3.53.1
इन्द्रा॑पर्वता बृह॒ता रथे॑न वा॒मीरिष॒ आ व॑हतं सु॒वीराः॑ ।
वी॒तं ह॒व्यान्य॑ध्व॒रेषु॑ देवा॒ वर्धे॑थां गी॒र्भिरिळ॑या॒ मद॑न्ता ॥
O Indra and Parvata, bring nourishing food here by your mighty chariot, along with good heroes. O gods, accept the oblations at the sacrifices and grow strong, rejoicing in our songs and in the offering of Ilā.
3.53.2
तिष्ठा॒ सु कं॑ मघव॒न्मा परा॑ गाः॒ सोम॑स्य॒ नु त्वा॒ सुषु॑तस्य यक्षि ।
पि॒तुर्न पु॒त्रः सिच॒मा र॑भे त॒ इन्द्र॒ स्वादि॑ष्ठया गि॒रा श॑चीवः ॥
O bounteous Indra, stand firm and do not go far away. For the well-pressed soma I now worship you. O Indra, O mighty one, as a son clasps his father, so I take hold of you with the sweetest of songs.
3.53.3
शंसा॑वाध्वर्यो॒ प्रति॑ मे गृणी॒हीन्द्रा॑य॒ वाहः॑ कृणवाव॒ जुष्ट॑म् ।
एदं ब॒र्हिर्यज॑मानस्य सी॒दाथा॑ च भूदु॒क्थमिन्द्रा॑य श॒स्तम् ॥
O adhvaryu, let us two recite; in return, extol me. Let us perform a pleasing service for Indra. Sit upon this sacred grass of the sacrificer; and let a praiseworthy hymn be recited for Indra.
3.53.4
जा॒येदस्तं॑ मघव॒न्त्सेदु॒ योनि॒स्तदित्त्वा॑ यु॒क्ता हर॑यो वहन्तु ।
य॒दा क॒दा च॑ सु॒नवा॑म॒ सोम॑म॒ग्निष्ट्वा॑ दू॒तो ध॑न्वा॒त्यच्छ॑ ॥
O bounteous Indra, the wife is indeed the home, and she is the place of rest. Let the bay horses yoked by her carry you here. Whenever we press the soma, may Agni, as messenger, run toward you.
3.53.5
परा॑ याहि मघव॒न्ना च॑ या॒हीन्द्र॑ भ्रातरुभ॒यत्रा॑ ते॒ अर्थ॑म् ।
यत्रा॒ रथ॑स्य बृह॒तो नि॒धानं॑ वि॒मोच॑नं वा॒जिनो॒ रास॑भस्य ॥
O bounteous one, go far away and also come here. O Indra, O brother, your purpose lies in both places. Go to where the chariot has its great resting-place and where the swift he-ass is unyoked.
3.53.6
अपाः॒ सोम॒मस्त॑मिन्द्र॒ प्र या॑हि कल्या॒णीर्जा॒या सु॒रणं॑ गृ॒हे ते॑ ।
यत्रा॒ रथ॑स्य बृह॒तो नि॒धानं॑ वि॒मोच॑नं वा॒जिनो॒ दक्षि॑णावत् ॥
O Indra, you have drunk the soma; go forward to your home. Your beautiful wife is in the house with good wealth. Come bountifully to where the chariot has its great resting-place and where the swift horses are unyoked.
3.53.7
इ॒मे भो॒जा अङ्गि॑रसो॒ विरू॑पा दि॒वस्पु॒त्रासो॒ असु॑रस्य वी॒राः ।
वि॒श्वामि॑त्राय॒ दद॑तो म॒घानि॑ सहस्रसा॒वे प्र ति॑रन्त॒ आयुः॑ ॥
These Aṅgirasas of varied forms, sons of heaven, heroes of the Asura, while giving wealth to Viśvāmitra, extend their life in the thousand-giving one.
3.53.8
रू॒पंरू॑पं म॒घवा॑ बोभवीति मा॒याः कृ॑ण्वा॒नस्त॒न्वं॑ परि॒ स्वाम् ।
त्रिर्यद्दि॒वः परि॑ मुहू॒र्तमागा॒त्स्वैर्मन्त्रै॒रनृ॑तुपा ऋ॒तावा॑ ॥
Maghavan becomes form after form, creating illusions around his own body; when he came thrice from heaven in a moment, with his own hymns, he, the truthful possessor of cosmic order.
3.53.9
म॒हाँ ऋषि॑र्देव॒जा दे॒वजू॒तोऽस्त॑भ्ना॒त्सिन्धु॑मर्ण॒वं नृ॒चक्षाः॑ ।
वि॒श्वामि॑त्रो॒ यदव॑हत्सु॒दास॒मप्रि॑यायत कुशि॒केभि॒रिन्द्रः॑ ॥
The great seer, born of the gods, invoked by the gods, watching over men, held up the river and the ocean; when Viśvāmitra brought Sudās, Indra became gracious to him along with the Kuśikas.
3.53.10
हं॒सा इ॑व कृणुथ॒ श्लोक॒मद्रि॑भि॒र्मद॑न्तो गी॒र्भिर॑ध्व॒रे सु॒ते सचा॑ ।
दे॒वेभि॑र्विप्रा ऋषयो नृचक्षसो॒ वि पि॑बध्वं कुशिकाः सो॒म्यं मधु॑ ॥
Like swans, make your sound with the pressing stones, exulting with songs, together at the sacrifice when the Soma is pressed; with the gods, O inspired seers, O men-seeing ones, O Kuśikas, drink the sweet Soma.
3.53.11
उप॒ प्रेत॑ कुशिकाश्चे॒तय॑ध्व॒मश्वं॑ रा॒ये प्र मु॑ञ्चता सु॒दासः॑ ।
राजा॑ वृ॒त्रं ज॑ङ्घन॒त्प्रागपा॒गुद॒गथा॑ यजाते॒ वर॒ आ पृ॑थि॒व्याः ॥
Go forward, O Kuśikas, take heed; release the horse of Sudās for wealth. The king struck down Vṛtra; eastward, westward, northward, and then at the choice place of the earth they sacrifice.
3.53.12
य इ॒मे रोद॑सी उ॒भे अ॒हमिन्द्र॒मतु॑ष्टवम् ।
वि॒श्वामि॑त्रस्य रक्षति॒ ब्रह्मे॒दं भार॑तं॒ जन॑म् ॥
I who praised Indra in these two worlds — the sacred formula protects Viśvāmitra; may this prayer protect the Bharata people.
3.53.13
वि॒श्वामि॑त्रा अरासत॒ ब्रह्मेन्द्रा॑य व॒ज्रिणे॑ ।
कर॒दिन्नः॑ सु॒राध॑सः ॥
The Viśvāmitras offered homage to Indra, the thunderbolt-wielder, with a sacred prayer. May he make our soma offerings abundant.
3.53.14
किं ते॑ कृण्वन्ति॒ कीक॑टेषु॒ गावो॒ नाशिरं॑ दु॒ह्रे न त॑पन्ति घ॒र्मम् ।
आ नो॑ भर॒ प्रम॑गन्दस्य॒ वेदो॑ नैचाशा॒खं म॑घवन्रन्धया नः ॥
What will cows do for you among the Kīkaṭas? They neither yield milk from their udders nor warm the hot offering. O bounteous Indra, bring here the wealth of Pramaganda and of Naicāśākha, and open it for us.
3.53.15
स॒स॒र्प॒रीरम॑तिं॒ बाध॑माना बृ॒हन्मि॑माय ज॒मद॑ग्निदत्ता ।
आ सूर्य॑स्य दुहि॒ता त॑तान॒ श्रवो॑ दे॒वेष्व॒मृत॑मजु॒र्यम् ॥
Driving away hostility, she comes creeping forth; given by Jamadagni, she shapes greatly. The daughter of the Sun spread her fame among the gods, immortal and ageless.
3.53.16
स॒स॒र्प॒रीर॑भर॒त्तूय॑मे॒भ्योऽधि॒ श्रवः॒ पाञ्च॑जन्यासु कृ॒ष्टिषु॑ ।
सा प॒क्ष्या॑ नव्य॒मायु॒र्दधा॑ना॒ यां मे॑ पलस्तिजमद॒ग्नयो॑ द॒दुः ॥
Creeping forth swiftly, she brought fame to these among the five tribes and among the peoples. She, winged and bearing new life, whom the Palastis and the Jamadagnis gave to me.
3.53.17
स्थि॒रौ गावौ॑ भवतां वी॒ळुरक्षो॒ मेषा वि व॑र्हि॒ मा यु॒गं वि शा॑रि ।
इन्द्रः॑ पात॒ल्ये॑ ददतां॒ शरी॑तो॒ररि॑ष्टनेमे अ॒भि नः॑ सचस्व ॥
May the two cows be steady, the axle firm, and the yoke-pin not slip away; may the yoke not come apart. May Indra fix the two wheel-hubs; O Ariṣṭanemi, be with us.
3.53.18
बलं॑ धेहि त॒नूषु॑ नो॒ बल॑मिन्द्रान॒ळुत्सु॑ नः ।
बलं॑ तो॒काय॒ तन॑याय जी॒वसे॒ त्वं हि ब॑ल॒दा असि॑ ॥
Place strength in our bodies, place strength in our bulls, O Indra. Give strength for our offspring and descendants to live, for you indeed are the giver of strength.
3.53.19
अ॒भि व्य॑यस्व खदि॒रस्य॒ सार॒मोजो॑ धेहि स्पन्द॒ने शिं॒शपा॑याम् ।
अक्ष॑ वीळो वीळित वी॒ळय॑स्व॒ मा यामा॑द॒स्मादव॑ जीहिपो नः ॥
Hurl with the essence of the khadira tree; set strength in the quivering, in the śiṁśapā tree. O axle, O strong one, stiffen yourself; do not cast us away from this journey.
3.53.20
अ॒यम॒स्मान्वन॒स्पति॒र्मा च॒ हा मा च॑ रीरिषत् ।
स्व॒स्त्या गृ॒हेभ्य॒ आव॒सा आ वि॒मोच॑नात् ॥
May this lord of trees neither strike us nor harm us. Let well-being come to us from the houses, for protection; let well-being come to us up to release.
3.53.21
इन्द्रो॒तिभि॑र्बहु॒लाभि॑र्नो अ॒द्य या॑च्छ्रे॒ष्ठाभि॑र्मघवञ्च्छूर जिन्व ।
यो नो॒ द्वेष्ट्यध॑रः॒ सस्प॑दीष्ट॒ यमु॑ द्वि॒ष्मस्तमु॑ प्रा॒णो ज॑हातु ॥
O Indra, today impel us with many aids, with the best aids; O bountiful hero, let the one who hates us fall low, and let the breath itself abandon the one we hate.
3.53.22
प॒र॒शुं चि॒द्वि त॑पति शिम्ब॒लं चि॒द्वि वृ॑श्चति ।
उ॒खा चि॑दिन्द्र॒ येष॑न्ती॒ प्रय॑स्ता॒ फेन॑मस्यति ॥
He heats even the axe; he cuts apart even the silk-cotton tree. O Indra, even the pot, when it boils and is lifted up, throws off its foam.
3.53.23
न साय॑कस्य चिकिते जनासो लो॒धं न॑यन्ति॒ पशु॒ मन्य॑मानाः ।
नावा॑जिनं वा॒जिना॑ हासयन्ति॒ न ग॑र्द॒भं पु॒रो अश्वा॑न्नयन्ति ॥
The arrow is not known, O people; men lead the lure, thinking it a beast. Those with horses do not make the horseless laugh, nor do they lead the donkey before the horses.
3.53.24
इ॒म इ॑न्द्र भर॒तस्य॑ पु॒त्रा अ॑पपि॒त्वं चि॑कितु॒र्न प्र॑पि॒त्वम् ।
हि॒न्वन्त्यश्व॒मर॑णं॒ न नित्यं॒ ज्या॑वाजं॒ परि॑ णयन्त्या॒जौ ॥
O Indra, these are the sons of Bharata; they know the state of being safe, not the state of being without a protector. They urge on the horse that stands still yet is always swift in the race, leading it round in the contest.
