3.31.1
शास॒द्वह्नि॑र्दुहि॒तुर्न॒प्त्यं॑ गाद्वि॒द्वाँ ऋ॒तस्य॒ दीधि॑तिं सप॒र्यन् ।
पि॒ता यत्र॑ दुहि॒तुः सेक॑मृ॒ञ्जन्त्सं श॒ग्म्ये॑न॒ मन॑सा दध॒न्वे ॥
Agni, the priest who knows and honours the radiance of cosmic order, came instructing the daughter's offspring; there the father, moistening the daughter's seed, joined himself with a gladdened mind.
3.31.2
न जा॒मये॒ तान्वो॑ रि॒क्थमा॑रैक्च॒कार॒ गर्भं॑ सनि॒तुर्नि॒धान॑म् ।
यदी॑ मा॒तरो॑ ज॒नय॑न्त॒ वह्नि॑म॒न्यः क॒र्ता सु॒कृतो॑र॒न्य ऋ॒न्धन् ॥
He did not take inheritance from his own kinswoman; he prepared the embryo, the resting-place of the begetter. When mothers gave birth to Agni the priest, one was the doer and another the increaser of the well-doer.
3.31.3
अ॒ग्निर्ज॑ज्ञे जु॒ह्वा॑ रेज॑मानो म॒हस्पु॒त्राँ अ॑रु॒षस्य॑ प्र॒यक्षे॑ ।
म॒हान्गर्भो॒ मह्या जा॒तमे॑षां म॒ही प्र॒वृद्धर्य॑श्वस्य य॒ज्ञैः ॥
Agni was born trembling with the ladle, in the forward offering of the great sons of the reddish dawn. Among these is the great embryo, and the great rain born with the sacrifices of Haryaśva.
3.31.4
अ॒भि जैत्री॑रसचन्त स्पृधा॒नं महि॒ ज्योति॒स्तम॑सो॒ निर॑जानन् ।
तं जा॑न॒तीः प्रत्युदा॑यन्नु॒षासः॒ पति॒र्गवा॑मभव॒देक॒ इन्द्रः॑ ॥
The victors clung to the contest; they perceived the great light out of darkness. Knowing it, the dawns rose up and came forward, and the one Indra became lord of the cows.
3.31.5
वी॒ळौ स॒तीर॒भि धीरा॑ अतृन्दन्प्रा॒चाहि॑न्व॒न्मन॑सा स॒प्त विप्राः॑ ।
विश्वा॑मविन्दन्प॒थ्या॑मृ॒तस्य॑ प्रजा॒नन्नित्ता नम॒सा वि॑वेश ॥
Toward the cows in the cave the steadfast ones pressed on; the seven inspired seers urged forward with mind. They found all the paths of cosmic order, and knowing them indeed, with reverence they entered into it.
3.31.6
वि॒दद्यदी॑ स॒रमा॑ रु॒ग्णमद्रे॒र्महि॒ पाथः॑ पू॒र्व्यं स॒ध्र्य॑क्कः ।
अग्रं॑ नयत्सु॒पद्यक्ष॑राणा॒मच्छा॒ रवं॑ प्रथ॒मा जा॑न॒ती गा॑त् ॥
When Saramā found the broken cave of the rock, she made the ancient great path her companion; first knowing, she went toward the well-footed sound of the syllables.
3.31.7
अग॑च्छदु॒ विप्र॑तमः सखी॒यन्नसू॑दयत्सु॒कृते॒ गर्भ॒मद्रिः॑ ।
स॒सान॒ मर्यो॒ युव॑भिर्मख॒स्यन्नथा॑भव॒दङ्गि॑राः स॒द्यो अर्च॑न् ॥
Indra, the most wise, came as a friend; for the one who acts well, the stone (thunderbolt) drove forth the embryo. The man sought it out with the young men, and Aṅgiras, desiring the sacrifice, at once became a singer of praise.
3.31.8
स॒तःस॑तः प्रति॒मानं॑ पुरो॒भूर्विश्वा॑ वेद॒ जनि॑मा॒ हन्ति॒ शुष्ण॑म् ।
प्र णो॑ दि॒वः प॑द॒वीर्ग॒व्युरर्च॒न्त्सखा॒ सखीँ॑रमुञ्च॒न्निर॑व॒द्यात् ॥
He who is the measure of what is, who goes before as protector, knows all births and slays Śuṣṇa. For us, the path-finder of heaven, the seeker of cows, the friend singing praise, frees his friends out from distress.
3.31.9
नि ग॑व्य॒ता मन॑सा सेदुर॒र्कैः कृ॑ण्वा॒नासो॑ अमृत॒त्वाय॑ गा॒तुम् ।
इ॒दं चि॒न्नु सद॑नं॒ भूर्ये॑षां॒ येन॒ मासाँ॒ असि॑षासन्नृ॒तेन॑ ॥
Seeking cows, with mind set on them, they sat down with praise-songs, making the way to immortality. Even now is their wide seat, by which they wished to win the months through cosmic order.
3.31.10
स॒म्पश्य॑माना अमदन्न॒भि स्वं पयः॑ प्र॒त्नस्य॒ रेत॑सो॒ दुघा॑नाः ।
वि रोद॑सी अतप॒द्घोष॑ एषां जा॒ते नि॒ष्ठामद॑धु॒र्गोषु॑ वी॒रान् ॥
Beholding their own milk, they rejoiced, milking the ancient seed. Their roar heated the two worlds; at birth they set heroes as a base among the cows.

उ॒रू॒च्य॑स्मै घृ॒तव॒द्भर॑न्ती॒ मधु॒ स्वाद्म॑ दुदुहे॒ जेन्या॒ गौः ॥
With those who were born, he indeed is the slayer of Vṛtra; he, with oblations, released the dawns, Indra with songs. The broad-shining cow, bearing ghee to him, milked the sweet mead born at birth.
3.31.12
पि॒त्रे चि॑च्चक्रुः॒ सद॑नं॒ सम॑स्मै॒ महि॒ त्विषी॑मत्सु॒कृतो॒ वि हि ख्यन् ।
वि॒ष्क॒भ्नन्त॒ स्कम्भ॑नेना॒ जनि॑त्री॒ आसी॑ना ऊ॒र्ध्वं र॑भ॒सं वि मि॑न्वन् ॥
For the father too they made a seat, great and brilliant for him. The good doers also saw him apart, holding apart with the prop the two mothers, heaven and earth; seated, they were measured swiftly upward.
3.31.13
म॒ही यदि॑ धि॒षणा॑ शि॒श्नथे॒ धात्स॑द्यो॒वृधं॑ वि॒भ्वं॑ रोद॑स्योः ।
गिरो॒ यस्मि॑न्ननव॒द्याः स॑मी॒चीर्विश्वा॒ इन्द्रा॑य॒ तवि॑षी॒रनु॑त्ताः ॥
When the great heaven and earth established a firm place for him, then for Indra, ever-growing and all-pervading, in whom are all faultless and harmonious songs, all unfailing powers arose.

अनु॑ कृ॒ष्णे वसु॑धिती जिहाते उ॒भे सूर्य॑स्य मं॒हना॒ यज॑त्रे ।
परि॒ यत्ते॑ महि॒मानं॑ वृ॒जध्यै॒ सखा॑य इन्द्र॒ काम्या॑ ऋजि॒प्याः ॥
The two, dark and treasure-bearing, are worshipful through the greatness of the sun. When your greatness spreads around for might, O Indra, beloved and straight-going companions come to you.

आ नो॑ गहि स॒ख्येभिः॑ शि॒वेभि॑र्म॒हान्म॒हीभि॑रू॒तिभिः॑ सर॒ण्यन् ॥
Slayer of Vṛtra, become lord of true songs; be life-long giver, mighty one, granter of vigor. Come to us with auspicious friendships; great Indra, come with great aids.

द्रुहो॒ वि या॑हि बहु॒ला अदे॑वीः॒ स्व॑श्च नो मघवन्त्सा॒तये॑ धाः ॥
Serving with homage like the Aṅgirasas, I make a new song for the ancient Indra. Go apart from the malicious and the many ungodly ones, O bountiful one, and establish heaven for us for our well-being.

The malicious ones have become purifying and spread out; bring us to well-being and to the far shore of these. Indra, you, the charioteer, protect us from harm; quickly make us winners of cattle.
3.31.21
अदे॑दिष्ट वृत्र॒हा गोप॑ति॒र्गा अ॒न्तः कृ॒ष्णाँ अ॑रु॒षैर्धाम॑भिर्गात् ।

In this struggle for spoils, let us call upon bountiful Indra, the most righteous, for the auspicious; hearing, fierce, for protection in battles, smiting obstacles, conquering wealths.
