Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·10·10.49
अहं दां गृणते पूर्व्यं वस्व् अहम् ब्रह्म कृणवम् मह्यं वर्धनम् । अहम् भुवं यजमानस्य चोदितायज्वनः साक्षि विश्वस्मिन् भरे ॥
ahaṃ dāṃ gṛṇate pūrvyaṃ vasv aham brahma kṛṇavam mahyaṃ vardhanam | aham bhuvaṃ yajamānasya coditāyajvanaḥ sākṣi viśvasmin bhare ||
I HAVE enriched the singer with surpassing wealth; I have allowed the holy hymn to strengthen me. I, furtherer of him who offers sacrifice, have conquered in each fight the men who worship not.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
मां धुर् इन्द्रं नाम देवता दिवश् च ग्मश् चापां च जन्तवः । अहं हरी वृषणा विव्रता रघू अहं वज्रं शवसे धृष्ण्व् आ ददे ॥
māṃ dhur indraṃ nāma devatā divaś ca gmaś cāpāṃ ca jantavaḥ | ahaṃ harī vṛṣaṇā vivratā raghū ahaṃ vajraṃ śavase dhṛṣṇv ā dade ||
The People of the heavens, the waters, and the earth have stablished me among the Gods with Indra's name. I took unto myself the two swift vigorous Bays that speed on divers paths, and the fierce bolt for strength.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अहम् अत्कं कवये शिश्नथं हथैर् अहं कुत्सम् आवम् आभिर् ऊतिभिः । अहं शुष्णस्य श्नथिता वधर् यमं न यो रर आर्यं नाम दस्यवे ॥
aham atkaṃ kavaye śiśnathaṃ hathair ahaṃ kutsam āvam ābhir ūtibhiḥ | ahaṃ śuṣṇasya śnathitā vadhar yamaṃ na yo rara āryaṃ nāma dasyave ||
With deadly blows I smote Atka for Kavi's sake; I guarded Kutsa well with these saving helps. As Susna's slayer I brandished the dart of death: I gave not up the Aryan name to Dasyu foes.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अहम् पितेव वेतसूंर् अभिष्टये तुग्रं कुत्साय स्मदिभं च रन्धयम् । अहम् भुवं यजमानस्य राजनि प्र यद् भरे तुजये न प्रियाधृषे ॥
aham piteva vetasūṃr abhiṣṭaye tugraṃ kutsāya smadibhaṃ ca randhayam | aham bhuvaṃ yajamānasya rājani pra yad bhare tujaye na priyādhṛṣe ||
Smadibha, Tugra, and the Vetasus I gave as prey to Kutsa, father-like, to succour him. I was a worthy King to rule the worshipper, when I gave Tuji dear inviolable gifts.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अहं रन्धयम् मृगयं श्रुतर्वणे यन् माजिहीत वयुना चनानुषक् । अहं वेशं नम्रम् आयवे ऽकरम् अहं सव्याय पड्गृभिम् अरन्धयम् ॥
ahaṃ randhayam mṛgayaṃ śrutarvaṇe yan mājihīta vayunā canānuṣak | ahaṃ veśaṃ namram āyave 'karam ahaṃ savyāya paḍgṛbhim arandhayam ||
I gave up Mrgaya to Srutarvan as his prey because he ever followed me and kept my laws. For Ayu's sake I caused Veta to bend and bow, and into Savya's hand delivered Padgrbhi.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अहं स यो नववास्त्वम् बृहद्रथं सं वृत्रेव दासं वृत्रहारुजम् । यद् वर्धयन्तम् प्रथयन्तम् आनुषग् दूरे पारे रजसो रोचनाकरम् ॥
ahaṃ sa yo navavāstvam bṛhadrathaṃ saṃ vṛtreva dāsaṃ vṛtrahārujam | yad vardhayantam prathayantam ānuṣag dūre pāre rajaso rocanākaram ||
1, I crushed Navavastva of the lofty car, the Dasa, as the Vrtra-slayer kills the fiends; When straightway on the region's farthest edge I brought the God who makes the lights to broaden and increase.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अहं सूर्यस्य परि याम्य् आशुभिः प्रैतशेभिर् वहमान ओजसा । यन् मा सावो मनुष आह निर्णिज ऋधक् कृषे दासं कृत्व्यं हथैः ॥
ahaṃ sūryasya pari yāmy āśubhiḥ praitaśebhir vahamāna ojasā | yan mā sāvo manuṣa āha nirṇija ṛdhak kṛṣe dāsaṃ kṛtvyaṃ hathaiḥ ||
I travel round about borne onward in my might by the fleet-footed dappled Horses of the Sun. When man's libation calls me to the robe of state I soon repel the powerful Dasyu with my blows.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अहं सप्तहा नहुषो नहुष्टरः प्राश्रावयं शवसा तुर्वशं यदुम् । अहं न्य् अन्यं सहसा सहस् करं नव व्राधतो नवतिं च वक्षयम् ॥
ahaṃ saptahā nahuṣo nahuṣṭaraḥ prāśrāvayaṃ śavasā turvaśaṃ yadum | ahaṃ ny anyaṃ sahasā sahas karaṃ nava vrādhato navatiṃ ca vakṣayam ||
Stronger am I than Nabus, I who slew the seven: I glorified with might Yadu and Turvaga. I brought another low, with strength I bent his strength: I let the mighty nine-and-ninety wax in power.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अहं सप्त स्रवतो धारयं वृषा द्रवित्न्वः पृथिव्यां सीरा अधि । अहम् अर्णांसि वि तिरामि सुक्रतुर् युधा विदम् मनवे गातुम् इष्टये ॥
ahaṃ sapta sravato dhārayaṃ vṛṣā dravitnvaḥ pṛthivyāṃ sīrā adhi | aham arṇāṃsi vi tirāmi sukratur yudhā vidam manave gātum iṣṭaye ||
Bull over all the streams that flow along the earth, I took the Seven Rivers as mine own domain. I, gifted with great wisdom, spread the floods abroad: by war I found for man the way to high success.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अहं तद् आसु धारयं यद् आसु न देवश् चन त्वष्टाधारयद् रुशत् । स्पार्हं गवाम् ऊधस्सु वक्षणास्व् आ मधोर् मधु श्वात्र्यं सोमम् आशिरम् ॥
ahaṃ tad āsu dhārayaṃ yad āsu na devaś cana tvaṣṭādhārayad ruśat | spārhaṃ gavām ūdhassu vakṣaṇāsv ā madhor madhu śvātryaṃ somam āśiram ||
I set within these cows the white milk which no God, not even Tvastar's self, had there deposited,- Much-longed-for, in the breasts, the udders of the kine, the savoury sweets of meath, the milk and Soma juice.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
एवा देवां इन्द्रो विव्ये नॄन् प्र च्यौत्नेन मघवा सत्यराधाः । विश्वेत् ता ते हरिवः शचीवो ऽभि तुरासः स्वयशो गृणन्ति ॥
evā devāṃ indro vivye nṝn pra cyautnena maghavā satyarādhāḥ | viśvet tā te harivaḥ śacīvo 'bhi turāsaḥ svayaśo gṛṇanti ||
Even thus hath Indra Maghavan, truly bounteous, sped Gods and men with mighty operation. The pious glorify all these thine exploits, Lord of Bay Coursers, Strong, and self resplendent.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
