10.28.1
विश्वो॒ ह्य॑न्यो अ॒रिरा॑ज॒गाम॒ ममेदह॒ श्वशु॑रो॒ ना ज॑गाम ।
ज॒क्षी॒याद्धा॒ना उ॒त सोमं॑ पपीया॒त्स्वा॑शितः॒ पुन॒रस्तं॑ जगायात् ॥
All other rivals have come, but my father-in-law has not come. Let him eat the grains and drink the soma, and, well satisfied, go back again to his home.
10.28.2
स रोरु॑वद्वृष॒भस्ति॒ग्मशृ॑ङ्गो॒ वर्ष्म॑न्तस्थौ॒ वरि॑म॒न्ना पृ॑थि॒व्याः ।
विश्वे॑ष्वेनं वृ॒जने॑षु पामि॒ यो मे॑ कु॒क्षी सु॒तसो॑मः पृ॒णाति॑ ॥
That roaring bull, sharp-horned, stands in the wide expanse, established above the broad earth. In all battles I protect him, who, pressing the soma, fills both my flanks for me.
10.28.3
अद्रि॑णा ते म॒न्दिन॑ इन्द्र॒ तूया॑न्त्सु॒न्वन्ति॒ सोमा॒न्पिब॑सि॒ त्वमे॑षाम् ।
पच॑न्ति ते वृष॒भाँ अत्सि॒ तेषां॑ पृ॒क्षेण॒ यन्म॑घवन्हू॒यमा॑नः ॥
With the stone they quickly press the exhilarating soma for you, Indra; of these you drink. They cook bulls for you, and of them you eat, O bountiful one, when you are invoked with the gift.
10.28.4
इ॒दं सु मे॑ जरित॒रा चि॑किद्धि प्रती॒पं शापं॑ न॒द्यो॑ वहन्ति ।
लो॒पा॒शः सिं॒हं प्र॒त्यञ्च॑मत्साः क्रो॒ष्टा व॑रा॒हं निर॑तक्त॒ कक्षा॑त् ॥
Understand this well, O singer: the rivers carry away the hostile curse. The wolf ate the lion that came against it; the jackal dragged the boar out of the thicket.
10.28.5
क॒था त॑ ए॒तद॒हमा चि॑केतं॒ गृत्स॑स्य॒ पाक॑स्त॒वसो॑ मनी॒षाम् ।
त्वं नो॑ वि॒द्वाँ ऋ॑तु॒था वि वो॑चो॒ यमर्धं॑ ते मघवन्क्षे॒म्या धूः ॥
How shall I know this of yours? Let me understand well the wisdom of Gṛtsa, the mighty one. You, the knowing one, speak forth to us in due season: which is the portion of your prosperous yoke-pole, O bountiful one?
10.28.6
ए॒वा हि मां त॒वसं॑ व॒र्धय॑न्ति दि॒वश्चि॑न्मे बृह॒त उत्त॑रा॒ धूः ।
पु॒रू स॒हस्रा॒ नि शि॑शामि सा॒कम॑श॒त्रुं हि मा॒ जनि॑ता ज॒जान॑ ॥
Thus they strengthen me, the mighty one; higher even than heaven is my great yoke-pole. I strike down many thousands together; without an enemy, my begetter indeed begot me.
10.28.7
ए॒वा हि मां त॒वसं॑ ज॒ज्ञुरु॒ग्रं कर्म॑न्कर्म॒न्वृष॑णमिन्द्र दे॒वाः ।
वधीं॑ वृ॒त्रं वज्रे॑ण मन्दसा॒नो अप॑ व्र॒जं म॑हि॒ना दा॒शुषे॑ वम् ॥
Thus the gods begot me, mighty and fierce, a bull in every deed, O Indra. With the thunderbolt you struck down Vṛtra; exhilarated by soma, by your might you opened the enclosure for the giver.
10.28.8
दे॒वास॑ आयन्पर॒शूँर॑बिभ्र॒न्वना॑ वृ॒श्चन्तो॑ अ॒भि वि॒ड्भिरा॑यन् ।
नि सु॒द्र्वं॑ दध॑तो व॒क्षणा॑सु॒ यत्रा॒ कृपी॑ट॒मनु॒ तद्द॑हन्ति ॥
The gods went, bearing axes; cutting the forests, they came with the people. They set down the good path among the dwellings, where behind the cave they burn it.
10.28.9
श॒शः क्षु॒रं प्र॒त्यञ्चं॑ जगा॒राद्रिं॑ लो॒गेन॒ व्य॑भेदमा॒रात् ।
बृ॒हन्तं॑ चिदृह॒ते र॑न्धयानि॒ वय॑द्व॒त्सो वृ॑ष॒भं शूशु॑वानः ॥
The hare swallowed the razor facing forward; from afar with its mouth it split the mountain in two. The great one too I shall break for the mighty; like a calf, eager and bellowing, rushing toward the bull.
10.28.10
सु॒प॒र्ण इ॒त्था न॒खमा सि॑षा॒याव॑रुद्धः परि॒पदं॒ न सिं॒हः ।
नि॒रु॒द्धश्चि॑न्महि॒षस्त॒र्ष्यावा॑न्गो॒धा तस्मा॑ अ॒यथं॑ कर्षदे॒तत् ॥
Thus the eagle with its talon lifted it up, as a lion holds back what has been encircled; the bound buffalo too is thirsty. The gold-hungry cow drew out this plunder for him.
10.28.11
तेभ्यो॑ गो॒धा अ॒यथं॑ कर्षदे॒तद्ये ब्र॒ह्मणः॑ प्रति॒पीय॒न्त्यन्नैः॑ ।
सि॒म उ॒क्ष्णो॑ऽवसृ॒ष्टाँ अ॑दन्ति स्व॒यं बला॑नि त॒न्वः॑ शृणा॒नाः ॥
For them the cow drew out this plunder, for those who drink again and again with the prayer and with the offerings. These released bulls eat for themselves, strengthening the powers of the body.
10.28.12
ए॒ते शमी॑भिः सु॒शमी॑ अभूव॒न्ये हि॑न्वि॒रे त॒न्वः॑ सोम॑ उ॒क्थैः ।
नृ॒वद्वद॒न्नुप॑ नो माहि॒ वाजा॑न्दि॒वि श्रवो॑ दधिषे॒ नाम॑ वी॒रः ॥
These became good doers with the Śamī rites, who strengthen their bodies with hymns in the Soma. Speaking like a man, come near to us and grant the prizes and strength; you have won fame in heaven, O hero, you have taken a name.
