6.24.1
वृषा॒ मद॒ इन्द्रे॒ श्लोक॑ उ॒क्था सचा॒ सोमे॑षु सुत॒पा ऋ॑जी॒षी ।
अ॒र्च॒त्र्यो॑ म॒घवा॒ नृभ्य॑ उ॒क्थैर्द्यु॒क्षो राजा॑ गि॒रामक्षि॑तोतिः ॥
In Indra is the bull's exhilaration; praise-songs and recitations are with him. Pure-pressed at the soma rites, swift is he. Worthy of praise, bountiful, king brilliant with recitations for the men, lord of songs, whose help never fails.
6.24.2
ततु॑रिर्वी॒रो नर्यो॒ विचे॑ताः॒ श्रोता॒ हवं॑ गृण॒त उ॒र्व्यू॑तिः ।
वसुः॒ शंसो॑ न॒रां का॒रुधा॑या वा॒जी स्तु॒तो वि॒दथे॑ दाति॒ वाज॑म् ॥
Tuturi is a hero, manly, discerning, a hearer of the call of the praiser; wide-protecting, giver of wealth, worthy of praise, strong, with prize in the contest. May he give the prize in the assembly.
6.24.3
अक्षो॒ न च॒क्र्योः॑ शूर बृ॒हन्प्र ते॑ म॒ह्ना रि॑रिचे॒ रोद॑स्योः ।
वृ॒क्षस्य॒ नु ते॑ पुरुहूत व॒या व्यू॑तयो॑ रुरुहुरिन्द्र पू॒र्वीः ॥
O hero, like the axle of the chariot-wheels, by your greatness you have surpassed even the two worlds. O much-invoked one, your powers have spread like a tree; Indra, your ancient helps have reached upward.
6.24.4
शची॑वतस्ते पुरुशाक॒ शाका॒ गवा॑मिव स्रु॒तयः॑ सं॒चर॑णीः ।
व॒त्सानां॒ न त॒न्तय॑स्त इन्द्र॒ दाम॑न्वन्तो अदा॒मानः॑ सुदामन् ॥
Your branches, O mighty one of many shapes, roam together like the paths of the cows. Like the calves' cords are your cords, Indra; some are bound, some unbound — O good binder.
6.24.5
अ॒न्यद॒द्य कर्व॑रम॒न्यदु॒ श्वो अस॑च्च॒ सन्मुहु॑राच॒क्रिरिन्द्रः॑ ।
मि॒त्रो नो॒ अत्र॒ वरु॑णश्च पू॒षार्यो वश॑स्य पर्ये॒तास्ति॑ ॥
Today one deed, tomorrow another; the unreal and the real — again and again Indra is the maker. Here Mitra, Varuṇa and Pūṣan are ours; he too is the one who encircles the foe's ring.
6.24.6
वि त्वदापो॒ न पर्व॑तस्य पृ॒ष्ठादु॒क्थेभि॑रिन्द्रानयन्त य॒ज्ञैः ।
तं त्वा॒भिः सु॑ष्टु॒तिभि॑र्वा॒जय॑न्त आ॒जिं न ज॑ग्मुर्गिर्वाहो॒ अश्वाः॑ ॥
As waters flow apart from a mountain's ridge, so, Indra, you were brought forth with recitations and rites. For him, seeking prize with good praises, the horses went to the contest; O lord of songs, they went to the battle.
6.24.7
न यं जर॑न्ति श॒रदो॒ न मासा॒ न द्याव॒ इन्द्र॑मवक॒र्शय॑न्ति ।
वृ॒द्धस्य॑ चिद्वर्धतामस्य त॒नूः स्तोमे॑भिरु॒क्थैश्च॑ श॒स्यमा॑ना ॥
Whom years do not wear down, nor months, nor days; the heavens do not lower Indra. Though he is aged, may his body grow, being praised with hymns and recited verses.
6.24.8
न वी॒ळवे॒ नम॑ते॒ न स्थि॒राय॒ न शर्ध॑ते॒ दस्यु॑जूताय स्त॒वान् ।
अज्रा॒ इन्द्र॑स्य गि॒रय॑श्चिदृ॒ष्वा ग॑म्भी॒रे चि॑द्भवति गा॒धम॑स्मै ॥
He does not bow to the hero, nor to the steadfast, nor to the one who contends; the singer praises even one roused by the Dasyus. Indra's unaging mountains are strong; even in the deep waters a ford becomes his.
6.24.9
ग॒म्भी॒रेण॑ न उ॒रुणा॑मत्रि॒न्प्रेषो य॑न्धि सुतपाव॒न्वाजा॑न् ।
स्था ऊ॒ षु ऊ॒र्ध्व ऊ॒ती अरि॑षण्यन्न॒क्तोर्व्यु॑ष्टौ॒ परि॑तक्म्यायाम् ॥
With deep and wide strength, O Indra, drive forth food for us; O guardian of the Soma, bestow vigour. Standing high and firm in help, not faltering, at the end of the night, at the dawn's breaking when light spreads.
6.24.10
सच॑स्व ना॒यमव॑से अ॒भीक॑ इ॒तो वा॒ तमि॑न्द्र पाहि रि॒षः ।
अ॒मा चै॑न॒मर॑ण्ये पाहि रि॒षो मदे॑म श॒तहि॑माः सु॒वीराः॑ ॥
Join yourself to this one, for help, even in the encounter of battle; from here or from there, O Indra, protect him from harm. Protect him also in the wilderness from harm, so that we, possessed of a hundred protections and good heroes, may rejoice.
