2.11.1
श्रु॒धी हव॑मिन्द्र॒ मा रि॑षण्यः॒ स्याम॑ ते दा॒वने॒ वसू॑नाम् ।
इ॒मा हि त्वामूर्जो॑ व॒र्धय॑न्ति वसू॒यवः॒ सिन्ध॑वो॒ न क्षर॑न्तः ॥
Indra, hear our call; may we not be neglected, but gain wealth by your giving. These wealth-seekers increase you with strength, like rivers flowing forth.
2.11.2
सृ॒जो म॒हीरि॑न्द्र॒ या अपि॑न्वः॒ परि॑ष्ठिता॒ अहि॑ना शूर पू॒र्वीः ।
अम॑र्त्यं चिद्दा॒सं मन्य॑मान॒मवा॑भिनदु॒क्थैर्वा॑वृधा॒नः ॥
Indra, you released the great waters that were enclosed; hero, in combat with the serpent you broke many ancient barriers. Growing strong through hymns, you struck down even the immortal servant who deemed himself mighty.
2.11.3
उ॒क्थेष्विन्नु शू॑र॒ येषु॑ चा॒कन्त्स्तोमे॑ष्विन्द्र रु॒द्रिये॑षु च ।
तुभ्येदे॒ता यासु॑ मन्दसा॒नः प्र वा॒यवे॑ सिस्रते॒ न शु॒भ्राः ॥
Hero, in the praises in which you have delighted, and Indra, in the Rudra-songs too, we praise. These are for you alone; exhilarated by them, they pour forth like bright waters for Vayu.
2.11.4
शु॒भ्रं नु ते॒ शुष्मं॑ व॒र्धय॑न्तः शु॒भ्रं वज्रं॑ बा॒ह्वोर्दधा॑नाः ।
शु॒भ्रस्त्वमि॑न्द्र वावृधा॒नो अ॒स्मे दासी॒र्विशः॒ सूर्ये॑ण सह्याः ॥
Increasing your bright vigour, and holding the bright thunderbolt in your arms, we praise you. Indra, bright and growing strong, subdue for us the servants and the peoples along with the sun.
2.11.5
गुहा॑ हि॒तं गुह्यं॑ गू॒ळ्हम॒प्सु अपी॑वृतं मा॒यिनं॑ क्षि॒यन्त॑म् ।
उ॒तो अ॒पो द्यां त॑स्त॒भ्वांस॒मह॒न्नहिं॑ शूर वी॒र्ये॑ण ॥
The serpent hidden in the cave, placed in secret, concealed in the waters, unrestrained, dwelling as a deceiver; this one you slew with might, hero, and him who supports the waters and heaven.
2.11.6
स्तवा॒ नु त॑ इन्द्र पू॒र्व्या म॒हानि॑ उ॒त स्त॑वाम॒ नूत॑ना कृ॒तानि॑ ।
स्तवा॒ वज्रं॑ बा॒ह्वोरु॒शन्तं॒ स्तवा॒ हरी॒ सूर्य॑स्य के॒तू ॥
Now praise your ancient great deeds, Indra, and let us praise your newly performed ones as well. Praise the thunderbolt shining in your arms; praise the two bay steeds of the sun and the two rays of light.
2.11.7
हरी॒ नु त॑ इन्द्र वा॒जय॑न्ता घृत॒श्चुतं॑ स्वा॒रम॑स्वार्ष्टाम् ।
वि स॑म॒ना भूमि॑रप्रथि॒ष्टारं॑स्त॒ पर्व॑तश्चित्सरि॒ष्यन् ॥
O Indra, your two horses, seeking strength and dripping with ghee, reached the bright realm. The earth spread out in its separate directions, and even the mountain, about to flow, was held fast.
2.11.8
नि पर्व॑तः सा॒द्यप्र॑युच्छ॒न्त्सं मा॒तृभि॑र्वावशा॒नो अ॑क्रान् ।
दू॒रे पा॒रे वाणीं॑ व॒र्धय॑न्त॒ इन्द्रे॑षितां ध॒मनिं॑ पप्रथ॒न्नि ॥
The mountain sat down, not releasing its waters, and together with the mothers it roared out. Far and near the far shore, raising its voice, they spread out the vein sent by Indra.
2.11.9
इन्द्रो॑ म॒हां सिन्धु॑मा॒शया॑नं माया॒विनं॑ वृ॒त्रम॑स्फुर॒न्निः ।
अरे॑जेतां॒ रोद॑सी भिया॒ने कनि॑क्रदतो॒ वृष्णो॑ अस्य॒ वज्रा॑त् ॥
Great Indra struck down the deceitful Vritra lying in the waters. From the roar of his thunderbolt, the bull's, both worlds trembled in terror.
2.11.10
अरो॑रवी॒द्वृष्णो॑ अस्य॒ वज्रोऽमा॑नुषं॒ यन्मानु॑षो नि॒जूर्वा॑त् ।
नि मा॒यिनो॑ दान॒वस्य॑ मा॒या अपा॑दयत्पपि॒वान्त्सु॒तस्य॑ ॥
The bull's thunderbolt shattered that superhuman who harmed mankind. Indra, having drunk the pressed soma, made fall the magic of the deceiver, the demon.
2.11.11
पिबा॑पि॒बेदि॑न्द्र शूर॒ सोमं॒ मन्द॑न्तु त्वा म॒न्दिनः॑ सु॒तासः॑ ।
पृ॒णन्त॑स्ते कु॒क्षी व॑र्धयन्तु इ॒त्था सु॒तः पौ॒र इन्द्र॑माव ॥
Drink, drink again, O Indra, O hero! May the exhilarating somas delight you. May they fill and make grow your two bellies. Thus the ancient seer, with the pressed soma, has praised Indra.
2.11.12
त्वे इ॒न्द्राप्य॑भूम॒ विप्रा॒ धियं॑ वनेम ऋत॒या सप॑न्तः ।
अ॒व॒स्यवो॑ धीमहि॒ प्रश॑स्तिं स॒द्यस्ते॑ रा॒यो दा॒वने॑ स्याम ॥
O Indra, we have also become inspired seers for you. Let us serve our thought and praise in accord with truth. Seeking help, may we at once hold your praise; may we be in the giving of your riches.
2.11.13
स्याम॒ ते त॑ इन्द्र॒ ये त॑ ऊ॒ती अ॑व॒स्यव॒ ऊर्जं॑ व॒र्धय॑न्तः ।
शु॒ष्मिन्त॑मं॒ यं चा॒कना॑म देवा॒स्मे र॒यिं रा॑सि वी॒रव॑न्तम् ॥
May we be yours, O Indra, who seek your protection and increase our strength. O god, grant us that most mighty wealth we have come to know, rich in heroes.
2.11.14
रासि॒ क्षयं॒ रासि॑ मि॒त्रम॒स्मे रासि॒ शर्ध॑ इन्द्र॒ मारु॑तं नः ।
स॒जोष॑सो॒ ये च॑ मन्दसा॒नाः प्र वा॒यवः॑ पा॒न्त्यग्र॑णीतिम् ॥
Give us a dwelling, give us an ally, O Indra, give us the strength of the Maruts. May the companions of Wind, rejoicing together and exhilarated, drink the foremost leader.
2.11.15
व्यन्त्विन्नु येषु॑ मन्दसा॒नस्तृ॒पत्सोमं॑ पाहि द्र॒ह्यदि॑न्द्र ।
अ॒स्मान्त्सु पृ॒त्स्वा त॑रु॒त्राव॑र्धयो॒ द्यां बृ॒हद्भि॑र॒र्कैः ॥
May they rejoice in them and be satisfied. Now drink the Soma, O Indra, and be glad. Protect us well in battles; O Tarutra, with great hymns you made the heaven grow.
2.11.16
बृ॒हन्त॒ इन्नु ये ते॑ तरुत्रो॒क्थेभि॑र्वा सु॒म्नमा॒विवा॑सान् ।
स्तृ॒णा॒नासो॑ ब॒र्हिः प॒स्त्या॑व॒त्त्वोता॒ इदि॑न्द्र॒ वाज॑मग्मन् ॥
The great ones, for you, O Tarutra, with praises or desiring wealth, having now spread the sacred grass and the offering ground, having you as protector, O Indra, have indeed won strength.
2.11.17
उ॒ग्रेष्विन्नु शू॑र मन्दसा॒नस्त्रिक॑द्रुकेषु पाहि॒ सोम॑मिन्द्र ।
प्र॒दोधु॑व॒च्छ्मश्रु॑षु प्रीणा॒नो या॒हि हरि॑भ्यां सु॒तस्य॑ पी॒तिम् ॥
O hero, now rejoicing among the fierce ones, drink the Soma among the Trikadrukas, O Indra. Pleased by those who sway on their beards, come with the two bay horses and drink the pressed Soma.
2.11.18
धि॒ष्वा शवः॑ शूर॒ येन॑ वृ॒त्रम॒वाभि॑न॒द्दानु॑मौर्णवा॒भम् ।
अपा॑वृणो॒र्ज्योति॒रार्या॑य॒ नि स॑व्य॒तः सा॑दि॒ दस्यु॑रिन्द्र ॥
Hold that strength, O hero, by which you broke Vṛtra and split open the stronghold of Dānu, of Aurṇavābha. You opened the light for the Ārya; O Indra, the dasyu sat down low on the left.
2.11.19
सने॑म॒ ये त॑ ऊ॒तिभि॒स्तर॑न्तो॒ विश्वा॒ स्पृध॒ आर्ये॑ण॒ दस्यू॑न् ।
अ॒स्मभ्यं॒ तत्त्वा॒ष्ट्रं वि॒श्वरू॑प॒मर॑न्धयः सा॒ख्यस्य॑ त्रि॒ताय॑ ॥
With your help, may we cross over all hostile forces and, with the noble one, conquer the dasyus. For us you split open the many-formed son of Tvashtar, for the sake of Trita's friendship.
2.11.20
अ॒स्य सु॑वा॒नस्य॑ म॒न्दिन॑स्त्रि॒तस्य॒ न्यर्बु॑दं वावृधा॒नो अ॑स्तः ।
अव॑र्तय॒त्सूर्यो॒ न च॒क्रं भि॒नद्व॒लमिन्द्रो॒ अङ्गि॑रस्वान् ॥
For the sake of Trita, the soma-presser, the exhilarated one, he, growing strong, cast Arbuda down. He turned him back as the sun turns its wheel; Indra with the Angirases split open Vala.
2.11.21
नू॒नं सा ते॒ प्रति॒ वरं॑ जरि॒त्रे दु॑ही॒यदि॑न्द्र॒ दक्षि॑णा म॒घोनी॑ ।
शिक्षा॑ स्तो॒तृभ्यो॒ माति॑ ध॒ग्भगो॑ नो बृ॒हद्व॑देम वि॒दथे॑ सु॒वीराः॑ ॥
May that gift of yours surely yield its fruit to the singer, O Indra; may that offering be rich in wealth. Grant it to the praisers, do not burn them; may Bhaga speak great praise for us, with good heroes in the assembly.
