7.28.1
brahmā̍ ṇa i̱ndropa̍ yāhi vi̱dvān a̱rvāñca̍s te̱ hara̍yaḥ santu yu̱ktāḥ |
viśve̍ ci̱d dhi tvā̍ vi̱hava̍nta̱ martā̍ a̱smāka̱m ic chṛ̍ṇuhi viśvaminva ||
COME to our prayers, O Indra, thou who knowest: let thy Bay Steeds be yoked and guided hither. Though mortal men on every side invoke thee, still give thine ear to us, O All-impeller.
7.28.2
hava̍ṁ ta indra mahi̱mā vy ā̍na̱ḍ brahma̱ yat pāsi̍ śavasi̱nn ṛṣī̍ṇām |
ā yad vajra̍ṁ dadhi̱ṣe hasta̍ ugra gho̱raḥ san kratvā̍ janiṣṭhā̱ aṣā̍ḻhaḥ ||
Thy greatness reacheth to our invocation, the sages' prayer which, Potent God, thou guardest. What time thy hand, O Mighty, holds the thunder, awful in strength thou hast become resistless.
7.28.3
tava̱ praṇī̍tīndra̱ johu̍vānā̱n saṁ yan nṝn na roda̍sī ni̱netha̍ |
ma̱he kṣa̱trāya̱ śava̍se̱ hi ja̱jñe 'tū̍tujiṁ ci̱t tūtu̍jir aśiśnat ||
What time thou drewest both world-halves together, like heroes led by thee who call each other- For thou wast born for strength and high dominion-then e'en the active overthrew the sluggish.
7.28.4
e̱bhir na̍ i̱ndrāha̍bhir daśasya durmi̱trāso̱ hi kṣi̱taya̱ḥ pava̍nte |
prati̱ yac caṣṭe̱ anṛ̍tam ane̱nā ava̍ dvi̱tā varu̍ṇo mā̱yī na̍ḥ sāt ||
Honour us in these present days, O Indra, for hostile men are making expiation. Our sin that sinless Varuṇa discovered, the Wondrous-Wise hath long ago forgiven.
7.28.5
vo̱cemed indra̍m ma̱ghavā̍nam enam ma̱ho rā̱yo rādha̍so̱ yad dada̍n naḥ |
yo arca̍to̱ brahma̍kṛti̱m avi̍ṣṭho yū̱yam pā̍ta sva̱stibhi̱ḥ sadā̍ naḥ ||
We will address this liberal Lord, this Indra, that he may grant us gifts of ample riches, Best favourer of the singer's prayer and praises. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
