8.99.1
tvām i̱dā hyo naro 'pī̍pyan vajri̱n bhūrṇa̍yaḥ |
sa i̍ndra̱ stoma̍vāhasām i̱ha śru̱dhy upa̱ svasa̍ra̱m ā ga̍hi ||
O THUNDERER, zealous worshippers gave thee drink this time yesterday. So, Indra, listen here to those who bring the laud: come near unto our dwellingplace.
8.99.2
matsvā̍ suśipra hariva̱s tad ī̍mahe̱ tve ā bhū̍ṣanti ve̱dhasa̍ḥ |
tava̱ śravā̍ṁsy upa̱māny u̱kthyā̍ su̱teṣv i̍ndra girvaṇaḥ ||
Lord of Bay Steeds, fair-helmed, rejoice thee: this we crave. Here the disposers wait on thee. Thy loftiest glories claim our lauds beside the juice, O Indra, Lover of the Song.
8.99.3
śrāya̍nta iva̱ sūrya̱ṁ viśved indra̍sya bhakṣata |
vasū̍ni jā̱te jana̍māna̱ oja̍sā̱ prati̍ bhā̱gaṁ na dī̍dhima ||
Turning, as 'twere, to meet the Sun, enjoy from Indra all good things. When he who will be born is born with power we look to treasures as our heritage.
8.99.4
ana̍rśarātiṁ vasu̱dām upa̍ stuhi bha̱drā indra̍sya rā̱taya̍ḥ |
so a̍sya̱ kāma̍ṁ vidha̱to na ro̍ṣati̱ mano̍ dā̱nāya̍ co̱daya̍n ||
Praise him who sends us wealth, whose bounties injure none: good are the gifts which Indra grants. He is not worth with one who satisfies his wish: he turns his mind to giving boons.
8.99.5
tvam i̍ndra̱ pratū̍rtiṣv a̱bhi viśvā̍ asi̱ spṛdha̍ḥ |
a̱śa̱sti̱hā ja̍ni̱tā vi̍śva̱tūr a̍si̱ tvaṁ tū̍rya taruṣya̱taḥ ||
Thou in thy battles, Indra, art subduer of all hostile bands. Father art thou, all-conquering, cancelling the curse, thou victor of the vanquisher.
8.99.6
anu̍ te̱ śuṣma̍ṁ tu̱raya̍ntam īyatuḥ kṣo̱ṇī śiśu̱ṁ na mā̱tarā̍ |
viśvā̍s te̱ spṛdha̍ḥ śnathayanta ma̱nyave̍ vṛ̱traṁ yad i̍ndra̱ tūrva̍si ||
The Earth and Heaven clung close to thy victorious might as to their calf two mother-cows. When thou attackest Vritra all the hostile bands shrink and faint, Indra, at thy wrath.
8.99.7
i̱ta ū̱tī vo̍ a̱jara̍m prahe̱tāra̱m apra̍hitam |
ā̱śuṁ jetā̍ra̱ṁ hetā̍raṁ ra̱thīta̍ma̱m atū̍rtaṁ tugryā̱vṛdha̍m ||
Bring to your aid the Eternal One, who shoots and none may shoot at him, Inciter, swift, victorious, best of Charioteers, Tugrya’s unvanquished Strengthener;
8.99.8
i̱ṣka̱rtāra̱m ani̍ṣkṛta̱ṁ saha̍skṛtaṁ śa̱tamū̍tiṁ śa̱takra̍tum |
sa̱mā̱nam indra̱m ava̍se havāmahe̱ vasa̍vānaṁ vasū̱juva̍m ||
Arranger of things unarranged, e’en Ṣatakratu, source of might, Indra, the Friend of all, for succour we invoke, Guardian of treasure, sending wealth.
