Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·10·10.11
वृषा वृष्णे दुदुहे दोहसा दिवः पयांसि यह्वो अदितेर् अदाभ्यः । विश्वं स वेद वरुणो यथा धिया स यज्ञियो यजतु यज्ञियां ऋतून् ॥
vṛṣā vṛṣṇe duduhe dohasā divaḥ payāṃsi yahvo aditer adābhyaḥ | viśvaṃ sa veda varuṇo yathā dhiyā sa yajñiyo yajatu yajñiyāṃ ṛtūn ||
The Bull hath yielded for the Bull the milk of heaven: the Son of Aditi can never be deceived. According to his wisdom Varuna knoweth all: may he, the Holy, hallow times for sacrifice.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
रपद् गन्धर्वीर् अप्या च योषणा नदस्य नादे परि पातु मे मनः । इष्टस्य मध्ये अदितिर् नि धातु नो भ्राता नो ज्येष्ठः प्रथमो वि वोचति ॥
rapad gandharvīr apyā ca yoṣaṇā nadasya nāde pari pātu me manaḥ | iṣṭasya madhye aditir ni dhātu no bhrātā no jyeṣṭhaḥ prathamo vi vocati ||
Gandharvi spake: may she, the Lady of the flood, amid the river's roaring leave my heart untouched. May Aditi accomplish all that we desire, and may our eldest Brother tell us this as Chief.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सो चिन् नु भद्रा क्षुमती यशस्वत्य् उषा उवास मनवे स्वर्वती । यद् ईम् उशन्तम् उशताम् अनु क्रतुम् अग्निं होतारं विदथाय जीजनन् ॥
so cin nu bhadrā kṣumatī yaśasvaty uṣā uvāsa manave svarvatī | yad īm uśantam uśatām anu kratum agniṃ hotāraṃ vidathāya jījanan ||
Yea, even this blessed Morning, rich in store of food, splendid, with heavenly lustre, hath shone out for man, Since they, as was the wish of yearning Gods, brought forth that yearning Agni for the assembly as the Priest.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अध त्यं द्रप्सं विभ्वं विचक्षणं विर् आभरद् इषितः श्येनो अध्वरे । यदी विशो वृणते दस्मम् आर्या अग्निं होतारम् अध धीर् अजायत ॥
adha tyaṃ drapsaṃ vibhvaṃ vicakṣaṇaṃ vir ābharad iṣitaḥ śyeno adhvare | yadī viśo vṛṇate dasmam āryā agniṃ hotāram adha dhīr ajāyata ||
And the fleet Falcon brought for sacrifice from afar this flowing Drop most excellent and keen of sight, Then when the Aryan tribes chose as Invoking Priest Agni the Wonder-Worker, and the hymn rose up.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सदासि रण्वो यवसेव पुष्यते होत्राभिर् अग्ने मनुषः स्वध्वरः । विप्रस्य वा यच् छशमान उक्थ्यं वाजं ससवां उपयासि भूरिभिः ॥
sadāsi raṇvo yavaseva puṣyate hotrābhir agne manuṣaḥ svadhvaraḥ | viprasya vā yac chaśamāna ukthyaṃ vājaṃ sasavāṃ upayāsi bhūribhiḥ ||
Still art thou kind to him who feeds thee as with grass, and, skilled in sacrifice, offers thee holy gifts. When thou, having received the sage's strengthening food with lauds, after long toil, comest with many more.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
उद् ईरय पितरा जार आ भगम् इयक्षति हर्यतो हृत्त इष्यति । विवक्ति वह्निः स्वपस्यते मखस् तविष्यते असुरो वेपते मती ॥
ud īraya pitarā jāra ā bhagam iyakṣati haryato hṛtta iṣyati | vivakti vahniḥ svapasyate makhas taviṣyate asuro vepate matī ||
Urge thou thy Parents, as a lover ' to delight: the Lovely One desires and craves it from his heart. The priest calls out, the sacrificer shows his skill, the Asura tries his strength, and with the hymn is stirred.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यस् ते अग्ने सुमतिम् मर्तो अक्षत् सहसः सूनो अति स प्र शृण्वे । इषं दधानो वहमानो अश्वैर् आ स द्युमां अमवान् भूषति द्यून् ॥
yas te agne sumatim marto akṣat sahasaḥ sūno ati sa pra śṛṇve | iṣaṃ dadhāno vahamāno aśvair ā sa dyumāṃ amavān bhūṣati dyūn ||
Far-famed is he, the mortal man, O Agni, thou Son of Strength, who hath obtained thy favour. He, gathering power, borne onward by his horses, makes his days lovely in his might and splendour.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यद् अग्न एषा समितिर् भवाति देवी देवेषु यजता यजत्र । रत्ना च यद् विभजासि स्वधावो भागं नो अत्र वसुमन्तं वीतात् ॥
yad agna eṣā samitir bhavāti devī deveṣu yajatā yajatra | ratnā ca yad vibhajāsi svadhāvo bhāgaṃ no atra vasumantaṃ vītāt ||
When, Holy Agni, the divine assembly, the sacred synod mid the Gods, is gathered, And when thou, Godlike One, dealest forth treasures, vouchsafe us, too, our portion of the riches.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
श्रुधी नो अग्ने सदने सधस्थे युक्ष्वा रथम् अमृतस्य द्रवित्नुम् । आ नो वह रोदसी देवपुत्रे माकिर् देवानाम् अप भूर् इह स्याः ॥
śrudhī no agne sadane sadhasthe yukṣvā ratham amṛtasya dravitnum | ā no vaha rodasī devaputre mākir devānām apa bhūr iha syāḥ ||
Hear us, O Agni, in your common dwelling: harness thy rapid car of Amrta. Bring Heaven and Earth, the Deities' Parents, hither: stay with us here, nor from the Gods be distant.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
