English translation:

“Victorious Indra and Agni, bestow upon us riches whereby we may destroy our powerful enemies incombats as fire fanned by the wind consumes the forests; may all our adversaries perish.”

O Indra and Agni, victorious ones—you two will give us wealth,
by which we might become victorious over the strongholds, even the firm ones, in the combats,
as Agni (is victorious) over the woods especially when there is wind.
– Let all the other squirts burst!

INDRA and Agni, surely ye as Conquerors will give us wealth,
Whereby in fight we may o’ercome that which is strong and firmly fixed, as Agni burns the woods with wind. Let all the others die away.

Indra und Agni, ihr Bezwinger möget uns fein einen Schatz schenken, durch den wir in den Kämpfen das Wohlverschlossene, auch das Feste bezwingen können wie das Feuer im Sturmwind die Wälder. - All die anderen Schwächlinge sollen entzweigehen!

O Indra-Agni gebet uns, ihr starken Sieger, Schätze bald, Durch die im Kampf bezwingen wir, was fest und unbeweglich ist, wie Holz das Feuer windbewegt. Zerstieben soll der Feinde Schwarm.

О Индра-Агни, вы хотите нам прекрасно
Дать, о победоносные, богатство,
С помощью которого мы смогли бы одолеть
В боях даже прочные твердыни,
Подобно тому как Агни (сжигает) деревья на ветру.
Пусть лопнут все ничтожные другие!

हे इन्द्राग्नी वां युवां न वव्रयामहे वयं धन न याचामहे । अथ हि अपि तर्हि शविष्ठम् अतिशयेन बलवन्तं नृणां नरं नेतॄणामपि नेतारम् इन्द्रमित् इन्द्रमेव यजामहे । सः इन्द्रः नः अस्मान् अर्वता अश्वेन कदा चित् वाजसातये अन्नलाभाय आ गमत् आगच्छति । कदाचित् मेधसातये यज्ञभजनाय आ गमत् । सिद्धमन्यत् ॥

English translation:

“Do we not invoke you both? We worship especially Indra, who is the strongest leader of men; he comesoccasionally with his horses to bestow upon us food; he comes to partake of the sacrifice; may all ouradversaries perish.”

Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya

Do we not invoke you both: we do not invoke you both; to bestow upon us food: for thereceiving of food

For we do not stick you two together in a hole. But we sacrifice to Indra especially as strongest man among men.
He will come here to us sometime with his steed to win the prize; he will come here to win wisdom.
– Let all the other squirts burst!

The hapax vavráyāmahe is somewhat puzzling. It appears to be a denom. to vavrá- ‘hole’, with accent retraction because it is transitive (so Jamison, -áya-, 88-89). This deriv. goes back to Bartholomae and is endorsed by Oldenberg, for want of anything better. But what is its point in context? Here Renou seems to show the way, taking it as oppositional to the following pāda, which begins with the contrastive particle átha: “But we sacrifice just (/especially) to Indra.” The idea is that, though the hymn is dedicated to both Indra and Agni, we don’t put the two gods in the same undifferentiated category, “in the (same) hole,” as it were, but treat them individually.

As noted in the published introduction, the two gods are treated with more independence than in most Indra and Agni hymns (which isn’t saying much).

We set no snares to tangle you; Indra we worship and adore, Hero of heroes mightiest.
Once may he come unto us with his Steed, come unto us to win us strength, and to complete the sacrifice.

Denn wir stellen euch keine Falle, vielmehr verehren wir nur den Indra, den stärksten Mann unter den Männern. Er möge uns einmal zu Rosse kommen zum Gewinnen des Siegerpreises, er möge kommen zum Gewinnen der Meisterschaft. - All die anderen Schwächlinge sollen entzweigehen!

Denn nimmermehr verschmähn wir euch, vor allem ehren Indra wir, Den Mann, der Männer kräftigsten; er komme stets zu Rosse her zu uns, um Labung zu empfahn. Zerstieben soll der Feinde Schwarm.

Мы же не таимся перед вами:
Это Индру мы почитаем,
Самого сильного мужа из мужей.
Пусть он к нам приедет когда-нибудь
На коне для завоевания добычи,
Пусть он приедет для завоевания мудрости!
Пусть лопнут все ничтожные другие!

ता तौ प्रसिद्धौ इन्द्राग्नी भराणां संग्रामाणां मध्यम् अधिक्षितः अधिनिवसतः हि । अथ प्रत्यक्षस्तुतिः। हे नरा नेतारौ कवित्वना कवित्वेन कवी क्रान्तकर्माणौ पृच्छ्यमाना कविजनैः पृच्छ्यमानौ ता उ तावेव युवां सखीयते सखित्वमिच्छते यजमानाय धीतं तत्कृतं कर्म सम् अश्नुतम् । सिद्धमन्यत् ॥

English translation:

“They two, Indra and Agni, are present in the midst of battles; do you two, leaders of rites, who are reallysages, when solicited (by the wise), accept the offering (from him) who seeks your friendship; may all ouradversaries perish.”

For these two, Indra and Agni, preside amid battle-raids.
You two, sage poets through your poetic skill, on being asked, realize the visionary thought for the one seeking your companionship, o men.
– Let all the other squirts burst!

The clauses ab and cde begin identically, with tā́. It is only with the last two words of the final pāda, aśnutaṃ narā, that it becomes clear that a change of person has been effected between 3rd (ab) and 2nd (cde). Unfortunately this change has to be signalled much earlier in the Engl.

For, famous Indra-Agni, ye are dwellers in the midst of frays.
Sages in wisdom, ye are knit to him who seeketh you as friends. Heroes, bestow on him his wish.

Denn die beiden, Indra und Agni, weilen über den Kämpfen mitteninne. Als zwei Weise , die wegen ihrer Weisheit befragt werden, erfüllet dem den Wunsch, der wie ein Freund gesinnt ist, ihr Herren! - All die anderen Schwächlinge sollen entzweigehen!

Denn Indra-Agni weilen ja recht in der Opfer Mittelpunkt; So kommt mit Weisheit, Weise denn; erfüllt, o Männer, das Gebet, erflehte, dem befreundeten. Zerstieben soll der Feinde Schwarm.

Ведь эти двое, Индра и Агни,
Пребывают в центре сражений.
Когда (вас,) двоих мудрецов, в связи с (вашей) мудростью
Расспрашивают, то сделайте доступным для дружелюбного
(Внутренее) видение, о два мужа!
Пусть лопнут все ничтожные другие!

हे नाभाक नभाकवदिन्द्राग्नी यजसा यागेन गिरा स्तुत्या च अभ्यर्च अभिपूजय । ययोः इन्द्राग्न्योः विश्वं सर्वम् इदं जगत् तिष्ठति । ययोश्च उपस्थे इयं द्यौः मही महती पृथिवी च द्यावापृथिव्यावुभे वसु धनं बिभृतः धारयतः । सिद्धमन्यत्

English translation:

“Worship, like Nabhāka, Indra and Agni with sacrifice and praise, of whom is this universe, upon whoselap this heaven and the spacious earth deposit their treasure; may all our adversaries perish.”

Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya

Nabhāka: the ṛṣiof the hymn is Nābhāka, perhaps a patronymic

Like Nabhāka recite to Indra and Agni with a worshipful song, the two to whom this whole moving world belongs,
whose goods this heaven and the great earth bear in their lap.
– Let all the other squirts burst!

I take cde as consisting of two relative clauses, both introduced by yáyoḥ in c. The first is only pāda c and is a statement of ownership (“whose is this whole moving world,” phrased in the published translation as “to whom … belongs”); the second comprises de, with yáyoḥ construed with vásu and Heaven and Earth the subj. of the dual verb bibhṛtáḥ. (Renou’s tr. is sim.) Geldner’s tr. differs from mine in taking cde as a single relative cl., with “this whole moving world” as a parallel subj. to Heaven and Earth. He must assume that bibhṛtáḥ has been attracted into the dual by the nearer paired subject. I prefer to take the dual verb seriously, and I also wonder if the moving world (which usually refers to the animate beings therein) has a collective lap. For the lap of Heaven and Earth, see nearby VIII.42.2 pātáṁ no dyāvāprthiv ̥ ī upásthe (in the same hymn cycle).

Judging by word order, iyáṃ dyaúḥ should belong together and I have so tr.

them. But iyám has the wrong deixis: iyám expresses near deixis and, when indicating a cosmic division, ordinarily characterizes the earth (cf., e.g., X.60.9 iyám prthiv ̥ ī́mahī́). It also has the dispreferred gender: dyaúḥ is ordinarily masc., though occasionally fem. Since demonstratives are often separated from their nouns, I am tempted to take it with pṛthivī́here (“heaven and this great earth”). But a series of passages in which the feminine near deictic does seem to belong with ‘heaven’ (prthiv ̥ ī́ṃ dyā́m utémā́m III.32.8, 34.8, X.88.3, 9, 121.1) gives me pause, and IX.96.3 dyā́m utémā́m is even worse, because it is not conjoined with an ‘earth’ word. So I have honored the word order as well as accepting the gender switch.

Nabhaka-like, with sacred song Indra’s and Agni’s praise I sing,
Theirs to whom all this world belongs, this heaven and this mighty earth which bear rich treasure in their lap.

Besinge wie Nabhaka den Indra und Agni mit Anbetung und Lobrede, deren Gut diese ganze Welt, dieser Himmel, die große Erde in ihrem Schoße tragen! - All die anderen Schwächlinge sollen entzweigehen!

Den Indra-Agni preise nun mit frommem Lied, Nabhaka-gleich, Die Herrscher dieser ganzen Welt, des Himmels und der weiten Erd’, im Schoosse tragend reiches Gut. Zerstieben soll der Feinde Schwarm.

Воспой, подобно Набхаке,
Индру и Агни песней, исполненной почитания,
(Тех,) кому принадлежит весь этот мир,
Это небо, великая земля,
(Кто) имеет в (своем) лоне (все) блага.
Пусть лопнут все ничтожные другие!

English translation:

“Address like Nabhāka your praises to Indra and Agni, who overspread (with their lustre) theseven-rooted ocean whose gates are hidden, and of whom Indra by his might is the lord; may all our adversariesperish.”

Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya

Seven-rooted ocean whose gates are hidden: yā saptabudhnam arṇavam jihmabāram aporṇutaḥ =saptamūlam pihita dvāram arṇavam tejobhir ācchād_yataḥ

Like Nabhāka, direct sacred formulations to Indra and Agni, the two who opened up the flood with its seven (stream)beds, with its sloping banks—Indra, showing mastery through his strength.
– Let all the other squirts burst!

What this is about is not entirely clear. Geldner suggests Vala, while Lüders, fld.

by Renou, thinks of the heavenly ocean (as usual).

That -bāra- ‘bank’ is a MIA development of pārá- ‘(far) shore’ (KEWA s.v. jihmáḥ, EWA s.v. pārá-) seems plausible.

To Indra and to Agni send your prayers, as was Nabhaka’s wont,-
Who oped with sideway opening the sea with its foundations seven-Indra all powerful in his might.

Richtet wie Nabhaka erbauliche Reden an Indra und Agni, die das Meer mit sieben Tiefen und geeignetem Rand aufschließen, Agni und Indra, der durch seine Stärke mächtig ist. - All die anderen Schwächlinge sollen entzweigehen!

Nabhaka gleichend wendet hin zu Indra-Agni eur Gebet. Das Meer, das sieben Böden hat, zur Seite neigend öffnen sie, auch Indra, der mit Kraft gebeut. Zerstieben soll der Feinde Schwarm

Направьте, подобно Набхаке,
Священные слова к Индре и Агни,
Которые раскрывают семидонное
Море с отверстием насторону, –
Индра, владеющий силой.
Пусть лопнут все ничтожные другие!

“Cut off (the foe), Indra, as and old (pruner) the protruding (branch) of a creeper, humble the strength ofthe Dāsa; may we divide his accusative ulated treasure (despoiled) by Indra; may all our adversaries perish.”

Hew (him) apart in the age-old way, like the tangle of a vine; weaken the strength of the Dāsa.
Might we then take a share in his goods, brought together by Indra. – Let all the other squirts burst!

Both vratáti- and guṣpitá- are found in the RV only here, but are attested later – the latter already AV.

The meter of de is faulty, with two extra syllables. Which pāda is hypermetric depends on which one vásu is assigned to: Oldenberg (Prol.) and Lubotsky put it final in d, Holland & van Nooten Rig Veda edition initial in e. In favor of the former is vásu’s general preference for pāda-final position and, in particular, the final of 4e, with a form of √bhṛ + vásu (bibhṛtó vásu). Oldenberg (Noten) explicitly counsels against omitting it as others have suggested. It would be possible to eliminate another disyllable, e.g., pleonastic+++(=redundant)+++ vayám, but there is no strong reason to.

Tear thou asunder, as of old, like tangles of a creeping plant,
Demolish thou the Dasa’s might. May we with Indra’s help divide the treasure he hath gathered up.

Zerhaue wie vor Zeiten gleich dem Gewirr einer Schlingpflanze, überliste die Stärke des Dasa! Wir wollen dessen angehäuftes Gut mit Indra teilen. - All die anderen Schwächlinge sollen entzweigehen!

Zerspalte wie in alter Zeit, gleich wie des Dickichts Astgeflecht, Des Dämons Kraft, vernichte sie; wir mögen sein gehäuftes Gut als Theil durch Indra’s Gunst empfahn. Zerstieben soll der Feinde Schwarm.

Обруби, как прежде,
Словно сплетение лианы,
Уничтожь силу дасы!
Мы хотим вместе с Индрой получить долю
В том добре, собранном этим (дасой)!
Пусть лопнут все ничтожные другие!

English translation:

“Inasmuch as these people honour Indra and Agni with gifts and with praises, so may we, defying hosts,overcome (our foes) with our warriors; let us praise those seeking praise; may all our adversaries perish.”

Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya

Seeking praise: vanuyāma vanuṣyataḥ = stutim icchantaḥ śatrūn vanuyāma; let us prevail over those whodesire to conquer

When these peoples here vie in invoking Indra and Agni with song at length,
with our men might we overcome those doing battle, might we win against those eager to win.
– Let all the other squirts burst!

Geldner and Renou tr. indrāgnī́as voc., without commenting on accent. I assume this is simply a lapse on their parts.

What time with this same song these men call Indra-Agni sundry ways,
May we with our own heroes quell those who provoke us to the fight, and conquer those who strive with us.

Wenn, Indra und Agni, diese Völker von verschiedenen Seiten rufen mit fließender Lobrede, so wollen wir mit unseren Mannen die Angreifer bezwingen, die Eiferer überbieten. - All die anderen Schwächlinge sollen entzweigehen!

Wenn Indra-Agni, diese hier euch rufen mit beständ’gem Preis, So lasst durch unsre Männer uns bewältigen der Feinde Tross, besiegen die bekämpfenden. Zerstieben soll der Feinde Schwarm.

Когда эти люди с разных сторон зовут
Индру и Агни непрерывно песнью,
Пусть мы с нашими мужами
Одолеем нападающих,
Пусть мы одержим верх над соперниками!
Пусть лопнут все ничтожные другие!

English translation:

“Offering oblations, (the worshippers) approach to the worship of Indra and Agni, who are of a whitecomplexion, and rise from below with bright rays to heaven; they verily have liberated the waters from bondage;may all our adversaries perish.”

The two bright ones [=sun and moon], who (come) down from heaven and will proceed upward every day,
(they do so) following the commandment of Indra and Agni; following the commandment of Indra and Agni the rivers go driving, those which the two [=Indra and Agni] freed from bondage.
– Let all the other squirts burst!

Geldner and Renou take uccárātaḥ as the verb of all of ab, whose action unfolds “under heaven” (unterhalb des Himmels), but the contrast between aváḥ ‘down’ and úd ‘up’ invites an interpr. of cyclical complementary action – the rising and setting of the two heavenly bodies. I therefore supply a verb of motion with pāda a.

I read pāda c with both ab and d.

The Two refulgent with their beams rise and come downward from the sky.
By Indra’s and by Agni’s hest, flowing away, the rivers, run which they released from their restraint.

Die beiden Weißglänzenden, die unterhalb des Himmels Tag für Tag aufzugehen pflegen - Auf Indra´s und Agni´s Geheiß gehen die fließenden Ströme, die sie aus den Banden befreit haben. - All die anderen Schwächlinge sollen entzweigehen!

Die glänzend von dem Himmelsraum hernieder wandern Tag für Tag, Sie gehn nach Indra-Agni’s Spruch, die Wasserfluten strömend hin, die von der Fessel sie befreit. Zerstieben soll der Feinde Schwarm.

А (те) двое светлых, которые с неба
Поднимаются день за днем
По закону Индры и Агни –
Движимые (тем же законом) текут реки,
Которые они освободили из оков.
Пусть лопнут все ничтожные другие!

हे हरिवः वज्रिन् सूनो प्रेरयितः इन्द्र हिन्वस्य प्रीणयितुः वस्वः दीपकस्य वीरस्य आपृचः धनान्युपयच्छतः ते तव ताः उपमातयः उपमानानि पूर्वीः बहूनि । उत अपि च प्रशस्तयः पूर्वीः । याः नः धियः प्रज्ञां साधन्त असाधयन् । सिद्धमन्यत् ॥

English translation:

“Indra, wielder of the thunderbolt, instrumental gator (of acts), may the numerous merits, the many excellences ofyou, who are the bestower of affluence and of male offspring, perfect our understandings; may all ouradversaries perish.”

Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya

Indra, wielder of the thunderbolt, instrumental gator (of acts), of you, the gladdener, the brilliant, thehero, the wealth-bestower, numerous (or ancient) are the comparisons, numerous (or ancient) are the praises,which exercise our understandings;

Upamātayaḥ = dhanāni

Many are your distributions (of goods to us), Indra, and many our encomia to you, o son of impulsion, possessor of fallow bays—
(many) the infusions of goods of the hero [=Indra], (and many) our visionary thoughts, which now reach their goal.
– Let all the other squirts burst!

In my interpr. the verse is structured by two complementary pairings of reciprocal gifts between “us” and Indra. Both involve Indra’s gifts (úpamātayaḥ a, āpṛ́caḥ d) and our praiseful thoughts (práśastayaḥ b, dhíyaḥ e).

úpamāti- is variously rendered, but I take it to úpa √mā ‘mete out’; cf., e.g., VII.26.5 sahasríṇa úpa no māhi vā́jān “mete out prizes to us in thousands.” Geldner’s ‘Zuwendungen’ (‘contributions, donations’, but also ‘care’) could belong either to √mā or to √man, but I surmise he links it to the former. Both Grassmann and Renou connect it to the realm of speech/thought (‘Anrede’ and ‘pensées-appliquées’ respectively) with Grassmann explicitly positing a root affiliation with √man. Renou gives no disc. in his comm. ad loc. (EVP 14), but in EVP 16 (ad IV.43.4) he rejects a root affiliation with √mā. Cf. also his comments in EVP 13.155 (ad VIII.60.11). A root syllable mā cannot be derived from the aniṭ root √man in any straightforward fashion, though AiG II.2.630 derives both úpamāti- and abhímāti- from -mati- via metrical lengthening, citing Meillet. Metrical lengthening is, of course, a non-explanation except under very controlled conditions, and the fact that other compounds with -mati- (e.g., metrically identical ánumati-) maintain the short vowel make it even less likely in this case.

In both d and e I supply ‘many’, based on the parallelism with ab pūrvī́ḥ …, pūrvī́ḥ … Holland & van Nooten Rig Veda edition’s loosing of the sandhi in d as vīrásya apṛ́caḥ is incorrect: the initial vowel is ā-, which is supported by the meter and so given by the Pp (see Scarlatta 324).

Geldner takes āpṛ́caḥ as adjectival modifying dhíyaḥ, but I follow Oldenberg’s interpr. (so also Scarlatta 324-25) as a nom. act.; the vásvaḥ with it is an objective gen., the vīrásya a subjective gen.

O Indra, many are thine aids, many thy ways of guiding us,
Lord of the Bay Steeds, Hinva’s Son. To a Good Hero come our prayers, which soon shall have accomplishment.

Viele sind, o Indra, deine Zuwendungen und viele deine Anerkennungen, du Sohn des Rossetreibers, du Falbenherr. Gut und Sohn schenkend seien unsere Gebete, die jetzt in Erfüllung gehen mögen. - All die anderen Schwächlinge sollen entzweigehen!

Viel Bitten dringen zu dir hin und viele Lobgesänge auch, O Sohn der Wonne, Rosseherr; des guten Herrn und unsere inbrünst’ge Bitten sei’n erfüllt. Zerstieben soll der Feinde Schwarm.

Много, о Индра, к тебе просьб,
И много прославлений (у тебя),
О сын погонщика (коней), хозяин буланых коней.
Пусть же сбудутся наши молитвы,
Которые пронизаны (желанием иметь) богатство, сына!
Пусть лопнут все ничтожные другие!

English translation:

“Animate with praises that brilliant adorable Indra, the distributor (of riches), who by hismight breaks theeggs of Śuṣṇa; may he conquer the celestial waters; may all our enemies perish.”

Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya

Eggs of Śuṣṇa : śuṣṇasyaaṇḍāni = egg-born offspring; aṇḍajātāni

Hone him [=Indra] with well-twisted (hymns)—the turbulent one, the “real thing,” worthy of verses.
And he who even now will split the “eggs” of Śuṣṇa with his strength, he will conquer the waters along with the sun.
– Let all the other squirts burst!

The “eggs” of Śuṣṇa are probably his progeny (so Oldenberg, Geldner); see X.68.7, adduced by Geldner, also X.22.11 śúṣṇasya … jātáṃ víśvaṃ and X.61.13 śúṣṇasya … puruprajātásya. They can’t be testicles, given the number.

The standard interpr. takes jéṣat (e) as parallel to bhédati (d) and still part of the rel. clause beginning in c, whereas I take it as the verb of the main clause to which the rel. clause is attached. Either is grammatically possible because, if jéṣat is the verb of a main clause, its accent is owing to its initial position. The rel. cl. interpr.

requires that cde all hang off the tám of a, despite the utá. Klein (DGRV I.302) seems to suggest that the verse is structured as an “X and which Y construction” (tám … utá … yáḥ), but as far as I know, the X and Y in such constructions always have different referents.

Inspire him with your holy hymns, the Hero bright and glorious,
Him who with might demolisbeth even the brood of Susna, and winneth for us the heavenly streams.

Ihn machet durch Loblieder scharf, den furchtgebietenden preiswürdigen Krieger, und der alsbald mit Kraft des Susna Eier zerbrechen und die Gewässer samt der Sonne ersiegen soll. - All die anderen Schwächlinge sollen entzweigehen!

Ihn schärfet durch der Lieder Drang, den kühnen, starken, preislichen, Und er, der nun mit grosser Kraft zerbricht des Çuschna böse Brut, gewinn des Himmels Wasserflut. Zerstieben soll der Feinde Schwarm.

Заострите прекрасными произведениями этого
Ярого воина, достойного гимнов,
(Того.) который (своей) силой непременно
Разобьет яйца Шушны,
(И) завоюет воды, окружающие солнце!
Пусть лопнут все ничтожные другие!

हे स्तोतारः स्वध्वरं सुयज्ञं सत्यम् अविनाशं सत्वानं संभक्तारम् ऋत्वियम् ऋतौ यष्टव्यं तम् इन्द्रं शिशीत स्तुतिभिः संस्कुरुत । अथ प्रत्यक्षस्तुतिः । उतो नु चित् अपि च यः इन्द्रः ओहते यज्ञं प्रति गच्छति शुष्णस्य आण्डा आण्डान्यण्डजातानि च भेदति भिनत्ति स त्वं स्वर्वतीः दिव्यानि अपः सलिलानि अजैः अजैषीः । सिद्धमन्यत् ॥

English translation:

“Animate that Indra to whom sacrifice is due– sincere, bountiful, adorable; him who frequents sacrifices,who breaks the eggs of Śuṣṇa; you have conquered the celestial waters; may all our enemies perish.”

Hone him [=Agni] affording good ceremonies, the “real thing” really there at the proper season.
And he who even now is solemnly proclaimed (as the one) who will split the “eggs” of Śuṣṇa, he has conquered the waters along with the sun. – Let all the other squirts burst!

This verse, dedicated to Agni, is constructed entirely parallel to vs. 10 to Indra; note, e.g., the end of the b pādas: 10 … sátvānam ṛgmíyam, 11 … sátvānam ṛtvíyam. It therefore seems important to construe the exactly parallel cde in the same way in both verses. The only differences between the two are ójasā (10c) / óhata [-e out of sandhi] (11c), the order of Śuṣṇa and his eggs in d, and the tense/mood of the verb in e (s-aor. subj. jéṣat in 10e, s-aor. indic. ájaiḥ in 11e). My tr. reflects this strict parallelism, but others do not. Geldner, e.g., takes d as the main cl. to c and e as a second independent cl., whereas in 10 he takes cde as a single rel. clause (see above). Klein, DGRV I.302, calls 11 “an awkward attempt to create a vertical parisyllablic responsio to 10a-e.” My tr. is made possible by taking óhate as passive (‘is proclaimed as …’) (or possibly reflexive ‘vaunts himself as’; see V.42.11).

Inspire him worshipped with fair rites, the glorious Hero truly brave.
He brake in pieces Susna’s brood who still expected not the stroke, and won for us the heavenly streams. Let all the others die away.

Ihn machet scharf, den gutopfernden, wahrhaft pünktlichen Krieger, der sich alsbald rühmt, er werde des Susna Eier zerbrechen: er hat die Gewässer samt der Sonne ersiegt. - All die anderen Schwächlinge sollen entzweigehen!

Ihn schärft, den schönbeopferten, den wahren, starken, preislichen; Er ist’s, der unser achtet stets, und der des Çuschna Brut zerbricht, des Himmels Wasserflut gewann. Zerstieben soll der Feinde Schwarm.

Заострите этого связанного с успешным обрядом
Истинного воина, соблюдающего время жертвоприношений,
Который задумывает непременно
Разбить яйца Шушны –
Он завоевал воды, окружающие солнце.
Пусть лопнут все ничтожные другие!

English translation:

“Thus has a new hymn been addressed to Indra and Agni, as was done by my father, by Mandhātā,by Aṅgirasa; cherish us with a triply defended dwelling; may we be the lords of riches.”

Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya

Triply defended dwelling:tridhātunā śarmaṇā = triparvaṇā gṛheṇa, with a house of three joints; in RV. 1.34.6, tridhātu śarma =vātapitta śleṣma dhātutrayaśamana viṣayam sukham; in RVV 1.85.12 śarma tridhātūni = pṛthivyādiṣutriṣu sthāneṣu avasthitāni sukhāni gṛhāni vā;

Note: it is possible that the term may simply mean, threeelements, copper, silver, gold

Thus to Indra and Agni, in the manner of the ancestors, of Mandhātar, of Aṅgiras, a newer (speech) has just been spoken.
With tripartite shelter protect us; may we be lords of riches.

Thus have we sung anew to Indra-Agni, as sang our sires, Angirases, and Mandhatar.
Guard us with triple shelter and preserve us: may we be masters of a store of riches.

So wurde dem Indra und Agni eine neue Rede gehalten in der Weise der Väter, des Mandhatri, der Angiras´. Schützet uns mit dreifacher Schutzwehr! Wir möchten Gebieter über Reichtümer sein.

So ist dem Indra und Agni aufs neue gesungen nach der Väter Art, nach des Mandhātri und der Angiras Art. Behütet uns mit dreifachem Schütze; Besitzer von Reichthümer mögen wir sein.

Итак, для Индры и Агни произнесена новая (речь),
Как у отцов, как у Мандхатара, как у Ангирасов.
Тройной защитой нас защищайте!
Да будем мы повелителями богатств!
