Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·3·3.56
न ता मिनन्ति मायिनो न धीरा व्रता देवानाम् प्रथमा ध्रुवाणि । न रोदसी अद्रुहा वेद्याभिर् न पर्वता निनमे तस्थिवांसः ॥
na tā minanti māyino na dhīrā vratā devānām prathamā dhruvāṇi | na rodasī adruhā vedyābhir na parvatā niname tasthivāṃsaḥ ||
Not men of magic skill, not men of wisdom impair the Gods' first steadfast ordinances. Ne'er may the earth and heaven which know not malice, nor the fixed hills, be bowed by sage devices.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
षड् भारां एको अचरन् बिभर्त्य् ऋतं वर्षिष्ठम् उप गाव आगुः । तिस्रो महीर् उपरास् तस्थुर् अत्या गुहा द्वे निहिते दर्श्य् एका ॥
ṣaḍ bhārāṃ eko acaran bibharty ṛtaṃ varṣiṣṭham upa gāva āguḥ | tisro mahīr uparās tasthur atyā guhā dve nihite darśy ekā ||
One, moving not away, supports six burthens: the Cows proceed to him the true, the Highest. Near stand three Mighty Ones who travel swiftly: two are concealed from sight, one is apparent.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्रिपाजस्यो वृषभो विश्वरूप उत त्र्युधा पुरुध प्रजावान् । त्र्यनीकः पत्यते माहिनावान् स रेतोधा वृषभः शश्वतीनाम् ॥
tripājasyo vṛṣabho viśvarūpa uta tryudhā purudha prajāvān | tryanīkaḥ patyate māhināvān sa retodhā vṛṣabhaḥ śaśvatīnām ||
The Bull who wears all shapes, the triple-breasted, three-uddered, with a brood in many places, Ruleth majestic with his triple aspect, the Bull, the Everlasting Ones' impregner.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अभीक आसाम् पदवीर् अबोध्य् आदित्यानाम् अह्वे चारु नाम । आपश् चिद् अस्मा अरमन्त देवीः पृथग् व्रजन्तीः परि षीम् अवृञ्जन् ॥
abhīka āsām padavīr abodhy ādityānām ahve cāru nāma | āpaś cid asmā aramanta devīḥ pṛthag vrajantīḥ pari ṣīm avṛñjan ||
When nigh them, as their tracer he observed them: he called aloud the dear name of Adityas. The Goddesses, the Waters, stayed to meet him: they who were wandering separate enclosed him.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्री षधस्था सिन्धवस् त्रिः कवीनाम् उत त्रिमाता विदथेषु सम्राट् । ऋतावरीर् योषणास् तिस्रो अप्यास् त्रिर् आ दिवो विदथे पत्यमानाः ॥
trī ṣadhasthā sindhavas triḥ kavīnām uta trimātā vidatheṣu samrāṭ | ṛtāvarīr yoṣaṇās tisro apyās trir ā divo vidathe patyamānāḥ ||
Streams! the wise Gods have thrice three habitations. Child of three Mothers, he is Lord in synods. Three are the holy Ladies of the Waters, thrice here from heaven supreme in our assembly.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्रिर् आ दिवः सवितर् वार्याणि दिवे-दिव आ सुव त्रिर् नो अह्नः । त्रिधातु राय आ सुवा वसूनि भग त्रातर् धिषणे सातये धाः ॥
trir ā divaḥ savitar vāryāṇi dive-diva ā suva trir no ahnaḥ | tridhātu rāya ā suvā vasūni bhaga trātar dhiṣaṇe sātaye dhāḥ ||
Do thou, O Savitar, from heaven thrice hither, three times a day, send down thy blessings daily. Send us, O Bhaga, triple wealth and treasure; cause the two worlds to prosper us, Preserver!
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्रिर् आ दिवः सविता सोषवीति राजाना मित्रावरुणा सुपाणी । आपश् चिद् अस्य रोदसी चिद् उर्वी रत्नम् भिक्षन्त सवितुः सवाय ॥
trir ā divaḥ savitā soṣavīti rājānā mitrāvaruṇā supāṇī | āpaś cid asya rodasī cid urvī ratnam bhikṣanta savituḥ savāya ||
Savitar thrice from heaven pours down abundance, and the fair-handed Kings Varuna, Mitra; And spacious Heaven and Earth, yea, and the Waters, solicit wealth that Savitar may send us.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्रिर् उत्तमा दूणशा रोचनानि त्रयो राजन्त्य् असुरस्य वीराः । ऋतावान इषिरा दूळभासस् त्रिर् आ दिवो विदथे सन्तु देवाः ॥
trir uttamā dūṇaśā rocanāni trayo rājanty asurasya vīrāḥ | ṛtāvāna iṣirā dūḷabhāsas trir ā divo vidathe santu devāḥ ||
Three are the bright realms, best, beyond attainment, and three, the Asura's Heroes, rule as Sovrans, Holy and vigorous, never to be injured. Thrice may the Gods from heaven attend our synod.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
