Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·1·1.60
वह्निं यशसं विदथस्य केतुं सुप्राव्यं दूतं सद्योअर्थम् । द्विजन्मानं रयिम् इव प्रशस्तं रातिम् भरद् भृगवे मातरिश्वा ॥
vahniṃ yaśasaṃ vidathasya ketuṃ suprāvyaṃ dūtaṃ sadyoartham | dvijanmānaṃ rayim iva praśastaṃ rātim bharad bhṛgave mātariśvā ||
As 'twere Some goodly treasure Matarisvan brought, as a gift, the glorious Priest to Bhrgu, Banner of sacrifice, the good Protector, child of two births, the swiftly moving envoy.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अस्य शासुर् उभयासः सचन्ते हविष्मन्त उशिजो ये च मर्ताः । दिवश् चित् पूर्वो न्य् असादि होतापृच्छ्यो विश्पतिर् विक्षु वेधाः ॥
asya śāsur ubhayāsaḥ sacante haviṣmanta uśijo ye ca martāḥ | divaś cit pūrvo ny asādi hotāpṛcchyo viśpatir vikṣu vedhāḥ ||
Both Gods and men obey this Ruler's order, Gods who are worshipped, men who yearn and worship. As Priest he takes his seat ere break of morning, House-Lord, adorable with men, Ordainer.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तं नव्यसी हृद आ जायमानम् अस्मत् सुकीर्तिर् मधुजिह्वम् अश्याः । यम् ऋत्विजो वृजने मानुषासः प्रयस्वन्त आयवो जीजनन्त ॥
taṃ navyasī hṛda ā jāyamānam asmat sukīrtir madhujihvam aśyāḥ | yam ṛtvijo vṛjane mānuṣāsaḥ prayasvanta āyavo jījananta ||
May our fair praise, heart-born, most recent, reach him whose tongue, e'en at his birth, is sweet as honey; Whom mortal priests, men, with their strong endeavour, supplied with dainty viands, have created.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
उशिक् पावको वसुर् मानुषेषु वरेण्यो होताधायि विक्षु । दमूना गृहपतिर् दम आं अग्निर् भुवद् रयिपती रयीणाम् ॥
uśik pāvako vasur mānuṣeṣu vareṇyo hotādhāyi vikṣu | damūnā gṛhapatir dama āṃ agnir bhuvad rayipatī rayīṇām ||
Good to mankind, the yearning Purifier hath among men been placed as Priest choice-worthy. May Agni be our Friend, Lord of the Household, protector of the riches in the dwelling.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तं त्वा वयम् पतिम् अग्ने रयीणाम् प्र शंसामो मतिभिर् गोतमासः । आशुं न वाजम्भरम् मर्जयन्तः प्रातर् मक्षू धियावसुर् जगम्यात् ॥
taṃ tvā vayam patim agne rayīṇām pra śaṃsāmo matibhir gotamāsaḥ | āśuṃ na vājambharam marjayantaḥ prātar makṣū dhiyāvasur jagamyāt ||
As such we Gotamas with hymns extol thee, O Agni, as the guardian Lord of riches, Decking thee like a horse, the swift prizewinner. May he, enriched with prayer, come soon and early.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
