Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·4·4.14
प्रत्य् अग्निर् उषसो जातवेदा अख्यद् देवो रोचमाना महोभिः । आ नासत्योरुगाया रथेनेमं यज्ञम् उप नो यातम् अच्छ ॥
praty agnir uṣaso jātavedā akhyad devo rocamānā mahobhiḥ | ā nāsatyorugāyā rathenemaṃ yajñam upa no yātam accha ||
The God hath looked, even Agni Jatavedas, to meet the Dawns refulgent in their glories. Come on your chariot, ye who travel widely, come to this sacrifice of ours, Nasatyas.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ऊर्ध्वं केतुं सविता देवो अश्रेज् ज्योतिर् विश्वस्मै भुवनाय कृण्वन् । आप्रा द्यावापृथिवी अन्तरिक्षं वि सूर्यो रश्मिभिश् चेकितानः ॥
ūrdhvaṃ ketuṃ savitā devo aśrej jyotir viśvasmai bhuvanāya kṛṇvan | āprā dyāvāpṛthivī antarikṣaṃ vi sūryo raśmibhiś cekitānaḥ ||
Producing light for all the world of creatures, God Savitar hath raised aloft his banner. Making his presence known by sunbeams, Surya hath filled the firmament and earth and heaven.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आवहन्त्य् अरुणीर् ज्योतिषागान् मही चित्रा रश्मिभिश् चेकिताना । प्रबोधयन्ती सुविताय देव्य् उषा ईयते सुयुजा रथेन ॥
āvahanty aruṇīr jyotiṣāgān mahī citrā raśmibhiś cekitānā | prabodhayantī suvitāya devy uṣā īyate suyujā rathena ||
Red Dawn.is come, riding with brightness onward, distinguished by her beams, gay-hued and mighty. Dawn on her nobly-harnessed car, the Goddess, awaking men to happiness, approacheth.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ वां वहिष्ठा इह ते वहन्तु रथा अश्वास उषसो व्युष्टौ । इमे हि वाम् मधुपेयाय सोमा अस्मिन् यज्ञे वृषणा मादयेथाम् ॥
ā vāṃ vahiṣṭhā iha te vahantu rathā aśvāsa uṣaso vyuṣṭau | ime hi vām madhupeyāya somā asmin yajñe vṛṣaṇā mādayethām ||
May those most powerful steeds and chariot bring you, O Asvins, hither at the break of morning. Here for your draught of meath are Soma juices: at this our sacrifice rejoice, ye Mighty.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अनायतो अनिबद्धः कथायं न्यङ्ङ् उत्तानो ऽव पद्यते न । कया याति स्वधया को ददर्श दिव स्कम्भः समृतः पाति नाकम् ॥
anāyato anibaddhaḥ kathāyaṃ nyaṅṅ uttāno 'va padyate na | kayā yāti svadhayā ko dadarśa diva skambhaḥ samṛtaḥ pāti nākam ||
How is it that, unbound and unsupported, he falleth not although directed downward? By what self-power moves he? Who hath seen it? He guards the vault of heaven, a close-set pillar?
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
