IAST Transliteration

mā́dayasva suté sacā́ śávase śūra rā́dhase | vidmá hí tvā purūvásum úpa kā́mān sasṛjmáhe ’thā́ no ’vitā́ bhava

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Be thou exhilarated with the pressed Soma, in fellowship, for strength, O Hero, for bounty. For we know thee as rich in many treasures: toward thee we set our desires in motion; then be thou our helper and protector.

Translation

ಹೇ ಶೂರ ಇಂದ್ರನೇ! ಒತ್ತಿದ ಸೋಮರಸದೊಂದಿಗೆ, ಸಂಗತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ, ಬಲಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಮತ್ತು ದಾನ-ಸಮೃದ್ಧಿಗಾಗಿ ಉಲ್ಲಾಸಗೊಳ್ಳು. ನಾವು ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ಅನೇಕ ಧನ-ನಿಧಿಗಳಿಂದ ಸಮೃದ್ಧನಾಗಿ ತಿಳಿದಿದ್ದೇವೆ; ನಿನ್ನ ಕಡೆಗೆ ನಮ್ಮ ಕಾಮನೆಗಳನ್ನು ಚಲಿಸುವಂತೆ ಮಾಡುತ್ತೇವೆ; ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ನೀನು ನಮ್ಮ ಸಹಾಯಕನೂ ರಕ್ಷಕನೂ ಆಗು.

Chandas: Likely Triṣṭubh/Jagatī-type Ṛgvedic meter; exact meter requires full hymn context and pada syllable count.
