Bibliotheca Polyglotta

1 I HAVE enriched the singer with surpassing wealth; I have allowed the holy hymn to strengthen me. I, furtherer of him who offers sacrifice, have conquered in each fight the men who worship not.

mã́ṃ dhur índaraṃ+ nā́ma devátā diváś ca gmáś ca apã́ṃ ca jantávaḥ |
aháṃ hárī vŕ̥ṣaṇā vívratā raghū́ aháṃ vájraṃ śávase dhr̥ṣṇú ā́ dade ||

2 The People of the heavens, the waters, and the earth have stablished me among the Gods with Indra's name. I took unto myself the two swift vigorous Bays that speed on divers paths, and the fierce bolt for strength.

ahám átkaṃ kaváye śiśnathaṃ háthair aháṃ kútsam · āvam ābhír ūtíbhiḥ |
aháṃ śúṣṇasya śnáthitā vádhar yamaṃ ná yó rará ā́riyaṃ nā́ma dásyave ||

3 With deadly blows I smote Atka for Kavi's sake; I guarded Kutsa well with these saving helps. As Śuṣṇa's slayer I brandished the dart of death: I gave not up the Āryan name to Dasyu foes.

ahám pitéva vetasū́m̐r abhíṣṭaye túgraṃ kútsāya smádibhaṃ ca randhayam |
ahám bhuvaṃ yájamānasya rājáni prá yád bháre tújaye ná priyā́dhŕ̥ṣe ||

4 Smadibha, Tugra, and the Vetasus I gave as prey to Kutsa, father-like, to succour him. I was a worthy King to rule the worshipper, when I gave Tuji dear inviolable gifts.

aháṃ randhayam mŕ̥gayaṃ śrutárvaṇe yán mā́jihīta vayúnā canā́nuṣák |
aháṃ veśáṃ · namrám āyáve 'karam aháṃ sávyāya páḍgr̥bhim arandhayam ||

5 I gave up Mṛgaya to Srutarvan as his prey because he ever followed me and kept my laws. For Āyu's sake I caused Veta to bend and bow, and into Savya's hand delivered Padgrbhi.

aháṃ sá yó návavāstvam br̥hádrathaṃ sáṃ vr̥tréva · dā́saṃ vr̥trahā́rujam |
yád vardháyantam pratháyantam ānuṣág dūré pāré rájaso rocanā́karam ||

6 1, I crushed Navavāstva of the lofty car, the Dāsa, as the Vṛtra-slayer kills the fiends; When straightway on the region's farthest edge I brought the God who makes the lights to broaden and increase.

aháṃ sū́ryasya pári yāmi āśúbhiḥ prá etaśébhir váhamāna ójasā |
yán mā sāvó mánuṣa ā́ha nirṇíja ŕ̥dhak kr̥ṣe · dā́saṃ kŕ̥tviyaṃ háthaiḥ ||

7 I travel round about borne onward in my might by the fleet-footed dappled Horses of the Sun. When man's libation calls me to the robe of state I soon repel the powerful Dasyu with my blows.

aháṃ saptahā́ náhuṣo náhuṣṭaraḥ prā́śrāvayaṃ śávasā turváśaṃ yádum |
aháṃ ní anyáṃ sáhasā sáhas karaṃ náva vrā́dhato navatíṃ ca vakṣayam ||

8 Stronger am I than Nabus, I who slew the seven: I glorified with might Yadu and Turvaga. I brought another low, with strength I bent his strength: I let the mighty nine-and-ninety wax in power.

aháṃ saptá sraváto dhārayaṃ vŕ̥ṣā dravitnúvaḥ pr̥thiviyā́ṃ sīrā́ ádhi |
ahám árṇāṃsi ví tirāmi sukrátur yudhā́ vidam mánave gātúm iṣṭáye ||

9 Bull over all the streams that flow along the earth, I took the Seven Rivers as mine own domain. I, gifted with great wisdom, spread the floods abroad: by war I found for man the way to high success.

aháṃ tád āsu dhārayaṃ yád āsu ná deváś caná tváṣṭā ádhārayad rúśat |
spārháṃ gávām ū́dhassu vakṣáṇāsu ā́ mádhor mádhu śvā́triyaṃ sómam āśíram ||

10 I set within these cows the white milk which no God, not even Tvaṣṭar's self, had there deposited, —Much-longed-for, in the breasts, the udders of the kine, the savoury sweets of meath, the milk and Soma juice.

evā́ devā́m̐ índaro+ viviye nr̥̄́n prá cyautnéna maghávā satyárādhāḥ |
víśvā ít tā́ te harivaḥ śacīvo abhí turā́saḥ svayaśo gr̥ṇanti ||

11 Even thus hath Indra Maghavan, truly bounteous, sped Gods and men with mighty operation. The pious glorify all these thine exploits, Lord of Bay Coursers, Strong, and Selfresplendent.
