4.19.1
ए॒वा त्वामि॑न्द्र वज्रि॒न्नत्र॒ विश्वे॑ दे॒वासः॑ सु॒हवा॑स॒ ऊमाः॑ ।
म॒हामु॒भे रोद॑सी वृ॒द्धमृ॒ष्वं निरेक॒मिद्वृ॑णते वृत्र॒हत्ये॑ ॥
Thus, O Indra, wielder of the thunderbolt, here all the gods, easily invoked and helpful, choose you alone, the great and mighty bull of both world-halves, for the battle against Vṛtra.
4.19.2
अवा॑सृजन्त॒ जिव्र॑यो॒ न दे॒वा भुवः॑ स॒म्राळि॑न्द्र स॒त्ययो॑निः ।
अह॒न्नहिं॑ परि॒शया॑न॒मर्णः॒ प्र व॑र्त॒नीर॑रदो वि॒श्वधे॑नाः ॥
As the gods were born, the waters were released; O Indra, you became sovereign and the source of truth. Slaying the serpent lying in the waters, you opened the channels of the all-nourishing rivers.
4.19.3
अतृ॑प्णुवन्तं॒ विय॑तमबु॒ध्यमबु॑ध्यमानं सुषुपा॒णमि॑न्द्र ।
स॒प्त प्रति॑ प्र॒वत॑ आ॒शया॑न॒महिं॒ वज्रे॑ण॒ वि रि॑णा अप॒र्वन् ॥
O Indra, the unsatisfied serpent, stretched out, unaware, not conscious, sleeping; lying prone toward the seven streams, you pierced it with the thunderbolt at its joints.
4.19.4
अक्षो॑दय॒च्छव॑सा॒ क्षाम॑ बु॒ध्नं वार्ण वात॒स्तवि॑षीभि॒रिन्द्रः॑ ।
दृ॒ळ्हान्यौ॑भ्नादु॒शमा॑न॒ ओजोऽवा॑भिनत्क॒कुभः॒ पर्व॑तानाम् ॥
Indra, by his might, shook the base of the earth like the wind with its powers; striving with strength, he split the firm things and broke apart the summits of the mountains.
4.19.5
अ॒भि प्र द॑द्रु॒र्जन॑यो॒ न गर्भं॒ रथा॑ इव॒ प्र य॑युः सा॒कमद्र॑यः ।
अत॑र्पयो वि॒सृत॑ उ॒ब्ज ऊ॒र्मीन्त्वं वृ॒ताँ अ॑रिणा इन्द्र॒ सिन्धू॑न् ॥
As women in labor rush toward the womb and chariots go forth together, so the stones went together; you raised the spreading waves and freed the obstructers, O Indra, to let the rivers flow.
4.19.6
त्वं म॒हीम॒वनिं॑ वि॒श्वधे॑नां तु॒र्वीत॑ये व॒य्या॑य॒ क्षर॑न्तीम् ।
अर॑मयो॒ नम॒सैज॒दर्णः॑ सुतर॒णाँ अ॑कृणोरिन्द्र॒ सिन्धू॑न् ॥
You gladdened the great, all-nourishing earth with flowing water for Turvīti and Vayya; you delighted the water moving with reverence. O Indra, you made the rivers easy to cross.
4.19.7
प्राग्रुवो॑ नभ॒न्वो॑ न वक्वा॑ ध्व॒स्रा अ॑पिन्वद्युव॒तीर्ऋ॑त॒ज्ञाः ।
धन्वा॒न्यज्राँ॑ अपृणक्तृषा॒णाँ अधो॒गिन्द्र॑ स्त॒र्यो॑ दंसु॑पत्नीः ॥
As if filling the bent-backed, flowing, young waters who know the cosmic order, Indra satisfied the waterless deserts and open plains, and milked the barren cows for the bountiful mistresses.
4.19.8
पू॒र्वीरु॒षसः॑ श॒रद॑श्च गू॒र्ता वृ॒त्रं ज॑घ॒न्वाँ अ॑सृज॒द्वि सिन्धू॑न् ।
परि॑ष्ठिता अतृणद्बद्बधा॒नाः सी॒रा इन्द्रः॒ स्रवि॑तवे पृथि॒व्या ॥
Having slain Vṛtra, Indra released the ancient dawns and autumns and the moving waters; he split apart the standing rivers and opened the channels of the earth for them to flow.
4.19.9
व॒म्रीभिः॑ पु॒त्रम॒ग्रुवो॑ अदा॒नं नि॒वेश॑नाद्धरिव॒ आ ज॑भर्थ ।
व्य॑न्धो अ॑ख्य॒दहि॑माददा॒नो निर्भू॑दुख॒च्छित्सम॑रन्त॒ पर्व॑ ॥
O bay-horsed one, with the cow's horns you brought the calf from the pen and nurtured it; darkness broke open as you seized the serpent, and the pot-breaker came forth, and the limbs moved together.
4.19.10
प्र ते॒ पूर्वा॑णि॒ कर॑णानि विप्रावि॒द्वाँ आ॑ह वि॒दुषे॒ करां॑सि ।
यथा॑यथा॒ वृष्ण्या॑नि॒ स्वगू॒र्तापां॑सि राज॒न्नर्यावि॑वेषीः ॥
Your former deeds, O wise one, the one who knows has spoken, declaring the works to the knower; as many manly, self-accomplished deeds as there were, O king, with them you entered among men.
4.19.11
नू ष्टु॒त इ॑न्द्र॒ नू गृ॑णा॒न इषं॑ जरि॒त्रे न॒द्यो॑ न पी॑पेः ।
अका॑रि ते हरिवो॒ ब्रह्म॒ नव्यं॑ धि॒या स्या॑म र॒थ्यः॑ सदा॒साः ॥
Now praised, O Indra, and now praising, fill the singer with nourishment as the rivers fill; O bay-horsed one, a new sacred hymn has been made for you; with understanding may we be charioteers and bountiful lords of the offering.
