6.46.1
त्वामिद्धि हवा॑महे सा॒ता वाज॑स्य का॒रवः॑ ।
त्वां वृ॒त्रेष्वि॑न्द्र॒ सत्प॑तिं॒ नर॒स्त्वां काष्ठा॒स्वर्व॑तः ॥
O Indra, we who sing for the prize in the contest call upon you alone. In battles the leaders call upon you, lord of the good and protector of the faithful, and in the hard races of the racing horses they call upon you.
6.46.2
स त्वं न॑श्चित्र वज्रहस्त धृष्णु॒या म॒ह स्त॑वा॒नो अ॑द्रिवः ।
गामश्वं॑ र॒थ्य॑मिन्द्र॒ सं कि॑र स॒त्रा वाजं॒ न जि॒ग्युषे॑ ॥
You, wonderful wielder of the thunderbolt, bold and mighty Indra, much praised, stone-wielder, surely grant us cattle, horses, and a steed fit for the chariot. Bestow wealth upon us as a prize is given to the victor.
6.46.3
यः स॑त्रा॒हा विच॑र्षणि॒रिन्द्रं॒ तं हू॑महे व॒यम् ।
सह॑स्रमुष्क॒ तुवि॑नृम्ण॒ सत्प॑ते॒ भवा॑ स॒मत्सु॑ नो वृ॒धे ॥
We call upon that Indra, conqueror of all rivals and all-seeing. O giver of a thousand, very mighty one, lord of the good, be with us for our growth in the contests.
6.46.4
बाध॑से॒ जना॑न्वृष॒भेव॑ म॒न्युना॒ घृषौ॑ मी॒ळ्ह ऋ॑चीषम ।
अ॒स्माकं॑ बोध्यवि॒ता म॑हाध॒ने त॒नूष्व॒प्सु सूर्ये॑ ॥
Like a bull in fury you drive the peoples away, O lord of the ṛc-hymns, O bright one. Be our protector in our great wealth; be our keeper in our bodies, in the waters, and in the sun.
6.46.5
इन्द्र॒ ज्येष्ठं॑ न॒ आ भ॑रँ॒ ओजि॑ष्ठं॒ पपु॑रि॒ श्रवः॑ ।
येने॒मे चि॑त्र वज्रहस्त॒ रोद॑सी॒ ओभे सु॑शिप्र॒ प्राः ॥
O Indra, bring us the greatest, most vigorous, and widest fame. O bright one, thunderbolt-handed, fair-jawed, by that glory with which you filled both heaven and earth, protect us.
6.46.6
त्वामु॒ग्रमव॑से चर्षणी॒सहं॒ राज॑न्दे॒वेषु॑ हूमहे ।
विश्वा॒ सु नो॑ विथु॒रा पि॑ब्द॒ना व॑सो अ॒मित्रा॑न्त्सु॒षहा॑न्कृधि ॥
O king, among the gods, for protection, we call upon you, fierce conqueror of peoples. O wealthy one, drive well away all our obstacles and destroyers, and make our enemies easily overcome.
6.46.7
यदि॑न्द्र॒ नाहु॑षी॒ष्वाँ ओजो॑ नृ॒म्णं च॑ कृ॒ष्टिषु॑ ।
यद्वा॒ पञ्च॑ क्षिती॒नां द्यु॒म्नमा भ॑र स॒त्रा विश्वा॑नि॒ पौंस्या॑ ॥
O Indra, when there is strength among the Nahuṣa folk and manly vigor among the settled peoples, or when the brightness of the five dwelling-peoples is present, indeed bring us all heroic deeds.
6.46.8
यद्वा॑ तृ॒क्षौ म॑घवन्द्रु॒ह्यावा जने॒ यत्पू॒रौ कच्च॒ वृष्ण्य॑म् ।
अ॒स्मभ्यं॒ तद्रि॑रीहि॒ सं नृ॒षाह्ये॑ अ॒मित्रा॑न्पृ॒त्सु तु॒र्वणे॑ ॥
Or whatever manly strength there is among the Tṛkṣi, O bountiful Indra, among the Druhyu, among the people, among the Pūru, that grant to us; in the man-subduing contest, destroy the enemies together in battles for Turvaṇa.
6.46.9
इन्द्र॑ त्रि॒धातु॑ शर॒णं त्रि॒वरू॑थं स्वस्ति॒मत् ।
छ॒र्दिर्य॑च्छ म॒घव॑द्भ्यश्च॒ मह्यं॑ च या॒वया॑ दि॒द्युमे॑भ्यः ॥
O Indra, threefold-supporting, with triple protection, bringing well-being, hold out shelter for the bountiful ones and for me as well, and keep away the brightness from these.
6.46.10
ये ग॑व्य॒ता मन॑सा॒ शत्रु॑माद॒भुर॑भिप्र॒घ्नन्ति॑ धृष्णु॒या ।
अध॑ स्मा नो मघवन्निन्द्र गिर्वणस्तनू॒पा अन्त॑मो भव ॥
Those who, with a mind desiring cattle, do not harm the enemy, but strike down boldly; then indeed, O bountiful Indra, O praised one, be the best protector of our bodies.
6.46.11
अध॑ स्मा नो वृ॒धे भ॒वेन्द्र॑ ना॒यम॑वा यु॒धि ।
यद॒न्तरि॑क्षे प॒तय॑न्ति प॒र्णिनो॑ दि॒द्यव॑स्ति॒ग्ममू॑र्धानः ॥
Then indeed be for our growth, O Indra; protect that man in battle, when the feathered ones fly in midair, bright and sharp-headed.
6.46.12
यत्र॒ शूरा॑सस्त॒न्वो॑ वितन्व॒ते प्रि॒या शर्म॑ पितॄ॒णाम् ।
अध॑ स्मा यच्छ त॒न्वे॑ तने॑ च छ॒र्दिर॒चित्तं॑ या॒वय॒ द्वेषः॑ ॥
Where heroes extend their bodies, the dear shelter of the fathers; then indeed hold out shelter for my body and for the lineage, and keep away unthinking hostilities.
6.46.13
यदि॑न्द्र॒ सर्गे॒ अर्व॑तश्चो॒दया॑से महाध॒ने ।
अ॒स॒म॒ने अध्व॑नि वृजि॒ने प॒थि श्ये॒नाँ इ॑व श्रवस्य॒तः ॥
O Indra, when in the race for great wealth you urge on the horses, on the uneven, crooked road, like hawks seeking fame.
6.46.14
सिन्धूँ॑रिव प्रव॒ण आ॑शु॒या य॒तो यदि॒ क्लोश॒मनु॒ ष्वणि॑ ।
आ ये वयो॒ न वर्वृ॑त॒त्यामि॑षि गृभी॒ता बा॒ह्वोर्गवि॑ ॥
Like rivers rushing swiftly down a slope, when held back and then speeding along the bank with their roar; those seized in the cloud do not flee like birds, they are held in the arms and in the cow.
