Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.125

अहं रुद्रेभिर् वसुभिश् चराम्य् अहम् आदित्यैर् उत विश्वदेवैः । अहम् मित्रावरुणोभा बिभर्म्य् अहम् इन्द्राग्नी अहम् अश्विनोभा ॥

ahaṃ rudrebhir vasubhiś carāmy aham ādityair uta viśvadevaiḥ | aham mitrāvaruṇobhā bibharmy aham indrāgnī aham aśvinobhā ||

I TRAVEL with the Rudras and the Vasus, with the Adityas and All-Gods I wander. I hold aloft both Varuna and Mitra, Indra and Agni, and the Pair of Asvins.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अहं सोमम् आहनसम् बिभर्म्य् अहं त्वष्टारम् उत पूषणम् भगम् । अहं दधामि द्रविणं हविष्मते सुप्राव्ये यजमानाय सुन्वते ॥

ahaṃ somam āhanasam bibharmy ahaṃ tvaṣṭāram uta pūṣaṇam bhagam | ahaṃ dadhāmi draviṇaṃ haviṣmate suprāvye yajamānāya sunvate ||

I cherish and sustain high-swelling Soma, and Tvastar I support, Pusan, and Bhaga. I load with wealth the zealous sacrificer who pours the juice and offers his oblation

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अहं राष्ट्री संगमनी वसूनां चिकितुषी प्रथमा यज्ञियानाम् । ताम् मा देवा व्य् अदधुः पुरुत्रा भूरिस्थात्राम् भूर्य् आवेशयन्तीम् ॥

ahaṃ rāṣṭrī saṃgamanī vasūnāṃ cikituṣī prathamā yajñiyānām | tām mā devā vy adadhuḥ purutrā bhūristhātrām bhūry āveśayantīm ||

I am the Queen, the gatherer-up of treasures, most thoughtful, first of those who merit worship. Thus Gods have stablished me in many places with many homes to enter and abide in.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

मया सो अन्नम् अत्ति यो विपश्यति यः प्राणिति य ईं शृणोत्य् उक्तम् । अमन्तवो मां त उप क्षियन्ति श्रुधि श्रुत श्रद्धिवं ते वदामि ॥

mayā so annam atti yo vipaśyati yaḥ prāṇiti ya īṃ śṛṇoty uktam | amantavo māṃ ta upa kṣiyanti śrudhi śruta śraddhivaṃ te vadāmi ||

Through me alone all eat the food that feeds them,-each man who sees, breathes, hears the word outspoken They know it not, but yet they dwell beside me. Hear, one and all, the truth as I declare it.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अहम् एव स्वयम् इदं वदामि जुष्टं देवेभिर् उत मानुषेभिः । यं कामये तं-तम् उग्रं कृणोमि तम् ब्रह्माणं तम् ऋषिं तं सुमेधाम् ॥

aham eva svayam idaṃ vadāmi juṣṭaṃ devebhir uta mānuṣebhiḥ | yaṃ kāmaye taṃ-tam ugraṃ kṛṇomi tam brahmāṇaṃ tam ṛṣiṃ taṃ sumedhām ||

I, verily, myself announce and utter the word that Gods and men alike shall welcome. I make the man I love exceeding mighty, make him a sage, a Rsi, and a Brahman.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अहं रुद्राय धनुर् आ तनोमि ब्रह्मद्विषे शरवे हन्तवा उ । अहं जनाय समदं कृणोम्य् अहं द्यावापृथिवी आ विवेश ॥

ahaṃ rudrāya dhanur ā tanomi brahmadviṣe śarave hantavā u | ahaṃ janāya samadaṃ kṛṇomy ahaṃ dyāvāpṛthivī ā viveśa ||

I bend the bow for Rudra that his arrow may strike and slay the hater of devotion. I rouse and order battle for the people, and I have penetrated Earth and Heaven.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अहं सुवे पितरम् अस्य मूर्धन् मम योनिर् अप्स्व् अन्तः समुद्रे । ततो वि तिष्ठे भुवनानु विश्वोतामूं द्यां वर्ष्मणोप स्पृशामि ॥

ahaṃ suve pitaram asya mūrdhan mama yonir apsv antaḥ samudre | tato vi tiṣṭhe bhuvanānu viśvotāmūṃ dyāṃ varṣmaṇopa spṛśāmi ||

On the world's summit I bring forth the Father: my home is in the waters, in the ocean. Thence I extend o'er all existing creatures, and touch even yonder heaven with my forehead.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अहम् एव वात इव प्र वाम्य् आरभमाणा भुवनानि विश्वा । परो दिवा पर एना पृथिव्यैतावती महिना सम् बभूव ॥

aham eva vāta iva pra vāmy ārabhamāṇā bhuvanāni viśvā | paro divā para enā pṛthivyaitāvatī mahinā sam babhūva ||

I breathe a strong breath like the wind and tempest, the while I hold together all existence. Beyond this wide earth and beyond the heavens I have become so mighty in my grandeur.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
