1.23.214

आ꣢ व꣣ इ꣢न्द्र꣣ कृ꣢विं꣣ य꣡था꣢ वाज꣣य꣡न्तः꣢ श꣣त꣡क्र꣢तुम् ।
म꣡ꣳहि꣢ष्ठꣳसिञ्च꣣ इ꣡न्दु꣢भिः ॥ २१४ ॥

As those who desire strength draw near to Indra, the seer of a hundred powers, so we sprinkle the most bounteous one with the drops of Soma.

अ꣡त꣢श्चिदिन्द्र न꣣ उ꣡पा या꣢꣯हि श꣣त꣡वा꣢जया ।
इ꣣षा꣢ स꣣ह꣡स्र꣢वाजया ॥ २१५ ॥

Therefore, O Indra, come near to us with a hundred strengths, with nourishment, with a thousand strengths.

आ꣢ बु꣣न्दं꣡ वृ꣢त्र꣣हा꣡ द꣢दे जा꣣तः꣡ पृ꣢च्छ꣣द्वि꣢ मा꣣त꣡र꣢म् ।
क꣢ उ꣣ग्राः꣡ के ह꣢꣯ शृण्विरे ॥ २१६ ॥

The slayer of Vṛtra seized the base; born, he asked his mother: who are the fierce ones, and who indeed have been heard of?

बृ꣣ब꣡दु꣢क्थꣳहवामहे सृ꣣प्र꣡क꣢रस्नमू꣣त꣡ये꣢ ।
सा꣡धः꣢ कृ꣣ण्व꣢न्त꣣म꣡व꣢से ॥ २१७ ॥

With great hymns we call upon the open-handed one, who accomplishes all, for protection, for help.

ऋ꣣जुनीती꣢ नो꣣ व꣡रु꣢णो मि꣣त्रो꣡ न꣢यति वि꣣द्वा꣢न् ।
अ꣣र्यमा꣢ दे꣣वैः꣢ स꣣जो꣡षाः꣢ ॥ २१८ ॥

Upon the straight path Varuṇa and Mitra, who know, lead us; Aryaman, united with the gods in delight, [guides us].

दू꣣रा꣢दि꣣हे꣢व꣣ य꣢त्स꣣तो꣢ऽरु꣣ण꣢प्सु꣣र꣡शि꣢श्वितत् ।
वि꣢ भा꣣नुं꣢ वि꣣श्व꣡था꣢तनत् ॥ २१९ ॥

As though from afar yet here, when the rosy-formed one of the true shone forth, she spread her radiance everywhere.

आ꣡ नो꣢ मित्रावरुणा घृ꣣तै꣡र्गव्यू꣢꣯तिमुक्षतम् ।
म꣢ध्वा꣣ र꣡जा꣢ꣳसि सुक्रतू ॥ २२० ॥

Come to us, Mitra and Varuṇa, sprinkle our wide pasture with ghee; sprinkle the realms with sweetness, you of good intent.

उ꣢दु꣣ त्ये꣢ सू꣣न꣢वो꣣ गि꣢रः꣣ का꣡ष्ठा꣢ य꣣ज्ञे꣡ष्व꣢त्नत ।
वा꣣श्रा꣡ अ꣢भि꣣ज्ञु꣡ यात꣢꣯वे ॥ २२१ ॥

Those sons raise up the songs; in the sacrifices they stretch them to the far quarters, like lowing cattle eager to go down on their knees.

इ꣣दं꣢꣫ विष्णु꣣र्व꣡ च꣢क्रमे त्रे꣣धा꣡ नि द꣢꣯धे प꣣द꣢म् ।
स꣡मू꣢ढमस्य पाꣳसु꣣ले꣢ ॥ २२२ ॥

Viṣṇu strode out across this (world); in three ways he set down his step. In its dust the whole of it is gathered.
