7.83.1
yu̱vāṁ na̍rā̱ paśya̍mānāsa̱ āpya̍m prā̱cā ga̱vyanta̍ḥ pṛthu̱parśa̍vo yayuḥ |
dāsā̍ ca vṛ̱trā ha̱tam āryā̍ṇi ca su̱dāsa̍m indrāvaru̱ṇāva̍sāvatam ||
LOOKING to you and your alliance, O ye Men, armed with broad axes they went forward, fain for spoil. Ye smote and slew his Dâsa and his Aryan enemies, and helped Sudâs with favour, Indra-Varuṇa.
7.83.2
yatrā̱ nara̍ḥ sa̱maya̍nte kṛ̱tadhva̍jo̱ yasmi̍nn ā̱jā bhava̍ti̱ kiṁ ca̱na pri̱yam |
yatrā̱ bhaya̍nte̱ bhuva̍nā sva̱rdṛśa̱s tatrā̍ na indrāvaru̱ṇādhi̍ vocatam ||
Where heroes come together with their banners raised, in the encounter where is naught for us to love, Where all things that behold the light are terrified, there did ye comfort us, O Indra-Varuṇa.
7.83.3
sam bhūmyā̱ antā̍ dhvasi̱rā a̍dṛkṣa̱tendrā̍varuṇā di̱vi ghoṣa̱ āru̍hat |
asthu̱r janā̍nā̱m upa̱ mām arā̍tayo̱ 'rvāg ava̍sā havanaśru̱tā ga̍tam ||
The boundaries of earth were seen all dark with dust: O Indra-Varuṇa, the shout went up to heaven. The enmities of the people compassed me about. Ye heard my calling and ye came to me with help.
7.83.4
indrā̍varuṇā va̱dhanā̍bhir apra̱ti bhe̱daṁ va̱nvantā̱ pra su̱dāsa̍m āvatam |
brahmā̍ṇy eṣāṁ śṛṇuta̱ṁ havī̍mani sa̱tyā tṛtsū̍nām abhavat pu̱rohi̍tiḥ ||
With your resistless weapons, Indra-Varuṇa, ye conquered Bheda and ye gave Sudâs your aid. Ye heard the prayers of these amid the cries of war: effectual was the service of the Tṛitsus' priest.
7.83.5
indrā̍varuṇāv a̱bhy ā ta̍panti mā̱ghāny a̱ryo va̱nuṣā̱m arā̍tayaḥ |
yu̱vaṁ hi vasva̍ u̱bhaya̍sya̱ rāja̱tho 'dha̍ smā no 'vata̱m pārye̍ di̱vi ||
O Indra-Varuṇa, the wickedness of foes and mine assailants' hatred sorely trouble me. Ye Twain are Lords of riches both of earth and heaven: so grant to us your aid on the decisive day.
7.83.6
yu̱vāṁ ha̍vanta u̱bhayā̍sa ā̱jiṣv indra̍ṁ ca̱ vasvo̱ varu̍ṇaṁ ca sā̱taye̍ |
yatra̱ rāja̍bhir da̱śabhi̱r nibā̍dhita̱m pra su̱dāsa̱m āva̍ta̱ṁ tṛtsu̍bhiḥ sa̱ha ||
The men of both the hosts invoked you in the fight, Indra and Varuṇa, that they might win the wealth, What time ye helped Sudâs, with all the Tṛitsu folk, when the Ten Kings had pressed him down in their attack.
7.83.7
daśa̱ rājā̍na̱ḥ sami̍tā̱ aya̍jyavaḥ su̱dāsa̍m indrāvaruṇā̱ na yu̍yudhuḥ |
sa̱tyā nṛ̱ṇām a̍dma̱sadā̱m upa̍stutir de̱vā e̍ṣām abhavan de̱vahū̍tiṣu ||
Ten Kings who worshipped not, O Indra-Varuṇa, confederate, in war prevailed not o'er Sudâs. True was the boast of heroes sitting at the feast: so at their invocations Gods were on their side.
7.83.8
dā̱śa̱rā̱jñe pari̍yattāya vi̱śvata̍ḥ su̱dāsa̍ indrāvaruṇāv aśikṣatam |
śvi̱tyañco̱ yatra̱ nama̍sā kapa̱rdino̍ dhi̱yā dhīva̍nto̱ asa̍panta̱ tṛtsa̍vaḥ ||
O Indra-Varuṇa, ye gave Sudâs your aid when the Ten Kings in battle compassed him about, There where the white-robed Tṛitsus with their braided hair, skilled in song worshipped you with homage and with hymn.
7.83.9
vṛ̱trāṇy a̱nyaḥ sa̍mi̱theṣu̱ jighna̍te vra̱tāny a̱nyo a̱bhi ra̍kṣate̱ sadā̍ |
havā̍mahe vāṁ vṛṣaṇā suvṛ̱ktibhi̍r a̱sme i̍ndrāvaruṇā̱ śarma̍ yacchatam ||
One of you Twain destroys the Vṛitras in the fight, the Other evermore maintains his holy Laws. We call on you, ye Mighty, with our hymns of praise. Vouchsafe us your protection, Indra-Varuṇa.
7.83.10
a̱sme indro̱ varu̍ṇo mi̱tro a̍rya̱mā dyu̱mnaṁ ya̍cchantu̱ mahi̱ śarma̍ sa̱pratha̍ḥ |
a̱va̱dhraṁ jyoti̱r adi̍ter ṛtā̱vṛdho̍ de̱vasya̱ śloka̍ṁ savi̱tur ma̍nāmahe ||
May Indra, Varuṇa, Mitra, and Aryaman vouchsafe us glory and great shelter spreading far. We think of the beneficent light of Aditi, and Savitar's song of praise, the God who strengthens Law.
