8.70.1
यो राजा॑ चर्षणी॒नां याता॒ रथे॑भि॒रध्रि॑गुः ।
विश्वा॑सां तरु॒ता पृत॑नानां॒ ज्येष्ठो॒ यो वृ॑त्र॒हा गृ॒णे ॥
I praise him who is king of the moving peoples, who advances with chariots, the fearless one, the helper in all battles, the foremost, the slayer of Vṛtra.
8.70.2
इन्द्रं॒ तं शु॑म्भ पुरुहन्म॒न्नव॑से॒ यस्य॑ द्वि॒ता वि॑ध॒र्तरि॑ ।
हस्ता॑य॒ वज्रः॒ प्रति॑ धायि दर्श॒तो म॒हो दि॒वे न सूर्यः॑ ॥
O you who are invoked by many, adorn that Indra, whose two arms are able to bear; the thunderbolt has been placed in his hand, radiant and great like the sun for the sky.
8.70.3
नकि॒ष्टं कर्म॑णा नश॒त्यश्च॒कार॑ स॒दावृ॑धम् ।
इन्द्रं॒ न य॒ज्ञैर्वि॒श्वगू॑र्त॒मृभ्व॑स॒मधृ॑ष्टं धृ॒ष्ण्वो॑जसम् ॥
No one may destroy by deed him who has made Indra, the ever-strengthening; by sacrifices he attains the one like Indra, all-formed, skilled, unassailable, mighty-strong.
8.70.4
अषा॑ळ्हमु॒ग्रं पृत॑नासु सास॒हिं यस्मि॑न्म॒हीरु॑रु॒ज्रयः॑ ।
सं धे॒नवो॒ जाय॑माने अनोनवु॒र्द्यावः॒ क्षामो॑ अनोनवुः ॥
In whom, the unconquerable, fierce conqueror of battles, at his birth the great wide worlds and the cows bellowed together; heaven and earth bellowed.
8.70.5
यद्द्याव॑ इन्द्र ते श॒तं श॒तं भूमी॑रु॒त स्युः ।
न त्वा॑ वज्रिन्त्स॒हस्रं॒ सूर्या॒ अनु॒ न जा॒तम॑ष्ट॒ रोद॑सी ॥
O Indra, even if there were a hundred heavens and a hundred earths belonging to you, O wielder of the bolt, and a thousand suns born after you, the two worlds would not have reached you.
8.70.6
आ प॑प्राथ महि॒ना वृष्ण्या॑ वृष॒न्विश्वा॑ शविष्ठ॒ शव॑सा ।
अ॒स्माँ अ॑व मघव॒न्गोम॑ति व्र॒जे वज्रि॑ञ्चि॒त्राभि॑रू॒तिभिः॑ ॥
You have filled all things with greatness and manly vigor, O bull, O most mighty. Bountiful one, O wielder of the bolt, protect us in the cow-rich pen with bright protections.
8.70.7
न सी॒मदे॑व आप॒दिषं॑ दीर्घायो॒ मर्त्यः॑ ।
एत॑ग्वा चि॒द्य एत॑शा यु॒योज॑ते॒ हरी॒ इन्द्रो॑ यु॒योज॑ते ॥
The mortal without the gods does not attain nourishment, O long-lived one; but Indra yokes his two bay horses for him who yokes the two swift-going steeds.
8.70.8
तं वो॑ म॒हो म॒हाय्य॒मिन्द्रं॑ दा॒नाय॑ स॒क्षणि॑म् ।
यो गा॒धेषु॒ य आर॑णेषु॒ हव्यो॒ वाजे॒ष्वस्ति॒ हव्यः॑ ॥
Honor that great, worthy Indra, the helper for giving; he who is to be invoked in the gādha-contests and the āraṇa-contests, he is to be invoked in the contests for prizes.
8.70.9
उदू॒ षु णो॑ वसो म॒हे मृ॒शस्व॑ शूर॒ राध॑से ।
उदू॒ षु म॒ह्यै म॑घवन्म॒घत्त॑य॒ उदि॑न्द्र॒ श्रव॑से म॒हे ॥
O Vasu, lift us up and show favor for great welfare; O hero, for wealth; O Maghavan, lift us up for our great wealth; O Indra, lift us up for great fame.
8.70.10
त्वं न॑ इन्द्र ऋत॒युस्त्वा॒निदो॒ नि तृ॑म्पसि ।
मध्ये॑ वसिष्व तुविनृम्णो॒र्वोर्नि दा॒सं शि॑श्नथो॒ हथैः॑ ॥
You, O Indra, seeking order for us, crush your own adversaries; O of many powers, dwell in the middle; between the two wide ones you press down the enemy with your blows.
8.70.11
अ॒न्यव्र॑त॒ममा॑नुष॒मय॑ज्वान॒मदे॑वयुम् ।
अव॒ स्वः सखा॑ दुधुवीत॒ पर्व॑तः सु॒घ्नाय॒ दस्युं॒ पर्व॑तः ॥
Him of irregular law, not human, not sacrificing, not devoted to the gods, may his friend the mountain cast down; for the slaying, may the mountain cast down the Dasyu.
8.70.12
त्वं न॑ इन्द्रासां॒ हस्ते॑ शविष्ठ दा॒वने॑ ।
धा॒नानां॒ न सं गृ॑भायास्म॒युर्द्विः सं गृ॑भायास्म॒युः ॥
You, O Indra, O most mighty, place wealth in the hand of these for giving; grasp everything for us as grain is gathered; you who desire us, twice grasp us completely.
8.70.13
सखा॑यः॒ क्रतु॑मिच्छत क॒था रा॑धाम श॒रस्य॒ उप॑स्तुतिम् ।
भो॒जः सू॒रिर्यो अह्र॑यः ॥
Friends, seek your purpose: how shall we win the praise sung by Śara? So too the generous patron and the lord who are the Ahrayas.
8.70.14
भूरि॑भिः समह॒ ऋषि॑भिर्ब॒र्हिष्म॑द्भि स्तविष्यसे ।
यदि॒त्थमेक॑मेक॒मिच्शर॑ व॒त्सान्प॑रा॒ददः॑ ॥
You shall be praised together with many seers and with those who spread the sacred grass. Thus, O Śara, one by one, you gave away the calves.
8.70.15
क॒र्ण॒गृह्या॑ म॒घवा॑ शौरदे॒व्यो व॒त्सं न॑स्त्रि॒भ्य आन॑यत् ।
अ॒जां सू॒रिर्न धात॑वे ॥
The bountiful son of Śuradeva, with an ear-gift, brought us a calf for the three, as a protector brings a goat to suckle.
