Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·1·1.125
प्राता रत्नम् प्रातरित्वा दधाति तं चिकित्वान् प्रतिगृह्या नि धत्ते । तेन प्रजां वर्धयमान आयू रायस् पोषेण सचते सुवीरः ॥
prātā ratnam prātaritvā dadhāti taṃ cikitvān pratigṛhyā ni dhatte | tena prajāṃ vardhayamāna āyū rāyas poṣeṇa sacate suvīraḥ ||
Coming at early morn he gives his treasure; the prudent one receives and entertains him. Thereby increasing still his life and offspring, he comes with brave sons to abundant riches.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सुगुर् असत् सुहिरण्यः स्वश्वो बृहद् अस्मै वय इन्द्रो दधाति । यस् त्वायन्तं वसुना प्रातरित्वो मुक्षीजयेव पदिम् उत्सिनाति ॥
sugur asat suhiraṇyaḥ svaśvo bṛhad asmai vaya indro dadhāti | yas tvāyantaṃ vasunā prātaritvo mukṣījayeva padim utsināti ||
Rich shall he be in gold and kine and horses. Indra bestows on him great vital power, Who stays thee, as thou comest, with his treasure, like game caught in the net, O early comer.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आयम् अद्य सुकृतम् प्रातर् इच्छन्न् इष्टेः पुत्रं वसुमता रथेन । अंशोः सुतम् पायय मत्सरस्य क्षयद्वीरं वर्धय सूनृताभिः ॥
āyam adya sukṛtam prātar icchann iṣṭeḥ putraṃ vasumatā rathena | aṃśoḥ sutam pāyaya matsarasya kṣayadvīraṃ vardhaya sūnṛtābhiḥ ||
Longing, I came this morning to the pious, the son of sacrifice, with car wealth-laden. Give him to drink juice of the stalk that gladdens; prosper with pleasant hymns the Lord of Heroes.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
उप क्षरन्ति सिन्धवो मयोभुव ईजानं च यक्ष्यमाणं च धेनवः । पृणन्तं च पपुरिं च श्रवस्यवो घृतस्य धारा उप यन्ति विश्वतः ॥
upa kṣaranti sindhavo mayobhuva ījānaṃ ca yakṣyamāṇaṃ ca dhenavaḥ | pṛṇantaṃ ca papuriṃ ca śravasyavo ghṛtasya dhārā upa yanti viśvataḥ ||
Health-bringing streams, as milch-cows, flow to profit him who hath worshipped, him who now will worship. To him who freely gives and fills on all sides full streams of fatness flow and make him famous.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
नाकस्य पृष्ठे अधि तिष्ठति श्रितो यः पृणाति स ह देवेषु गच्छति । तस्मा आपो घृतम् अर्षन्ति सिन्धवस् तस्मा इयं दक्षिणा पिन्वते सदा ॥
nākasya pṛṣṭhe adhi tiṣṭhati śrito yaḥ pṛṇāti sa ha deveṣu gacchati | tasmā āpo ghṛtam arṣanti sindhavas tasmā iyaṃ dakṣiṇā pinvate sadā ||
On the high ridge of heaven he stands exalted, yea, to the Gods he goes, the liberal giver. The streams, the waters flow for him with fatness: to him this guerdon ever yields abundance.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
दक्षिणावताम् इद् इमानि चित्रा दक्षिणावतां दिवि सूर्यासः । दक्षिणावन्तो अमृतम् भजन्ते दक्षिणावन्तः प्र तिरन्त आयुः ॥
dakṣiṇāvatām id imāni citrā dakṣiṇāvatāṃ divi sūryāsaḥ | dakṣiṇāvanto amṛtam bhajante dakṣiṇāvantaḥ pra tiranta āyuḥ ||
For those who give rich meeds are all these splendours, for those who give rich meeds suns shine in heaven. The givers of rich meeds are made immortal; the givers of rich fees prolong their lifetime.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
मा पृणन्तो दुरितम् एन आरन् मा जारिषुः सूरयः सुव्रतासः । अन्यस् तेषाम् परिधिर् अस्तु कश् चिद् अपृणन्तम् अभि सं यन्तु शोकाः ॥
mā pṛṇanto duritam ena āran mā jāriṣuḥ sūrayaḥ suvratāsaḥ | anyas teṣām paridhir astu kaś cid apṛṇantam abhi saṃ yantu śokāḥ ||
Let not the liberal sink to sin and sorrow, never decay the pious chiefs who worship! Let every man besides be their protection, and let affliction fall upon the niggard.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
