अच्छा म इन्द्रम् मतयः स्वर्विदः सध्रीचीर् विश्वा उशतीर् अनूषत । परि ष्वजन्ते जनयो यथा पतिम् मर्यꣳ न शुन्ध्युम् मघवानम् ऊतये

acchā ma indram matayaḥ svarvidaḥ sadhrīcīr viśvā uśatīr anūṣata | pari ṣvajante janayo yathā patim maryaṁ na śundhyum maghavānam ūtaye

Toward my Indra the thoughts that find the sun, all of them, converging and eager, have sung out. They embrace (him) as wives their husband, the bounteous one, like a fair young man, for help.

My mind does not turn away from you; on you alone, O much-invoked one, have I fixed my desire. Like a king, O wondrous one, sit down upon the barhis; let your drinking be at this soma here.

RV 10 43.3

विषूवृद् इन्द्रो अमतेर् उत क्षुधः स इद् रायो मघवा वस्व ईशते । तस्येद् इमे प्रवणे सप्त सिन्धवो वयो वर्धन्ति वृषभस्य शुष्मिणः

viṣūvṛd indro amater uta kṣudhaḥ sa id rāyo maghavā vasva īśate | tasyed ime pravaṇe sapta sindhavo vayo vardhanti vṛṣabhasya śuṣmiṇaḥ

Indra is the one who turns aside destitution and hunger; he, the bounteous, has power over riches and goods. These seven rivers on the slope increase his vital force, the force of the bull full of vigour.

RV 10 43.4

वयो न वृक्षꣳ सुपलाशम् आसदन् सोमास इन्द्रम् मन्दिनश् चमूषदः । प्रैषाम् अनीकꣳ शवसा दविद्युतद् विदत् स्व१र् मनवे ज्योतिर् आर्यम्

vayo na vṛkṣaṁ supalāśam āsadan somāsa indram mandinaś camūṣadaḥ | praiṣām anīkaṁ śavasā davidyutad vidat sva1r manave jyotir āryam

Like birds settling on a fair-leaved tree, the gladdening somas, sitting in the bowls, (have gone) to Indra. Their front, flashing forth with power, found the sun for Manu, the Aryan light.

RV 10 43.5

कृतꣳ न श्वघ्नी वि चिनोति देवने सꣳवर्गꣳ यन् मघवा सूर्यꣳ जयत् । न तत् ते अन्यो अनु वीर्यꣳ शकन् न पुराणो मघवन् नोत नूतनः

kṛtaṁ na śvaghnī vi cinoti devane saṁvargaṁ yan maghavā sūryaṁ jayat | na tat te anyo anu vīryaṁ śakan na purāṇo maghavan nota nūtanaḥ

As a gambler sorts out the winning throw at play, so the bounteous one, taking all, won the sun. No other has been able to match that heroic deed of yours, neither an ancient one, O bounteous one, nor a present one.

विशꣳ-विशम् मघवा पर्य् अशायत जनानाꣳ धेना अवचाकशद् वृषा । यस्याह शक्रः सवनेषु रण्यति स तीव्रैः सोमैः सहते पृतन्यतः

viśaṁ-viśam maghavā pary aśāyata janānāṁ dhenā avacākaśad vṛṣā | yasyāha śakraḥ savaneṣu raṇyati sa tīvraiḥ somaiḥ sahate pṛtanyataḥ

The bounteous one has spread himself around clan after clan; the bull, looking down, (has surveyed) the voices of men. He in whose pressings the mighty one takes delight — with the sharp soma draughts he overcomes those who attack.

āpo na sindhum abhi yat samakṣaran somāsa indraṁ kulyā iva hradam | vardhanti viprā maho asya sādane yavaṁ na vṛṣṭir divyena dānunā

When the soma draughts have flowed together toward Indra, as waters toward the river, as channels toward a pool, the inspired singers strengthen him, the great one, in his seat, as rain strengthens the barley — with heavenly gift.

वृषा न क्रुद्धः पतयद् रजःस्व् आ यो अर्यपत्नीर् अकृणोद् इमा अपः । स सुन्वते मघवा जीरदानवे ऽविन्दज् ज्योतिर् मनवे हविष्मते

vṛṣā na kruddhaḥ patayad rajaḥsv ā yo aryapatnīr akṛṇod imā apaḥ | sa sunvate maghavā jīradānave 'vindaj jyotir manave haviṣmate

Like an enraged bull he flies through the spaces, he who made these waters to have the noble one as their lord. For the presser, for the man who gives quickly, the bounteous one found the light, for the man who brings oblation.

Let the axe come forth together with the light; let there be, as of old, the well-milking (cow) of ṛta. Let the ruddy one shine out, bright with his beam; let the lord of the settled ones blaze brilliantly like the sun.

With cattle may we cross over ill-disposed destitution, with barley all hunger, O much-invoked one. May we, first, with the kings, win prizes by our own fighting band.

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, 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 broad space.
