8.69.1
प्रप्र॑ वस्त्रि॒ष्टुभ॒मिषं॑ म॒न्दद्वी॑रा॒येन्द॑वे ।
धि॒या वो॑ मे॒धसा॑तये॒ पुरं॒ध्या वि॑वासति ॥
O worshippers, bring forward the triṣṭubh-measured food for Indra, whose heroes exult, and for Indu. For the gaining of your wisdom, with the inspiration of the poets, he desires you hither.
8.69.2
न॒दं व॒ ओद॑तीनां न॒दं योयु॑वतीनाम् ।
पतिं॑ वो॒ अघ्न्या॑नां धेनू॒नामि॑षुध्यसि ॥
You are the roar of the milch-cows, the roar of the young ones. Your lord, master of the unslayable milch-cows, holds you as his own.
8.69.3
ता अ॑स्य॒ सूद॑दोहसः॒ सोमं॑ श्रीणन्ति॒ पृश्न॑यः ।
जन्म॑न्दे॒वानां॒ विश॑स्त्रि॒ष्वा रो॑च॒ने दि॒वः ॥
Those sweet-milked streams of his purify the soma, the spotted ones; at the birth of the gods, in the three realms, in the light of heaven, the clans set it in place.
8.69.4
अ॒भि प्र गोप॑तिं गि॒रा इन्द्र॑मर्च॒ यथा॑ वि॒दे ।
सू॒नुं स॒त्यस्य॒ सत्प॑तिम् ॥
Forward, with song, praise Indra, lord of the cows, so that I may know him: the son of truth, lord of the good.
8.69.5
आ हर॑यः ससृज्रि॒रेऽरु॑षी॒रधि॑ ब॒र्हिषि॑ ।
यत्रा॒भि सं॒नवा॑महे ॥
Here the tawny steeds have been yoked upon the sacred grass, where we two together invoke him.
8.69.6
इन्द्रा॑य॒ गाव॑ आ॒शिरं॑ दुदु॒ह्रे व॒ज्रिणे॒ मधु॑ ।
यत्सी॑मुपह्व॒रे वि॒दत् ॥
For Indra, the cows yielded the sweet milk, for the thunderbolt-wielder, when at the place of calling he finds it indeed.
8.69.7
उद्यद्ब्र॒ध्नस्य॑ वि॒ष्टपं॑ गृ॒हमिन्द्र॑श्च॒ गन्व॑हि ।
मध्वः॑ पी॒त्वा स॑चेवहि॒ त्रिः स॒प्त सख्युः॑ प॒दे ॥
Indra and I went up toward the lofty abode and home of the strong one; having drunk the sweet soma, we two sat together thrice seven times at the place of the friend.
8.69.8
अर्च॑त॒ प्रार्च॑त॒ प्रिय॑मेधासो॒ अर्च॑त ।
अर्च॑न्तु पुत्र॒का उ॒त पुरं॒ न धृ॒ष्ण्व॑र्चत ॥
Sing praise, sing forth praise, O Priyamedhas, sing praise; let the young sons sing too, and, O bold one, sing praise like a fortress.
8.69.9
अव॑ स्वराति॒ गर्ग॑रो गो॒धा परि॑ सनिष्वणत् ।
पिङ्गा॒ परि॑ चनिष्कद॒दिन्द्रा॑य॒ ब्रह्मोद्य॑तम् ॥
The gargara roars down below, the frog croaks all around; the tawny one leaps about all around, a prayer raised up for Indra.
8.69.10
आ यत्पत॑न्त्ये॒न्यः॑ सु॒दुघा॒ अन॑पस्फुरः ।
अ॒प॒स्फुरं॑ गृभायत॒ सोम॒मिन्द्रा॑य॒ पात॑वे ॥
When they rush down, easily milked, unbound, take up that gushing drop of soma for Indra to drink.
8.69.11
अपा॒दिन्द्रो॒ अपा॑द॒ग्निर्विश्वे॑ दे॒वा अ॑मत्सत॒ वरु॑ण॒ इदि॒ह क्ष॑यत् ।
तमापो॑ अ॒भ्य॑नूषत व॒त्सं सं॒शिश्व॑रीरिव ॥
Indra drank, Agni drank; all the gods rejoiced; here may Varuṇa rule. The waters sounded toward him in gladness, like lowing cows toward their calf.
8.69.12
सु॒दे॒वो अ॑सि वरुण॒ यस्य॑ ते स॒प्त सिन्ध॑वः ।
अ॒नु॒क्षर॑न्ति का॒कुदं॑ सू॒र्म्यं॑ सुषि॒रामि॑व ॥
You are a good god, O Varuṇa, to whom the seven rivers belong; they flow down along your rushing course, like a perforated vessel pouring through.
8.69.13
यो व्यतीँ॒रफा॑णय॒त्सुयु॑क्ताँ॒ उप॑ दा॒शुषे॑ ।
त॒क्वो ने॒ता तदिद्वपु॑रुप॒मा यो अमु॑च्यत ॥
He who loosened the well-yoked reins for the giver — that quick leader, in that very form, was released, as a likeness.
8.69.14
अतीदु॑ श॒क्र ओ॑हत॒ इन्द्रो॒ विश्वा॒ अति॒ द्विषः॑ ।
भि॒नत्क॒नीन॑ ओद॒नं प॒च्यमा॑नं प॒रो गि॒रा ॥
May mighty Indra pass beyond all hostile foes; may he break apart, far off by the song, the rice-gruel being cooked by Kanina.
8.69.15
अ॒र्भ॒को न कु॑मार॒को अधि॑ तिष्ठ॒न्नवं॒ रथ॑म् ।
स प॑क्षन्महि॒षं मृ॒गं पि॒त्रे मा॒त्रे वि॑भु॒क्रतु॑म् ॥
As a little child or young boy stands upon a new chariot, may he obtain the buffalo and the deer for father and mother, for the one who creates great works.
8.69.16
आ तू सु॑शिप्र दम्पते॒ रथं॑ तिष्ठा हिर॒ण्यय॒मध॑ द्यु॒क्षं स॑चेवहि ।
स॒हस्र॑पादमरु॒षं स्व॑स्ति॒गाम॑ने॒हस॑म् ॥
O well-darting one, O lord of the house, indeed stand upon this golden chariot; then may we two join that thousand-footed, ruddy, well-going, unharmed chariot.
8.69.17
तं घे॑मि॒त्था न॑म॒स्विन॒ उप॑ स्व॒राज॑मासते ।
अर्थं॑ चिदस्य॒ सुधि॑तं॒ यदेत॑व आव॒र्तय॑न्ति दा॒वने॑ ॥
Him indeed the humble worshippers thus approach near to self-rule; there is also his well-established purpose, for which they set him in motion again for giving.
8.69.18
अनु॑ प्र॒त्नस्यौक॑सो प्रि॒यमे॑धास एषाम् ।
पूर्वा॒मनु॒ प्रय॑तिं वृ॒क्तब॑र्हिषो हि॒तप्र॑यस आशत ॥
Following the ancient dwelling, these Priyamedhas, following the former course, having turned aside the barhis-grass and bearing favoured offerings, attained it.
