1. LET your
best-bearing car that must be lauded, ne'er injured, bring you Vajas and
Rbhuksans.
Fill you, fair-helmeted! with
mighty Soma, thrice-mixed, at our libations to delight you.
2 Ye who
behold the light of heaven, Rbhuksans, give our rich patrons unmolested riches.
Drink, heavenly-natured. at our
sacrifices, and give us bounties for the hymns we sing you.
3 For thou, O
Bounteous One, art used to giving, at parting treasure whether small or ample.
Filled full are both thine arms
with great possessions: thy goodness keeps thee not from granting riches.
4 Indra,
high-famed, as Vaja and Rbhuksans, thou goest working, singing to the dwelling.
Lord of Bay Steeds, this day
may we Vasisthas offer our prayers to thee and bring oblations.
5 Thou winnest
swift advancement for thy servant, through hymns, Lord of Bay Steeds, which
thou hast favoured.
For thee with friendly succour have
we battled, and when, O Indra, wilt thou grant us riches?
6 To us thy
priests a home, as 'twere, thou givest: when, Indra wilt thou recognize our
praises?
May thy strong Steed, through
our ancestral worship, bring food and wealth with heroes to our dwelling.
7 Though
Nirrti the Goddess reigneth round him, Autumns with food in plenty come to
Indra.
With three close Friends to
length of days he cometh, he whom men let not rest at home in quiet.
8 Promise us
gifts, O Savitar: may riches come unto us in Parvata's full bounty.
May the Celestial Guardian
still attend us. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
