Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·10·10.176
प्र सूनव ऋभूणाम् बृहन् नवन्त वृजना । क्षामा ये विश्वधायसो ऽश्नन् धेनुं न मातरम् ॥
pra sūnava ṛbhūṇām bṛhan navanta vṛjanā | kṣāmā ye viśvadhāyaso 'śnan dhenuṃ na mātaram ||
With hymns of praise their sons have told aloud the Rbhus' mighty deeds. Who, all-supporting, have enjoyed the earth as, twere a mother cow.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
प्र देवं देव्या धिया भरता जातवेदसम् । हव्या नो वक्षद् आनुषक् ॥
pra devaṃ devyā dhiyā bharatā jātavedasam | havyā no vakṣad ānuṣak ||
Bring forth the God with song divine, being Jatavedas hitherward, To bear our gifts at once to heaven.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अयम् उ ष्य प्र देवयुर् होता यज्ञाय नीयते । रथो न योर् अभीवृतो घृणीवाञ् चेतति त्मना ॥
ayam u ṣya pra devayur hotā yajñāya nīyate | ratho na yor abhīvṛto ghṛṇīvāñ cetati tmanā ||
He here, a God-devoted Priest, led forward comes to sacrifice. Like a car covered for the road, he, glowing, knows, himself, the way.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अयम् अग्निर् उरुष्यत्य् अमृताद् इव जन्मनः । सहसश् चित् सहीयान् देवो जीवातवे कृतः ॥
ayam agnir uruṣyaty amṛtād iva janmanaḥ | sahasaś cit sahīyān devo jīvātave kṛtaḥ ||
This Agni rescues from distress, as 'twere from the Immortal Race, A God yet mightier than strength, a God who hath been made for life.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
