Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 5.37

सम् भानुना यतते सूर्यस्याजुह्वानो घृतपृष्ठः स्वञ्चाः । तस्मा अमृध्रा उषसो व्य् उच्छान् य इन्द्राय सुनवामेत्य् आह ॥

sam bhānunā yatate sūryasyājuhvāno ghṛtapṛṣṭhaḥ svañcāḥ | tasmā amṛdhrā uṣaso vy ucchān ya indrāya sunavāmety āha ||

Bedewed with holy oil and meetly worshipped, the Swift One vies with Surya's beam in splendour. For him may mornings dawn without cessation who saith, Let us press Soma out for Indra.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

समिद्धाग्निर् वनवत् स्तीर्णबर्हिर् युक्तग्रावा सुतसोमो जराते । ग्रावाणो यस्येषिरं वदन्त्य् अयद् अध्वर्युर् हविषाव सिन्धुम् ॥

samiddhāgnir vanavat stīrṇabarhir yuktagrāvā sutasomo jarāte | grāvāṇo yasyeṣiraṃ vadanty ayad adhvaryur haviṣāva sindhum ||

With kindled fire and strewn grass let him worship, and, Soma-presser, sing with stones adjusted: And let the priest whose press-stones ring forth loudly, go down with his oblation to the river.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

वधूर् इयम् पतिम् इच्छन्त्य् एति य ईं वहाते महिषीम् इषिराम् । आस्य श्रवस्याद् रथ आ च घोषात् पुरू सहस्रा परि वर्तयाते ॥

vadhūr iyam patim icchanty eti ya īṃ vahāte mahiṣīm iṣirām | āsya śravasyād ratha ā ca ghoṣāt purū sahasrā pari vartayāte ||

This wife is coming near who loves her husband who carries to his home a vigorous consort. Here may his car seek fame, here loudly thunder, and his wheel make a thousand revolutions.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

न स राजा व्यथते यस्मिन्न् इन्द्रस् तीव्रं सोमम् पिबति गोसखायम् । आ सत्वनैर् अजति हन्ति वृत्रं क्षेति क्षितीः सुभगो नाम पुष्यन् ॥

na sa rājā vyathate yasminn indras tīvraṃ somam pibati gosakhāyam | ā satvanair ajati hanti vṛtraṃ kṣeti kṣitīḥ subhago nāma puṣyan ||

No troubles vex that King in whose home Indra drinks the sharp Soma juice with milk commingled. With heroes he drives near, he slays the foeman: Blest, cherishing that name, he guards his people.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

पुष्यात् क्षेमे अभि योगे भवात्य् उभे वृतौ संयती सं जयाति । प्रियः सूर्ये प्रियो अग्ना भवाति य इन्द्राय सुतसोमो ददाशत् ॥

puṣyāt kṣeme abhi yoge bhavāty ubhe vṛtau saṃyatī saṃ jayāti | priyaḥ sūrye priyo agnā bhavāti ya indrāya sutasomo dadāśat ||

May he support in peace and win in battle: he masters both the hosts that meet together. Dear shall he be to Surya, dear to Agni, who with pressed Soma offers gifts to India.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
