SV 2 1113.1

तं वो दस्ममृतीषहं वसोर्मन्दानमन्धसः । अभि वत्सं न स्वसरेषु धेनव इन्द्रं गीर्भिर्नवामहे

taṃ vo dasmamṛtīṣahaṃ vasormandānamandhasaḥ | abhi vatsaṃ na svasareṣu dhenava indraṃ gīrbhirnavāmahe

Him, the wondrous one for you, the withstander of assaults, who takes joy in the good juice — as cows (low) toward the calf in the pastures, so we call out to Indra with our songs.

As cows low to their calves in stalls, so with our songs we glorify This Indra, even your wondrous God who checks attack, who takes delight in precious juice.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1893)

SV 2 1113.2

द्युक्षं सुदानुं तविषीभिरावृतं गिरिं न पुरुभोजसं । क्षुमन्तं वाजं शतिनं सहस्रिणं मक्षू गोमन्तमीमहे

dyukṣaṃ sudānuṃ taviṣībhirāvṛtaṃ giriṃ na purubhojasaṃ | kṣumantaṃ vājaṃ śatinaṃ sahasriṇaṃ makṣū gomantamīmahe

Him who dwells in heaven, the good giver, girt about with strengths, who like a mountain gives food to many — we quickly beg for a prize rich in provisions, hundredfold, thousandfold, rich in cattle.

AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Celestial, bounteous giver, girt about with might, rich, mountain-like, in pleasant things,-- Him swift we seek for foodful booty rich in kine, brought hundredfold and thousandfold.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1893)
