विश्वेषु हि त्वा सवनेषु तुञ्जते समानम् एकं वृषमण्यवः पृथक् स्वः सनिष्यवः पृथक् । तं त्वा नावं न पर्षणिं शूषस्य धुरि धीमहि । इन्द्रं न यज्ञैश् चतयन्त आयव स्तोमेभिर् इन्द्रम् आयवः ॥१॥
viśveṣu hi tvā savaneṣu tuñjate samānam ekaṃ vṛṣamaṇyavaḥ pṛthak svaḥ saniṣyavaḥ pṛthak | taṃ tvā nāvaṃ na parṣaṇiṃ śūṣasya dhuri dhīmahi | indraṃ na yajñaiś catayanta āyava stomebhir indram āyavaḥ ||1||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
In all libations men with hero spirit urge the Universal One, each seeking several light, each fain to win the light apart. Thee, furthering like a ship, will we set to the chariot-pole of strength, As men who win with sacrifices Indra's thought, men who win Indra with their lauds.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 1.131.2; the wording of this text may differ in places.
