6.18.1
तमु॑ ष्टुहि॒ यो अ॒भिभू॑त्योजा व॒न्वन्नवा॑तः पुरुहू॒त इन्द्रः॑ ।
अषा॑ळ्हमु॒ग्रं सह॑मानमा॒भिर्गी॒र्भिर्व॑र्ध वृष॒भं च॑र्षणी॒नाम् ॥
Praise that Indra, whose power is unconquered, who roams unhindered and is called upon by many. Exalt with these songs the unassailable, fierce, victorious bull of the people.
6.18.2
स यु॒ध्मः सत्वा॑ खज॒कृत्स॒मद्वा॑ तुविम्र॒क्षो न॑दनु॒माँ ऋ॑जी॒षी ।
बृ॒हद्रे॑णु॒श्च्यव॑नो॒ मानु॑षीणा॒मेकः॑ कृष्टी॒नाम॑भवत्स॒हावा॑ ॥
He is the warrior, the mighty breaker of fortresses, lord of spoil, slayer of foes, the roaring one who rules over what is desired. Cyavana of broad wealth became alone the mighty one among men and among the peoples.
6.18.3
त्वं ह॒ नु त्यद॑दमायो॒ दस्यूँ॒रेकः॑ कृ॒ष्टीर॑वनो॒रार्या॑य ।
अस्ति॑ स्वि॒न्नु वी॒र्यं॑ तत्त॑ इन्द्र॒ न स्वि॑दस्ति॒ तदृ॑तु॒था वि वो॑चः ॥
Surely you alone subdued those dasyus, and protected the peoples for the Arya. Is that heroic might still here? O Indra, is that might not here? Declare it in due season.
6.18.4
सदिद्धि ते॑ तुविजा॒तस्य॒ मन्ये॒ सहः॑ सहिष्ठ तुर॒तस्तु॒रस्य॑ ।
उ॒ग्रमु॒ग्रस्य॑ त॒वस॒स्तवी॒योऽर॑ध्रस्य रध्र॒तुरो॑ बभूव ॥
Truly, I think your strength, O most mighty one, of the one born in many births, is the greater. Fiercer than the fierce, more mighty than the mighty, you have become swifter than the swift for the unhindered one.
6.18.5
तन्नः॑ प्र॒त्नं स॒ख्यम॑स्तु यु॒ष्मे इ॒त्था वद॑द्भिर्व॒लमङ्गि॑रोभिः ।
हन्न॑च्युतच्युद्दस्मे॒षय॑न्तमृ॒णोः पुरो॒ वि दुरो॑ अस्य॒ विश्वाः॑ ॥
May that ancient friendship be ours with you, as the Angirases, speaking thus, struck down Vala. O unfailing, wondrous one, desiring battle, strike him down; you opened all his fortresses and gates.
6.18.6
स हि धी॒भिर्हव्यो॒ अस्त्यु॒ग्र ई॑शान॒कृन्म॑ह॒ति वृ॑त्र॒तूर्ये॑ ।
स तो॒कसा॑ता॒ तन॑ये॒ स व॒ज्री वि॑तन्त॒साय्यो॑ अभवत्स॒मत्सु॑ ॥
He, indeed, is to be invoked with prayers, the fierce one, who brings about great deeds in the battle for Vr̥tra. He, in the winning of offspring, in progeny; he, the thunderbolt-wielder, praised by the Vitantus, became victorious in the contests.
6.18.7
स म॒ज्मना॒ जनि॑म॒ मानु॑षाणा॒मम॑र्त्येन॒ नाम्नाति॒ प्र स॑र्स्रे ।
स द्यु॒म्नेन॒ स शव॑सो॒त रा॒या स वी॒र्ये॑ण॒ नृत॑मः॒ समो॑काः ॥
By his greatness he has surpassed all the births of men, renowned by the immortal name; by splendor, by strength, by wealth, and by heroic power, he is the most manly, alone in his dwelling.
6.18.8
स यो न मु॒हे न मिथू॒ जनो॒ भूत्सु॒मन्तु॑नामा॒ चुमु॑रिं॒ धुनिं॑ च ।
वृ॒णक्पिप्रुं॒ शम्ब॑रं॒ शुष्ण॒मिन्द्रः॑ पु॒रां च्यौ॒त्नाय॑ श॒यथा॑य॒ नू चि॑त् ॥
That Indra, who is never in vain, became a man of good renown; he also struck down Cumuri and Dhuni. Indra struck down Pipru, Śambara and Śuṣṇa, and that he might split and lay low the forts.
6.18.9
उ॒दाव॑ता॒ त्वक्ष॑सा॒ पन्य॑सा च वृत्र॒हत्या॑य॒ रथ॑मिन्द्र तिष्ठ ।
धि॒ष्व वज्रं॒ हस्त॒ आ द॑क्षिण॒त्राभि प्र म॑न्द पुरुदत्र मा॒याः ॥
O Indra, with swift horses, with might and with wealth, stand upon the chariot for the slaying of Vṛtra. Set the thunderbolt high in your hand on the right side; O giver of much, exhilarate yourself with your illusions.
6.18.10
अ॒ग्निर्न शुष्कं॒ वन॑मिन्द्र हे॒ती रक्षो॒ नि ध॑क्ष्य॒शनि॒र्न भी॒मा ।
ग॒म्भी॒रय॑ ऋ॒ष्वया॒ यो रु॒रोजाध्वा॑नयद्दुरि॒ता द॒म्भय॑च्च ॥
Like fire upon dry wood in the forest, O Indra, strike down the demons with your weapon, like a fearsome thunderbolt, with your deep and roaring weapon. He who broke the sinful ones, made them resound, and subdued those who sought to harm.
6.18.11
आ स॒हस्रं॑ प॒थिभि॑रिन्द्र रा॒या तुवि॑द्युम्न तुवि॒वाजे॑भिर॒र्वाक् ।
या॒हि सू॑नो सहसो॒ यस्य॒ नू चि॒ददे॑व॒ ईशे॑ पुरुहूत॒ योतोः॑ ॥
Come to us, O Indra, by a thousand paths, with wealth, O much-brightened one, with swift helpers. O son of strength, whose rule is unrivaled, you indeed, O much-invoked one, come hither.
6.18.12
प्र तु॑विद्यु॒म्नस्य॒ स्थवि॑रस्य॒ घृष्वे॑र्दि॒वो र॑रप्शे महि॒मा पृ॑थि॒व्याः ।
नास्य॒ शत्रु॒र्न प्र॑ति॒मान॑मस्ति॒ न प्र॑ति॒ष्ठिः पु॑रुमा॒यस्य॒ सह्योः॑ ॥
Forth has shone the greatness of him of much light, the steadfast, the bold, of heaven and of earth. No enemy of his is equal, nor is there an opponent, nor a rival, of him of many wiles, the mighty one.
6.18.13
प्र तत्ते॑ अ॒द्या कर॑णं कृ॒तं भू॒त्कुत्सं॒ यदा॒युम॑तिथि॒ग्वम॑स्मै ।
पु॒रू स॒हस्रा॒ नि शि॑शा अ॒भि क्षामुत्तूर्व॑याणं धृष॒ता नि॑नेथ ॥
Indra, today this heroic deed of yours was accomplished, which you did for Kutsa, Āyu and Atithigva. You laid many thousands low upon the earth, and with boldness you led Tūrvayāṇa up.
6.18.14
अनु॒ त्वाहि॑घ्ने॒ अध॑ देव दे॒वा मद॒न्विश्वे॑ क॒वित॑मं कवी॒नाम् ।
करो॒ यत्र॒ वरि॑वो बाधि॒ताय॑ दि॒वे जना॑य त॒न्वे॑ गृणा॒नः ॥
Following after you when Ahi was slain, O god, all the gods rejoiced and found you, the wisest of the seers. Where you make wealth for the oppressed, for heaven, for the people, for the body, there may you be praised.
6.18.15
अनु॒ द्यावा॑पृथि॒वी तत्त॒ ओजोऽम॑र्त्या जिहत इन्द्र दे॒वाः ।
कृ॒ष्वा कृ॑त्नो॒ अकृ॑तं॒ यत्ते॒ अस्ति॑ उ॒क्थं नवी॑यो जनयस्व य॒ज्ञैः ॥
According to your strength, heaven and earth praise you, O Indra; and the immortal gods honor you. O maker, make what is unmade; and generate for yourself a new hymn with sacrifices.
