4.21.1
आ या॒त्विन्द्रोऽव॑स॒ उप॑ न इ॒ह स्तु॒तः स॑ध॒माद॑स्तु॒ शूरः॑ ।
वा॒वृ॒धा॒नस्तवि॑षी॒र्यस्य॑ पू॒र्वीर्द्यौर्न क्ष॒त्रम॒भिभू॑ति॒ पुष्या॑त् ॥
May Indra come here to us for help; praised, may he be a companion at the feast and a hero. May his many growing powers nourish our dominion and victory as heaven does.
4.21.2
तस्येदि॒ह स्त॑वथ॒ वृष्ण्या॑नि तुविद्यु॒म्नस्य॑ तुवि॒राध॑सो॒ नॄन् ।
यस्य॒ क्रतु॑र्विद॒थ्यो॑ न स॒म्राट्सा॒ह्वान्तरु॑त्रो अ॒भ्यस्ति॑ कृ॒ष्टीः ॥
For his heroic deeds, praise him here; he is of abundant splendour and abundant wealth. His resolve, worthy of sacrifice, is like a sovereign's; as conqueror and deliverer he holds sway over all peoples.
4.21.3
आ या॒त्विन्द्रो॑ दि॒व आ पृ॑थि॒व्या म॒क्षू स॑मु॒द्रादु॒त वा॒ पुरी॑षात् ।
स्व॑र्णरा॒दव॑से नो म॒रुत्वा॑न्परा॒वतो॑ वा॒ सद॑नादृ॒तस्य॑ ॥
May Indra come swiftly from heaven and from earth, or from the ocean or the rush of waters; from the sun-realm with the Maruts for our help, or from afar, from the seat of cosmic order.
4.21.4
स्थू॒रस्य॑ रा॒यो बृ॑ह॒तो य ईशे॒ तमु॑ ष्टवाम वि॒दथे॒ष्विन्द्र॑म् ।
यो वा॒युना॒ जय॑ति॒ गोम॑तीषु॒ प्र धृ॑ष्णु॒या नय॑ति॒ वस्यो॒ अच्छ॑ ॥
Let us surely praise that Indra, lord of great and vast wealth, in the contests. He is the one who, with the wind, conquers in cow-rich contests, and boldly leads the wealthy one forth toward the goal.
4.21.5
उप॒ यो नमो॒ नम॑सि स्तभा॒यन्निय॑र्ति॒ वाचं॑ ज॒नय॒न्यज॑ध्यै ।
ऋ॒ञ्ज॒सा॒नः पु॑रु॒वार॑ उ॒क्थैरेन्द्रं॑ कृण्वीत॒ सद॑नेषु॒ होता॑ ॥
He who, near us, makes homage firm with homage, and stirs speech for worship—may he, inspired, rich in many praises, with hymns establish Indra as the offerer-priest in the seats.
4.21.6
धि॒षा यदि॑ धिष॒ण्यन्तः॑ सर॒ण्यान्त्सद॑न्तो॒ अद्रि॑मौशि॒जस्य॒ गोहे॑ ।
आ दु॒रोषाः॑ पा॒स्त्यस्य॒ होता॒ यो नो॑ म॒हान्त्सं॒वर॑णेषु॒ वह्निः॑ ॥
If, with prayer, those who pray sit down near the pressing-stone in the cattle-pen of Auśija, may Duroṣa come hither for us — he is the priest, great, the carrier of oblations in the gatherings, who bears the offering for us.
4.21.7
स॒त्रा यदीं॑ भार्व॒रस्य॒ वृष्णः॒ सिष॑क्ति॒ शुष्म॑ स्तुव॒ते भरा॑य ।
गुहा॒ यदी॑मौशि॒जस्य॒ गोहे॒ प्र यद्धि॒ये प्राय॑से॒ मदा॑य ॥
Truly, when the bull Indra fills the one who praises him with the strength of Bhārvara, for nourishment; and when in secret he advances to Auśija's cow-pen, for thought and exhilaration.
4.21.8
वि यद्वरां॑सि॒ पर्व॑तस्य वृ॒ण्वे पयो॑भिर्जि॒न्वे अ॒पां जवां॑सि ।
वि॒दद्गौ॒रस्य॑ गव॒यस्य॒ गोहे॒ यदी॒ वाजा॑य सु॒ध्यो॑ वह॑न्ति ॥
When I open the barriers of the mountain and with milk conquer the rushing currents of the waters, he found it in the cow-pen of Gaura and Gavaya; or when they bring the pressed soma for strength.
4.21.9
भ॒द्रा ते॒ हस्ता॒ सुकृ॑तो॒त पा॒णी प्र॑य॒न्तारा॑ स्तुव॒ते राध॑ इन्द्र ।
का ते॒ निष॑त्तिः॒ किमु॒ नो म॑मत्सि॒ किं नोदु॑दु हर्षसे॒ दात॒वा उ॑ ॥
Your hands are auspicious and well-made, both hands bringing forth gifts; they give wealth to the one who praises you, O Indra. Where is your abiding place? Do you not rejoice in us? Do you not exult on high to give?
4.21.10
ए॒वा वस्व॒ इन्द्रः॑ स॒त्यः स॒म्राड्हन्ता॑ वृ॒त्रं वरि॑वः पू॒रवे॑ कः ।
पुरु॑ष्टुत॒ क्रत्वा॑ नः शग्धि रा॒यो भ॑क्षी॒य तेऽव॑सो॒ दैव्य॑स्य ॥
Thus Indra, the true universal sovereign, slayer of Vṛtra, O giver of wide shelter, made wealth for Pūru. O much-invoked one, grant us riches by wisdom; O divine helper, may I enjoy your goods.
4.21.11
नू ष्टु॒त इ॑न्द्र॒ नू गृ॑णा॒न इषं॑ जरि॒त्रे न॒द्यो॑ न पी॑पेः ।
अका॑रि ते हरिवो॒ ब्रह्म॒ नव्यं॑ धि॒या स्या॑म र॒थ्यः॑ सदा॒साः ॥
Now praised, now praising, O Indra, swell the singer's food as rivers swell. O lord of the bays, a new prayer has been made for you; by thought may we be chariot-riders, ever bountiful.
