2.18.1
प्रा॒ता रथो॒ नवो॑ योजि॒ सस्नि॒श्चतु॑र्युगस्त्रिक॒शः स॒प्तर॑श्मिः ।
दशा॑रित्रो मनु॒ष्यः॑ स्व॒र्षाः स इ॒ष्टिभि॑र्म॒तिभी॒ रंह्यो॑ भूत् ॥
At dawn the new chariot is yoked, four-yoked, three-tiered, seven-reined. The human with ten reins, the finder of heaven's light, let him become dear through offerings and prayers.
2.18.2
सास्मा॒ अरं॑ प्रथ॒मं स द्वि॒तीय॑मु॒तो तृ॒तीयं॒ मनु॑षः॒ स होता॑ ।
अ॒न्यस्या॒ गर्भ॑म॒न्य ऊ॑ जनन्त॒ सो अ॒न्येभिः॑ सचते॒ जेन्यो॒ वृषा॑ ॥
For him the first, he is also the second and the third; he is the priest of men. Others gave birth in the womb of one; he joins with others, the bull who begets.
2.18.3
हरी॒ नु कं॒ रथ॒ इन्द्र॑स्य योजमा॒यै सू॒क्तेन॒ वच॑सा॒ नवे॑न ।
मो षु त्वामत्र॑ ब॒हवो॒ हि विप्रा॒ नि री॑रम॒न्यज॑मानासो अ॒न्ये ॥
Indeed I yoke the two bays, Indra's chariot, to come, with a hymn and new speech. Let not the many wise seers and the sacrificers and the others here bring you down and rejoice.
2.18.4
आ द्वाभ्यां॒ हरि॑भ्यामिन्द्र याहि॒ आ च॒तुर्भि॒रा ष॒ड्भिर्हू॒यमा॑नः ।
आष्टा॒भिर्द॒शभिः॑ सोम॒पेय॑म॒यं सु॒तः सु॑मख॒ मा मृध॑स्कः ॥
With two bays, Indra, come; come invoked with four, with six; come with eight and with ten. For the soma-drinking this is pressed out; good sacrificer, do not obstruct.
2.18.5
आ विं॑श॒त्या त्रिं॒शता॑ याह्य॒र्वाङा च॑त्वारिं॒शता॒ हरि॑भिर्युजा॒नः ।
आ प॑ञ्चा॒शता॑ सु॒रथे॑भिरि॒न्द्रा ष॒ष्ट्या स॑प्त॒त्या सो॑म॒पेय॑म् ॥
Come with twenty and with thirty; come yoked with forty bays; with fifty good chariots, Indra, come; with sixty and seventy for the soma-drinking.
2.18.6
आशी॒त्या न॑व॒त्या या॑ह्य॒र्वाङा श॒तेन॒ हरि॑भिरु॒ह्यमा॑नः ।
अ॒यं हि ते॑ शु॒नहो॑त्रेषु॒ सोम॒ इन्द्र॑ त्वा॒या परि॑षिक्तो॒ मदा॑य ॥
Come with eighty and with ninety; come carried by a hundred bays. This soma is yours indeed among the Śunahotra priests; Indra, this soma poured out for you is for intoxication.
2.18.7
मम॒ ब्रह्मे॑न्द्र या॒ह्यच्छा॒ विश्वा॒ हरी॑ धु॒रि धि॑ष्वा॒ रथ॑स्य ।
पु॒रु॒त्रा हि वि॒हव्यो॑ ब॒भूथा॒स्मिञ्च्छू॑र॒ सव॑ने मादयस्व ॥
O Indra, come toward my prayer; yoke the two all-pervading tawny horses in the chariot's yoke. You have become worthy of invocation many times; O hero, rejoice at this soma-pressing.
2.18.8
न म॒ इन्द्रे॑ण स॒ख्यं वि यो॑षद॒स्मभ्य॑मस्य॒ दक्षि॑णा दुहीत ।
उप॒ ज्येष्ठे॒ वरू॑थे॒ गभ॑स्तौ प्रा॒येप्रा॑ये जिगी॒वांसः॑ स्याम ॥
May my friendship with Indra never be severed; may his gift yield milk for us. In the highest protection, in the shelter of his hands, may we be victorious in every battle.
2.18.9
नू॒नं सा ते॒ प्रति॒ वरं॑ जरि॒त्रे दु॑ही॒यदि॑न्द्र॒ दक्षि॑णा म॒घोनी॑ ।
शिक्षा॑ स्तो॒तृभ्यो॒ माति॑ ध॒ग्भगो॑ नो बृ॒हद्व॑देम वि॒दथे॑ सु॒वीराः॑ ॥
Surely that gift of yours, which grants the boon to the praiser, O Indra, may that bounteous gift yield milk. O Indra, grant welfare to the praisers; may Bhaga not destroy us; may we speak a great word in the assembly with excellent heroes.
