Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·5·5.42
प्र शन्तमा वरुणं दीधिती गीर् मित्रम् भगम् अदितिं नूनम् अश्याः । पृषद्योनिः पञ्चहोता शृणोत्व् अतूर्तपन्था असुरो मयोभुः ॥
pra śantamā varuṇaṃ dīdhitī gīr mitram bhagam aditiṃ nūnam aśyāḥ | pṛṣadyoniḥ pañcahotā śṛṇotv atūrtapanthā asuro mayobhuḥ ||
Now may our sweetest song with deep devotion reach Varuna, Mitra, Aditi, and Bhaga. May the Five Priests' Lord, dwelling in oblations, bliss-giving Asura, hear, whose paths are open.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
प्रति मे स्तोमम् अदितिर् जगृभ्यात् सूनुं न माता हृद्यं सुशेवम् । ब्रह्म प्रियं देवहितं यद् अस्त्य् अहम् मित्रे वरुणे यन् मयोभु ॥
prati me stomam aditir jagṛbhyāt sūnuṃ na mātā hṛdyaṃ suśevam | brahma priyaṃ devahitaṃ yad asty aham mitre varuṇe yan mayobhu ||
May Aditi welcome, even as a mother her dear heart-gladdening son, my song that lauds her. The prayer they love, bliss-giving, God-appointed, I offer unto Varuna and Mitra.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
उद् ईरय कवितमं कवीनाम् उनत्तैनम् अभि मध्वा घृतेन । स नो वसूनि प्रयता हितानि चन्द्राणि देवः सविता सुवाति ॥
ud īraya kavitamaṃ kavīnām unattainam abhi madhvā ghṛtena | sa no vasūni prayatā hitāni candrāṇi devaḥ savitā suvāti ||
In spirit him, the Sagest of the Sages; with sacrificial oil and meath bedew him So then let him, God Savitar, provide us excellent, ready, and resplendent treasures.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सम् इन्द्र णो मनसा नेषि गोभिः सं सूरिभिर् हरिवः सं स्वस्ति । सम् ब्रह्मणा देवहितं यद् अस्ति सं देवानां सुमत्या यज्ञियानाम् ॥
sam indra ṇo manasā neṣi gobhiḥ saṃ sūribhir harivaḥ saṃ svasti | sam brahmaṇā devahitaṃ yad asti saṃ devānāṃ sumatyā yajñiyānām ||
With willing mind, Indra, vouchsafe us cattle, prosperity, Lord of Bays! and pious patrons; And, with the sacred prayer by Gods appointed, give us the holy Deities' lovingkindness.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
देवो भगः सविता रायो अंश इन्द्रो वृत्रस्य संजितो धनानाम् । ऋभुक्षा वाज उत वा पुरन्धिर् अवन्तु नो अमृतासस् तुरासः ॥
devo bhagaḥ savitā rāyo aṃśa indro vṛtrasya saṃjito dhanānām | ṛbhukṣā vāja uta vā purandhir avantu no amṛtāsas turāsaḥ ||
God Bhaga, Savitar who deals forth riches, Indra, and they who conquer Vrtra's treasures, And Vaja and Rbhuksan and Purandhi, the Mighty and Immortal Ones, protect us!
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
मरुत्वतो अप्रतीतस्य जिष्णोर् अजूर्यतः प्र ब्रवामा कृतानि । न ते पूर्वे मघवन् नापरासो न वीर्यं नूतनः कश् चनाप ॥
marutvato apratītasya jiṣṇor ajūryataḥ pra bravāmā kṛtāni | na te pūrve maghavan nāparāso na vīryaṃ nūtanaḥ kaś canāpa ||
Let us declare his deeds, the undecaying unrivalled Victor whom the Maruts follow. None of old times, O Maghavan, nor later, none of these days hath reached thy hero prowess.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
उप स्तुहि प्रथमं रत्नधेयम् बृहस्पतिं सनितारं धनानाम् । यः शंसते स्तुवते शम्भविष्ठः पुरूवसुर् आगमज् जोहुवानम् ॥
upa stuhi prathamaṃ ratnadheyam bṛhaspatiṃ sanitāraṃ dhanānām | yaḥ śaṃsate stuvate śambhaviṣṭhaḥ purūvasur āgamaj johuvānam ||
Praise him the Chief who gives the boon of riches, Brhaspati distributor of treasures, Who, blessing most the man who sings and praises, comes with abundant wealth to his invoker.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तवोतिभिः सचमाना अरिष्टा बृहस्पते मघवानः सुवीराः । ये अश्वदा उत वा सन्ति गोदा ये वस्त्रदाः सुभगास् तेषु रायः ॥
tavotibhiḥ sacamānā ariṣṭā bṛhaspate maghavānaḥ suvīrāḥ | ye aśvadā uta vā santi godā ye vastradāḥ subhagās teṣu rāyaḥ ||
Tended, Brhaspati, with thy protections, the princes are unharmed and girt by heroes. Wealth that brings bliss is found among the givers of horses and of cattle and of raiment.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
विसर्माणं कृणुहि वित्तम् एषां ये भुञ्जते अपृणन्तो न उक्थैः । अपव्रतान् प्रसवे वावृधानान् ब्रह्मद्विषः सूर्याद् यावयस्व ॥
visarmāṇaṃ kṛṇuhi vittam eṣāṃ ye bhuñjate apṛṇanto na ukthaiḥ | apavratān prasave vāvṛdhānān brahmadviṣaḥ sūryād yāvayasva ||
Make their wealth flee who, through our hymns enjoying their riches, yield us not an ample guerdon. Far from the sun keep those who hate devotion, the godless, prospering in their vocation.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
य ओहते रक्षसो देववीताव् अचक्रेभिस् तम् मरुतो नि यात । यो वः शमीं शशमानस्य निन्दात् तुच्छ्यान् कामान् करते सिष्विदानः ॥
ya ohate rakṣaso devavītāv acakrebhis tam maruto ni yāta | yo vaḥ śamīṃ śaśamānasya nindāt tucchyān kāmān karate siṣvidānaḥ ||
With wheelless chariots drive down him, O Maruts, who at the feasts of Gods regards the demons. May he, though bathed in sweat, form empty wishes, who blames his sacred rite who toils to serve you.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तम् उ ष्टुहि यः स्विषुः सुधन्वा यो विश्वस्य क्षयति भेषजस्य । यक्ष्वा महे सौमनसाय रुद्रं नमोभिर् देवम् असुरं दुवस्य ॥
tam u ṣṭuhi yaḥ sviṣuḥ sudhanvā yo viśvasya kṣayati bheṣajasya | yakṣvā mahe saumanasāya rudraṃ namobhir devam asuraṃ duvasya ||
Praise him whose bow is strong and sure his arrow, him who is Lord of every balm that bealeth. Worship thou Rudra for his great good favour: adore the Asura, God, with salutations.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
दमूनसो अपसो ये सुहस्ता वृष्णः पत्नीर् नद्यो विभ्वतष्टाः । सरस्वती बृहद्दिवोत राका दशस्यन्तीर् वरिवस्यन्तु शुभ्राः ॥
damūnaso apaso ye suhastā vṛṣṇaḥ patnīr nadyo vibhvataṣṭāḥ | sarasvatī bṛhaddivota rākā daśasyantīr varivasyantu śubhrāḥ ||
May the House-friends, the cunning-handed Artists, may the Steer's Wives, the streams carved out by Vibhvan, And may the fair Ones honour and befriend us, Sarasvati, Brhaddiva, and Raka.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
प्र सू महे सुशरणाय मेधां गिरम् भरे नव्यसीं जायमानाम् । य आहना दुहितुर् वक्षणासु रूपा मिनानो अकृणोद् इदं नः ॥
pra sū mahe suśaraṇāya medhāṃ giram bhare navyasīṃ jāyamānām | ya āhanā duhitur vakṣaṇāsu rūpā mināno akṛṇod idaṃ naḥ ||
My newest song, thought that now springs within me, I offer to the Great, the Sure Protector, Who made for us this All, in fond love laying each varied form within his Daughter's bosom.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
प्र सुष्टुति स्तनयन्तं रुवन्तम् इळस् पतिं जरितर् नूनम् अश्याः । यो अब्दिमां उदनिमां इयर्ति प्र विद्युता रोदसी उक्षमाणः ॥
pra suṣṭuti stanayantaṃ ruvantam iḷas patiṃ jaritar nūnam aśyāḥ | yo abdimāṃ udanimāṃ iyarti pra vidyutā rodasī ukṣamāṇaḥ ||
Now, even now, may thy fair praise, O Singer, attain Idaspati who roars and thunders, Who, rich in clouds and waters with his lightning speeds forth bedewing both the earth and heaven.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
एष स्तोमो मारुतं शर्धो अच्छा रुद्रस्य सूनूंर् युवन्यूंर् उद् अश्याः । कामो राये हवते मा स्वस्त्य् उप स्तुहि पृषदश्वां अयासः ॥
eṣa stomo mārutaṃ śardho acchā rudrasya sūnūṃr yuvanyūṃr ud aśyāḥ | kāmo rāye havate mā svasty upa stuhi pṛṣadaśvāṃ ayāsaḥ ||
May this my laud attain the troop of Maruts, those who are youths in act, the Sons of Rudra. The wish calls me to riches and well-being: praise the unwearied Ones whose steeds are dappled.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
प्रैष स्तोमः पृथिवीम् अन्तरिक्षं वनस्पतींर् ओषधी राये अश्याः । देवो-देवः सुहवो भूतु मह्यम् मा नो माता पृथिवी दुर्मतौ धात् ॥
praiṣa stomaḥ pṛthivīm antarikṣaṃ vanaspatīṃr oṣadhī rāye aśyāḥ | devo-devaḥ suhavo bhūtu mahyam mā no mātā pṛthivī durmatau dhāt ||
May this my laud reach earth and air's mid-region, and forest trees and plants to win me riches. May every Deity be swift to listen, and Mother Earth with no ill thought regard me.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
उरौ देवा अनिबाधे स्याम ॥
urau devā anibādhe syāma ||
Gods, may we dwell in free untroubled bliss.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सम् अश्विनोर् अवसा नूतनेन मयोभुवा सुप्रणीती गमेम । आ नो रयिं वहतम् ओत वीरान् आ विश्वान्य् अमृता सौभगानि ॥
sam aśvinor avasā nūtanena mayobhuvā supraṇītī gamema | ā no rayiṃ vahatam ota vīrān ā viśvāny amṛtā saubhagāni ||
May we obtain the Asvins' newest favour, and gain their health-bestowing happy guidance. Bring riches hither unto us, and heroes, and all felicity and joy, Immortals!
