10.96.1
प्र ते॑ म॒हे वि॒दथे॑ शंसिषं॒ हरी॒ प्र ते॑ वन्वे व॒नुषो॑ हर्य॒तं मद॑म् ।
घृ॒तं न यो हरि॑भि॒श्चारु॒ सेच॑त॒ आ त्वा॑ विशन्तु॒ हरि॑वर्पसं॒ गिरः॑ ॥
Indra, in the great rite may I praise your two bay steeds, and the exhilarating draught of the one who gives. May the songs that come with the beautiful bay steeds, which pour out like ghee, reach you, O you of bay-colored form.
10.96.2
हरिं॒ हि योनि॑म॒भि ये स॒मस्व॑रन्हि॒न्वन्तो॒ हरी॑ दि॒व्यं यथा॒ सदः॑ ।
आ यं पृ॒णन्ति॒ हरि॑भि॒र्न धे॒नव॒ इन्द्रा॑य शू॒षं हरि॑वन्तमर्चत ॥
Those who urged the bay steed toward its place and drove the two bay steeds toward the heavenly seat made their sound. Praise Indra, the strong and bay-rich, who fills with bay steeds as cows fill with milk.
10.96.3
सो अ॑स्य॒ वज्रो॒ हरि॑तो॒ य आ॑य॒सो हरि॒र्निका॑मो॒ हरि॒रा गभ॑स्त्योः ।
द्यु॒म्नी सु॑शि॒प्रो हरि॑मन्युसायक॒ इन्द्रे॒ नि रू॒पा हरि॑ता मिमिक्षिरे ॥
That thunderbolt of his, made of iron and bay in hue, is bay; in his arms it stands as the bay. Shining, fair-cheeked, with bay-colored arrows, it has been poured into Indra, and these bay forms have mingled in him.
10.96.4
दि॒वि न के॒तुरधि॑ धायि हर्य॒तो वि॒व्यच॒द्वज्रो॒ हरि॑तो॒ न रंह्या॑ ।
तु॒ददहिं॒ हरि॑शिप्रो॒ य आ॑य॒सः स॒हस्र॑शोका अभवद्धरिम्भ॒रः ॥
Like a banner it was set upon the sky; the bay thunderbolt shone forth. It strikes the serpent with its bay-lit head, made of iron; becoming thousand-flamed, it became the bearer of the bay steeds.
10.96.5
त्वंत्व॑महर्यथा॒ उप॑स्तुतः॒ पूर्वे॑भिरिन्द्र हरिकेश॒ यज्व॑भिः ।
त्वं ह॑र्यसि॒ तव॒ विश्व॑मु॒क्थ्य॑मसा॑मि॒ राधो॑ हरिजात हर्य॒तम् ॥
Indra, you yourself are praised by the ancient sacrificers; O bay-maned one, you delight in the bay hue. All your praiseworthy wealth, O bay-born one, you ought to give as a gift of bay steeds.
10.96.6
ता व॒ज्रिणं॑ म॒न्दिनं॒ स्तोम्यं॒ मद॒ इन्द्रं॒ रथे॑ वहतो हर्य॒ता हरी॑ ।
पु॒रूण्य॑स्मै॒ सव॑नानि॒ हर्य॑त॒ इन्द्रा॑य॒ सोमा॒ हर॑यो दधन्विरे ॥
Those two bay steeds carry Indra, the thunderbolt-bearer, the exhilarated and praiseworthy one, in his chariot; many pressings are for him, and for Indra the soma juices have flowed like bay steeds.
10.96.7
अरं॒ कामा॑य॒ हर॑यो दधन्विरे स्थि॒राय॑ हिन्व॒न्हर॑यो॒ हरी॑ तु॒रा ।
अर्व॑द्भि॒र्यो हरि॑भि॒र्जोष॒मीय॑ते॒ सो अ॑स्य॒ कामं॒ हरि॑वन्तमानशे ॥
For desire the bay steeds have rushed; for steadiness they urge on the two swift bay steeds. He who is driven with joy by the bay horses attains his desire, reaching Indra who possesses bay steeds.
10.96.8
हरि॑श्मशारु॒र्हरि॑केश आय॒सस्तु॑र॒स्पेये॒ यो ह॑रि॒पा अव॑र्धत ।
अर्व॑द्भि॒र्यो हरि॑भिर्वा॒जिनी॑वसु॒रति॒ विश्वा॑ दुरि॒ता पारि॑ष॒द्धरी॑ ॥
Bay-bearded, bay-haired, iron-hued, who for the prize of the race grew strong by drinking the bay draught. May he who is lord of spoils with the bay steeds carry the bays across all difficulties.
10.96.9
स्रुवे॑व॒ यस्य॒ हरि॑णी विपे॒ततुः॒ शिप्रे॒ वाजा॑य॒ हरि॑णी॒ दवि॑ध्वतः ।
प्र यत्कृ॒ते च॑म॒से मर्मृ॑ज॒द्धरी॑ पी॒त्वा मद॑स्य हर्य॒तस्यान्ध॑सः ॥
Whose two bay ones fly like a ladle, whose bay cheeks quiver for the prize. When he wipes the bays on the cup he has made, drinking the exhilarating tawny soma-juice, he rejoices.
10.96.10
उ॒त स्म॒ सद्म॑ हर्य॒तस्य॑ प॒स्त्यो॑रत्यो॒ न वाजं॒ हरि॑वाँ अचिक्रदत् ।
म॒ही चि॒द्धि धि॒षणाह॑र्य॒दोज॑सा बृ॒हद्वयो॑ दधिषे हर्य॒तश्चि॒दा ॥
And indeed the seat of the bay one is in his two hands; like a racehorse, he who has bays roared. He took the great thought by might; and you, bay one, also hold up great vigour.
10.96.11
आ रोद॑सी॒ हर्य॑माणो महि॒त्वा नव्यं॑नव्यं हर्यसि॒ मन्म॒ नु प्रि॒यम् ।
प्र प॒स्त्य॑मसुर हर्य॒तं गोरा॒विष्कृ॑धि॒ हर॑ये॒ सूर्या॑य ॥
Driven by greatness, you fill the two worlds; you drive forth each new, dear hymn. O Asura, reveal openly the bay path of the cows, for the bay one and for the sun.
10.96.12
आ त्वा॑ ह॒र्यन्तं॑ प्र॒युजो॒ जना॑नां॒ रथे॑ वहन्तु॒ हरि॑शिप्रमिन्द्र ।
पिबा॒ यथा॒ प्रति॑भृतस्य॒ मध्वो॒ हर्य॑न्य॒ज्ञं स॑ध॒मादे॒ दशो॑णिम् ॥
O Indra of the bay cheeks, may the yoked steeds of the peoples carry you in the chariot. As you drink the mead that has been brought forth, driving the bays, accept the sacrifice with the dashoni-cup at the festival of revelry.
10.96.13
अपाः॒ पूर्वे॑षां हरिवः सु॒ताना॒मथो॑ इ॒दं सव॑नं॒ केव॑लं ते ।
म॒म॒द्धि सोमं॒ मधु॑मन्तमिन्द्र स॒त्रा वृ॑षञ्ज॒ठर॒ आ वृ॑षस्व ॥
O Indra of bay steeds, you have drunk the soma pressed by the former ones, and this pressing is for you alone. O Indra, O bull, rejoice truly in the sweet soma; fill your belly with it and grow strong.
