2.20.1
व॒यं ते॒ वय॑ इन्द्र वि॒द्धि षु णः॒ प्र भ॑रामहे वाज॒युर्न रथ॑म् ।
वि॒प॒न्यवो॒ दीध्य॑तो मनी॒षा सु॒म्नमिय॑क्षन्त॒स्त्वाव॑तो॒ नॄन् ॥
O Indra, may we know you well; like one who seeks spoils, we bring our chariot forward toward you. Praising and kindled in mind, we come desiring the favor of leaders such as you.
2.20.2
त्वं न॑ इन्द्र॒ त्वाभि॑रू॒ती त्वा॑य॒तो अ॑भिष्टि॒पासि॒ जना॑न् ।
त्वमि॒नो दा॒शुषो॑ वरू॒तेत्थाधी॑र॒भि यो नक्ष॑ति त्वा ॥
You are our protector, O Indra; with your helps, for those who seek you, you defeat the enemies of men. You are the guardian of the generous worshiper and lord of the people; whoever approaches you reaches you.
2.20.3
स नो॒ युवेन्द्रो॑ जो॒हूत्रः॒ सखा॑ शि॒वो न॒राम॑स्तु पा॒ता ।
यः शंस॑न्तं॒ यः श॑शमा॒नमू॒ती पच॑न्तं च स्तु॒वन्तं॑ च प्र॒णेष॑त् ॥
May that youthful Indra, swift to be called, be our friend and a kindly protector of men. He who leads forward the praiser, the striver, the one who cooks with help, and the praiser — may he lead us forward too.
2.20.4
तमु॑ स्तुष॒ इन्द्रं॒ तं गृ॑णीषे॒ यस्मि॑न्पु॒रा वा॑वृ॒धुः शा॑श॒दुश्च॑ ।
स वस्वः॒ कामं॑ पीपरदिया॒नो ब्र॑ह्मण्य॒तो नूत॑नस्या॒योः ॥
Praise that very Indra; it is him you sing, by whose strength they of old grew strong and dwelt in ease. May he fulfill the desire for wealth; he comes to the new man, the one who speaks prayer.
2.20.5
सो अङ्गि॑रसामु॒चथा॑ जुजु॒ष्वान्ब्रह्मा॑ तूतो॒दिन्द्रो॑ गा॒तुमि॒ष्णन् ।
मु॒ष्णन्नु॒षसः॒ सूर्ये॑ण स्त॒वानश्न॑स्य चिच्छिश्नथत्पू॒र्व्याणि॑ ॥
That very Indra, delighted by the chants of the Angirases, impels the prayer and seeks the way. He finds the one who hid the dawns along with the sun, and from of old he splits even the rock.
2.20.6
स ह॑ श्रु॒त इन्द्रो॒ नाम॑ दे॒व ऊ॒र्ध्वो भु॑व॒न्मनु॑षे द॒स्मत॑मः ।
अव॑ प्रि॒यम॑र्शसा॒नस्य॑ सा॒ह्वाञ्शिरो॑ भरद्दा॒सस्य॑ स्व॒धावा॑न् ॥
May that Indra, renowned by name, rise up as a god for mankind, the most destructive of all. Striking down the beloved of the slave Arśasāna, victorious and mighty, may he bear away the slave's head.
2.20.7
स वृ॑त्र॒हेन्द्रः॑ कृ॒ष्णयो॑नीः पुरंद॒रो दासी॑रैरय॒द्वि ।
अज॑नय॒न्मन॑वे॒ क्षाम॒पश्च॑ स॒त्रा शंसं॒ यज॑मानस्य तूतोत् ॥
Indra, slayer of Vṛtra and destroyer of forts, scattered the dark-wombed slave women; for Manu he brought forth the earth and the waters, and truly hastened the praise of the sacrificer.
2.20.8
तस्मै॑ तव॒स्य॑मनु॑ दायि स॒त्रेन्द्रा॑य दे॒वेभि॒रर्ण॑सातौ ।
प्रति॒ यद॑स्य॒ वज्रं॑ बा॒ह्वोर्धुर्ह॒त्वी दस्यू॒न्पुर॒ आय॑सी॒र्नि ता॑रीत् ॥
Power was truly bestowed on him, for Indra, together with the gods, in the place of flowing waters; when he set the thunderbolt in his two arms and, striking, brought down the dasyus and the iron forts.
2.20.9
नू॒नं सा ते॒ प्रति॒ वरं॑ जरि॒त्रे दु॑ही॒यदि॑न्द्र॒ दक्षि॑णा म॒घोनी॑ ।
शिक्षा॑ स्तो॒तृभ्यो॒ माति॑ ध॒ग्भगो॑ नो बृ॒हद्व॑देम वि॒दथे॑ सु॒वीराः॑ ॥
Surely may that gift, through your boon, yield its milk to the singer; O Indra, may that bountiful gift bring riches. Instruct the praisers; may fortune not harm us; may we, with good heroes, speak great words in the assembly.
