Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·10·10.19
नि वर्तध्वम् मानु गातास्मान् सिषक्त रेवतीः । अग्नीषोमा पुनर्वसू अस्मे धारयतं रयिम् ॥
ni vartadhvam mānu gātāsmān siṣakta revatīḥ | agnīṣomā punarvasū asme dhārayataṃ rayim ||
Turn, go not farther on your way: visit us, O ye Wealthy Ones. Agni and Soma, ye who bring riches again, secure us wealth.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
पुनर् एना नि वर्तय पुनर् एना न्य् आ कुरु । इन्द्र एणा नि यच्छत्व् अग्निर् एना उपाजतु ॥
punar enā ni vartaya punar enā ny ā kuru | indra eṇā ni yacchatv agnir enā upājatu ||
Make these return to us again, bring them beside us once again. May. Indra give them back to us, and Agni drive them hither-ward.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
पुनर् एता नि वर्तन्ताम् अस्मिन् पुष्यन्तु गोपतौ । इहैवाग्ने नि धारयेह तिष्ठतु या रयिः ॥
punar etā ni vartantām asmin puṣyantu gopatau | ihaivāgne ni dhārayeha tiṣṭhatu yā rayiḥ ||
Let them return to us again: under this herdsman let them feed. Do thou, O Agni, keep them here, and let the wealth we have remain.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यन् नियानं न्ययनं संज्ञानं यत् परायणम् । आवर्तनं निवर्तनं यो गोपा अपि तं हुवे ॥
yan niyānaṃ nyayanaṃ saṃjñānaṃ yat parāyaṇam | āvartanaṃ nivartanaṃ yo gopā api taṃ huve ||
1 call upon their herdsman, him who knoweth well their coming nigh, Their parting and their home-return, and watcheth their approach and rest.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
य उदानड् व्ययनं य उदानट् परायणम् । आवर्तनं निवर्तनम् अपि गोपा नि वर्तताम् ॥
ya udānaḍ vyayanaṃ ya udānaṭ parāyaṇam | āvartanaṃ nivartanam api gopā ni vartatām ||
Yea, let the herdsman, too, return, who marketh well their driving-forth; Marketh their wandering away, their turning back and coming home.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ निवर्त नि वर्तय पुनर् न इन्द्र गा देहि । जीवाभिर् भुनजामहै ॥
ā nivarta ni vartaya punar na indra gā dehi | jīvābhir bhunajāmahai ||
Home-leader, lead them home to us; Indra, restore to us our kine: We will rejoice in them alive.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
परि वो विश्वतो दध ऊर्जा घृतेन पयसा । ये देवाः के च यज्ञियास् ते रय्या सं सृजन्तु नः ॥
pari vo viśvato dadha ūrjā ghṛtena payasā | ye devāḥ ke ca yajñiyās te rayyā saṃ sṛjantu naḥ ||
1 offer you on every side butter and milk and strengthening food. May all the Holy Deities pour down on us a flood of wealth.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ निवर्तन वर्तय नि निवर्तन वर्तय । भूम्याश् चतस्रः प्रदिशस् ताभ्य एना नि वर्तय ॥
ā nivartana vartaya ni nivartana vartaya | bhūmyāś catasraḥ pradiśas tābhya enā ni vartaya ||
O thou Home-leader, lead them home, restore them thou who bringest home. Four are the quarters of the earth; from these bring back to us our kine,
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
