Bibliotheca Polyglotta

1 As, like the Morning, thou hast filled, O Indra, both the earth and heaven. So as the Mighty One, great King of all the mighty world of men, the Goddess Mother brought thee forth, the Blessed Mother gave thee life.

áva sma durhaṇāyató mártasya tanuhi sthirám |
adhaspadáṃ tám īṃ kr̥dhi yó asmā́m̐ ādídeśati devī́ jánitry ajījanad bhadrā́ jánitry ajījanat ||

2 Relax that mortal's stubborn strength whose heart is bent on wickedness. Trample him down beneath thy feet who watches for and aims at us. The Goddess Mother brought thee forth, the Blessed Mother gave thee life.

áva tyā́ br̥hatī́r íṣo viśváścandrā amitrahan |
śácībhiḥ śakra dhūnuhi índra víśvābhir ūtíbhir devī́ jánitry ajījanad bhadrā́ jánitry ajījanat ||

3 Shake down, O Slayer of the foe, those great all splendid enemies. With all thy powers, O Śakra, all thine helps, O Indra, shake them down:

áva yát tváṃ śatakratav índra víśvāni dhūnuṣé |
rayíṃ ná sunvaté sácā sahasríṇībhir ūtíbhir devī́ jánitry ajījanad bhadrā́ jánitry ajījanat ||

4 As thou, O Śatakratu, thou, O Indrv, shakest all things down As wealth for him who sheds the juice, with thine assistance thousandfold.

áva svédā ivābhíto víṣvak patantu didyávaḥ |
dū́rvāyā iva tántavo ví asmád etu durmatír devī́ jánitry ajījanad bhadrā́ jánitry ajījanat ||

5 Around, on every side like drops of sweat let lightning-flashes fall. Let all malevolence pass away from us like threads of Darva grass.

dīrgháṃ hí aṅkuśáṃ yathā śáktim bíbharṣi mantumaḥ |
pū́rveṇa maghavan padā́ ajó vayā́ṃ yáthā yamo devī́ jánitry ajījanad bhadrā́ jánitry ajījanat ||

6 Thou bearest in thine hand a lance like a long hook, great Counsellor! As with his foremost foot a goat, draw down the branch, O Maghavan.

nákir devā minīmasi nákir ā́ yopayāmasi |
mantraśrútyaṃ carāmasi pakṣébhir apikakṣébhir átrābhí sáṃ rabhāmahe ||

7 Never, O Gods, do we offend, nor are we ever obstinate: we walk as holy texts command. Closely we clasp and cling to you, cling to your sides, beneath your arms.
