Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.178

त्यम् ऊ षु वाजिनं देवजूतं सहावानं तरुतारं रथानाम् । अरिष्टनेमिम् पृतनाजम् आशुं स्वस्तये तार्क्ष्यम् इहा हुवेम ॥

tyam ū ṣu vājinaṃ devajūtaṃ sahāvānaṃ tarutāraṃ rathānām | ariṣṭanemim pṛtanājam āśuṃ svastaye tārkṣyam ihā huvema ||

This very mighty one whom Gods commission, the Conqueror of cars, ever triumphant, Swift, fleet to battle, with uninjured fellies, even Tarksya for our weal will we call hither.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

इन्द्रस्येव रातिम् आजोहुवानाः स्वस्तये नावम् इवा रुहेम । उर्वी न पृथ्वी बहुले गभीरे मा वाम् एतौ मा परेतौ रिषाम ॥

indrasyeva rātim ājohuvānāḥ svastaye nāvam ivā ruhema | urvī na pṛthvī bahule gabhīre mā vām etau mā paretau riṣāma ||

As though we offered up our gifts to Indra, may we ascend. him as a ship. for safety. Like the two wide worlds, broad, deep far-extended, may we be safe both when he comes and leaves you.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

सद्यश् चिद् यः शवसा पञ्च कृष्टीः सूर्य इव ज्योतिषापस् ततान । सहस्रसाः शतसा अस्य रंहिर् न स्मा वरन्ते युवतिं न शर्याम् ॥

sadyaś cid yaḥ śavasā pañca kṛṣṭīḥ sūrya iva jyotiṣāpas tatāna | sahasrasāḥ śatasā asya raṃhir na smā varante yuvatiṃ na śaryām ||

He who with might the Five Lands hath pervaded, like Surya with his lustre, and the waters- His strength wins hundreds, thousands none avert it, as the young maid repelleth not her lover.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
