10.23.1
यजा॑मह॒ इन्द्रं॒ वज्र॑दक्षिणं॒ हरी॑णां र॒थ्यं॑ विव्र॑तानाम् ।
प्र श्मश्रु॒ दोधु॑वदू॒र्ध्वथा॑ भू॒द्वि सेना॑भि॒र्दय॑मानो॒ वि राध॑सा ॥
We honor Indra, wielder of the thunderbolt, giver of gifts, charioteer of the tawny steeds and lord of the well-governed horses. Shaking his beard, he rises aloft and divides his bounty widely with his hosts and his wealth.
10.23.2
हरी॒ न्व॑स्य॒ या वने॑ वि॒दे वसु॒ इन्द्रो॑ म॒घैर्म॒घवा॑ वृत्र॒हा भु॑वत् ।
ऋ॒भुर्वाज॑ ऋभु॒क्षाः प॑त्यते॒ शवोऽव॑ क्ष्णौमि॒ दास॑स्य॒ नाम॑ चित् ॥
Indra's two tawny steeds race through the forest to win wealth; Indra, the bounteous slayer of Vṛtra, grows mighty through his gifts. Ṛbhu, Vāja and Ṛbhukṣan are lords of strength; I cast even the enemy's name down.
10.23.3
य॒दा वज्रं॒ हिर॑ण्य॒मिदथा॒ रथं॒ हरी॒ यम॑स्य॒ वह॑तो॒ वि सू॒रिभिः॑ ।
आ ति॑ष्ठति म॒घवा॒ सन॑श्रुत॒ इन्द्रो॒ वाज॑स्य दी॒र्घश्र॑वस॒स्पतिः॑ ॥
When his golden thunderbolt and chariot are borne by his two tawny steeds together with the patrons of the sacrifice, the bountiful, renowned Indra takes his stand; he is the lord of the prize of victory and of long fame.
10.23.4
सो चि॒न्नु वृ॒ष्टिर्यू॒थ्या॑ स्वा सचाँ॒ इन्द्रः॒ श्मश्रू॑णि॒ हरि॑ता॒भि प्रु॑ष्णुते ।
अव॑ वेति सु॒क्षयं॑ सु॒ते मधूदिद्धू॑नोति॒ वातो॒ यथा॒ वन॑म् ॥
That very Indra, with his own band, brings the rain; as a companion, Indra shakes his beards and tawny locks. At the pressing of soma he knows the good dwelling; and as the wind shakes the forest, so he stirs the sweet drink upward.
10.23.5
यो वा॒चा विवा॑चो मृ॒ध्रवा॑चः पु॒रू स॒हस्राशि॑वा ज॒घान॑ ।
तत्त॒दिद॑स्य॒ पौंस्यं॑ गृणीमसि पि॒तेव॒ यस्तवि॑षीं वावृ॒धे शवः॑ ॥
We sing of that very manly deed of him who with his word struck down the speechless and the stammering foes, and many thousands of the unholy; like a father, he grows in his power and mighty strength.
10.23.6
स्तोमं॑ त इन्द्र विम॒दा अ॑जीजन॒न्नपू॑र्व्यं पुरु॒तमं॑ सु॒दान॑वे ।
वि॒द्मा ह्य॑स्य॒ भोज॑नमि॒नस्य॒ यदा प॒शुं न गो॒पाः क॑रामहे ॥
O Indra, the Vimada seers made for you this unprecedented and most abundant praise, for the bountiful patron. We know what is the food of this mighty one; as herdsmen do for their cattle, so we make this for him.
10.23.7
माकि॑र्न ए॒ना स॒ख्या वि यौ॑षु॒स्तव॑ चेन्द्र विम॒दस्य॑ च॒ ऋषेः॑ ।
वि॒द्मा हि ते॒ प्रम॑तिं देव जामि॒वद॒स्मे ते॑ सन्तु स॒ख्या शि॒वानि॑ ॥
O Indra, may the friendships with this Vimada and the seer never be severed from us. O god, we know your wisdom as a kinsman does; may your friendships toward us be auspicious.
