Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.170

विभ्राड् बृहत् पिबतु सोम्यम् मध्व् आयुर् दधद् यज्ञपताव् अविह्रुतम् । वातजूतो यो अभिरक्षति त्मना प्रजाः पुपोष पुरुधा वि राजति ॥

vibhrāḍ bṛhat pibatu somyam madhv āyur dadhad yajñapatāv avihrutam | vātajūto yo abhirakṣati tmanā prajāḥ pupoṣa purudhā vi rājati ||

May the Bright God drink glorious Soma-mingled meath, giving the sacrifice's lord uninjured life; He who, wind-urged, in person guards our offspring well, hath nourished them with food and shines o'er many a land.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

विभ्राड् बृहत् सुभृतं वाजसातमं धर्मन् दिवो धरुणे सत्यम् अर्पितम् । अमित्रहा वृत्रहा दस्युहन्तमं ज्योतिर् जज्ञे असुरहा सपत्नहा ॥

vibhrāḍ bṛhat subhṛtaṃ vājasātamaṃ dharman divo dharuṇe satyam arpitam | amitrahā vṛtrahā dasyuhantamaṃ jyotir jajñe asurahā sapatnahā ||

Radiant, as high Truth, cherished, best at winning strength, Truth based upon the statute that supports the heavens, He rose, a light, that kills Vrtras and enemies, best slayer of the Dasyus, Asuras, and foes.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

इदं श्रेष्ठं ज्योतिषां ज्योतिर् उत्तमं विश्वजिद् धनजिद् उच्यते बृहत् । विश्वभ्राड् भ्राजो महि सूर्यो दृश उरु पप्रथे सह ओजो अच्युतम् ॥

idaṃ śreṣṭhaṃ jyotiṣāṃ jyotir uttamaṃ viśvajid dhanajid ucyate bṛhat | viśvabhrāḍ bhrājo mahi sūryo dṛśa uru paprathe saha ojo acyutam ||

This light, the best of lights, supreme, all-conquering, winner of riches, is exalted with high laud. All-lighting, radiant, mighty as the Sun to see, he spreadeth wide unfailing victory and strength.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

विभ्राजञ् ज्योतिषा स्वर् अगच्छो रोचनं दिवः । येनेमा विश्वा भुवनान्य् आभृता विश्वकर्मणा विश्वदेव्यावता ॥

vibhrājañ jyotiṣā svar agaccho rocanaṃ divaḥ | yenemā viśvā bhuvanāny ābhṛtā viśvakarmaṇā viśvadevyāvatā ||

Beaming forth splendour with thy light, thou hast attained heaven's lustrous realm. By thee were brought together all existing things, possessor of all Godhead, All-effecting God.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
