8.3.1
पिबा॑ सु॒तस्य॑ र॒सिनो॒ मत्स्वा॑ न इन्द्र॒ गोम॑तः ।
आ॒पिर्नो॑ बोधि सध॒माद्यो॑ वृ॒धेऽस्माँ अ॑वन्तु ते॒ धियः॑ ॥
O Indra, drink of this juicy soma, rich in cows, and rejoice. Become our friend and fellow reveler for our growth; may your hymns protect us.
8.3.2
भू॒याम॑ ते सुम॒तौ वा॒जिनो॑ व॒यं मा न॑ स्तर॒भिमा॑तये ।
अ॒स्माञ्चि॒त्राभि॑रवताद॒भिष्टि॑भि॒रा नः॑ सु॒म्नेषु॑ यामय ॥
O mighty one, may we remain in your favor; do not abandon us to the hostile attack. Protect us with bright protections, and lead us on toward riches.
8.3.3
इ॒मा उ॑ त्वा पुरूवसो॒ गिरो॑ वर्धन्तु॒ या मम॑ ।
पा॒व॒कव॑र्णाः॒ शुच॑यो विप॒श्चितो॑ अ॒भि स्तोमै॑रनूषत ॥
O rich in treasures, may these my songs exalt you. The bright, pure, discerning poets of purifying hue have praised you with hymns.
8.3.4
अ॒यं स॒हस्र॒मृषि॑भिः॒ सह॑स्कृतः समु॒द्र इ॑व पप्रथे ।
स॒त्यः सो अ॑स्य महि॒मा गृ॑णे॒ शवो॑ य॒ज्ञेषु॑ विप्र॒राज्ये॑ ॥
Made mighty by the seers, he has spread out like the ocean in a thousand forms. His greatness is true; I praise his power in the sacrifices and in the sovereignty of the inspired poets.
8.3.5
इन्द्र॒मिद्दे॒वता॑तय॒ इन्द्रं॑ प्रय॒त्य॑ध्व॒रे ।
इन्द्रं॑ समी॒के व॒निनो॑ हवामह॒ इन्द्रं॒ धन॑स्य सा॒तये॑ ॥
For the favor of the gods we call upon Indra; at the sacrifice being offered we call upon Indra, in the battle we call upon Indra. For the winning of wealth we call upon Indra.
8.3.6
इन्द्रो॑ म॒ह्ना रोद॑सी पप्रथ॒च्छव॒ इन्द्रः॒ सूर्य॑मरोचयत् ।
इन्द्रे॑ ह॒ विश्वा॒ भुव॑नानि येमिर॒ इन्द्रे॑ सुवा॒नास॒ इन्द॑वः ॥
Indra by his greatness has spread wide the two worlds; Indra by his might has lit up the sun. In Indra all beings are held fast; in Indra are the pressed drops of soma.
8.3.7
अ॒भि त्वा॑ पू॒र्वपी॑तये॒ इन्द्र॒ स्तोमे॑भिरा॒यवः॑ ।
स॒मी॒ची॒नास॑ ऋ॒भवः॒ सम॑स्वरन्रु॒द्रा गृ॑णन्त॒ पूर्व्य॑म् ॥
O Indra, the sons of Āyu, united in their hymns, sang toward you for the first drinking; the Rudras praised the ancient one.
8.3.8
अ॒स्येदिन्द्रो॑ वावृधे॒ वृष्ण्यं॒ शवो॒ मदे॑ सु॒तस्य॒ विष्ण॑वि ।
अ॒द्या तम॑स्य महि॒मान॑मा॒यवोऽनु॑ ष्टुवन्ति पू॒र्वथा॑ ॥
In the intoxication of this pressed soma Indra has grown strong with manly might, in Viṣṇu's exhilaration; today the sons of Āyu praise his greatness, as before.
8.3.9
तत्त्वा॑ यामि सु॒वीर्यं॒ तद्ब्रह्म॑ पू॒र्वचि॑त्तये ।
येना॒ यति॑भ्यो॒ भृग॑वे॒ धने॑ हि॒ते येन॒ प्रस्क॑ण्व॒मावि॑थ ॥
That heroic strength I come to you seeking; that sacred formula I bring for the ancient thought, by which you protected Praskaṇva, for the Yatis and for Bhṛgu, when wealth was placed.
8.3.10
येना॑ समु॒द्रमसृ॑जो म॒हीर॒पस्तदि॑न्द्र॒ वृष्णि॑ ते॒ शवः॑ ।
स॒द्यः सो अ॑स्य महि॒मा न सं॒नशे॒ यं क्षो॒णीर॑नुचक्र॒दे ॥
By that virile strength of yours, O Indra, you released the ocean and the great waters; his greatness is present at once, not in destruction, before whom the two worlds bow down.
8.3.11
श॒ग्धी न॑ इन्द्र॒ यत्त्वा॑ र॒यिं यामि॑ सु॒वीर्य॑म् ।
श॒ग्धि वाजा॑य प्रथ॒मं सिषा॑सते श॒ग्धि स्तोमा॑य पूर्व्य ॥
Grant to us, O Indra, when I seek from you good heroic wealth; grant first for the prize to those who desire to win; grant, O ancient one, for the praise.
8.3.12
श॒ग्धी नो॑ अ॒स्य यद्ध॑ पौ॒रमावि॑थ॒ धिय॑ इन्द्र॒ सिषा॑सतः ।
श॒ग्धि यथा॒ रुश॑मं॒ श्याव॑कं॒ कृप॒मिन्द्र॒ प्रावः॒ स्व॑र्णरम् ॥
Grant to us from his wealth, by which you protected the son of Pūru when he desired your prayers; O Indra, grant as you did for Ruśama, Śyāvaka and Kṛpa; O Indra, you protected Svarṇara.
8.3.13
कन्नव्यो॑ अत॒सीनां॑ तु॒रो गृ॑णीत॒ मर्त्यः॑ ।
न॒ही न्व॑स्य महि॒मान॑मिन्द्रि॒यं स्व॑र्गृ॒णन्त॑ आन॒शुः ॥
Which new mortal, among the ancient ones, will quickly praise him? Indeed no one has reached his greatness and power; praising the heaven, they attained it.
8.3.14
कदु॑ स्तु॒वन्त॑ ऋतयन्त दे॒वता॒ ऋषिः॒ को विप्र॑ ओहते ।
क॒दा हवं॑ मघवन्निन्द्र सुन्व॒तः कदु॑ स्तुव॒त आ ग॑मः ॥
When will the seer, desiring the sacred order and praising the gods, praise him? Which inspired sage calls him? O bounteous Indra, when will you come to the call of the one who presses soma and of the one who praises you?
8.3.15
उदु॒ त्ये मधु॑मत्तमा॒ गिर॒ स्तोमा॑स ईरते ।
स॒त्रा॒जितो॑ धन॒सा अक्षि॑तोतयो वाज॒यन्तो॒ रथा॑ इव ॥
Those most sweet words and hymns rise forth; victorious in battle, rich in wealth, unfailing in protection, desiring the prize, they advance like chariots.
8.3.16
कण्वा॑ इव॒ भृग॑वः॒ सूर्या॑ इव॒ विश्व॒मिद्धी॒तमा॑नशुः ।
इन्द्रं॒ स्तोमे॑भिर्म॒हय॑न्त आ॒यवः॑ प्रि॒यमे॑धासो अस्वरन् ॥
Like the descendants of Kaṇva, like the Bhṛgus, like the sun-seers, all have attained inspired thought; exalting Indra with hymns, the men dear to wisdom have sung.
8.3.17
यु॒क्ष्वा हि वृ॑त्रहन्तम॒ हरी॑ इन्द्र परा॒वतः॑ ।
अ॒र्वा॒ची॒नो म॑घव॒न्त्सोम॑पीतय उ॒ग्र ऋ॒ष्वेभि॒रा ग॑हि ॥
Yoke, indeed, your two bay horses, O slayer of Vṛtra, Indra; turned toward us from afar, O bounteous one, to drink the soma, come hither, O mighty one, with your swift steeds.
8.3.18
इ॒मे हि ते॑ का॒रवो॑ वाव॒शुर्धि॒या विप्रा॑सो मे॒धसा॑तये ।
स त्वं नो॑ मघवन्निन्द्र गिर्वणो वे॒नो न शृ॑णुधी॒ हव॑म् ॥
These are the singers for you; the seers have worked with thought to gain wisdom. Therefore, O bounteous Indra, praised with songs, hear our call as you would the call of the sage Vena.
8.3.19
निरि॑न्द्र बृह॒तीभ्यो॑ वृ॒त्रं धनु॑भ्यो अस्फुरः ।
निरर्बु॑दस्य॒ मृग॑यस्य मा॒यिनो॒ निः पर्व॑तस्य॒ गा आ॑जः ॥
O Indra, you drove Vṛtra forth from the great waters. From the deceiver Arbuda and the deer-demon, from the mountain, you drove the cows out.
8.3.20
निर॒ग्नयो॑ रुरुचु॒र्निरु॒ सूर्यो॒ निः सोम॑ इन्द्रि॒यो रसः॑ ।
निर॒न्तरि॑क्षादधमो म॒हामहिं॑ कृ॒षे तदि॑न्द्र॒ पौंस्य॑म् ॥
The fires shone forth, the sun appeared, and Soma, the juice that gives vigor, flowed forth. From midspace, O Indra, you cast down the great serpent; this is your manly power.
8.3.21
यं मे॒ दुरिन्द्रो॑ म॒रुतः॒ पाक॑स्थामा॒ कौर॑याणः ।
विश्वे॑षां॒ त्मना॒ शोभि॑ष्ठ॒मुपे॑व दि॒वि धाव॑मानम् ॥
Which Indra and the Maruts gave me — the stout Pākasthāman and Kaurayāṇa — most radiant of all by its own brilliance, like a thing running across heaven.
8.3.22
रोहि॑तं मे॒ पाक॑स्थामा सु॒धुरं॑ कक्ष्य॒प्राम् ।
अदा॑द्रा॒यो वि॒बोध॑नम् ॥
The red horse Pākasthāman gave me, with a good yoke-pole and a girth-band, awakening wealth.
8.3.23
यस्मा॑ अ॒न्ये दश॒ प्रति॒ धुरं॒ वह॑न्ति॒ वह्न॑यः ।
अस्तं॒ वयो॒ न तुग्र्य॑म् ॥
For whom the other ten carry toward the yoke, the yoked horses, homeward, like a bird and swift.
8.3.24
आ॒त्मा पि॒तुस्त॒नूर्वास॑ ओजो॒दा अ॒भ्यञ्ज॑नम् ।
तु॒रीय॒मिद्रोहि॑तस्य॒ पाक॑स्थामानं भो॒जं दा॒तार॑मब्रवम् ॥
The self of the father, the body, the garment, the giver of strength, the anointing — the fourth part of the red one indeed. I declare Pākasthāman the giver who bestows enjoyment.
