I FOR this
man's full libations held in ladles, he hath roused him, eager, as a horse to
meet the mare.
He stays
his golden car, yoked with Bay Horses, swift, and drinks the Soma juice which
strengthens for great deeds.
2
To him the guidance-following songs of praise flow full, as those who seek gain
go in company to the flood.
To him the
Lord of power, the holy synod's might, as to a hill, with speed, ascend the
loving ones.
3
Victorious, great is he; in manly battle shines, unstained with dust, his
might, as shines a mountain peak;
Wherewith
the iron one, fierce e'en against the strong, in rapture, fettered wily Sushna
fast in bonds.
4
When Strength the Goddess, made more strong for help by thee, waits upon Indra
as the Sun attends the Dawn,
Then. he
who with his might unflinching kills the gloom stirs up the dust aloft, with
joy and triumphing.
5
When thou with might, upon the framework of the heaven, didst fix, across,
air's region firmly, unremoved,
In the light-winning
war, Indra, in rapturous joy, thou smotest Vrtra dead and broughtest floods of
rain.
6
Thou with thy might didst grasp,the holder-up of heaven, thou who art mighty
also in the seats of earth.
Thou,
gladdened by the juice, hast set the waters free, and broken Vrtra's stony
fences through and through.
