2.16.1
प्र वः॑ स॒तां ज्येष्ठ॑तमाय सुष्टु॒तिम॒ग्नावि॑व समिधा॒ने ह॒विर्भ॑रे ।
इन्द्र॑मजु॒र्यं ज॒रय॑न्तमुक्षि॒तं स॒नाद्युवा॑न॒मव॑से हवामहे ॥
For you all, for the most excellent Indra, I bring a fine praise, as one offers oblation into the kindled fire. We call upon Indra, unaging, never old, vigorous, ever youthful, for help.
2.16.2
यस्मा॒दिन्द्रा॑द्बृह॒तः किं च॒नेमृ॒ते विश्वा॑न्यस्मि॒न्त्सम्भृ॒ताधि॑ वी॒र्या॑ ।
ज॒ठरे॒ सोमं॑ त॒न्वी॑ सहो॒ महो॒ हस्ते॒ वज्रं॒ भर॑ति शी॒र्षणि॒ क्रतु॑म् ॥
Without the great Indra nothing at all comes to be; in him all heroic powers are gathered. He bears soma in his belly and great strength in his body; he holds the thunderbolt in his hand and resolve upon his head.
2.16.3
न क्षो॒णीभ्यां॑ परि॒भ्वे॑ त इन्द्रि॒यं न स॑मु॒द्रैः पर्व॑तैरिन्द्र ते॒ रथः॑ ।
न ते॒ वज्र॒मन्व॑श्नोति॒ कश्च॒न यदा॒शुभिः॒ पत॑सि॒ योज॑ना पु॒रु ॥
O Indra, neither the two worlds can encompass your power, nor can oceans and mountains hold back your chariot. No one can reach your thunderbolt when, with swift steeds, you fly many leagues.
2.16.4
विश्वे॒ ह्य॑स्मै यज॒ताय॑ धृ॒ष्णवे॒ क्रतुं॒ भर॑न्ति वृष॒भाय॒ सश्च॑ते ।
वृषा॑ यजस्व ह॒विषा॑ वि॒दुष्ट॑रः॒ पिबे॑न्द्र॒ सोमं॑ वृष॒भेण॑ भा॒नुना॑ ॥
For the sacrifice-worthy, fearless Indra, all the gods bring their resolve; he is the bull, who attends all. O bull Indra, perform sacrifice with the oblation; you are the most knowing. Drink soma, bright as a bull.
2.16.5
वृष्णः॒ कोशः॑ पवते॒ मध्व॑ ऊ॒र्मिर्वृ॑ष॒भान्ना॑य वृष॒भाय॒ पात॑वे ।
वृष॑णाध्व॒र्यू वृ॑ष॒भासो॒ अद्र॑यो॒ वृष॑णं॒ सोमं॑ वृष॒भाय॑ सुष्वति ॥
The vessel of the bull flows; a wave of honey surges, for the bull's food and for the bull to drink. The two bull-like priests and the stones press soma for the bull.
2.16.6
वृषा॑ ते॒ वज्र॑ उ॒त ते॒ वृषा॒ रथो॒ वृष॑णा॒ हरी॑ वृष॒भाण्यायु॑धा ।
वृष्णो॒ मद॑स्य वृषभ॒ त्वमी॑शिष॒ इन्द्र॒ सोम॑स्य वृष॒भस्य॑ तृप्णुहि ॥
Your thunderbolt is a bull, and your chariot is a bull; the two bay steeds are bulls, and your weapons are bull-like. O bull, lord of the Vṛṣṇi intoxication, you rule. O Indra, be satisfied with soma, like a bull.
2.16.7
प्र ते॒ नावं॒ न सम॑ने वच॒स्युवं॒ ब्रह्म॑णा यामि॒ सव॑नेषु॒ दाधृ॑षिः ।
कु॒विन्नो॑ अ॒स्य वच॑सो नि॒बोधि॑ष॒दिन्द्र॒मुत्सं॒ न वसु॑नः सिचामहे ॥
Like a boat that stirs speech in the assembly, I come to you boldly with prayer at the pressings. Perhaps Indra will heed this speech of ours, as we pour out a spring of wealth.
2.16.8
पु॒रा स॑म्बा॒धाद॒भ्या व॑वृत्स्व नो धे॒नुर्न व॒त्सं यव॑सस्य पि॒प्युषी॑ ।
स॒कृत्सु ते॑ सुम॒तिभिः॑ शतक्रतो॒ सं पत्नी॑भि॒र्न वृष॑णो नसीमहि ॥
Turn us back from the earlier constraint toward here, like a cow that has drunk fresh grass turns to her calf. O hundred-minded one, once, by your good favours, may we be joined together, like bulls with their wives.
2.16.9
नू॒नं सा ते॒ प्रति॒ वरं॑ जरि॒त्रे दु॑ही॒यदि॑न्द्र॒ दक्षि॑णा म॒घोनी॑ ।
शिक्षा॑ स्तो॒तृभ्यो॒ माति॑ ध॒ग्भगो॑ नो बृ॒हद्व॑देम वि॒दथे॑ सु॒वीराः॑ ॥
Surely may that gift of yours bear fruit for the praiser; O Indra, may the rich gift yield its milk. Grant it to the singers; may Bhaga not forsake us; in the contest may we speak great words, with good heroes.
