sá dundubhe sajū́r índreṇa deváir dūrā́d dávīyo ápa sedha śátrūn ||1||
Blast thou unto heaven and earth; in many places let them win for thee the scattered living creatures (jágat); do thou, O drum, allied with Indra [and] the gods, drive away our foes further than far.
6.126.2
ā́ krandaya bálam ójo na ā́ dhā abhí ṣṭana duritā́ bā́dhamānaḥ |
ápa sedha dundubhe duchúnām itá índrasya muṣṭír asi vīḍáyasva ||2||
Resound thou at [them]; mayest thou assign strength [and] force to us; thunder against [them], forcing off difficulties; drive, O drum, misfortune away from here; Indra's fist art thou; be stout.
6.126.3
prā́mū́ṃ jayābhī́mé jayantu ketumád dundubhír vāvadītu |
sám áśvaparṇāḥ patantu no náro 'smā́kam indra rathíno jayantu ||3||
Conquer thou those yonder; let these here conquer; let the drum speak loud ⌊vāvad-⌋ [and] clear; let our horse-winged heroes fly together; let our chariot-men, O Indra, conquer.
