नाहमतो॒ निर॑या दु॒र्गहै॒तत्ति॑र॒श्चता॑ पा॒र्श्वान्निर्ग॑माणि । ब॒हूनि॑ मे॒ अकृ॑ता॒ कर्त्वा॑नि॒ युध्यै॑ त्वेन॒ सं त्वे॑न पृच्छै ॥ नाहमतो निरया दुर्गहैतत्तिरश्चता पार्श्वान्निर्गमाणि । बहूनि मे अकृता कर्त्वानि युध्यै त्वेन सं त्वेन पृच्छै ॥

sanskrit

Vāmadeva speaks: Let me not come forth by this path, for it is difficult (of issue); let me come forth obliquely from the side; many acts unperformed by others are to be accomplished by me; let me contend (in war) with one (enemy), in controversy with one opponent.

प॒रा॒य॒तीं मा॒तर॒मन्व॑चष्ट॒ न नानु॑ गा॒न्यनु॒ नू ग॑मानि । त्वष्टु॑र्गृ॒हे अ॑पिब॒त्सोम॒मिन्द्र॑: शतध॒न्यं॑ च॒म्वो॑: सु॒तस्य॑ ॥ परायतीं मातरमन्वचष्ट न नानु गान्यनु नू गमानि । त्वष्टुर्गृहे अपिबत्सोममिन्द्रः शतधन्यं चम्वोः सुतस्य ॥

sanskrit

He, (Indra), has asserted (that it will) cause the death of my mother; let me not proceed by the usual way, but proceed quickly, according (to my will); in the dwelling of Tvaṣṭā Indra drank the costly Soma from the vessels of the offerers.

sanskrit

Aditi speaks: What irregular act has he committed whom (I, his mother), bore for a thousand months and for many years? there is no analogy between him and those who have been or will be born.

अ॒व॒द्यमि॑व॒ मन्य॑माना॒ गुहा॑क॒रिन्द्रं॑ मा॒ता वी॒र्ये॑णा॒ न्यृ॑ष्टम् । अथोद॑स्थात्स्व॒यमत्कं॒ वसा॑न॒ आ रोद॑सी अपृणा॒ज्जाय॑मानः ॥ अवद्यमिव मन्यमाना गुहाकरिन्द्रं माता वीर्येणा न्यृष्टम् । अथोदस्थात्स्वयमत्कं वसान आ रोदसी अपृणाज्जायमानः ॥

sanskrit

Deeming it disreputable (that he should be brought forth) in secret, his mother endowed (Indra) with (extraordinary) vigour; therefore, as soon as born he sprung up of his own accord, invested with splendour, and filled both heaven and earth.
