AV 20 51.2
शतानीकेव प्र जिगाति धृष्णुया हन्ति वृत्राणि दाशुषे । गिरेर् इव प्र रसा अस्य पिन्विरे दत्राणि पुरुभोजसः
śatānīkeva pra jigāti dhṛṣṇuyā hanti vṛtrāṇi dāśuṣe | girer iva pra rasā asya pinvire datrāṇi purubhojasaḥ
Like one with a hundred battle-fronts he goes forth boldly; he slays the obstacles for the one who offers. Like the streams from a mountain his gifts have swelled forth, (the gifts) of him who nourishes many.
AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition
Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith
As with a hundred hosts he rushes boldly on, and for the offerer slays his foes. As from a mountain flow the water-brooks, thus flow his gifts who feedeth many a one.
— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1895–96)
AV 20 51.3
प्र सु श्रुतं सुराधसम् अर्चा शक्रम् अभिष्टये । यः सुन्वते स्तुवते काम्यं वसु सहस्रेणेव मंहते
pra su śrutaṃ surādhasam arcā śakram abhiṣṭaye | yaḥ sunvate stuvate kāmyaṃ vasu sahasreṇeva maṃhate
Sing forth indeed to the famed one of good bounty, to the mighty one, for aid — who to the presser, to the praiser, deals out desirable goods as if by the thousand.
AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition
Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith
Sakra I praise, for victory, far-famed, exceeding bountiful. Who gives, as 'twere in thousands, precious wealth to him who sheds the juice and worships him.

AV 20 51.4
शतानीका हेतयो अस्य दुष्टरा इन्द्रस्य समिषो महीः । गिरिर् न भुज्मा मघत्सु पिन्वते यद् ईं सुता अमन्दिषुः
śatānīkā hetayo asya duṣṭarā indrasya samiṣo mahīḥ | girir na bhujmā maghatsu pinvate yad īṃ sutā amandiṣuḥ
Hundred-fronted are his missiles, hard to withstand; great are Indra's assailing forces. Like a nourishing mountain he swells among the bounteous, when the pressed draughts have cheered him.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith
Arrows with hundred points, unconquerable, are this Indra's mighty arms in war. He streams on liberal worshippers like a hill with springs, when juices poured have gladdened him.
