Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·10·10.105
कदा वसो स्तोत्रं हर्यत आव श्मशा रुधद् वाः । दीर्घं सुतं वाताप्याय ॥
kadā vaso stotraṃ haryata āva śmaśā rudhad vāḥ | dīrghaṃ sutaṃ vātāpyāya ||
When, Vasu, wilt thou love the laud? Now let the channel bring the stream. The juice is ready to ferment.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
हरी यस्य सुयुजा विव्रता वेर् अर्वन्तानु शेपा । उभा रजी न केशिना पतिर् दन् ॥
harī yasya suyujā vivratā ver arvantānu śepā | ubhā rajī na keśinā patir dan ||
He whose two Bay Steeds harnessed well, swerving, pursue the Bird's tail-plumes, With Rowing manes, like heaven and earth, he is the Lord with power to give.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अप योर् इन्द्रः पापज आ मर्तो न शश्रमाणो बिभीवान् । शुभे यद् युयुजे तविषीवान् ॥
apa yor indraḥ pāpaja ā marto na śaśramāṇo bibhīvān | śubhe yad yuyuje taviṣīvān ||
Bereft of skill is Indra, if, like some outwearied man he fears The sinner, when the Mighty hath prepared himself for victory.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सचायोर् इन्द्रश् चर्कृष आं उपानसः सपर्यन् । नदयोर् विव्रतयोः शूर इन्द्रः ॥
sacāyor indraś carkṛṣa āṃ upānasaḥ saparyan | nadayor vivratayoḥ śūra indraḥ ||
Indra with these drives round, until he meets with one to worship him: Indra is Master of the pair who snort and swerve upon their way.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अधि यस् तस्थौ केशवन्ता व्यचस्वन्ता न पुष्ट्यै । वनोति शिप्राभ्यां शिप्रिणीवान् ॥
adhi yas tasthau keśavantā vyacasvantā na puṣṭyai | vanoti śiprābhyāṃ śipriṇīvān ||
Borne onward by the long-maned Steeds who stretch themselves as 'twere for food, The God who wears the helm defends them with his jaws.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
प्रास्तौद् ऋष्वौजा ऋष्वेभिस् ततक्ष शूरः शवसा । ऋभुर् न क्रतुभिर् मातरिश्वा ॥
prāstaud ṛṣvaujā ṛṣvebhis tatakṣa śūraḥ śavasā | ṛbhur na kratubhir mātariśvā ||
The Mighty sang with Lofty Ones: the Hero fashioned with his strength, Like skillful Matarisvan with his power and might,
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वज्रं यश् चक्रे सुहनाय दस्यवे हिरीमशो हिरीमान् । अरुतहनुर् अद्भुतं न रजः ॥
vajraṃ yaś cakre suhanāya dasyave hirīmaśo hirīmān | arutahanur adbhutaṃ na rajaḥ ||
The bolt, which pierced at once the vitals of the Dasyu easy to be slain, With jaw uninjured like the wondrous firmament.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अव नो वृजिना शिशीह्य् ऋचा वनेमानृचः । नाब्रह्मा यज्ञ ऋधग् जोषति त्वे ॥
ava no vṛjinā śiśīhy ṛcā vanemānṛcaḥ | nābrahmā yajña ṛdhag joṣati tve ||
Grind off our sins: with song will we conquer the men who sing no hymns: Not easily art thou pleased with prayerless sacrifice.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ऊर्ध्वा यत् ते त्रेतिनी भूद् यज्ञस्य धूर्षु सद्मन् । सजूर् नावं स्वयशसं सचायोः ॥
ūrdhvā yat te tretinī bhūd yajñasya dhūrṣu sadman | sajūr nāvaṃ svayaśasaṃ sacāyoḥ ||
When threefold flame burns high for thee, to rest on poles of sacrifice, Thou with the living joyest in the self-bright Ship.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
श्रिये ते पृश्निर् उपसेचनी भूच् छ्रिये दर्विर् अरेपाः । यया स्वे पात्रे सिञ्चस उत् ॥
śriye te pṛśnir upasecanī bhūc chriye darvir arepāḥ | yayā sve pātre siñcasa ut ||
Thy glory was the speckled cup, thy glory was the flawless scoop. Wherewith thou pourest into thy receptacle.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
शतं वा यद् असुर्य प्रति त्वा सुमित्र इत्थास्तौद् दुर्मित्र इत्थास्तौत् । आवो यद् दस्युहत्ये कुत्सपुत्रम् प्रावो यद् दस्युहत्ये कुत्सवत्सम् ॥
śataṃ vā yad asurya prati tvā sumitra itthāstaud durmitra itthāstaut | āvo yad dasyuhatye kutsaputram prāvo yad dasyuhatye kutsavatsam ||
As hundreds, O Immortal God, have sung to thee, so hath Sumitra, yea, Durmitra praised thee here, What time thou holpest Kutsa's son, when Dasyus fell, yea, holpest Kutsa's darling when the Dasyus died.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
