Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·5·5.34
अजातशत्रुम् अजरा स्वर्वत्य् अनु स्वधामिता दस्मम् ईयते । सुनोतन पचत ब्रह्मवाहसे पुरुष्टुताय प्रतरं दधातन ॥
ajātaśatrum ajarā svarvaty anu svadhāmitā dasmam īyate | sunotana pacata brahmavāhase puruṣṭutāya prataraṃ dadhātana ||
Boundless and wasting not, the heavenly food of Gods goes to the foeless One, doer of wondrous deeds. Press out, make ready, offer gifts with special zeal to him whom many laud, accepter of the prayer.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ यः सोमेन जठरम् अपिप्रतामन्दत मघवा मध्वो अन्धसः । यद् ईम् मृगाय हन्तवे महावधः सहस्रभृष्टिम् उशना वधं यमत् ॥
ā yaḥ somena jaṭharam apipratāmandata maghavā madhvo andhasaḥ | yad īm mṛgāya hantave mahāvadhaḥ sahasrabhṛṣṭim uśanā vadhaṃ yamat ||
He who filled full his belly with the Soma's juice, Maghavan, was delighted with the meath's sweet draught, When Usana, that he might slay the monstrous beast, gave him the mighty weapon with a thousand points.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यो अस्मै घ्रंस उत वा य ऊधनि सोमं सुनोति भवति द्युमां अह । अपाप शक्रस् ततनुष्टिम् ऊहति तनूशुभ्रम् मघवा यः कवासखः ॥
yo asmai ghraṃsa uta vā ya ūdhani somaṃ sunoti bhavati dyumāṃ aha | apāpa śakras tatanuṣṭim ūhati tanūśubhram maghavā yaḥ kavāsakhaḥ ||
Illustrious is the man whoever presseth out Soma for him in sunshine or in cloud and rain. The mighty Maghavan who is the sage's Friend advanceth more and more his beauteous progeny.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यस्यावधीत् पितरं यस्य मातरं यस्य शक्रो भ्रातरं नात ईषते । वेतीद् व् अस्य प्रयता यतङ्करो न किल्बिषाद् ईषते वस्व आकरः ॥
yasyāvadhīt pitaraṃ yasya mātaraṃ yasya śakro bhrātaraṃ nāta īṣate | vetīd v asya prayatā yataṅkaro na kilbiṣād īṣate vasva ākaraḥ ||
The Strong God doth not flee away from him whose sire, whose mother or whose brother he hath done to death. He, the Avenger, seeketh this man's offered gifts: this God, the source of riches, doth not flee from sin.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
न पञ्चभिर् दशभिर् वष्ट्य् आरभं नासुन्वता सचते पुष्यता चन । जिनाति वेद् अमुया हन्ति वा धुनिर् आ देवयुम् भजति गोमति व्रजे ॥
na pañcabhir daśabhir vaṣṭy ārabhaṃ nāsunvatā sacate puṣyatā cana | jināti ved amuyā hanti vā dhunir ā devayum bhajati gomati vraje ||
He seeks no enterprise with five or ten to aid, nor stays with him who pours no juice though prospering well. The Shaker conquers or slays in this way or that, and to the pious gives a stable full of kine.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वित्वक्षणः समृतौ चक्रमासजो ऽसुन्वतो विषुणः सुन्वतो वृधः । इन्द्रो विश्वस्य दमिता विभीषणो यथावशं नयति दासम् आर्यः ॥
vitvakṣaṇaḥ samṛtau cakramāsajo 'sunvato viṣuṇaḥ sunvato vṛdhaḥ | indro viśvasya damitā vibhīṣaṇo yathāvaśaṃ nayati dāsam āryaḥ ||
Exceeding strong in war he stays the chariot wheel, and, hating him who pours not, prospers him who pours. Indra the terrible, tamer of every man, as Arya leads away the Dasa at his will.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सम् ईम् पणेर् अजति भोजनम् मुषे वि दाशुषे भजति सूनरं वसु । दुर्गे चन ध्रियते विश्व आ पुरु जनो यो अस्य तविषीम् अचुक्रुधत् ॥
sam īm paṇer ajati bhojanam muṣe vi dāśuṣe bhajati sūnaraṃ vasu | durge cana dhriyate viśva ā puru jano yo asya taviṣīm acukrudhat ||
He gathers up for plunder all the niggards gear: excellent wealth he gives to him who offers gifts. Not even in wide stronghold may all the folk stand firm who have provoked to anger his surpassing might.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सं यज् जनौ सुधनौ विश्वशर्धसाव् अवेद् इन्द्रो मघवा गोषु शुभ्रिषु । युजं ह्य् अन्यम् अकृत प्रवेपन्य् उद् ईं गव्यं सृजते सत्वभिर् धुनिः ॥
saṃ yaj janau sudhanau viśvaśardhasāv aved indro maghavā goṣu śubhriṣu | yujaṃ hy anyam akṛta pravepany ud īṃ gavyaṃ sṛjate satvabhir dhuniḥ ||
When Indra Maghavan hath marked two wealthy men fighting for beauteous cows with all their followers, He who stirs all things takes one as his close ally, and, Shaker, with his Heroes, sends the kine to him.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सहस्रसाम् आग्निवेशिं गृणीषे शत्रिम् अग्न उपमां केतुम् अर्यः । तस्मा आपः संयतः पीपयन्त तस्मिन् क्षत्रम् अमवत् त्वेषम् अस्तु ॥
sahasrasām āgniveśiṃ gṛṇīṣe śatrim agna upamāṃ ketum aryaḥ | tasmā āpaḥ saṃyataḥ pīpayanta tasmin kṣatram amavat tveṣam astu ||
Agni! I laud the liberal Agnivesi, Satri the type and standard of the pious. May the collected waters yield him plenty, and his be powerful and bright dominion.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
