20.55.1
tám índraṃ johavīmi maghávānam ugráṃ satrā́ dádhānam ápratiṣkutaṃ śávāṃsi |
máṃhiṣṭho gīrbhír ā́ ca yajñíyo vavártad rāyé no víśvā supáthā kr̥ṇotu vajrī́ ||1||
Oft, oft I call that Indra, Maghavan the mighty, who evermore possesses power, ever resistless.
Holy, most liberal, may he lead us on to riches, and, thunder armed, make all our pathways pleasant for us.
20.55.2
yā́ indra bhúja ā́bharaḥ svárvām̐ ásurebhyaḥ |
stotā́ram ín maghavann asya vardhaya yé ca tvé vr̥ktábarhiṣaḥ ||2||
Indra, what joys as Lord of Light thou broughtest from the
Asuras,
Prosper therewith, O Maghavan, him who lauds that deed, and those whose grass is trimmed for thee.
20.55.3
yám indra dadhiṣé tvám áśvaṃ gā́ṃ bhāgám ávyayam |
yájamāne sunvatí dákṣiṇāvati tásmin táṃ dhehi mā́ paṇáu ||3||
The wasteless share of steeds and kine which, Indra, thou hast fast secured.
Grant to the worshipper who presses Soma and gives guerdon, not unto the churl.
