Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·1·1.62
प्र मन्महे शवसानाय शूषम् आङ्गूषं गिर्वणसे अङ्गिरस्वत् । सुवृक्तिभि स्तुवत ऋग्मियायार्चामार्कं नरे विश्रुताय ॥
pra manmahe śavasānāya śūṣam āṅgūṣaṃ girvaṇase aṅgirasvat | suvṛktibhi stuvata ṛgmiyāyārcāmārkaṃ nare viśrutāya ||
Like Angiras a gladdening laud we ponder to him who loveth song, exceeding mighty. Let us sing glory to the far-famed Hero who must be praised with fair hymns by the singer.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
प्र वो महे महि नमो भरध्वम् आङ्गूष्यं शवसानाय साम । येना नः पूर्वे पितरः पदज्ञा अर्चन्तो अङ्गिरसो गा अविन्दन् ॥
pra vo mahe mahi namo bharadhvam āṅgūṣyaṃ śavasānāya sāma | yenā naḥ pūrve pitaraḥ padajñā arcanto aṅgiraso gā avindan ||
Unto the great bring ye great adoration, a chant with praise to him exceeding mighty, Through whom our sires, Angirases, singing praises and knowing well the places, found the cattle.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
इन्द्रस्याङ्गिरसां चेष्टौ विदत् सरमा तनयाय धासिम् । बृहस्पतिर् भिनद् अद्रिं विदद् गाः सम् उस्रियाभिर् वावशन्त नरः ॥
indrasyāṅgirasāṃ ceṣṭau vidat saramā tanayāya dhāsim | bṛhaspatir bhinad adriṃ vidad gāḥ sam usriyābhir vāvaśanta naraḥ ||
When Indra and the Angirases desired it, Sarama found provision for her offspring. Brhaspati cleft the mountain, found the cattle: the heroes shouted with the kine in triumph.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
स सुष्टुभा स स्तुभा सप्त विप्रैः स्वरेणाद्रिं स्वर्यो नवग्वैः । सरण्युभिः फलिगम् इन्द्र शक्र वलं रवेण दरयो दशग्वैः ॥
sa suṣṭubhā sa stubhā sapta vipraiḥ svareṇādriṃ svaryo navagvaiḥ | saraṇyubhiḥ phaligam indra śakra valaṃ raveṇa darayo daśagvaiḥ ||
Mid shout, loud shout, and roar, with the Navagvas, seven singers, hast thou, heavenly, rent the mountain; Thou hast, with speeders, with Dasagvas, Indra, Sakra, with thunder rent obstructive Vala.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
गृणानो अङ्गिरोभिर् दस्म वि वर् उषसा सूर्येण गोभिर् अन्धः । वि भूम्या अप्रथय इन्द्र सानु दिवो रज उपरम् अस्तभायः ॥
gṛṇāno aṅgirobhir dasma vi var uṣasā sūryeṇa gobhir andhaḥ | vi bhūmyā aprathaya indra sānu divo raja uparam astabhāyaḥ ||
Praised by Angirases, thou, foe-destroyer, hast, with the Dawn, Sun, rays, dispelled the darkness. Thou Indra, hast spread out the earth's high ridges, and firmly fixed the region under heaven.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तद् उ प्रयक्षतमम् अस्य कर्म दस्मस्य चारुतमम् अस्ति दंसः । उपह्वरे यद् उपरा अपिन्वन् मध्वर्णसो नद्यश् चतस्रः ॥
tad u prayakṣatamam asya karma dasmasya cārutamam asti daṃsaḥ | upahvare yad uparā apinvan madhvarṇaso nadyaś catasraḥ ||
This is the deed most worthy of all honour, the fairest marvel of the Wonder-Worker, That, nigh where heaven bends down, he made four rivers flow full with waves that carry down sweet water.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
द्विता वि वव्रे सनजा सनीळे अयास्य स्तवमानेभिर् अर्कैः । भगो न मेने परमे व्योमन्न् अधारयद् रोदसी सुदंसाः ॥
dvitā vi vavre sanajā sanīḷe ayāsya stavamānebhir arkaiḥ | bhago na mene parame vyomann adhārayad rodasī sudaṃsāḥ ||
Unwearied, won with lauding hymns, he parted of old the ancient Pair, united ever. In highest sky like Bhaga, he the doer of marvels set both Dames and earth and heaven.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सनाद् दिवम् परि भूमा विरूपे पुनर्भुवा युवती स्वेभिर् एवैः । कृष्णेभिर् अक्तोषा रुशद्भिर् वपुर्भिर् आ चरतो अन्यान्या ॥
sanād divam pari bhūmā virūpe punarbhuvā yuvatī svebhir evaiḥ | kṛṣṇebhir aktoṣā ruśadbhir vapurbhir ā carato anyānyā ||
Still born afresh, young Dames, each in her manner, unlike in hue, the Pair in alternation Round heaven and earth from ancient time have travelled, Night with her dark limbs, Dawn with limbs of splendour.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सनेमि सख्यं स्वपस्यमानः सूनुर् दाधार शवसा सुदंसाः । आमासु चिद् दधिषे पक्वम् अन्तः पयः कृष्णासु रुशद् रोहिणीषु ॥
sanemi sakhyaṃ svapasyamānaḥ sūnur dādhāra śavasā sudaṃsāḥ | āmāsu cid dadhiṣe pakvam antaḥ payaḥ kṛṣṇāsu ruśad rohiṇīṣu ||
Rich in good actions, skilled in operation, the Son with might maintains his perfect friendship. Thou in the raw cows, black of hue or ruddy, storest the ripe milk glossy white in colour.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सनात् सनीळा अवनीर् अवाता व्रता रक्षन्ते अमृताः सहोभिः । पुरू सहस्रा जनयो न पत्नीर् दुवस्यन्ति स्वसारो अह्रयाणम् ॥
sanāt sanīḷā avanīr avātā vratā rakṣante amṛtāḥ sahobhiḥ | purū sahasrā janayo na patnīr duvasyanti svasāro ahrayāṇam ||
Their paths, of old connected, rest uninjured; they with great might preserve the immortal statutes. For many thousand holy works the Sisters wait on the haughty Lord like wives and matrons.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सनायुवो नमसा नव्यो अर्कैर् वसूयवो मतयो दस्म दद्रुः । पतिं न पत्नीर् उशतीर् उशन्तं स्पृशन्ति त्वा शवसावन् मनीषाः ॥
sanāyuvo namasā navyo arkair vasūyavo matayo dasma dadruḥ | patiṃ na patnīr uśatīr uśantaṃ spṛśanti tvā śavasāvan manīṣāḥ ||
Thoughts ancient, seeking wealth, with adoration, with newest lauds have sped to thee, O Mighty. As yearning wives cleave to their yearning husband, so cleave our hymns to thee, O Lord most potent.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सनाद् एव तव रायो गभस्तौ न क्षीयन्ते नोप दस्यन्ति दस्म । द्युमां असि क्रतुमां इन्द्र धीरः शिक्षा शचीवस् तव नः शचीभिः ॥
sanād eva tava rāyo gabhastau na kṣīyante nopa dasyanti dasma | dyumāṃ asi kratumāṃ indra dhīraḥ śikṣā śacīvas tava naḥ śacībhiḥ ||
Strong God, the riches which thy hands have holden from days of old have perished not nor wasted. Splendid art thou, O Indra, wise, unbending: strengthen us with might, O Lord of Power.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सनायते गोतम इन्द्र नव्यम् अतक्षद् ब्रह्म हरियोजनाय । सुनीथाय नः शवसान नोधाः प्रातर् मक्षू धियावसुर् जगम्यात् ॥
sanāyate gotama indra navyam atakṣad brahma hariyojanāya | sunīthāya naḥ śavasāna nodhāḥ prātar makṣū dhiyāvasur jagamyāt ||
