4.23.1
क॒था म॒हाम॑वृध॒त्कस्य॒ होतु॑र्य॒ज्ञं जु॑षा॒णो अ॒भि सोम॒मूधः॑ ।
पिब॑न्नुशा॒नो जु॒षमा॑णो॒ अन्धो॑ वव॒क्ष ऋ॒ष्वः शु॑च॒ते धना॑य ॥
How did the great one grow strong? Delighting in whose priest's sacrifice did he turn toward the soma's udder? Drinking soma, desiring, taking the drink, the vigorous one pressed forward for bright wealth.
4.23.2
को अ॑स्य वी॒रः स॑ध॒माद॑माप॒ समा॑नंश सुम॒तिभिः॒ को अ॑स्य ।
कद॑स्य चि॒त्रं चि॑किते॒ कदू॒ती वृ॒धे भु॑वच्छशमा॒नस्य॒ यज्योः॑ ॥
Who is his hero, the feast-companion, who attained him? Who reached him with good favors? When did his wondrous form appear? When, by his help, did he become the growth of the worshipper who strives?
4.23.3
क॒था शृ॑णोति हू॒यमा॑न॒मिन्द्रः॑ क॒था शृ॒ण्वन्नव॑सामस्य वेद ।
का अ॑स्य पू॒र्वीरुप॑मातयो ह क॒थैन॑माहुः॒ पपु॑रिं जरि॒त्रे ॥
How does Indra hear when he is called? Hearing, how does he know his help? What are his former likenesses? And how do they call him the fat (well-fed) one for the singer?
4.23.4
क॒था स॒बाधः॑ शशमा॒नो अ॑स्य॒ नश॑द॒भि द्रवि॑णं॒ दीध्या॑नः ।
दे॒वो भु॑व॒न्नवे॑दा म ऋ॒तानां॒ नमो॑ जगृ॒भ्वाँ अ॒भि यज्जुजो॑षत् ॥
How might the one who praises him, troubled, not be destroyed? May he become the god shining toward wealth. May he become the knower of my sacred truths. When he takes up the homage, may he be pleased.
4.23.5
क॒था कद॒स्या उ॒षसो॒ व्यु॑ष्टौ दे॒वो मर्त॑स्य स॒ख्यं जु॑जोष ।
क॒था कद॑स्य स॒ख्यं सखि॑भ्यो॒ ये अ॑स्मि॒न्कामं॑ सु॒युजं॑ तत॒स्रे ॥
When, at the dawning of that Dawn, did the god enjoy a mortal's friendship? When is his friendship for the friends who spread out the well-yoked desire in him?
4.23.6
किमादम॑त्रं स॒ख्यं सखि॑भ्यः क॒दा नु ते॑ भ्रा॒त्रं प्र ब्र॑वाम ।
श्रि॒ये सु॒दृशो॒ वपु॑रस्य॒ सर्गाः॒ स्व॑र्ण चि॒त्रत॑ममिष॒ आ गोः ॥
Then when shall we proclaim the friendship of friends as brotherhood to you? For the splendor of the clear-seeing one his form flows forth like the sun; I desire the most brilliant stream of the cows (light).
4.23.7
द्रुहं॒ जिघां॑सन्ध्व॒रस॑मनि॒न्द्रां तेति॑क्ते ति॒ग्मा तु॒जसे॒ अनी॑का ।
ऋ॒णा चि॒द्यत्र॑ ऋण॒या न॑ उ॒ग्रो दू॒रे अज्ञा॑ता उ॒षसो॑ बबा॒धे ॥
Wishing to smite the malicious one who would harm the sacrifice, and him who does not honor Indra, Indra whets his sharp weapons for strength; where the fierce Indra drove back even the distant, unknown dawns.
4.23.8
ऋ॒तस्य॒ हि शु॒रुधः॒ सन्ति॑ पू॒र्वीर्ऋ॒तस्य॑ धी॒तिर्वृ॑जि॒नानि॑ हन्ति ।
ऋ॒तस्य॒ श्लोको॑ बधि॒रा त॑तर्द॒ कर्णा॑ बुधा॒नः शु॒चमा॑न आ॒योः ॥
Indeed, there are many obedient streams of the cosmic order (ṛta); the insight of ṛta destroys crookedness. The hymn of ṛta opens the deaf ears, for the wakeful, shining mortal.
4.23.9
ऋ॒तस्य॑ दृ॒ळ्हा ध॒रुणा॑नि सन्ति पु॒रूणि॑ च॒न्द्रा वपु॑षे॒ वपूं॑षि ।
ऋ॒तेन॑ दी॒र्घमि॑षणन्त॒ पृक्ष॑ ऋ॒तेन॒ गाव॑ ऋ॒तमा वि॑वेशुः ॥
The firm supports of the cosmic order (ṛta) are many, and the shining forms for beauty are many. By ṛta they let go the long paths; by ṛta the cows have entered into ṛta.
4.23.10
ऋ॒तं ये॑मा॒न ऋ॒तमिद्व॑नोति ऋ॒तस्य॒ शुष्म॑स्तुर॒या उ॑ ग॒व्युः ।
ऋ॒ताय॑ पृ॒थ्वी ब॑हु॒ले ग॑भी॒रे ऋ॒ताय॑ धे॒नू प॑र॒मे दु॑हाते ॥
He who holds the cosmic order (ṛta) serves ṛta indeed; the force of ṛta, the swift one seeking cows. For ṛta, the wide, deep, vast earth and sky; for ṛta, the two supreme milch-cows pour forth their milk.
4.23.11
नू ष्टु॒त इ॑न्द्र॒ नू गृ॑णा॒न इषं॑ जरि॒त्रे न॒द्यो॑ न पी॑पेः ।
अका॑रि ते हरिवो॒ ब्रह्म॒ नव्यं॑ धि॒या स्या॑म र॒थ्यः॑ सदा॒साः ॥
Now, O Indra, praised and now lauded, fill the singer with food, as rivers swell. O possessor of bay horses, a new prayer has been made for you; by thought may we be charioteers and ever-bountiful.
