Mantra 1
Indra empowered by Soma-exhilaration (mada/matsara) to grant victory and wealth
मत्स्यपायि ते महः पात्रस्येव हरिवो मत्सरो मदः वृषा ते वृष्ण इन्दुर्वाजी सहस्रसातमः
matsyapāyi te mahaḥ pātrasyeva harivo matsaro madaḥ vṛṣā te vṛṣṇa indurvājī sahasrasātamaḥ
โอ้ฮริวัต (Harivat) ความปีติเมามายอันยิ่งใหญ่ของท่าน ราวกับหลั่งออกจากถ้วยพิธี (pātra) เป็นความเริงรื่นอันพุ่งพล่าน; หยดโสมะอินทุ (indu) เป็นดุจโคผู้ (vṛṣā) เพื่อพระอินทรผู้เป็นโค (vṛṣṇā) เป็นผู้ประทานพลัง (vājī) และเป็นผู้มีชัยยิ่งในการได้มาซึ่งพันประการ (sahasrasātamaḥ).
matsya-pāyi te mahaḥ | pātrasya iva harivaḥ | matsaraḥ madaḥ | vṛṣā te vṛṣṇaḥ | induḥ vājī | sahasra-sātamaḥ
