Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·5·5.45
विदा दिवो विष्यन्न् अद्रिम् उक्थैर् आयत्या उषसो अर्चिनो गुः । अपावृत व्रजिनीर् उत् स्वर् गाद् वि दुरो मानुषीर् देव आवः ॥
vidā divo viṣyann adrim ukthair āyatyā uṣaso arcino guḥ | apāvṛta vrajinīr ut svar gād vi duro mānuṣīr deva āvaḥ ||
Bards of approaching Dawn who know the heavens are come with hymns to throw the mountain open. The Sun hath risen and open the stable portals: the doors of men, too, hath the God thrown open.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वि सूर्यो अमतिं न श्रियं साद् ओर्वाद् गवाम् माता जानती गात् । धन्वर्णसो नद्यः खादोअर्णा स्थूणेव सुमिता दृंहत द्यौः ॥
vi sūryo amatiṃ na śriyaṃ sād orvād gavām mātā jānatī gāt | dhanvarṇaso nadyaḥ khādoarṇā sthūṇeva sumitā dṛṃhata dyauḥ ||
Surya hath spread his light as splendour: hither came the Cows' Mother, conscious, from the stable, To streams that flow with biting waves to deserts; and heaven is stablished like a firm-set pillar.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अस्मा उक्थाय पर्वतस्य गर्भो महीनां जनुषे पूर्व्याय । वि पर्वतो जिहीत साधत द्यौर् आविवासन्तो दसयन्त भूम ॥
asmā ukthāya parvatasya garbho mahīnāṃ januṣe pūrvyāya | vi parvato jihīta sādhata dyaur āvivāsanto dasayanta bhūma ||
This laud hath won the burden of the mountain. To aid the ancient birth of mighty waters The mountain parted, Heaven performed his office. The worshippers were worn with constant serving.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सूक्तेभिर् वो वचोभिर् देवजुष्टैर् इन्द्रा न्व् अग्नी अवसे हुवध्यै । उक्थेभिर् हि ष्मा कवयः सुयज्ञा आविवासन्तो मरुतो यजन्ति ॥
sūktebhir vo vacobhir devajuṣṭair indrā nv agnī avase huvadhyai | ukthebhir hi ṣmā kavayaḥ suyajñā āvivāsanto maruto yajanti ||
With hymns and God-loved words will I invoke you, Indra and Agni, to obtain your favour, For verily sages, skilled in sacrificing, worship the Maruts and with lauds invite them.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
एतो न्व् अद्य सुध्यो भवाम प्र दुच्छुना मिनवामा वरीयः । आरे द्वेषांसि सनुतर् दधामायाम प्राञ्चो यजमानम् अच्छ ॥
eto nv adya sudhyo bhavāma pra ducchunā minavāmā varīyaḥ | āre dveṣāṃsi sanutar dadhāmāyāma prāñco yajamānam accha ||
This day approach us: may our thoughts be holy, far from us let us cast away misfortune. Let us keep those who hate us at a distance, and haste to meet the man who sacrifices.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
एता धियं कृणवामा सखायो ऽप या मातां ऋणुत व्रजं गोः । यया मनुर् विशिशिप्रं जिगाय यया वणिग् वङ्कुर् आपा पुरीषम् ॥
etā dhiyaṃ kṛṇavāmā sakhāyo 'pa yā mātāṃ ṛṇuta vrajaṃ goḥ | yayā manur viśiśipraṃ jigāya yayā vaṇig vaṅkur āpā purīṣam ||
Come, let us carry out, O friends, the purpose wherewith the Mother threw the Cow's stall open, That wherewith Manu conquered Visisipra, wherewith the wandering merchant gained heaven's water.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अनूनोद् अत्र हस्तयतो अद्रिर् आर्चन् येन दश मासो नवग्वाः । ऋतं यती सरमा गा अविन्दद् विश्वानि सत्याङ्गिराश् चकार ॥
anūnod atra hastayato adrir ārcan yena daśa māso navagvāḥ | ṛtaṃ yatī saramā gā avindad viśvāni satyāṅgirāś cakāra ||
Here, urged by hands, loudly hath rung the press-stone wherewith Navagvas through ten months sang praises. Sarama went aright and found the cattle. Angiras gave effect to all their labours.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
विश्वे अस्या व्युषि माहिनायाः सं यद् गोभिर् अङ्गिरसो नवन्त । उत्स आसाम् परमे सधस्थ ऋतस्य पथा सरमा विदद् गाः ॥
viśve asyā vyuṣi māhināyāḥ saṃ yad gobhir aṅgiraso navanta | utsa āsām parame sadhastha ṛtasya pathā saramā vidad gāḥ ||
When at the dawning of this mighty Goddess, Angirases all sang forth with the cattle,- Their spring is in the loftiest place of meeting,-Sarama found the kine by Order's pathway.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ सूर्यो यातु सप्ताश्वः क्षेत्रं यद् अस्योर्विया दीर्घयाथे । रघुः श्येनः पतयद् अन्धो अच्छा युवा कविर् दीदयद् गोषु गच्छन् ॥
ā sūryo yātu saptāśvaḥ kṣetraṃ yad asyorviyā dīrghayāthe | raghuḥ śyenaḥ patayad andho acchā yuvā kavir dīdayad goṣu gacchan ||
Borne by his Coursers Seven may Surya visit the field that spreadeth wide for his long journey. Down on the Soma swooped the rapid Falcon. Bright was the young Sage moving mid his cattle.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ सूर्यो अरुहच् छुक्रम् अर्णो ऽयुक्त यद् धरितो वीतपृष्ठाः । उद्ना न नावम् अनयन्त धीरा आशृण्वतीर् आपो अर्वाग् अतिष्ठन् ॥
ā sūryo aruhac chukram arṇo 'yukta yad dharito vītapṛṣṭhāḥ | udnā na nāvam anayanta dhīrā āśṛṇvatīr āpo arvāg atiṣṭhan ||
Surya hath mounted to the shining ocean when he hath yoked his fair-backed Tawny Horses. The wise have drawn him like a ship through water: the floods obedient have descended hither.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
धियं वो अप्सु दधिषे स्वर्षां ययातरन् दश मासो नवग्वाः । अया धिया स्याम देवगोपा अया धिया तुतुर्यामात्य् अंहः ॥
dhiyaṃ vo apsu dadhiṣe svarṣāṃ yayātaran daśa māso navagvāḥ | ayā dhiyā syāma devagopā ayā dhiyā tuturyāmāty aṃhaḥ ||
I lay upon the Floods your hymn, light winning, wherewith Navagvas their ten months completed. Through this our hymn may we have Gods to guard us: through this our hymn pass safe beyond affliction.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
