6.17.1
पिबा॒ सोम॑म॒भि यमु॑ग्र॒ तर्द॑ ऊ॒र्वं गव्यं॒ महि॑ गृणा॒न इ॑न्द्र ।
वि यो धृ॑ष्णो॒ वधि॑षो वज्रहस्त॒ विश्वा॑ वृ॒त्रम॑मि॒त्रिया॒ शवो॑भिः ॥
O fierce Indra, drink the soma that you desire, and split open the cattle-pen. O bold, thunderbolt-handed Indra, praised greatly, with your might strike down Vṛtra and all the enemies.
6.17.2
स ईं॑ पाहि॒ य ऋ॑जी॒षी तरु॑त्रो॒ यः शिप्र॑वान्वृष॒भो यो म॑ती॒नाम् ।
यो गो॑त्र॒भिद्व॑ज्र॒भृद्यो ह॑रि॒ष्ठाः स इ॑न्द्र चि॒त्राँ अ॒भि तृ॑न्धि॒ वाजा॑न् ॥
Protect us, you who helpfully aid the righteous, who are a mighty bull, who cleave the enclosures and bear the thunderbolt, rich in songs of praise. O Indra, lead us toward manifold spoils.
6.17.3
ए॒वा पा॑हि प्र॒त्नथा॒ मन्द॑तु त्वा श्रु॒धि ब्रह्म॑ वावृ॒धस्वो॒त गी॒र्भिः ।
आ॒विः सूर्यं॑ कृणु॒हि पी॑पि॒हीषो॑ ज॒हि शत्रूँ॑र॒भि गा इ॑न्द्र तृन्धि ॥
Thus protect us; may he who gladdened you of old gladden you again. Hear our prayer and grow strong through our songs and praises. Reveal the sun, fill us with nourishment, strike down the enemies, and bring us, O Indra, to the cows.
6.17.4
ते त्वा॒ मदा॑ बृ॒हदि॑न्द्र स्वधाव इ॒मे पी॒ता उ॑क्षयन्त द्यु॒मन्त॑म् ।
म॒हामनू॑नं त॒वसं॒ विभू॑तिं मत्स॒रासो॑ जर्हृषन्त प्र॒साह॑म् ॥
O Indra, possessor of your own strength, these exhilarating draughts swell you greatly; these drunk, rouse the brilliant one. May these exulting juices stir you to your boundless, unequalled, mighty glory that overpowers foes.
6.17.5
येभिः॒ सूर्य॑मु॒षसं॑ मन्दसा॒नो अवा॑स॒योऽप॑ दृ॒ळ्हानि॒ दर्द्र॑त् ।
म॒हामद्रिं॒ परि॒ गा इ॑न्द्र॒ सन्तं॑ नु॒त्था अच्यु॑तं॒ सद॑स॒स्परि॒ स्वात् ॥
By that soma you caused the sun and the dawn to shine; exhilarated, you broke the firm strongholds. O Indra, drive the great rock-mountain that encircles the cows, that stands unshaken, from its seat.
6.17.6
तव॒ क्रत्वा॒ तव॒ तद्दं॒सना॑भिरा॒मासु॑ प॒क्वं शच्या॒ नि दी॑धः ।
और्णो॒र्दुर॑ उ॒स्रिया॑भ्यो॒ वि दृ॒ळ्होदू॒र्वाद्गा अ॑सृजो॒ अङ्गि॑रस्वान् ॥
By your deed, by your gifts, you set the ripe among the unripe, by your might. You opened the doors and unbarred the firm ones; with the Aṅgirasas you released the cows from the rock.
6.17.7
प॒प्राथ॒ क्षां महि॒ दंसो॒ व्यु॑र्वीमुप॒ द्यामृ॒ष्वो बृ॒हदि॑न्द्र स्तभायः ।
अधा॑रयो॒ रोद॑सी दे॒वपु॑त्रे प्र॒त्ने मा॒तरा॑ य॒ह्वी ऋ॒तस्य॑ ॥
Indra, you spread out the vast earth and propped up the sky above. Mighty one, you held both worlds, the god-begotten, ancient, great mothers, in accordance with cosmic order.
6.17.8
अध॑ त्वा॒ विश्वे॑ पु॒र इ॑न्द्र दे॒वा एकं॑ त॒वसं॑ दधिरे॒ भरा॑य ।
अदे॑वो॒ यद॒भ्यौहि॑ष्ट दे॒वान्त्स्व॑र्षाता वृणत॒ इन्द्र॒मत्र॑ ॥
Then, Indra, all the gods earlier set you, the one mighty one, for the contest. When the non-god attacked the gods, the gods in the heavenly realm chose Indra here.
6.17.9
अध॒ द्यौश्चि॑त्ते॒ अप॒ सा नु वज्रा॑द्द्वि॒तान॑मद्भि॒यसा॒ स्वस्य॑ म॒न्योः ।
अहिं॒ यदिन्द्रो॑ अ॒भ्योह॑सानं॒ नि चि॑द्वि॒श्वायुः॑ श॒यथे॑ ज॒घान॑ ॥
Then even your sky, from fear of the thunderbolt, split in two from its own rage. When Indra slew the attacking serpent, the all-living one struck it down in its lair.
6.17.10
अध॒ त्वष्टा॑ ते म॒ह उ॑ग्र॒ वज्रं॑ स॒हस्र॑भृष्टिं ववृतच्छ॒ताश्रि॑म् ।
निका॑मम॒रम॑णसं॒ येन॒ नव॑न्त॒महिं॒ सं पि॑णगृजीषिन् ॥
Then your great Tvaṣṭṛ, O fierce one, whirled the thunderbolt with a thousand spokes and a hundred edges. By it you crushed the unwilling, joyless serpent, O Ṛjīṣin.
6.17.11
वर्धा॒न्यं विश्वे॑ म॒रुतः॑ स॒जोषाः॒ पच॑च्छ॒तं म॑हि॒षाँ इ॑न्द्र॒ तुभ्य॑म् ।
पू॒षा विष्णु॒स्त्रीणि॒ सरां॑सि धावन्वृत्र॒हणं॑ मदि॒रम॒ंशुम॑स्मै ॥
Whom all the companionable Maruts, grown strong, cook a hundred buffaloes for you, O Indra. Pūṣan and Viṣṇu run toward the three pools; for the slayer of Vṛtra is the exhilarating drop of soma for him.
6.17.12
आ क्षोदो॒ महि॑ वृ॒तं न॒दीनां॒ परि॑ष्ठितमसृज ऊ॒र्मिम॒पाम् ।
तासा॒मनु॑ प्र॒वत॑ इन्द्र॒ पन्थां॒ प्रार्द॑यो॒ नीची॑र॒पसः॑ समु॒द्रम् ॥
You released the great enclosure of the rivers, bound all around, and set loose the wave of the waters. Along their flow, Indra, you drove the path forward and sent the downward-flowing waters toward the ocean.
6.17.13
ए॒वा ता विश्वा॑ चकृ॒वांस॒मिन्द्रं॑ म॒हामु॒ग्रम॑जु॒र्यं स॑हो॒दाम् ।
सु॒वीरं॑ त्वा स्वायु॒धं सु॒वज्र॒मा ब्रह्म॒ नव्य॒मव॑से ववृत्यात् ॥
Thus may a new prayer turn to you, Indra, who has done all these things, great, fierce, unaging, bearing strength, rich in good heroes, with good weapons and a good thunderbolt, for protection.
6.17.14
स नो॒ वाजा॑य॒ श्रव॑स इ॒षे च॑ रा॒ये धे॑हि द्यु॒मत॑ इन्द्र॒ विप्रा॑न् ।
भ॒रद्वा॑जे नृ॒वत॑ इन्द्र सू॒रीन्दि॒वि च॑ स्मैधि॒ पार्ये॑ न इन्द्र ॥
May he grant us shining light for strength, glory, food and wealth; grant it to the inspired seers, O Indra. With the heroic men of Bharadvāja, grant it to the wise leaders, O Indra; be with us in heaven, O Indra, and on the far shore.
6.17.15
अ॒या वाजं॑ दे॒वहि॑तं सनेम ।
मदे॑म श॒तहि॑माः सु॒वीराः॑ ॥
By this, may we win the strength granted by the gods; living a hundred years, rich in good heroes, may we rejoice.
