10.49.1
a̱haṁ dā̍ṁ gṛṇa̱te pūrvya̱ṁ vasv a̱ham brahma̍ kṛṇava̱m mahya̱ṁ vardha̍nam |
a̱ham bhu̍va̱ṁ yaja̍mānasya codi̱tāya̍jvanaḥ sākṣi̱ viśva̍smi̱n bhare̍ ||
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.
10.49.2
māṁ dhu̱r indra̱ṁ nāma̍ de̱vatā̍ di̱vaś ca̱ gmaś cā̱pāṁ ca̍ ja̱ntava̍ḥ |
a̱haṁ harī̱ vṛṣa̍ṇā̱ vivra̍tā ra̱ghū a̱haṁ vajra̱ṁ śava̍se dhṛ̱ṣṇv ā da̍de ||
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.
10.49.3
a̱ham atka̍ṁ ka̱vaye̍ śiśnatha̱ṁ hathai̍r a̱haṁ kutsa̍m āvam ā̱bhir ū̱tibhi̍ḥ |
a̱haṁ śuṣṇa̍sya̱ śnathi̍tā̱ vadha̍r yama̱ṁ na yo ra̱ra ārya̱ṁ nāma̱ dasya̍ve ||
With deadly blows I smote Atka for Kavi's sake; I guarded Kutsa well with these saving helps. As Ṣushṇa's slayer I brandished the dart of death: I gave not up the Aryan name to Dasyu foes.
10.49.4
a̱ham pi̱teva̍ veta̱sūm̐r a̱bhiṣṭa̍ye̱ tugra̱ṁ kutsā̍ya̱ smadi̍bhaṁ ca randhayam |
a̱ham bhu̍va̱ṁ yaja̍mānasya rā̱jani̱ pra yad bhare̱ tuja̍ye̱ na pri̱yādhṛṣe̍ ||
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.
10.49.5
a̱haṁ ra̍ndhaya̱m mṛga̍yaṁ śru̱tarva̍ṇe̱ yan māji̍hīta va̱yunā̍ ca̱nānu̱ṣak |
a̱haṁ ve̱śaṁ na̱mram ā̱yave̍ 'karam a̱haṁ savyā̍ya̱ paḍgṛ̍bhim arandhayam ||
I gave up Mṛigaya to Ṣrutarvan as his prey because he ever followed me and kept my laws. For Âyu's sake I caused Veta to bend and bow, and into Savya's hand delivered Paḍgṛibhi.
10.49.6
a̱haṁ sa yo nava̍vāstvam bṛ̱hadra̍tha̱ṁ saṁ vṛ̱treva̱ dāsa̍ṁ vṛtra̱hāru̍jam |
yad va̱rdhaya̍ntam pra̱thaya̍ntam ānu̱ṣag dū̱re pā̱re raja̍so roca̱nāka̍ram ||
I, I crushed Navavâstva of the lofty car, the Dâsa, as the Vṛitra-slayer kills the fiends; When straightway on the region's farthest edge I brought the God who makes the lights to broaden and increase.
10.49.7
a̱haṁ sūrya̍sya̱ pari̍ yāmy ā̱śubhi̱ḥ praita̱śebhi̱r vaha̍māna̱ oja̍sā |
yan mā̍ sā̱vo manu̍ṣa̱ āha̍ ni̱rṇija̱ ṛdha̍k kṛṣe̱ dāsa̱ṁ kṛtvya̱ṁ hathai̍ḥ ||
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.
10.49.8
a̱haṁ sa̍pta̱hā nahu̍ṣo̱ nahu̍ṣṭara̱ḥ prāśrā̍vaya̱ṁ śava̍sā tu̱rvaśa̱ṁ yadu̍m |
a̱haṁ ny a1̱̍nyaṁ saha̍sā̱ saha̍s kara̱ṁ nava̱ vrādha̍to nava̱tiṁ ca̍ vakṣayam ||
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.
10.49.9
a̱haṁ sa̱pta sra̱vato̍ dhāraya̱ṁ vṛṣā̍ dravi̱tnva̍ḥ pṛthi̱vyāṁ sī̱rā adhi̍ |
a̱ham arṇā̍ṁsi̱ vi ti̍rāmi su̱kratu̍r yu̱dhā vi̍da̱m mana̍ve gā̱tum i̱ṣṭaye̍ ||
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.
10.49.10
a̱haṁ tad ā̍su dhāraya̱ṁ yad ā̍su̱ na de̱vaś ca̱na tvaṣṭādhā̍raya̱d ruśa̍t |
spā̱rhaṁ gavā̱m ūdha̍ḥsu va̱kṣaṇā̱sv ā madho̱r madhu̱ śvātrya̱ṁ soma̍m ā̱śira̍m ||
I set within these cows the white milk which no God, not even Tvashṭar'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.
10.49.11
e̱vā de̱vām̐ indro̍ vivye̱ nṝn pra cyau̱tnena̍ ma̱ghavā̍ sa̱tyarā̍dhāḥ |
viśvet tā te̍ harivaḥ śacīvo̱ 'bhi tu̱rāsa̍ḥ svayaśo gṛṇanti ||
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.
