8.40.1
इन्द्रा॑ग्नी यु॒वं सु नः॒ सह॑न्ता॒ दास॑थो र॒यिं येन॑ दृ॒ळ्हा स॒म~त्स्वा ।
वी॒ळु चि॑त्साहिषी॒महि॑ अ॒ग्निर्वने॑व॒ वात॒ इन्नभ॑न्तामन्य॒के स॑मे ॥
Indra and Agni, may you two, as victors, grant us that wealth by which we overcome firm forces in battles. As Agni consumes the forests and they tremble in the wind, may our enemies tremble.
8.40.2
न॒हि वां॑ व॒व्रया॑म॒हेऽथेन्द्र॒मिद्य॑जामहे॒ शवि॑ष्ठं नृ॒णां नरं॒ स नः॑ क॒दा चि॒दर्व॑ता ।
गम॒दा वाज॑सातये॒ गम॒दा मे॒धसा॑तये॒ नभ॑न्तामन्य॒के स॑मे ॥
We never turn away from you two; therefore we worship Indra, the mightiest of men and hero. May he come to us with his steed, at any time, to win spoils and to win wisdom; may our enemies tremble.
8.40.3
ता हि मध्यं॒ भरा॑णामिन्द्रा॒ग्नी अ॑धिक्षि॒तः ता उ॑ कवित्व॒ना क॒वी ।
पृ॒च्छ्यमा॑ना सखीय॒ते सं धी॒तम॑श्नुतं नरा॒ नभ॑न्तामन्य॒के स॑मे ॥
Those two stand in the midst of sustenance, Indra and Agni, who hold dominion over our foes; by poetic praise they become the seers. When asked for a friend, O heroes both, may you two obtain our insight; may our enemies tremble.
8.40.4
अ॒भ्य॑र्च नभाक॒वदि॑न्द्रा॒ग्नी य॒जसा॑ गि॒रा ययो॒र्विश्व॑मि॒दं जग॑द् ।
इ॒यं द्यौः पृ॑थि॒वी म॒ही उ॒पस्थे॑ बिभृ॒तो वसु॒ नभ॑न्तामन्य॒के स॑मे ॥
Praise Indra and Agni like Nabhāka, with sacrifice and song; theirs is this whole moving world. This sky and this vast earth lie in their lap; they who bear wealth. May our enemies tremble.
8.40.5
प्र ब्रह्मा॑णि नभाक॒वदि॑न्द्रा॒ग्निभ्या॑मिरज्यत॒ या स॒प्तबु॑ध्नमर्ण॒वं ।
जि॒ह्मबा॑रमपोर्णु॒त इन्द्र॒ ईशा॑न॒ ओज॑सा॒ नभ॑न्तामन्य॒के स॑मे ॥
Like Nabhāka, prayers rose for Indra and Agni; those two laid open the seven-based ocean and unsealed the crooked-flowing waters. Indra, lord by might; may our enemies tremble.
8.40.6
अपि॑ वृश्च पुराण॒वद्व्र॒तते॑रिव गुष्पि॒तमोजो॑ दा॒सस्य॑ दम्भय ।
व॒यं तद॑स्य॒ सम्भृ॑तं॒ वसु॒ इन्द्रे॑ण॒ वि भ॑जेमहि॒ नभ॑न्तामन्य॒के स॑मे ॥
As of old, like a cord of bondage, cut off and subdue the strength of the servant. May we, with Indra, distinctly share the wealth he has gathered; may our enemies tremble.
8.40.7
यदि॑न्द्रा॒ग्नी जना॑ इ॒मे वि॒ह्वय॑न्ते॒ तना॑ गि॒रा अ॒स्माके॑भि॒र्नृभि॑र्व॒यं ।
सा॒स॒ह्याम॑ पृतन्य॒तः व॑नु॒याम॑ वनुष्य॒तः नभ॑न्तामन्य॒के स॑मे ॥
When people call upon Indra and Agni with body and with song, may we, with our men, conquer those who seek battle and overcome those who seek to win; may the rivals and the others be brought low.
8.40.8
या नु श्वे॒ताव॒वो दि॒व उ॒च्चरा॑त॒ उप॒ द्युभिः॑ इन्द्रा॒ग्न्योरनु॑ व्र॒तम् ।
उहा॑ना यन्ति॒ सिन्ध॑वो॒ यान्त्सीं॑ ब॒न्धादमु॑ञ्चतां॒ नभ॑न्तामन्य॒के स॑मे ॥
Those two white ones rise up from below and from heaven, coming with their lights according to the rule of Indra and Agni; the rivers, carried there, flow on, released from their bond. May the rivals and the others be brought low.
8.40.9
पू॒र्वीष्ट॑ इ॒न्द्रोप॑मातयः पू॒र्वीरु॒त प्रश॑स्तयः॒ सूनो॑ हि॒न्वस्य॑ हरिवः ।
वस्वो॑ वी॒रस्या॒पृचो॒ या नु साध॑न्त नो॒ धियो॒ नभ॑न्तामन्य॒के स॑मे ॥
O Indra, many are your approaches and many your praises. O lord of the bay horses, son of the impeller, the prayers that open the doors of wealth and of the hero accomplish our thoughts. May the rivals and the others be brought low.
8.40.10
तं शि॑शीता सुवृ॒क्तिभि॑स्त्वे॒षं सत्वा॑नमृ॒ग्मिय॑मु॒तो नु चि॒द्य ओज॑सा ।
शुष्ण॑स्या॒ण्डानि॒ भेद॑ति॒ जेष॒त्स्व॑र्वतीर॒पो नभ॑न्तामन्य॒के स॑मे ॥
Sharpen him with good praises, the bright, strong, bright and praiseworthy one; he who with his strength breaks the eggs of Śuṣṇa and conquers the waters that hold the sun. May the rivals and the others be brought low.
8.40.11
तं शि॑शीता स्वध्व॒रं स॒त्यं सत्वा॑नमृ॒त्विय॑मु॒तो नु चि॒द्य ओह॑ते ।
आ॒ण्डा शुष्ण॑स्य॒ भेद॑ति॒ अजैः॒ स्व॑र्वतीर॒पो नभ॑न्तामन्य॒के स॑मे ॥
Sharpen him, the one of good sacrifice, true, strong, worthy of the rite; he who invokes breaks the eggs of Śuṣṇa; you drove the waters that possess the sun. May the rivals and the others be brought low.
8.40.12
ए॒वेन्द्रा॒ग्निभ्यां॑ पितृ॒वन्नवी॑यो मन्धातृ॒वद॑ङ्गिर॒स्वद॑वाचि ।
त्रि॒धातु॑ना॒ शर्म॑णा पातम॒स्मान्व॒यं स्या॑म॒ पत॑यो रयी॒णाम् ॥
Thus to Indra and Agni, like the fathers, a new hymn has been spoken, like that of Mandhātṛ and the Aṅgirases. Protect us with the threefold shelter, that we may be lords of riches.
