10.48.1
अ॒हं भु॑वं॒ वसु॑नः पू॒र्व्यस्पति॑र॒हं धना॑नि॒ सं ज॑यामि॒ शश्व॑तः ।
मां ह॑वन्ते पि॒तरं॒ न ज॒न्तवो॑ अ॒हं दा॒शुषे॒ वि भ॑जामि॒ भोज॑नम् ॥
I became the first lord of wealth; I win the lasting riches together. People call me like a father; I share food with the giver.
10.48.2
अ॒हमिन्द्रो॒ रोधो॒ वक्षो॒ अथ॑र्वणस्त्रि॒ताय॒ गा अ॑जनय॒महे॒रधि॑ ।
अ॒हं दस्यु॑भ्यः॒ परि॑ नृ॒म्णमा द॑दे गो॒त्रा शिक्ष॑न्दधी॒चे मा॑त॒रिश्व॑ने ॥
I am Indra; I broke the barrier and the chest of Atharvan, and for Trita I released the cows from the serpent. From the dasyus I take back manly strength; I taught the secrets of the clan to Dadhyañc and Mātariśvan.
10.48.3
मह्यं॒ त्वष्टा॒ वज्र॑मतक्षदाय॒सं मयि॑ दे॒वासो॑ऽवृज॒न्नपि॒ क्रतु॑म् ।
ममानी॑कं॒ सूर्य॑स्येव दु॒ष्टरं॒ मामार्य॑न्ति कृ॒तेन॒ कर्त्वे॑न च ॥
For me Tvaṣṭar fashioned an iron thunderbolt; in me the gods also set their resolve. My banner is hard to overcome, like the sun's; they assail me with deed and act.
10.48.4
अ॒हमे॒तं ग॒व्यय॒मश्व्यं॑ प॒शुं पु॑री॒षिणं॒ साय॑केना हिर॒ण्यय॑म् ।
पु॒रू स॒हस्रा॒ नि शि॑शामि दा॒शुषे॒ यन्मा॒ सोमा॑स उ॒क्थिनो॒ अम॑न्दिषुः ॥
This cattle-seeking, horse-seeking, dung-bearing animal I guard with a golden arrow; to the giver I deliver many thousands, since the reciting somas have gladdened me.
10.48.5
अ॒हमिन्द्रो॒ न परा॑ जिग्य॒ इद्धनं॒ न मृ॒त्यवेऽव॑ तस्थे॒ कदा॑ च॒न ।
सोम॒मिन्मा॑ सु॒न्वन्तो॑ याचता॒ वसु॒ न मे॑ पूरवः स॒ख्ये रि॑षाथन ॥
I am Indra; I never lost my wealth nor ever bowed down to death at all. While pressing soma, ask for wealth from me alone; O bountiful ones, do not perish in my friendship.
10.48.6
अ॒हमे॒ताञ्च्छाश्व॑सतो॒ द्वाद्वेन्द्रं॒ ये वज्रं॑ यु॒धयेऽकृ॑ण्वत ।
आ॒ह्वय॑मानाँ॒ अव॒ हन्म॑नाहनं दृ॒ळ्हा वद॒न्नन॑मस्युर्नम॒स्विनः॑ ॥
These, panting in pairs, who raised Indra's thunderbolt for battle — I struck them down and slew them with the blow of the bolt, both the firmly speaking non-bowers and the homage-givers.
10.48.7
अ॒भी॑दमेक॒मेको॑ अस्मि नि॒ष्षाळ॒भी द्वा किमु॒ त्रयः॑ करन्ति ।
खले॒ न प॒र्षान्प्रति॑ हन्मि॒ भूरि॒ किं मा॑ निन्दन्ति॒ शत्र॑वोऽनि॒न्द्राः ॥
I alone stand against all these; what can two or three do against me? As one threshes chaff on the threshing floor, so I strike down many. Why do the foes who do not honor Indra revile me?
10.48.8
अ॒हं गु॒ङ्गुभ्यो॑ अतिथि॒ग्वमिष्क॑र॒मिषं॒ न वृ॑त्र॒तुरं॑ वि॒क्षु धा॑रयम् ।
यत्प॑र्णय॒घ्न उ॒त वा॑ करञ्ज॒हे प्राहं म॒हे वृ॑त्र॒हत्ये॒ अशु॑श्रवि ॥
For the Guṅgus I nourished Atithigva; like food that overcomes Vṛtra, I held strength among the settled people. When I manifested in the parṇaya or the karañja tree, my fame was heard in the great battle of slaying Vṛtra.
10.48.9
प्र मे॒ नमी॑ सा॒प्य इ॒षे भु॒जे भू॒द्गवा॒मेषे॑ स॒ख्या कृ॑णुत द्वि॒ता ।
दि॒द्युं यद॑स्य समि॒थेषु॑ मं॒हय॒मादिदे॑नं॒ शंस्य॑मु॒क्थ्यं॑ करम् ॥
Nāmī became my companion for food and enjoyment; in the pursuit of the cows, may they make a twofold friendship. When in the contests I exalt his greatness, then I make him worthy of praise and to be celebrated in hymns.
10.48.10
प्र नेम॑स्मिन्ददृशे॒ सोमो॑ अ॒न्तर्गो॒पा नेम॑मा॒विर॒स्था कृ॑णोति ।
स ति॒ग्मशृ॑ङ्गं वृष॒भं युयु॑त्सन्द्रु॒हस्त॑स्थौ बहु॒ले ब॒द्धो अ॒न्तः ॥
Soma appeared within him, and the herdsman set him openly in place. Desiring to fight the sharp-horned bull, he stood bound within the dense bonds of the deceiver.
10.48.11
आ॒दि॒त्यानां॒ वसू॑नां रु॒द्रिया॑णां दे॒वो दे॒वानां॒ न मि॑नामि॒ धाम॑ ।
ते मा॑ भ॒द्राय॒ शव॑से ततक्षु॒रप॑राजित॒मस्तृ॑त॒मषा॑ळ्हम् ॥
As god of the Ādityas, Vasus, and Rudras, I do not violate the abode of the gods. They fashioned me for good and for strength, making me unconquered, unshaken, invincible.
