Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·2·2.30
ऋतं देवाय कृण्वते सवित्र इन्द्रायाहिघ्ने न रमन्त आपः । अहर्-अहर् यात्य् अक्तुर् अपां कियात्य् आ प्रथमः सर्ग आसाम् ॥
ṛtaṃ devāya kṛṇvate savitra indrāyāhighne na ramanta āpaḥ | ahar-ahar yāty aktur apāṃ kiyāty ā prathamaḥ sarga āsām ||
The streams unceasing flow to Indra, slayer of Ahi, Savitar, God, Law's fulfiller, Day after day goes on the sheen of waters. What time hath past since they were first set flowing?
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यो वृत्राय सिनम् अत्राभरिष्यत् प्र तं जनित्री विदुष उवाच । पथो रदन्तीर् अनु जोषम् अस्मै दिवे-दिवे धुनयो यन्त्य् अर्थम् ॥
yo vṛtrāya sinam atrābhariṣyat pra taṃ janitrī viduṣa uvāca | patho radantīr anu joṣam asmai dive-dive dhunayo yanty artham ||
His Mother-for she knew-spake and proclaimed him who was about to cast his bolt at Vrtra. Cutting their paths according to his pleasure day after day flow to their goal the rivers.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ऊर्ध्वो ह्य् अस्थाद् अध्य् अन्तरिक्षे ऽधा वृत्राय प्र वधं जभार । मिहं वसान उप हीम् अदुद्रोत् तिग्मायुधो अजयच् छत्रुम् इन्द्रः ॥
ūrdhvo hy asthād adhy antarikṣe 'dhā vṛtrāya pra vadhaṃ jabhāra | mihaṃ vasāna upa hīm adudrot tigmāyudho ajayac chatrum indraḥ ||
Aloft he stood above the airy region, and against Vrtra shot his deadly missile. Enveloped in a cloud he rushed upon him. Indra subdued the foe with sharpened weapons.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
बृहस्पते तपुषाश्नेव विध्य वृकद्वरसो असुरस्य वीरान् । यथा जघन्थ धृषता पुरा चिद् एवा जहि शत्रुम् अस्माकम् इन्द्र ॥
bṛhaspate tapuṣāśneva vidhya vṛkadvaraso asurasya vīrān | yathā jaghantha dhṛṣatā purā cid evā jahi śatrum asmākam indra ||
As with a bolt, Brhaspati, fiercely flaming, pierce thou Vrkadvaras', the Asura's, heroes. Even as in time of old with might thou slewest, so slay even now our enemy, O Indra.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अव क्षिप दिवो अश्मानम् उच्चा येन शत्रुम् मन्दसानो निजूर्वाः । तोकस्य सातौ तनयस्य भूरेर् अस्मां अर्धं कृणुताद् इन्द्र गोनाम् ॥
ava kṣipa divo aśmānam uccā yena śatrum mandasāno nijūrvāḥ | tokasya sātau tanayasya bhūrer asmāṃ ardhaṃ kṛṇutād indra gonām ||
Cast down from heaven on high thy bolt of thunder wherewith in joy thou smitest dead the foeman. For gain of children make us thine, O Indra, of many children's children and of cattle.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
प्र हि क्रतुं वृहथो यं वनुथो रध्रस्य स्थो यजमानस्य चोदौ । इन्द्रासोमा युवम् अस्मां अविष्टम् अस्मिन् भयस्थे कृणुतम् उ लोकम् ॥
pra hi kratuṃ vṛhatho yaṃ vanutho radhrasya stho yajamānasya codau | indrāsomā yuvam asmāṃ aviṣṭam asmin bhayasthe kṛṇutam u lokam ||
Whomso ye love, his power ye aid and strengthen; ye Twain are the rich worshipper's advancers. Graciously favour us, Indra and Soma; give us firm standing in this time of danger.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
न मा तमन् न श्रमन् नोत तन्द्रन् न वोचाम मा सुनोतेति सोमम् । यो मे पृणाद् यो ददद् यो निबोधाद् यो मा सुन्वन्तम् उप गोभिर् आयत् ॥
na mā taman na śraman nota tandran na vocāma mā sunoteti somam | yo me pṛṇād yo dadad yo nibodhād yo mā sunvantam upa gobhir āyat ||
Let it not vex me, tire me, make me slothful, and never let us say, Press not the Soma; For him who cares for me, gives gifts, supports me, who comes with kine to me who pour libations.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सरस्वति त्वम् अस्मां अविड्ढि मरुत्वती धृषती जेषि शत्रून् । त्यं चिच् छर्धन्तं तविषीयमाणम् इन्द्रो हन्ति वृषभं शण्डिकानाम् ॥
sarasvati tvam asmāṃ aviḍḍhi marutvatī dhṛṣatī jeṣi śatrūn | tyaṃ cic chardhantaṃ taviṣīyamāṇam indro hanti vṛṣabhaṃ śaṇḍikānām ||
Sarasvati, protect us: with the Maruts allied thou boldly conquerest our foemen, While Indra does to death the daring chieftain of Sandikas exulting in his prowess.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यो नः सनुत्य उत वा जिघत्नुर् अभिख्याय तं तिगितेन विध्य । बृहस्पत आयुधैर् जेषि शत्रून् द्रुहे रीषन्तम् परि धेहि राजन् ॥
yo naḥ sanutya uta vā jighatnur abhikhyāya taṃ tigitena vidhya | bṛhaspata āyudhair jeṣi śatrūn druhe rīṣantam pari dhehi rājan ||
Him who waylays, yea, him who would destroy us,-aim at him, pierce him with thy sharpened weapon. Brhaspati, with arms thou slayest foemen O King, give up the spoiler to destruction.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अस्माकेभिः सत्वभिः शूर शूरैर् वीर्या कृधि यानि ते कर्त्वानि । ज्योग् अभूवन्न् अनुधूपितासो हत्वी तेषाम् आ भरा नो वसूनि ॥
asmākebhiḥ satvabhiḥ śūra śūrair vīryā kṛdhi yāni te kartvāni | jyog abhūvann anudhūpitāso hatvī teṣām ā bharā no vasūni ||
Perform, O Hero, with our valiant heroes the deeds heroic which thou hast to finish. Long have they been inflated with presumption: slay them, and bring us hither their possessions.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तं वः शर्धम् मारुतं सुम्नयुर् गिरोप ब्रुवे नमसा दैव्यं जनम् । यथा रयिं सर्ववीरं नशामहा अपत्यसाचं श्रुत्यं दिवे-दिवे ॥
taṃ vaḥ śardham mārutaṃ sumnayur giropa bruve namasā daivyaṃ janam | yathā rayiṃ sarvavīraṃ naśāmahā apatyasācaṃ śrutyaṃ dive-dive ||
I craving joy address with hymn and homage your heavenly host, the company of Maruts, That we may gain wealth with full store of heroes, each day more famous, and with troops of children.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
