4.42.1
मम॑ द्वि॒ता रा॒ष्ट्रं क्ष॒त्रिय॑स्य वि॒श्वायो॒र्विश्वे॑ अ॒मृता॒ यथा॑ नः ।
क्रतुं॑ सचन्ते॒ वरु॑णस्य दे॒वा राजा॑मि कृ॒ष्टेरु॑प॒मस्य॑ व॒व्रेः ॥
My twofold rule belongs to the warrior; for Viśāyu, all the immortal gods are like us. The gods cling to the purpose of Varuṇa; I rule over that near and wise one of the people.
4.42.2
अ॒हं राजा॒ वरु॑णो॒ मह्यं॒ तानि॑ असु॒र्या॑णि प्रथ॒मा धा॑रयन्त ।
क्रतुं॑ सचन्ते॒ वरु॑णस्य दे॒वा राजा॑मि कृ॒ष्टेरु॑प॒मस्य॑ व॒व्रेः ॥
I am King Varuṇa; for me those first powers were upheld. The gods cling to the purpose of Varuṇa; I rule over that near and wise one of the people.
4.42.3
अ॒हमिन्द्रो॒ वरु॑ण॒स्ते म॑हि॒त्वोर्वी ग॑भी॒रे रज॑सी सु॒मेके॑ ।
त्वष्टे॑व॒ विश्वा॒ भुव॑नानि वि॒द्वान्त्समै॑रयं॒ रोद॑सी धा॒रयं॑ च ॥
I am Indra and Varuṇa; by my greatness I joined those wide, deep, fair-dwelling two worlds. Knowing all beings like Tvaṣṭar, I set the two worlds together in motion and held them.
4.42.4
अ॒हम॒पो अ॑पिन्वमु॒क्षमा॑णा धा॒रयं॒ दिवं॒ सद॑न ऋ॒तस्य॑ ।
ऋ॒तेन॑ पु॒त्रो अदि॑तेर्ऋ॒तावो॒त त्रि॒धातु॑ प्रथय॒द्वि भूम॑ ॥
I released the waters and, holding up heaven in the seat of cosmic order, I held it aloft. By cosmic order, the son of Aditi, possessing cosmic order, threefold, spreads out and extends vastness.
4.42.5
मां नरः॒ स्वश्वा॑ वा॒जय॑न्तो॒ मां वृ॒ताः स॒मर॑णे हवन्ते ।
कृ॒णोम्या॒जिं म॒घवा॒हमिन्द्र॒ इय॑र्मि रे॒णुम॒भिभू॑त्योजाः ॥
Men with good horses, desiring spoils, call upon me; chosen warriors summon me in battle. I make the field of battle; I, bountiful Indra, stir up the dust, having the power to overcome.
4.42.6
अ॒हं ता विश्वा॑ चकरं॒ नकि॑र्मा॒ दैव्यं॒ सहो॑ वरते॒ अप्र॑तीतम् ।
यन्मा॒ सोमा॑सो म॒मद॒न्यदु॒क्थोभे भ॑येते॒ रज॑सी अपा॒रे ॥
I have done all those deeds; no one can stop me, nor can anyone overcome my divine strength unopposed. When the soma pressings exhilarate me and the songs of praise extol me, both boundless worlds fear me.
4.42.7
वि॒दुष्टे॒ विश्वा॒ भुव॑नानि॒ तस्य॒ ता प्र ब्र॑वीषि॒ वरु॑णाय वेधः ।
त्वं वृ॒त्राणि॑ शृण्विषे जघ॒न्वान्त्वं वृ॒ताँ अ॑रिणा इन्द्र॒ सिन्धू॑न् ॥
O wise one, all beings know his deeds; these you declare to Varuna. O Indra, having slain the Vṛtras you became renowned; you released the rivers that were held back.
4.42.8
अ॒स्माक॒मत्र॑ पि॒तर॒स्त आ॑सन्त्स॒प्त ऋष॑यो दौर्ग॒हे ब॒ध्यमा॑ने ।
त आय॑जन्त त्र॒सद॑स्युमस्या॒ इन्द्रं॒ न वृ॑त्र॒तुर॑मर्धदे॒वम् ॥
Our fathers were here, the seven seers, when they were bound in the stronghold. They worshipped this Trasadasyu, as one would Indra, the half-divine slayer of Vṛtra.
4.42.9
पु॒रु॒कुत्सा॑नी॒ हि वा॒मदा॑शद्ह॒व्येभि॑रिन्द्रावरुणा॒ नमो॑भिः ।
अथा॒ राजा॑नं त्र॒सद॑स्युमस्या वृत्र॒हणं॑ ददथुरर्धदे॒वम् ॥
Indeed Purukutsānī honored you two, O Indra and Varuṇa, with oblations and homage. Then you gave king Trasadasyu, for this one's sake, the rank of the Vṛtra-slaying half-god.
4.42.10
रा॒या व॒यं स॑स॒वांसो॑ मदेम ह॒व्येन॑ दे॒वा यव॑सेन॒ गावः॑ ।
तां धे॒नुमि॑न्द्रावरुणा यु॒वं नो॑ वि॒श्वाहा॑ धत्त॒मन॑पस्फुरन्तीम् ॥
Made rich with wealth, may we rejoice; with oblation and fodder, O gods, may the cows be ours. That milch-cow, O Indra and Varuṇa, grant us always — the one that never fails.
