Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.149

सविता यन्त्रैः पृथिवीम् अरम्णाद् अस्कम्भने सविता द्याम् अदृंहत् । अश्वम् इवाधुक्षद् धुनिम् अन्तरिक्षम् अतूर्ते बद्धं सविता समुद्रम् ॥

savitā yantraiḥ pṛthivīm aramṇād askambhane savitā dyām adṛṃhat | aśvam ivādhukṣad dhunim antarikṣam atūrte baddhaṃ savitā samudram ||

Savitar fixed the earth with bands to bind it, and made heaven steadfast where no prop supported. Savitar milked, as 'twere a restless courser, air, sea bound fast to what no foot had trodden.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

RV 10.149.2

यत्रा समुद्र स्कभितो व्य् औनद् अपां नपात् सविता तस्य वेद । अतो भूर् अत आ उत्थितं रजो ऽतो द्यावापृथिवी अप्रथेताम् ॥

yatrā samudra skabhito vy aunad apāṃ napāt savitā tasya veda | ato bhūr ata ā utthitaṃ rajo 'to dyāvāpṛthivī aprathetām ||

Well knoweth Savitar, O Child of Waters, where ocean, firmly fixt, o'erflowed its limit. Thence sprang the world, from that uprose the region: thence heaven spread out and the wide earth expanded.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

RV 10.149.3

पश्चेदम् अन्यद् अभवद् यजत्रम् अमर्त्यस्य भुवनस्य भूना । सुपर्णो अङ्ग सवितुर् गरुत्मान् पूर्वो जातः स उ अस्यानु धर्म ॥

paścedam anyad abhavad yajatram amartyasya bhuvanasya bhūnā | suparṇo aṅga savitur garutmān pūrvo jātaḥ sa u asyānu dharma ||

Then, with a full crowd of Immortal Beings, this other realm came later, high and holy. First, verily, Savitar's strong-pinioned Eagle was born: and he obeys his law for ever.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

RV 10.149.4

गाव इव ग्रामं यूयुधिर् इवाश्वान् वाश्रेव वत्सं सुमना दुहाना । पतिर् इव जायाम् अभि नो न्य् एतु धर्ता दिवः सविता विश्ववारः ॥

gāva iva grāmaṃ yūyudhir ivāśvān vāśreva vatsaṃ sumanā duhānā | patir iva jāyām abhi no ny etu dhartā divaḥ savitā viśvavāraḥ ||

As warriors to their steeds, kine to their village, as fond milk giving cows approach their youngling, As man to wife, let Savitar come downward to us, heaven's bearer, Lord of every blessing.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

RV 10.149.5

हिरण्यस्तूपः सवितर् यथा त्वाङ्गिरसो जुह्वे वाजे अस्मिन् । एवा त्वार्चन्न् अवसे वन्दमानः सोमस्येवांशुम् प्रति जागराहम् ॥

hiraṇyastūpaḥ savitar yathā tvāṅgiraso juhve vāje asmin | evā tvārcann avase vandamānaḥ somasyevāṃśum prati jāgarāham ||

Like the Angirasa Hiranvastupa, I call thee, Savitar, to this achievement: So worshipping and lauding thee for favour I watch for thee as for the stalk of Soma.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
