What happens in this chapter
Indra hears Ita and turns the sun
Ita Bhargava praises Indra in gayatri, four short verses recalling his deeds. Indra, you helped the chariot of Ita, who had pressed soma, and heard the call of the soma-giver. You took the head of the boasting Makha from his skin and came to the house of the soma-presser. Indra, again and again you freed that mortal Venya for Astrabudhna, who longed for you. And you brought to the front the sun that stood behind, Indra, against the will of the devas. The hymn is brief and complete in itself, its rishi naming himself in the first line.
त्वं म॒खस्य॒ दोध॑त॒ः शिरोऽव॑ त्व॒चो भ॑रः ।
अग॑च्छः सो॒मिनो॑ गृ॒हम्
tvaṃ makhasya dodhataḥ śiro'va tvaco bharaḥ |
agacchaḥ somino gṛham
त्वं त्यमि॑न्द्र॒ मर्त्य॑मास्त्रबु॒ध्नाय॑ वे॒न्यम् ।
मुहु॑ः श्रथ्ना मन॒स्यवे॑
tvaṃ tyamindra martyamāstrabudhnāya venyam |
muhuḥ śrathnā manasyave
त्वं त्यमि॑न्द्र॒ सूर्यं॑ प॒श्चा सन्तं॑ पु॒रस्कृ॑धि ।
दे॒वानां॑ चित्ति॒रो वश॑म्
tvaṃ tyamindra sūryaṃ paścā santaṃ puraskṛdhi |
devānāṃ cittiro vaśam
