Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·1·1.146
त्रिमूर्धानं सप्तरश्मिं गृणीषे ऽनूनम् अग्निम् पित्रोर् उपस्थे । निषत्तम् अस्य चरतो ध्रुवस्य विश्वा दिवो रोचनापप्रिवांसम् ॥
trimūrdhānaṃ saptaraśmiṃ gṛṇīṣe 'nūnam agnim pitror upasthe | niṣattam asya carato dhruvasya viśvā divo rocanāpaprivāṃsam ||
I LAUD the seven-rayed, the triple-headed, Agni all-perfect in his Parents' bosom, Sunk in the lap of all that moves and moves not, him who hath filled all luminous realms of heaven.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
उक्षा महां अभि ववक्ष एने अजरस् तस्थाव् इतऊतिर् ऋष्वः । उर्व्याः पदो नि दधाति सानौ रिहन्त्य् ऊधो अरुषासो अस्य ॥
ukṣā mahāṃ abhi vavakṣa ene ajaras tasthāv itaūtir ṛṣvaḥ | urvyāḥ pado ni dadhāti sānau rihanty ūdho aruṣāso asya ||
As a great Steer he grew to these his Parents; sublime he stands, untouched by eld, far-reaching. He plants his footsteps on the lofty ridges of the broad earth: his red flames lick the udder.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
समानं वत्सम् अभि संचरन्ती विष्वग् धेनू वि चरतः सुमेके । अनपवृज्यां अध्वनो मिमाने विश्वान् केतां अधि महो दधाने ॥
samānaṃ vatsam abhi saṃcarantī viṣvag dhenū vi carataḥ sumeke | anapavṛjyāṃ adhvano mimāne viśvān ketāṃ adhi maho dadhāne ||
Coming together to their common youngling both Cows, fairshaped, spread forth in all directions, Measuring out the paths that must be travelled, entrusting all desires to him the Mighty.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
धीरासः पदं कवयो नयन्ति नाना हृदा रक्षमाणा अजुर्यम् । सिषासन्तः पर्य् अपश्यन्त सिन्धुम् आविर् एभ्यो अभवत् सूर्यो नॄन् ॥
dhīrāsaḥ padaṃ kavayo nayanti nānā hṛdā rakṣamāṇā ajuryam | siṣāsantaḥ pary apaśyanta sindhum āvir ebhyo abhavat sūryo nṝn ||
The prudent sages lead him to his dwelling, guarding with varied skill the Ever-Youthful. Longing, they turned their eyes unto the River: to these the Sun of men was manifested.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
दिदृक्षेण्यः परि काष्ठासु जेन्य ईळेन्यो महो अर्भाय जीवसे । पुरुत्रा यद् अभवत् सूर् अहैभ्यो गर्भेभ्यो मघवा विश्वदर्शतः ॥
didṛkṣeṇyaḥ pari kāṣṭhāsu jenya īḷenyo maho arbhāya jīvase | purutrā yad abhavat sūr ahaibhyo garbhebhyo maghavā viśvadarśataḥ ||
Born noble in the regions, aim of all mens' eyes to be implored for life by great and small alike, Far as the Wealthy One hath spread himself abroad, he is the Sire all-visible of this progeny.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
