Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·10·10.76
आ व ऋञ्जस ऊर्जां व्युष्टिष्व् इन्द्रम् मरुतो रोदसी अनक्तन । उभे यथा नो अहनी सचाभुवा सदः-सदो वरिवस्यात उद्भिदा ॥
ā va ṛñjasa ūrjāṃ vyuṣṭiṣv indram maruto rodasī anaktana | ubhe yathā no ahanī sacābhuvā sadaḥ-sado varivasyāta udbhidā ||
I GRASP at you when power and strength begin to dawn: bedew ye, Indra and the Maruts, Heaven and Earth, That Day and Night, in every hall of sacrifice, may wait on us and bless us when they first spring forth.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तद् उ श्रेष्ठं सवनं सुनोतनात्यो न हस्तयतो अद्रिः सोतरि । विदद् ध्य् अर्यो अभिभूति पौंस्यम् महो राये चित् तरुते यद् अर्वतः ॥
tad u śreṣṭhaṃ savanaṃ sunotanātyo na hastayato adriḥ sotari | vidad dhy aryo abhibhūti pauṃsyam maho rāye cit tarute yad arvataḥ ||
Press the libation out, most excellent of all: the Pressing-stone is grasped like a hand-guided steed. So let it win the valour that subdues the foe, and the fleet courser's might that speeds to ample wealth.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तद् इद् ध्य् अस्य सवनं विवेर् अपो यथा पुरा मनवे गातुम् अश्रेत् । गोअर्णसि त्वाष्ट्रे अश्वनिर्णिजि प्रेम् अध्वरेष्व् अध्वरां अशिश्रयुः ॥
tad id dhy asya savanaṃ viver apo yathā purā manave gātum aśret | goarṇasi tvāṣṭre aśvanirṇiji prem adhvareṣv adhvarāṃ aśiśrayuḥ ||
Juice that this Stone pours out removes defect of ours, as in old time it brought prosperity to man. At sacrifices they established holy rites on Tvastar's milk-blent juice bright with the hue of steeds.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अप हत रक्षसो भङ्गुरावत स्कभायत निरृतिं सेधतामतिम् । आ नो रयिं सर्ववीरं सुनोतन देवाव्यम् भरत श्लोकम् अद्रयः ॥
apa hata rakṣaso bhaṅgurāvata skabhāyata nirṛtiṃ sedhatāmatim | ā no rayiṃ sarvavīraṃ sunotana devāvyam bharata ślokam adrayaḥ ||
Drive ye the treacherous demons far away from us: keep Nirrti afar and banish Penury. Pour riches forth for us with troops of hero sons, and bear ye up, O Stones, the song that visits Gods.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
दिवश् चिद् आ वो ऽमवत्तरेभ्यो विभ्वना चिद् आश्वपस्तरेभ्यः । वायोश् चिद् आ सोमरभस्तरेभ्यो ऽग्नेश् चिद् अर्च पितुकृत्तरेभ्यः ॥
divaś cid ā vo 'mavattarebhyo vibhvanā cid āśvapastarebhyaḥ | vāyoś cid ā somarabhastarebhyo 'gneś cid arca pitukṛttarebhyaḥ ||
To you who are more mighty than the heavens themselves, who, finishing your task with more than Vibhvan's speed, More rapidly than Vayu seize the Soma juice, better than Agni give us food, to you I sing.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
भुरन्तु नो यशसः सोत्व् अन्धसो ग्रावाणो वाचा दिविता दिवित्मता । नरो यत्र दुहते काम्यम् मध्व् आघोषयन्तो अभितो मिथस्तुरः ॥
bhurantu no yaśasaḥ sotv andhaso grāvāṇo vācā divitā divitmatā | naro yatra duhate kāmyam madhv āghoṣayanto abhito mithasturaḥ ||
Stirred be the glorious Stones: let it press out the juice, the Stone with heavenly song that reaches up to heaven, There where the men draw forth the meath for which they long, sending their voice around in rivalry of speed.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सुन्वन्ति सोमं रथिरासो अद्रयो निर् अस्य रसं गविषो दुहन्ति ते । दुहन्त्य् ऊधर् उपसेचनाय कं नरो हव्या न मर्जयन्त आसभिः ॥
sunvanti somaṃ rathirāso adrayo nir asya rasaṃ gaviṣo duhanti te | duhanty ūdhar upasecanāya kaṃ naro havyā na marjayanta āsabhiḥ ||
The Stones press out the Soma, swift as car-borne men, and, eager for the spoil, drain forth the sap thereof To fill the beaker, they exhaust the udder's store, as the men purify oblations with their lips.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
एते नरः स्वपसो अभूतन य इन्द्राय सुनुथ सोमम् अद्रयः । वामं-वामं वो दिव्याय धाम्ने वसु-वसु वः पार्थिवाय सुन्वते ॥
ete naraḥ svapaso abhūtana ya indrāya sunutha somam adrayaḥ | vāmaṃ-vāmaṃ vo divyāya dhāmne vasu-vasu vaḥ pārthivāya sunvate ||
Ye, present men, have been most skillful in your work, even ye, O Stones who pressed Soma for Indra's drink. May all ye have of fair go to the Heavenly Race, and all your treasure to the earthly worshipper.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
