Bibliotheca Polyglotta

1 GREAT is this might of yours, Indra and Soma: the first high exploits were your own achievements. Ye found the Sun ye found the light of heaven: ye killed all darkness and the Gods’ blasphemers.

índrāsomā vāsáyatha uṣā́sam út sū́riyaṃ nayatho jyótiṣā sahá |
úpa dyã́ṃ skambháthu skámbhanena áprathatam pr̥thivī́m mātáraṃ ví ||

2 Ye, Indra-Soma, gave her light to Morning, and led the Sun on high with all his splendour. Ye stayed the heaven with a supporting pillar, and spread abroad apart, the Earth, the Mother.

índrāsomāv áhim apáḥ pariṣṭhā́ṃ hathó vr̥trám ánu vāṃ dyaúr amanyata |
prá árṇāṃsi airayataṃ nadī́nām ā́ samudrā́ṇi paprathuḥ purū́ṇi ||

3 Ye slew the flood -obstructing serpent Vṛtra, Indra and Soma: Heaven approved your exploit. Ye urged to speed the currents of the rivers, and many seas have ye filled full with waters.

índrāsomā pakvám āmā́su antár ní gávām íd dadhathur vakṣáṇāsu |
jagr̥bháthur ánapinaddham āsu rúśac citrā́su jágatīṣu antáḥ ||

4 Ye in the unripe udders of the milch-kine have set the ripe milk, Indra, thou, and Soma. Ye have held fast the unimpeded whiteness within these many-coloured moving creatures.

índrāsomā yuvám aṅgá tárutram apatyasā́caṃ śrútiyaṃ rarāthe |
yuváṃ śúṣmaṃ náriyaṃ carṣaṇíbhyaḥ sáṃ vivyathuḥ pr̥tanāṣā́ham ugrā ||

5 Verily ye bestow, Indra and Soma, wealth, famed, victorious, passing to our children. Ye have invested men, ye Mighty Beings, with manly strength that conquers in the battle.
