Bibliotheca Polyglotta

1 THIS Soma hath been pressed for thee, O Indra: come hither, Lord of Bays, for this thou lovest. Drink of this fair, this well-effused libation: Maghavan, give us wealth when we implore thee.

bráhman vīra bráhmakr̥tiṃ juṣāṇó arvācīnó háribhir yāhi tū́yam |
asmínn ū ṣú sávane mādayasva úpa bráhmāṇi śr̥ṇava imā́ naḥ ||

2 Come to us quickly with thy Bay Steeds, Hero, come to our prayer, accepting our devotion. Enjoy thyself aright at this libation, and listen thou unto the prayers we offer.

kā́ te asti áraṃkr̥tiḥ suuktaíḥ kadā́ nūnáṃ te maghavan dāśema |
víśvā matī́r ā́ tatane tuvāyā́ ádhā ma indra śr̥ṇavo hávemā́ ||

3 What satisfaction do our hymns afford thee? When, Maghavan? Now let us do thee service. Hymns, only hymns, with love for thee, I weave thee: then hear, O Indra, these mine invocations.

utó ghā té puruṣíyā íd āsan yéṣām pū́rveṣām áśr̥ṇor ŕ̥ṣīṇām |
ádhāháṃ tvā maghavañ johavīmi tváṃ na indrāsi prámatiḥ pitéva ||

4 They, verily, were also human beings whom thou wast wont to hear, those earlier sages. Hence I, O Indra Maghavan, invoke thee: thou art our Providence, even as a Father.

vocéméd índram maghávānam enam mahó rāyó rā́dhaso yád dádan naḥ |
yó árcato bráhmakr̥tim áviṣṭho yūyám pāta suastíbhiḥ sádā naḥ ||

5 We will address this liberal Lord, this Indra, that he may grant us gifts of ample riches, Best favourer of the singer's prayer and praises. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
