1 SURYA, thou mountest up to meet the Hero famous for his wealth, Who hurls the bolt and works for man

náva yó navatím púro bibhéda bāhúojasā |
áhiṃ ca vr̥trahā́vadhīt ||

2 Him who with might of both his arms brake nine-and-ninety castles down, Slew Vṛtra and smote Ahi dead.

6 Thou, Indra, goest unto all Soma libations shed for thee, Both far away and near at hand.

7 We make this Indra very strong to strike the mighty Vṛtra dead: A vigorous Hero shall he be.

8 Indra was made for giving, set, most mighty, o’er the joyous draught. Bright, meet for Soma, famed in song.

girā́ vájro ná sámbhr̥taḥ sábalo ánapacyutaḥ |
vavakṣá r̥ṣvó ástr̥taḥ ||

9 By song as ’twere, the powerful bolt which none may parry was prepared Lofty, invincible he grew.

durgé cin naḥ sugáṃ kr̥dhi gr̥ṇāná indra girvaṇaḥ |
tuváṃ ca maghavan váśaḥ ||

10 Indra, Song-lover, lauded, make even in the wilds fair ways for us, Whenever, Maghavan, thou wilt.

yásya te nū́ cid ādíśaṃ ná minánti svarā́jiyam |
ná devó nā́dhrigur jánaḥ ||

11 Thou whose commandment and behest of sovran sway none disregards, Neither audacious man nor God.

ví yád áher ádha tviṣó víśve devā́so ákramuḥ |
vidán mr̥gásya tā́m̐ ámaḥ ||

ájātaśatrur ástr̥taḥ ||
