6.57.1

इन्द्रा॒ नु पू॒षणा॑ व॒यं स॒ख्याय॑ स्व॒स्तये॑ ।
हु॒वेम॒ वाज॑सातये ॥

Now we call upon Indra and Pūṣan, both, for friendship and welfare, for winning spoils.

सोम॑म॒न्य उपा॑सद॒त्पात॑वे च॒म्वोः॑ सु॒तम् ।
क॒र॒म्भम॒न्य इ॑च्छति ॥

One came near to drink the soma pressed in the two vats; another seeks the karambha.

अ॒जा अ॒न्यस्य॒ वह्न॑यो॒ हरी॑ अ॒न्यस्य॒ सम्भृ॑ता ।
ताभ्यां॑ वृ॒त्राणि॑ जिघ्नते ॥

The goats are the vehicles of one; two bay horses, yoked together, of the other; with them they smite the obstacles.

यदिन्द्रो॒ अन॑य॒द्रितो॑ म॒हीर॒पो वृष॑न्तमः ।
तत्र॑ पू॒षाभ॑व॒त्सचा॑ ॥

When Indra, most bountiful, led forth the cosmic order and the great waters, there Pūṣan became his companion.

तां पू॒ष्णः सु॑म॒तिं व॒यं वृ॒क्षस्य॒ प्र व॒यामि॑व ।
इन्द्र॑स्य॒ चा र॑भामहे ॥

That favor of Pūṣan, and of Indra as well, we take up, as one takes a branch from a tree.

उत्पू॒षणं॑ युवामहे अ॒भीशूँ॑रिव॒ सार॑थिः ।
म॒ह्या इन्द्रं॑ स्व॒स्तये॑ ॥

As a charioteer urges on his horses, we call up Pūṣan; and great Indra too, for our welfare.
