RV 10 42.1

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

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

Like an archer shooting far beyond at the lurking game, like one who adorns (him), bring forth the praise-song to him. With speech, O vipras, overcome the speech of the rival; O singer, hold Indra fast at the soma.

RV 10 42.3

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

Why then, O bounteous one, do they call you a giver of enjoyment? Sharpen me; I hear that you are a sharpener. Let my thought be gainful, O able one; bring us, O Indra, the wealth-finding portion.

RV 10 42.4

त्वाꣳ जना ममसत्येष्व् इन्द्र सꣳतस्थाना वि ह्वयन्ते समीके । अत्रा युजꣳ कृणुते यो हविष्मान् नासुन्वता सख्यꣳ वष्टि शूरः

tvāṁ janā mamasatyeṣv indra saṁtasthānā vi hvayante samīke | atrā yujaṁ kṛṇute yo haviṣmān nāsunvatā sakhyaṁ vaṣṭi śūraḥ

You, O Indra, the peoples, drawn up together in the encounter, call to in opposite directions. There the one who has oblation makes (you) his yoke-fellow; the hero does not desire friendship with the man who does not press.

धनꣳ न स्यन्द्रम् बहुलꣳ यो अस्मै तीव्रान् सोमाꣳ आसुनोति प्रयस्वान् । तस्मै शत्रून् सुतुकान् प्रातर् अह्नो नि स्वष्ट्रान् युवति हन्ति वृत्रम्

Whoever, bringing food, presses for him sharp somas, abundant like running wealth — for that man he drives down the swift-rushing, well-...(armed?) foes in the early part of the day, and slays Vṛtra.

Indra, in whom we have placed our praise, the bounteous one who has fastened our desire upon us — let his enemy be afraid, even though far away; let the splendours of the peoples bow down to him.

Thrust the enemy away from us, far off — with that club of yours which is mighty, O much-invoked one. Grant us (wealth) rich in barley and in cattle, O Indra; make the singer's thought one that has prizes for its jewels.

Indra, into whom the sharp somas have entered, pressed by the bull(?), with abundant dregs — never will the bounteous one hold back his gift; he brings much good to the presser.

RV 10 42.9

उत प्रहाम् अतिदीव्या जयाति कृतꣳ यच् छ्वघ्नी विचिनोति काले । यो देवकामो न धना रुणद्धि सम् इत् तꣳ राया सृजति स्वधावान्

uta prahām atidīvyā jayāti kṛtaṁ yac chvaghnī vicinoti kāle | yo devakāmo na dhanā ruṇaddhi sam it taṁ rāyā sṛjati svadhāvān

And he wins the stake by out-playing, as the gambler picks out the winning throw at the right moment. Whoever is desirous of the gods does not hoard riches: the self-reliant one indeed pours wealth upon him.

bṛhaspatir naḥ pari pātu paścād utottarasmād adharād aghāyoḥ | indraḥ purastād uta madhyato naḥ sakhā sakhibhyo varivaḥ kṛṇotu

May Bṛhaspati guard us round about from behind, and from above and from below, from the malicious one. May Indra (guard us) from in front and from the middle; as a friend to friends, may he make wide room.
