Atharvaveda Samhita — Kanda 20 — Chapter 89

AV 20 89.1

अस्तेव सु प्रतरं लायम् अस्यन् भूषन्न् इव प्र भरा स्तोमम् अस्मै । वाचा विप्रास् तरत वाचम् अर्यो नि रामय जरितः सोम इन्द्रम्

asteva su prataraṃ lāyam asyan bhūṣann iva pra bharā stomam asmai | vācā viprās tarata vācam aryo ni rāmaya jaritaḥ soma indram

Like an archer shooting his shaft still further, bring forth the praise-song to him as one who adorns (it). O inspired ones, with your speech surpass the speech of the rival; O singer, bring Indra to rest with the soma.

With the milking seek to win the cow, (your) friend; awaken, O singer, Indra the lover. Like a full vessel crammed with goods, set the hero in motion for the giving of bounty.

AV 20 89.3

किम् अङ्ग त्वा मघवन् भोजम् आहुः शिशीहि मा शिशयं त्वा शृणोमि । अप्नस्वती मम धीर् अस्तु शक्र वसुविदं भगम् इन्द्रा भरा नः

kim aṅga tvā maghavan bhojam āhuḥ śiśīhi mā śiśayaṃ tvā śṛṇomi | apnasvatī mama dhīr astu śakra vasuvidaṃ bhagam indrā bharā naḥ

Why indeed, O bounteous one, do they call you a giver of enjoyment? Sharpen me — I hear that you are one who sharpens. Let my thought be productive, O Śakra; bring us, O Indra, the wealth-finding portion.

AV 20 89.4

त्वां जना ममसत्येष्व् इन्द्र संतस्थाना वि ह्वयन्ते समीके । अत्रा युजं कृणुते यो हविष्मान् नासुन्वता सख्यं वष्टि शूरः

tvāṃ janā mamasatyeṣv indra saṃtasthānā vi hvayante samīke | atrā yujaṃ kṛṇute yo haviṣmān nāsunvatā sakhyaṃ vaṣṭi śūraḥ

You, O Indra, the peoples, standing together in the encounter, call upon in disputes over possessions. There he who has an oblation makes (you) his yoke-fellow; the hero does not want friendship with the one who does not press (soma).

He who, bringing refreshment, presses out for him the sharp somas, abundant like rich wealth — for him, at the dawn of the day, he pushes down the swift-... foes and slays Vṛtra.

Indra, whom within the bull-strong pressings, the sharp somas with abundant ... , have driven forward — the bounteous one will surely not hold back his gift; he brings much that is good to the presser.

uta prahām atidīvā jayati kṛtam iva śvaghnī vi cinoti kāle | yo devakāmo na dhanaṃ ruṇaddhi sam it taṃ rāyaḥ sṛjati svadhābhiḥ

And the one who out-plays wins the stake; like the gambler he picks out the winning throw at the right moment. He who, loving the gods, does not hold back his wealth — riches indeed unite with him by their own power.

May Bṛhaspati guard us from behind, and from above, from below, against the malicious one; may Indra (guard) us from in front and from the middle; as a friend let him make wider room for his friends.
