Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·4·4.37
उप नो वाजा अध्वरम् ऋभुक्षा देवा यात पथिभिर् देवयानैः । यथा यज्ञम् मनुषो विक्ष्व् आसु दधिध्वे रण्वाः सुदिनेष्व् अह्नाम् ॥
upa no vājā adhvaram ṛbhukṣā devā yāta pathibhir devayānaiḥ | yathā yajñam manuṣo vikṣv āsu dadhidhve raṇvāḥ sudineṣv ahnām ||
Come to our sacrifice, Vajas, Rbhuksans, Gods, by the paths which Gods are wont to travel, As ye, gay Gods, accept in splendid weather the sacrifice among these folk of Manus.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ते वो हृदे मनसे सन्तु यज्ञा जुष्टासो अद्य घृतनिर्णिजो गुः । प्र वः सुतासो हरयन्त पूर्णाः क्रत्वे दक्षाय हर्षयन्त पीताः ॥
te vo hṛde manase santu yajñā juṣṭāso adya ghṛtanirṇijo guḥ | pra vaḥ sutāso harayanta pūrṇāḥ kratve dakṣāya harṣayanta pītāḥ ||
May these rites please you in your heart and spirit; may the drops clothed in oil this day approach you. May the abundant juices bear you onward to power and strength, and, when imbibed, delight you.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
त्र्युदायं देवहितं यथा व स्तोमो वाजा ऋभुक्षणो ददे वः । जुह्वे मनुष्वद् उपरासु विक्षु युष्मे सचा बृहद्दिवेषु सोमम् ॥
tryudāyaṃ devahitaṃ yathā va stomo vājā ṛbhukṣaṇo dade vaḥ | juhve manuṣvad uparāsu vikṣu yuṣme sacā bṛhaddiveṣu somam ||
Your threefold going near is God-appointed, so praise is given you, Vajas and Rbhuksans. So, Manus-like, mid younger folk I offer, to you who are aloft in heaven, the Soma.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
पीवोअश्वाः शुचद्रथा हि भूतायःशिप्रा वाजिनः सुनिष्काः । इन्द्रस्य सूनो शवसो नपातो ऽनु वश् चेत्य् अग्रियम् मदाय ॥
pīvoaśvāḥ śucadrathā hi bhūtāyaḥśiprā vājinaḥ suniṣkāḥ | indrasya sūno śavaso napāto 'nu vaś cety agriyam madāya ||
Strong, with fair chains of gold and jaws of iron, ye have a splendid car and well-fed horses. Ye Sons of Strength, ye progeny of Indra, to you the best is offered to delight you.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ऋभुम् ऋभुक्षणो रयिं वाजे वाजिन्तमं युजम् । इन्द्रस्वन्तं हवामहे सदासातमम् अश्विनम् ॥
ṛbhum ṛbhukṣaṇo rayiṃ vāje vājintamaṃ yujam | indrasvantaṃ havāmahe sadāsātamam aśvinam ||
Rbhuksans! him, for handy wealth, the mightiest comrade in the fight, Him, Indra's equal, we invoke, most bounteous ever, rich in steeds.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सेद् ऋभवो यम् अवथ यूयम् इन्द्रश् च मर्त्यम् । स धीभिर् अस्तु सनिता मेधसाता सो अर्वता ॥
sed ṛbhavo yam avatha yūyam indraś ca martyam | sa dhībhir astu sanitā medhasātā so arvatā ||
The mortal man whom, Rbhus, ye and Indra favour with your help, Must be successful, by his thoughts, at sacrifice and with the steed.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वि नो वाजा ऋभुक्षणः पथश् चितन यष्टवे । अस्मभ्यं सूरय स्तुता विश्वा आशास् तरीषणि ॥
vi no vājā ṛbhukṣaṇaḥ pathaś citana yaṣṭave | asmabhyaṃ sūraya stutā viśvā āśās tarīṣaṇi ||
O Vajas and Rbhuksans, free for us the paths to sacrifice, Ye Princes, lauded, that we may press forward to each point of heaven.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तं नो वाजा ऋभुक्षण इन्द्र नासत्या रयिम् । सम् अश्वं चर्षणिभ्य आ पुरु शस्त मघत्तये ॥
taṃ no vājā ṛbhukṣaṇa indra nāsatyā rayim | sam aśvaṃ carṣaṇibhya ā puru śasta maghattaye ||
O Vajas and Rbhuksans, ye Nasatyas, Indra, bless this wealth, And, before other men's, the steed, that ample riches may be won.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
