Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·10·10.106
उभा उ नूनं तद् इद् अर्थयेथे वि तन्वाथे धियो वस्त्रापसेव । सध्रीचीना यातवे प्रेम् अजीगः सुदिनेव पृक्ष आ तंसयेथे ॥
ubhā u nūnaṃ tad id arthayethe vi tanvāthe dhiyo vastrāpaseva | sadhrīcīnā yātave prem ajīgaḥ sudineva pṛkṣa ā taṃsayethe ||
This very thing ye Twain hold as your object: ye weave your songs as skillful men weave garments. That ye may come united have I waked you: ye spread out food like days of lovely weather.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
उष्टारेव फर्वरेषु श्रयेथे प्रायोगेव श्वात्र्या शासुर् एथः । दूतेव हि ष्ठो यशसा जनेषु माप स्थातम् महिषेवावपानात् ॥
uṣṭāreva pharvareṣu śrayethe prāyogeva śvātryā śāsur ethaḥ | dūteva hi ṣṭho yaśasā janeṣu māpa sthātam mahiṣevāvapānāt ||
Like two plough-bulls ye move along in traces, and seek like eager guests your bidder's banquet. Ye are like glorious envoys mid the people: like bulls, approach the place where ye are watered.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
साकंयुजा शकुनस्येव पक्षा पश्वेव चित्रा यजुर् आ गमिष्टम् । अग्निर् इव देवयोर् दीदिवांसा परिज्मानेव यजथः पुरुत्रा ॥
sākaṃyujā śakunasyeva pakṣā paśveva citrā yajur ā gamiṣṭam | agnir iva devayor dīdivāṃsā parijmāneva yajathaḥ purutrā ||
Like the two pinions of a bird, connected, like two choice animals, ye have sought our worship. Bright as the fire the votary hath kindled, ye sacrifice in many a spot as roamers.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आपी वो अस्मे पितरेव पुत्रोग्रेव रुचा नृपतीव तुर्यै । इर्येव पुष्ट्यै किरणेव भुज्यै श्रुष्टीवानेव हवम् आ गमिष्टम् ॥
āpī vo asme pitareva putrogreva rucā nṛpatīva turyai | iryeva puṣṭyai kiraṇeva bhujyai śruṣṭīvāneva havam ā gamiṣṭam ||
Ye are our kinsmen, like two sons, two fathers, strong in your splendour and like kings for conquest; Like rays for our enjoyment, Lords to feed us, ye, like quick bearers, have obeyed our calling.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वंसगेव पूषर्या शिम्बाता मित्रेव ऋता शतरा शातपन्ता । वाजेवोच्चा वयसा घर्म्येष्ठा मेषेवेषा सपर्या पुरीषा ॥
vaṃsageva pūṣaryā śimbātā mitreva ṛtā śatarā śātapantā | vājevoccā vayasā gharmyeṣṭhā meṣeveṣā saparyā purīṣā ||
You are like two pleasantly moving well-fed (hills) like Mitra and Varuna, the two bestowers of felicity, veracious, possessors of infinite wealth, happy, like two horses plump with fodder, abiding in the firmament, like two rams (are you) to be nourished with sacrificial food, to be cherished (with oblations).
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सृण्येव जर्भरी तुर्फरीतू नैतोशेव तुर्फरी पर्फरीका । उदन्यजेव जेमना मदेरू ता मे जराय्व् अजरम् मरायु ॥
sṛṇyeva jarbharī turpharītū naitośeva turpharī parpharīkā | udanyajeva jemanā maderū tā me jarāyv ajaram marāyu ||
You are like two mad elephants bending their forequarters and smiting the foe, like the two sons of Nitosa destroying (foes), and cherishing (friends); you are bright as two water-born (jewels), do you, who are victorious, (render) my decaying mortal body free from decay.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
पज्रेव चर्चरं जारम् मरायु क्षद्मेवार्थेषु तर्तरीथ उग्रा । ऋभू नापत् खरमज्रा खरज्रुर् वायुर् न पर्फरत् क्षयद् रयीणाम् ॥
pajreva carcaraṃ jāram marāyu kṣadmevārtheṣu tartarītha ugrā | ṛbhū nāpat kharamajrā kharajrur vāyur na parpharat kṣayad rayīṇām ||
Fierce (Asvins), like two powerful (heroes), you enable this moving, perishable mortal (frame) to cross over to the objects (of its destination) as over water; extremely strong, like the Rbhus, your chariot, attained its destination swift as the wind, it pervaded (everywhere), it dispensed riches.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
घर्मेव मधु जठरे सनेरू भगेविता तुर्फरी फारिवारम् । पतरेव चचरा चन्द्रनिर्णिङ् मनऋङ्गा मनन्या न जग्मी ॥
gharmeva madhu jaṭhare sanerū bhagevitā turpharī phārivāram | patareva cacarā candranirṇiṅ manaṛṅgā mananyā na jagmī ||
With your bellies full of the Soma, like two saucepans, preservers of wealth, destroyers of enemies. (you are) armed with hatchets, moving like two flying (birds) with forms like the moon, attaining success through the mind, like two laudable beings, (you are) approaching (the sacrifice).
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
बृहन्तेव गम्भरेषु प्रतिष्ठाम् पादेव गाधं तरते विदाथः । कर्णेव शासुर् अनु हि स्मराथो ऽंशेव नो भजतं चित्रम् अप्नः ॥
bṛhanteva gambhareṣu pratiṣṭhām pādeva gādhaṃ tarate vidāthaḥ | karṇeva śāsur anu hi smarātho 'ṃśeva no bhajataṃ citram apnaḥ ||
Like giants, ye will find firm ground to stand on in depths, like feet for one who fords a shallow. Like cars ye will attend to him who orders: ye Two enjoy our wondrous work as sharers.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आरङ्गरेव मध्व् एरयेथे सारघेव गवि नीचीनबारे । कीनारेव स्वेदम् आसिष्विदाना क्षामेवोर्जा सूयवसात् सचेथे ॥
āraṅgareva madhv erayethe sāragheva gavi nīcīnabāre | kīnāreva svedam āsiṣvidānā kṣāmevorjā sūyavasāt sacethe ||
Like toiling bees ye bring to us your honey, as bees into the hide that opens downward.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ऋध्याम स्तोमं सनुयाम वाजम् आ नो मन्त्रं सरथेहोप यातम् । यशो न पक्वम् मधु गोष्व् अन्तर् आ भूतांशो अश्विनोः कामम् अप्राः ॥
ṛdhyāma stomaṃ sanuyāma vājam ā no mantraṃ sarathehopa yātam | yaśo na pakvam madhu goṣv antar ā bhūtāṃśo aśvinoḥ kāmam aprāḥ ||
May we increase the laud and gain us vigour: come to our song, ye whom one chariot carries. Filled be our kine with ripened meath like glory: Bhutamsa hath fulfilled the Asvins' longing.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
