Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·5·5.15
प्र वेधसे कवये वेद्याय गिरम् भरे यशसे पूर्व्याय । घृतप्रसत्तो असुरः सुशेवो रायो धर्ता धरुणो वस्वो अग्निः ॥
pra vedhase kavaye vedyāya giram bhare yaśase pūrvyāya | ghṛtaprasatto asuraḥ suśevo rāyo dhartā dharuṇo vasvo agniḥ ||
To him, the far-renowned, the wise Ordainer, ancient and glorious, a song I offer. Enthroned in oil, the Asura, bliss-giver, is Agni, firm support of noble, riches.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ऋतेन ऋतं धरुणं धारयन्त यज्ञस्य शाके परमे व्योमन् । दिवो धर्मन् धरुणे सेदुषो नॄञ् जातैर् अजातां अभि ये ननक्षुः ॥
ṛtena ṛtaṃ dharuṇaṃ dhārayanta yajñasya śāke parame vyoman | divo dharman dharuṇe seduṣo nṝñ jātair ajātāṃ abhi ye nanakṣuḥ ||
By holy Law they kept supporting Order, by help of sacrifice, in loftiest heaven,- They who attained with born men to the unborn, men seated on that stay, heaven's firm sustainer.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अङ्होयुवस् तन्वस् तन्वते वि वयो महद् दुष्टरम् पूर्व्याय । स संवतो नवजातस् तुतुर्यात् सिङ्हं न क्रुद्धम् अभितः परि ष्ठुः ॥
aṅhoyuvas tanvas tanvate vi vayo mahad duṣṭaram pūrvyāya | sa saṃvato navajātas tuturyāt siṅhaṃ na kruddham abhitaḥ pari ṣṭhuḥ ||
Averting woe, they labour hard to bring him, the ancient, plenteous food as power resistless. May he, born newly, conquer his assailants: round him they stand as round an angry lion.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
मातेव यद् भरसे पप्रथानो जनं-जनं धायसे चक्षसे च । वयो-वयो जरसे यद् दधानः परि त्मना विषुरूपो जिगासि ॥
māteva yad bharase paprathāno janaṃ-janaṃ dhāyase cakṣase ca | vayo-vayo jarase yad dadhānaḥ pari tmanā viṣurūpo jigāsi ||
When, like a mother, spreading forth to nourish, to cherish and regard each man that liveth,- Consuming all the strength that thou hast gotten, thou wanderest round, thyself, in varied fashion.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वाजो नु ते शवसस् पात्व् अन्तम् उरुं दोघं धरुणं देव रायः । पदं न तायुर् गुहा दधानो महो राये चितयन्न् अत्रिम् अस्पः ॥
vājo nu te śavasas pātv antam uruṃ doghaṃ dharuṇaṃ deva rāyaḥ | padaṃ na tāyur guhā dadhāno maho rāye citayann atrim aspaḥ ||
May strength preserve the compass of thy vigour, God! that broad stream of thine that beareth riches. Thou, like a thief who keeps his refuge secret, hast holpen Atri to great wealth, by teaching.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
