Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·5·5.47
प्रयुञ्जती दिव एति ब्रुवाणा मही माता दुहितुर् बोधयन्ती । आविवासन्ती युवतिर् मनीषा पितृभ्य आ सदने जोहुवाना ॥
prayuñjatī diva eti bruvāṇā mahī mātā duhitur bodhayantī | āvivāsantī yuvatir manīṣā pitṛbhya ā sadane johuvānā ||
Urging to toil and making proclamation, seeking Heaven's Daughter comes the Mighty Mother: She comes, the youthful Hymn, unto the Fathers, inviting to her home and loudly calling.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अजिरासस् तदप ईयमाना आतस्थिवांसो अमृतस्य नाभिम् । अनन्तास उरवो विश्वतः सीम् परि द्यावापृथिवी यन्ति पन्थाः ॥
ajirāsas tadapa īyamānā ātasthivāṃso amṛtasya nābhim | anantāsa uravo viśvataḥ sīm pari dyāvāpṛthivī yanti panthāḥ ||
Swift in their motion, hasting to their duty, reaching the central point of life immortal, On every side about the earth and heaven go forth the spacious paths without a limit.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
उक्षा समुद्रो अरुषः सुपर्णः पूर्वस्य योनिम् पितुर् आ विवेश । मध्ये दिवो निहितः पृश्निर् अश्मा वि चक्रमे रजसस् पात्य् अन्तौ ॥
ukṣā samudro aruṣaḥ suparṇaḥ pūrvasya yonim pitur ā viveśa | madhye divo nihitaḥ pṛśnir aśmā vi cakrame rajasas pāty antau ||
Steer, Sea, Red Bird with strong wings, he hath entered the dwelling-place of the Primeval Father. A gay-hued Stone set in the midst of heaven, he hath gone forth and guards mid-air's two limits.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
चत्वार ईम् बिभ्रति क्षेमयन्तो दश गर्भं चरसे धापयन्ते । त्रिधातवः परमा अस्य गावो दिवश् चरन्ति परि सद्यो अन्तान् ॥
catvāra īm bibhrati kṣemayanto daśa garbhaṃ carase dhāpayante | tridhātavaḥ paramā asya gāvo divaś caranti pari sadyo antān ||
Four bear him up and give him rest and quiet, and ten invigorate the Babe for travel. His kine most excellent, of threefold nature, pass swiftly round the boundaries of heaven.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
इदं वपुर् निवचनं जनासश् चरन्ति यन् नद्यस् तस्थुर् आपः । द्वे यद् ईम् बिभृतो मातुर् अन्ये इहेह जाते यम्या सबन्धू ॥
idaṃ vapur nivacanaṃ janāsaś caranti yan nadyas tasthur āpaḥ | dve yad īm bibhṛto mātur anye iheha jāte yamyā sabandhū ||
Wondrous, O people, is the mystic knowledge that while the waters stand the streams are flowing: That, separate from his Mother, Two support him, closely-united, twins, here made apparent.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वि तन्वते धियो अस्मा अपांसि वस्त्रा पुत्राय मातरो वयन्ति । उपप्रक्षे वृषणो मोदमाना दिवस् पथा वध्वो यन्त्य् अच्छ ॥
vi tanvate dhiyo asmā apāṃsi vastrā putrāya mātaro vayanti | upaprakṣe vṛṣaṇo modamānā divas pathā vadhvo yanty accha ||
For him they lengthen prayers and acts of worship: the Mothers weave garments for him their offspring. Rejoicing, for the Steer's impregning contact, his Spouses move on paths or heaven to meet him.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तद् अस्तु मित्रावरुणा तद् अग्ने शं योर् अस्मभ्यम् इदम् अस्तु शस्तम् । अशीमहि गाधम् उत प्रतिष्ठां नमो दिवे बृहते सादनाय ॥
tad astu mitrāvaruṇā tad agne śaṃ yor asmabhyam idam astu śastam | aśīmahi gādham uta pratiṣṭhāṃ namo dive bṛhate sādanāya ||
Be this our praise, O Varuna and Mitra may this be health and force to us, O Agni. May we obtain firm ground and room for resting: Glory to Heaven, the lofty habitation!
