9.53.1

उत्ते॒ शुष्मा॑सो अस्थू॒ रक्षो॑ भि॒न्दन्तो॑ अद्रिवः | नु॒दस्व॒ याः प॑रि॒स्पृध॑: ||

O THOU with stones for arms, thy powers, crushing the fiends, have raised themselves: Chase thou the foes who compass us.

9.53.2

अ॒या नि॑ज॒घ्निरोज॑सा रथसं॒गे धने॑ हि॒ते | स्तवा॒ अबि॑भ्युषा हृ॒दा ||

Thou conquerest thus with might when car meets car, and when the prize is staked: With fearless heart will I sing praise.

9.53.3

अस्य॑ व्र॒तानि॒ नाधृषे॒ पव॑मानस्य दू॒ढ्या॑ | रु॒ज यस्त्वा॑ पृत॒न्यति॑ ||

No one with evil thought assails this Pavamana's holy laws: Crush him who fain would fight with thee.

9.53.4

तं हि॑न्वन्ति मद॒च्युतं॒ हरिं॑ न॒दीषु॑ वा॒जिन॑म् | इन्दु॒मिन्द्रा॑य मत्स॒रम् ||

For Indra to the streams they drive the tawny rapture-dropping Steed, Indu the bringer of delight.
