Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 4.35

इहोप यात शवसो नपातः सौधन्वना ऋभवो माप भूत । अस्मिन् हि वः सवने रत्नधेयं गमन्त्व् इन्द्रम् अनु वो मदासः ॥

ihopa yāta śavaso napātaḥ saudhanvanā ṛbhavo māpa bhūta | asmin hi vaḥ savane ratnadheyaṃ gamantv indram anu vo madāsaḥ ||

Come hither, O ye Sons of Strength, ye Rbhus; stay not afar, ye Children of Sudhanvan. At this libation is your gift of treasure. Let gladdening draughts approach you after Indra's.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

आगन्न् ऋभूणाम् इह रत्नधेयम् अभूत् सोमस्य सुषुतस्य पीतिः । सुकृत्यया यत् स्वपस्यया चं एकं विचक्र चमसं चतुर्धा ॥

āgann ṛbhūṇām iha ratnadheyam abhūt somasya suṣutasya pītiḥ | sukṛtyayā yat svapasyayā caṃ ekaṃ vicakra camasaṃ caturdhā ||

Hither is come the Rbhus' gift of riches; here was the drinking of the well-pressed Soma, Since by dexterity and skill as craftsmen ye made the single chalice to be fourfold

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

व्य् अकृणोत चमसं चतुर्धा सखे वि शिक्षेत्य् अब्रवीत । अथैत वाजा अमृतस्य पन्थां गणं देवानाम् ऋभवः सुहस्ताः ॥

vy akṛṇota camasaṃ caturdhā sakhe vi śikṣety abravīta | athaita vājā amṛtasya panthāṃ gaṇaṃ devānām ṛbhavaḥ suhastāḥ ||

Ye made fourfold the chalice that wag single: ye spake these words and said, O Friend, assist us; Then, Vajas! gained the path of life eternal, deft-handed Rbhus, to the Gods' assembly.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

किम्मयः स्विच् चमस एष आस यं काव्येन चतुरो विचक्र । अथा सुनुध्वं सवनम् मदाय पात ऋभवो मधुनः सोम्यस्य ॥

kimmayaḥ svic camasa eṣa āsa yaṃ kāvyena caturo vicakra | athā sunudhvaṃ savanam madāya pāta ṛbhavo madhunaḥ somyasya ||

Out of what substance was that chalice fashioned which ye made fourfold by your art and wisdom? Now for the gladdening draught press out the liquor, and drink, O Rbhus, of die meath of Soma.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

शच्याकर्त पितरा युवाना शच्याकर्त चमसं देवपानम् । शच्या हरी धनुतराव् अतष्टेन्द्रवाहाव् ऋभवो वाजरत्नाः ॥

śacyākarta pitarā yuvānā śacyākarta camasaṃ devapānam | śacyā harī dhanutarāv ataṣṭendravāhāv ṛbhavo vājaratnāḥ ||

Ye with your cunning made your Parents youthful; the cup, for Gods to drink, ye formed with cunning; With cunning, Rbhus, rich in treasure, fashioned the two swift Tawny Steeds who carry Indra.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

यो वः सुनोत्य् अभिपित्वे अह्नां तीव्रं वाजासः सवनम् मदाय । तस्मै रयिम् ऋभवः सर्ववीरम् आ तक्षत वृषणो मन्दसानाः ॥

yo vaḥ sunoty abhipitve ahnāṃ tīvraṃ vājāsaḥ savanam madāya | tasmai rayim ṛbhavaḥ sarvavīram ā takṣata vṛṣaṇo mandasānāḥ ||

Whoso pours out for you, when days are closing, the sharp libation for your joy, O Vajas, For him, O mighty Rbhus, ye, rejoicing, have fashioned wealth with plenteous store of heroes.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

प्रातः सुतम् अपिबो हर्यश्व माध्यन्दिनं सवनं केवलं ते । सम् ऋभुभिः पिबस्व रत्नधेभिः सखींर् यां इन्द्र चकृषे सुकृत्या ॥

prātaḥ sutam apibo haryaśva mādhyandinaṃ savanaṃ kevalaṃ te | sam ṛbhubhiḥ pibasva ratnadhebhiḥ sakhīṃr yāṃ indra cakṛṣe sukṛtyā ||

Lord of Bay Steeds, at dawn the juice thou drankest: thine, only thine, is the noonday libation. Now drink thou with the wealth-bestowing Rbhus, whom for their skill thou madest friends, O Indra.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

ये देवासो अभवता सुकृत्या श्येना इवेद् अधि दिवि निषेद । ते रत्नं धात शवसो नपातः सौधन्वना अभवतामृतासः ॥

ye devāso abhavatā sukṛtyā śyenā ived adhi divi niṣeda | te ratnaṃ dhāta śavaso napātaḥ saudhanvanā abhavatāmṛtāsaḥ ||

Ye, whom your artist skill hath raised to Godhead have set you down above in heaven like falcons. So give us riches, Children of Sudhanvan, O Sons of Strength; ye have become immortal.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

यत् तृतीयं सवनं रत्नधेयम् अकृणुध्वं स्वपस्या सुहस्ताः । तद् ऋभवः परिषिक्तं व एतत् सम् मदेभिर् इन्द्रियेभिः पिबध्वम् ॥

yat tṛtīyaṃ savanaṃ ratnadheyam akṛṇudhvaṃ svapasyā suhastāḥ | tad ṛbhavaḥ pariṣiktaṃ va etat sam madebhir indriyebhiḥ pibadhvam ||

The third libation, that bestoweth treasure, which ye have won by skill, ye dexterous-handed,- This drink hath been effused for you, O Rbhus . drink it with high delight, with joy like Indra's.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
