Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·1·1.167
सहस्रं त इन्द्रोतयो नः सहस्रम् इषो हरिवो गूर्ततमाः । सहस्रं रायो मादयध्यै सहस्रिण उप नो यन्तु वाजाः ॥
sahasraṃ ta indrotayo naḥ sahasram iṣo harivo gūrtatamāḥ | sahasraṃ rāyo mādayadhyai sahasriṇa upa no yantu vājāḥ ||
A THOUSAND are thy helps for us, O Indra: a thousand, Lord of Bays, thy choice refreshments. Wealth of a thousand sorts hast thou to cheer us: may precious goods come nigh to us in thousands.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ नो ऽवोभिर् मरुतो यान्त्व् अच्छा ज्येष्ठेभिर् वा बृहद्दिवैः सुमायाः । अध यद् एषां नियुतः परमाः समुद्रस्य चिद् धनयन्त पारे ॥
ā no 'vobhir maruto yāntv acchā jyeṣṭhebhir vā bṛhaddivaiḥ sumāyāḥ | adha yad eṣāṃ niyutaḥ paramāḥ samudrasya cid dhanayanta pāre ||
May the most sapient Maruts, with protection, with best boons brought from lofty heaven, approach us, Now when their team of the most noble horses speeds even on the sea's extremest limit.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
मिम्यक्ष येषु सुधिता घृताची हिरण्यनिर्णिग् उपरा न ऋष्टिः । गुहा चरन्ती मनुषो न योषा सभावती विदथ्येव सं वाक् ॥
mimyakṣa yeṣu sudhitā ghṛtācī hiraṇyanirṇig uparā na ṛṣṭiḥ | guhā carantī manuṣo na yoṣā sabhāvatī vidathyeva saṃ vāk ||
Close to them clings one moving in seclusion, like a man's wife, like a spear carried rearward, Well grasped, bright, decked with gold there is Vak also, like to a courtly, eloquent dame, among them.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
परा शुभ्रा अयासो यव्या साधारण्येव मरुतो मिमिक्षुः । न रोदसी अप नुदन्त घोरा जुषन्त वृधं सख्याय देवाः ॥
parā śubhrā ayāso yavyā sādhāraṇyeva maruto mimikṣuḥ | na rodasī apa nudanta ghorā juṣanta vṛdhaṃ sakhyāya devāḥ ||
Far off the brilliant, never-weary Maruts cling to the young Maid as a joint possession. The fierce Gods drave not Rodasi before them, but wished for her to grow their friend and fellow.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
जोषद् यद् ईम् असुर्या सचध्यै विषितस्तुका रोदसी नृमणाः । आ सूर्येव विधतो रथं गात् त्वेषप्रतीका नभसो नेत्या ॥
joṣad yad īm asuryā sacadhyai viṣitastukā rodasī nṛmaṇāḥ | ā sūryeva vidhato rathaṃ gāt tveṣapratīkā nabhaso netyā ||
When chose immortal Rodasi to follow--she with loose tresses and heroic spirit-- She climbed her servant's chariot, she like Surya with cloud-like motion and refulgent aspect.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आस्थापयन्त युवतिं युवानः शुभे निमिश्लां विदथेषु पज्राम् । अर्को यद् वो मरुतो हविष्मान् गायद् गाथं सुतसोमो दुवस्यन् ॥
āsthāpayanta yuvatiṃ yuvānaḥ śubhe nimiślāṃ vidatheṣu pajrām | arko yad vo maruto haviṣmān gāyad gāthaṃ sutasomo duvasyan ||
Upon their car the young men set the Maiden wedded to glory, mighty in assemblies, When your song, Maruts, rose, and, with oblation, the Soma-pourer sang his hymn in worship.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
प्र तं विवक्मि वक्म्यो य एषाम् मरुताम् महिमा सत्यो अस्ति । सचा यद् ईं वृषमणा अहंयु स्थिरा चिज् जनीर् वहते सुभागाः ॥
pra taṃ vivakmi vakmyo ya eṣām marutām mahimā satyo asti | sacā yad īṃ vṛṣamaṇā ahaṃyu sthirā cij janīr vahate subhāgāḥ ||
I will declare the greatness of these Maruts, their real greatness, worthy to be lauded, How, with them, she though firm, strong-minded, haughty, travels to women happy in their fortune.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
पान्ति मित्रावरुणाव् अवद्याच् चयत ईम् अर्यमो अप्रशस्तान् । उत च्यवन्ते अच्युता ध्रुवाणि वावृध ईम् मरुतो दातिवारः ॥
pānti mitrāvaruṇāv avadyāc cayata īm aryamo apraśastān | uta cyavante acyutā dhruvāṇi vāvṛdha īm maruto dātivāraḥ ||
Mitra and Varuna they guard from censure: Aryaman too, discovers worthless sinners Firm things are overthrown that ne'er were shaken: he prospers, Maruts, who gives choice oblations.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
नही नु वो मरुतो अन्त्य् अस्मे आरात्ताच् चिच् छवसो अन्तम् आपुः । ते धृष्णुना शवसा शूशुवांसो ऽर्णो न द्वेषो धृषता परि ष्ठुः ॥
nahī nu vo maruto anty asme ārāttāc cic chavaso antam āpuḥ | te dhṛṣṇunā śavasā śūśuvāṃso 'rṇo na dveṣo dhṛṣatā pari ṣṭhuḥ ||
None of us, Maruts, near or at a distance, hath ever reached the limit of your vigour. They in courageous might still waxing boldly have compassed round their foemen like an ocean.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वयम् अद्येन्द्रस्य प्रेष्ठा वयं श्वो वोचेमहि समर्ये । वयम् पुरा महि च नो अनु द्यून् तन् न ऋभुक्षा नराम् अनु ष्यात् ॥
vayam adyendrasya preṣṭhā vayaṃ śvo vocemahi samarye | vayam purā mahi ca no anu dyūn tan na ṛbhukṣā narām anu ṣyāt ||
May we this day be dearest friends of Indra, and let us call on him in fight to-morrow. So were we erst. New might attend us daily! So be with us! Rbhuksan of the Heroes!
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
एष व स्तोमो मरुत इयं गीर् मान्दार्यस्य मान्यस्य कारोः । एषा यासीष्ट तन्वे वयां विद्यामेषं वृजनं जीरदानुम् ॥
eṣa va stomo maruta iyaṃ gīr māndāryasya mānyasya kāroḥ | eṣā yāsīṣṭa tanve vayāṃ vidyāmeṣaṃ vṛjanaṃ jīradānum ||
May this your laud, may this your song, O Maruts, sung by the poet, Mana's son, Mandarya, Bring offspring for ourselves with. food to feed us. May we find strengthening food in full abundance.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
