8.21.1
व॒यमु॒ त्वाम॑पूर्व्य स्थू॒रं न कच्चि॒द्भर॑न्तोऽव॒स्यवः॑ ।
वाजे॑ चि॒त्रं ह॑वामहे ॥
O unprecedented Indra, we who seek help call upon you, the wondrous one, in the contest, as no one can bear a firm post.
8.21.2
उप॑ त्वा॒ कर्म॑न्नू॒तये॒ स नो॒ युवो॒ग्रश्च॑क्राम॒ यो धृ॒षत् ।
त्वामिद्ध्य॑वि॒तारं॑ ववृ॒महे॒ सखा॑य इन्द्र सान॒सिम् ॥
In the sacrifice we have come near you for protection; you are the young and fierce one who approached boldly. Truly, we friends choose you as our protector, O Indra, giver of wealth.
8.21.3
आ या॑ही॒म इन्द॒वोऽश्व॑पते॒ गोप॑त॒ उर्व॑रापते ।
सोमं॑ सोमपते पिब ॥
Come, these soma drops, O lord of horses, lord of cows, lord of the fields; drink the soma, O lord of soma, drink.
8.21.4
व॒यं हि त्वा॒ बन्धु॑मन्तमब॒न्धवो॒ विप्रा॑स इन्द्र येमि॒म ।
या ते॒ धामा॑नि वृषभ॒ तेभि॒रा ग॑हि॒ विश्वे॑भिः॒ सोम॑पीतये ॥
We, though kinless, are wise sages; O Indra, we hold you who have kin. O bull, come hither with all your abodes, all together, to drink soma.
8.21.5
सीद॑न्तस्ते॒ वयो॑ यथा॒ गोश्री॑ते॒ मधौ॑ मदि॒रे वि॒वक्ष॑णे ।
अ॒भि त्वामि॑न्द्र नोनुमः ॥
Sitting near you like birds, in the cow-adorned honey, in the intoxicating, joyful, invoking soma, we praise you, O Indra.
8.21.6
अच्छा॑ च त्वै॒ना नम॑सा॒ वदा॑मसि॒ किं मुहु॑श्चि॒द्वि दी॑धयः ।
सन्ति॒ कामा॑सो हरिवो द॒दिष्ट्वं स्मो व॒यं सन्ति॑ नो॒ धियः॑ ॥
We speak to you with this homage: why do you shine away again and again? O Harivan, giver, we have desires; we are yours, and we have thoughts (praises).
8.21.7
नूत्ना॒ इदि॑न्द्र ते व॒यमू॒ती अ॑भूम न॒हि नू ते॑ अद्रिवः ।
वि॒द्मा पु॒रा परी॑णसः ॥
O Indra, by your help we have indeed become new; O wielder of the stone, we know you from of old, you who crossed beyond the distant ones.
8.21.8
वि॒द्मा स॑खि॒त्वमु॒त शू॑र भो॒ज्य॑मा ते॒ ता व॑ज्रिन्नीमहे ।
उ॒तो स॑मस्मि॒न्ना शि॑शीहि नो वसो॒ वाजे॑ सुशिप्र॒ गोम॑ति ॥
We know your friendship and your portion, O hero; O wielder of the thunderbolt, we beseech you for these; and indeed, O giver of wealth, grant us in every contest, O well-jawed one, a portion rich in cows.
8.21.9
यो न॑ इ॒दमि॑दं पु॒रा प्र वस्य॑ आनि॒नाय॒ तमु॑ व स्तुषे ।
सखा॑य॒ इन्द्र॑मू॒तये॑ ॥
Him who of old brought this and this for us, the wealthy one, him I praise for you; O friends, praise Indra for help.
8.21.10
हर्य॑श्वं॒ सत्प॑तिं चर्षणी॒सहं॒ स हि ष्मा॒ यो अम॑न्दत ।
आ तु नः॒ स व॑यति॒ गव्य॒मश्व्यं॑ स्तो॒तृभ्यो॑ म॒घवा॑ श॒तम् ॥
The one with tawny horses, lord of the good, conqueror of the forts, he who truly rejoiced, may that bountiful one bestow on us cattle and horses, and on the singers a hundred.
8.21.11
त्वया॑ ह स्विद्यु॒जा व॒यं प्रति॑ श्व॒सन्तं॑ वृषभ ब्रुवीमहि ।
सं॒स्थे जन॑स्य॒ गोम॑तः ॥
Truly with you as our yoke-mate, O bull, we speak toward the one who pants, in the assembly of the people rich in cows.
8.21.12
जये॑म का॒रे पु॑रुहूत का॒रिणो॑ अ॒भि ति॑ष्ठेम दू॒ढ्यः॑ ।
नृभि॑र्वृ॒त्रं ह॒न्याम॑ शूशु॒याम॒ चावे॑रिन्द्र॒ प्र णो॒ धियः॑ ॥
May we win in the rite, O much-invoked one; may we stand firm toward the ritual-makers before the unbreakable stones; with men may we slay and chase away the obstruction; and O Indra, turn our thoughts toward us.
8.21.13
अ॒भ्रा॒तृ॒व्यो अ॒ना त्वमना॑पिरिन्द्र ज॒नुषा॑ स॒नाद॑सि ।
यु॒धेदा॑पि॒त्वमि॑च्छसे ॥
You are rivalless and without beginning by birth, O Indra; in battle you seek lordship.
8.21.14
नकी॑ रे॒वन्तं॑ स॒ख्याय॑ विन्दसे॒ पीय॑न्ति ते सुरा॒श्वः॑ ।
य॒दा कृ॒णोषि॑ नद॒नुं समू॑हसि॒ आदित्पि॒तेव॑ हूयसे ॥
You never find the wealthy for friendship; those whose horses are full of soma drink you. When you roar and gather all together, you are called upon like a father.
8.21.15
मा ते॑ अमा॒जुरो॑ यथा मू॒रास॑ इन्द्र स॒ख्ये त्वाव॑तः ।
नि ष॑दाम॒ सचा॑ सु॒ते ॥
O Indra, may we not, through your friendship, become like the dull, unaging ones; may we sit with you together at the pressing of soma.
8.21.16
मा ते॑ गोदत्र॒ निर॑राम॒ राध॑स॒ इन्द्र॒ मा ते॑ गृहामहि ।
दृ॒ळ्हा चि॑द॒र्यः प्र मृ॑शा॒भ्या भ॑र॒ न ते॑ दा॒मान॑ आ॒दभे॑ ॥
O Indra, giver of cattle-wealth, may we not be deprived of your riches, nor be seized by you. Seize the firm bonds of the foe and bring them hither; may your bonds not bind us.
8.21.17
इन्द्रो॑ वा॒ घेदिय॑न्म॒घं सर॑स्वती वा सु॒भगा॑ द॒दिर्वसु॑ ।
त्वं वा॑ चित्र दा॒शुषे॑ ॥
Indra indeed brings wealth; or fortunate Sarasvatī bestows goods. Or you, O bright one, give riches to the giver.
8.21.18
चित्र॒ इद्राजा॑ राज॒का इद॑न्य॒के य॒के सर॑स्वती॒मनु॑ ।
प॒र्जन्य॑ इव त॒तन॒द्धि वृ॒ष्ट्या स॒हस्र॑म॒युता॒ दद॑त् ॥
The radiant king is indeed the sustainer of kings, and of others too with Sarasvatī. As Parjanya spreads by rain, may he extend, giving thousands and countless treasures.
