8.66.1
तरो॑भिर्वो वि॒दद्व॑सु॒मिन्द्रं॑ स॒बाध॑ ऊ॒तये॑ ।
बृ॒हद्गाय॑न्तः सु॒तसो॑मे अध्व॒रे हु॒वे भरं॒ न का॒रिण॑म् ॥
For your protection, singing great songs at the soma-pressing and the sacrifice, I call upon Indra, the giver of wealth, as one calls a laborer to carry a load.
8.66.2
न यं दु॒ध्रा वर॑न्ते॒ न स्थि॒रा मुरो॒ मदे॑ सुशि॒प्रमन्ध॑सः ।
य आ॒दृत्या॑ शशमा॒नाय॑ सुन्व॒ते दाता॑ जरि॒त्र उ॒क्थ्य॑म् ॥
Him whom weak and strong rivals cannot overcome, Indra, in his exhilaration, grants a praiseworthy hymn to the soma-presser and to the singer.
8.66.3
यः श॒क्रो मृ॒क्षो अश्व्यो॒ यो वा॒ कीजो॑ हिर॒ण्ययः॑ ।
स ऊ॒र्वस्य॑ रेजय॒त्यपा॑वृति॒मिन्द्रो॒ गव्य॑स्य वृत्र॒हा ॥
He who is mighty, horse-possessing, dark or golden, that very Indra, slayer of Vṛtra, loosens the enclosure for Ūrva and for the cattle.
8.66.4
निखा॑तं चि॒द्यः पु॑रुसम्भृ॒तं वसूदिद्वप॑ति दा॒शुषे॑ ।
व॒ज्री सु॑शि॒प्रो हर्य॑श्व॒ इत्क॑र॒दिन्द्रः॒ क्रत्वा॒ यथा॒ वश॑त् ॥
He who even brings out buried treasure full of men's wealth and gives it to the giver; may Indra, wielder of the thunderbolt, fine-jawed, bay-horsed, do as he wishes by his wisdom.
8.66.5
यद्वा॒वन्थ॑ पुरुष्टुत पु॒रा चि॑च्छूर नृ॒णाम् ।
व॒यं तत्त॑ इन्द्र॒ सं भ॑रामसि य॒ज्ञमु॒क्थं तु॒रं वचः॑ ॥
That which you have known before for men, much-invoked hero, that, Indra, we bring together with sacrifice, hymn and swift speech.
8.66.6
सचा॒ सोमे॑षु पुरुहूत वज्रिवो॒ मदा॑य द्युक्ष सोमपाः ।
त्वमिद्धि ब्र॑ह्म॒कृते॒ काम्यं॒ वसु॒ देष्ठः॑ सुन्व॒ते भुवः॑ ॥
Much-invoked wielder of the thunderbolt, bright soma-drinker, stay with us among the somas for exhilaration; may you indeed become the most generous giver of desired wealth to the prayer-maker and to the soma-presser.
8.66.7
व॒यमे॑नमि॒दा ह्यो अपी॑पेमे॒ह व॒ज्रिण॑म् ।
तस्मा॑ उ अ॒द्य स॑म॒ना सु॒तं भ॒रा नू॒नं भू॑षत श्रु॒ते ॥
Yesterday and today we have honoured the thunderbolt-bearer here; so today, together, bring the pressed soma and adorn him now, that he may hear.
8.66.8
वृक॑श्चिदस्य वार॒ण उ॑रा॒मथि॒रा व॒युने॑षु भूषति ।
सेमं न॒ स्तोमं॑ जुजुषा॒ण आ ग॒हीन्द्र॒ प्र चि॒त्रया॑ धि॒या ॥
His protector, the wide-bodied wolf, appears among the birds; O Indra, delighting in this our praise, come with bright thought.
8.66.9
कदू॒ न्व॑स्याकृ॑त॒मिन्द्र॑स्यास्ति॒ पौंस्य॑म् ।
केनो॒ नु कं॒ श्रोम॑तेन॒ न शु॑श्रुवे ज॒नुषः॒ परि॑ वृत्र॒हा ॥
When has Indra's manly deed ever been left undone? With what fame, indeed, was the slayer of Vṛtra heard of from birth onward?
8.66.10
कदू॑ म॒हीरधृ॑ष्टा अस्य॒ तवि॑षीः॒ कदु॑ वृत्र॒घ्नो अस्तृ॑तम् ।
इन्द्रो॒ विश्वा॑न्बेक॒नाटाँ॑ अह॒र्दृश॑ उ॒त क्रत्वा॑ प॒णीँर॒भि ॥
When will his great unassailable powers be? When the unobstructed might of the Vṛtra-slayer? Indra, with his wisdom, overcame all the bekanāṭa-demons, the day-seers, and the Paṇis.
8.66.11
व॒यं घा॑ ते॒ अपू॒र्व्येन्द्र॒ ब्रह्मा॑णि वृत्रहन् ।
पु॒रू॒तमा॑सः पुरुहूत वज्रिवो भृ॒तिं न प्र भ॑रामसि ॥
For you, O Indra, we make unprecedented prayers, O slayer of Vṛtra; most-praised, much-invoked wielder of the thunderbolt, we offer them to you as one brings an offering.
8.66.12
पू॒र्वीश्चि॒द्धि त्वे तु॑विकूर्मिन्ना॒शसो॒ हव॑न्त इन्द्रो॒तयः॑ ।
ति॒रश्चि॑द॒र्यः सव॒ना व॑सो गहि॒ शवि॑ष्ठ श्रु॒धि मे॒ हव॑म् ॥
Many, indeed, are your desires, O one rich in power; Indra, those seeking aid call upon you. Go even to the enemy's pressings; come, O bountiful one; hear my call, O most powerful one.
8.66.13
व॒यं घा॑ ते॒ त्वे इदु॒ इन्द्र॒ विप्रा॒ अपि॑ ष्मसि ।
न॒हि त्वद॒न्यः पु॑रुहूत॒ कश्च॒न मघ॑व॒न्नस्ति॑ मर्डि॒ता ॥
Indra, we indeed are near you, O inspired seer. O much-invoked, bountiful one, there is no other giver of mercy than you.
8.66.14
त्वं नो॑ अ॒स्या अम॑तेरु॒त क्षु॒धोऽभिश॑स्ते॒रव॑ स्पृधि ।
त्वं न॑ ऊ॒ती तव॑ चि॒त्रया॑ धि॒या शिक्षा॑ शचिष्ठ गातु॒वित् ॥
Drive down from us this thoughtlessness, hunger, and calumny. And you, through your help and bright thought, teach us, O most powerful one, knowing the path.
8.66.15
सोम॒ इद्वः॑ सु॒तो अ॑स्तु॒ कल॑यो॒ मा बि॑भीतन ।
अपेदे॒ष ध्व॒स्माय॑ति स्व॒यं घै॒षो अपा॑यति ॥
Let soma indeed be pressed for you. Do not fear, O wise ones. The destroyer indeed draws near, and of itself it goes away.
