7.23.1
ud u̱ brahmā̍ṇy airata śrava̱syendra̍ṁ sama̱rye ma̍hayā vasiṣṭha |
ā yo viśvā̍ni̱ śava̍sā ta̱tāno̍paśro̱tā ma̱ īva̍to̱ vacā̍ṁsi ||
PRAYERS have been offered up through love of glory: Vasishṭha, honour Indra in the battle. He who with might extends through all existence hears words which I, his faithful servant, utter.
7.23.2
ayā̍mi̱ ghoṣa̍ indra de̱vajā̍mir ira̱jyanta̱ yac chu̱rudho̱ vivā̍ci |
na̱hi svam āyu̍ś ciki̱te jane̍ṣu̱ tānīd aṁhā̱ṁsy ati̍ parṣy a̱smān ||
A cry was raised which reached the Gods, O Indra, a cry to them to send us strength in combat. None among men knows his own life's duration: bear us in safety over these our troubles.
7.23.3
yu̱je ratha̍ṁ ga̱veṣa̍ṇa̱ṁ hari̍bhyā̱m upa̱ brahmā̍ṇi jujuṣā̱ṇam a̍sthuḥ |
vi bā̍dhiṣṭa̱ sya roda̍sī mahi̱tvendro̍ vṛ̱trāṇy a̍pra̱tī ja̍gha̱nvān ||
The Bays, the booty-seeking car I harness: my prayers have reached him who accepts them gladly. Indra, when he had slain resistless foemen, forced with his might the two world-halves asunder.
7.23.4
āpa̍ś cit pipyuḥ sta̱ryo̱3̱̍ na gāvo̱ nakṣa̍nn ṛ̱taṁ ja̍ri̱tāra̍s ta indra |
yā̱hi vā̱yur na ni̱yuto̍ no̱ acchā̱ tvaṁ hi dhī̱bhir daya̍se̱ vi vājā̍n ||
Like barren cows, moreover, swelled the waters: the singen sought thy holy rite, O Indra. Come unto us as with his team comes Vâyu: thou, through our solemn hymns bestowest booty.
7.23.5
te tvā̱ madā̍ indra mādayantu śu̱ṣmiṇa̍ṁ tuvi̱rādha̍saṁ jari̱tre |
eko̍ deva̱trā daya̍se̱ hi martā̍n a̱smiñ chū̍ra̱ sava̍ne mādayasva ||
So may these gladdening draughts rejoice thee, Indra, the Mighty, very bounteous to the singer. Alone among the Gods thou pitiest mortals: O Hero, make thee glad at this libation.
7.23.6
e̱ved indra̱ṁ vṛṣa̍ṇa̱ṁ vajra̍bāhu̱ṁ vasi̍ṣṭhāso a̱bhy a̍rcanty a̱rkaiḥ |
sa na̍ḥ stu̱to vī̱rava̍d dhātu̱ goma̍d yū̱yam pā̍ta sva̱stibhi̱ḥ sadā̍ naḥ ||
Thus the Vasishṭhas glorify with praises Indra, the Powerful whose arm wields thunder. Praised, may he guard our wealth in kine and heroes. Ye Gods, preserve us evermore with blessings.
