Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·5·5.50
विश्वो देवस्य नेतुर् मर्तो वुरीत सख्यम् । विश्वो राय इषुध्यति द्युम्नं वृणीत पुष्यसे ॥
viśvo devasya netur marto vurīta sakhyam | viśvo rāya iṣudhyati dyumnaṃ vṛṇīta puṣyase ||
Let every mortal man elect the friendship of the guiding God. Each one solicits him for wealth and seeks renown to prosper him.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ते ते देव नेतर् ये चेमां अनुशसे । ते राया ते ह्य् आपृचे सचेमहि सचथ्यैः ॥
te te deva netar ye cemāṃ anuśase | te rāyā te hy āpṛce sacemahi sacathyaiḥ ||
These, leading God, are thine, and these here ready to speak after us. As such may we attain to wealth and wait with services on thee.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अतो न आ नॄन् अतिथीन् अतः पत्नीर् दशस्यत । आरे विश्वम् पथेष्ठां द्विषो युयोतु यूयुविः ॥
ato na ā nṝn atithīn ataḥ patnīr daśasyata | āre viśvam patheṣṭhāṃ dviṣo yuyotu yūyuviḥ ||
So further honour as our guests the Hero Gods and then the Dames. May he remove and keep afar our foes and all who block our path.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यत्र वह्निर् अभिहितो दुद्रवद् द्रोण्यः पशुः । नृमणा वीरपस्त्यो ऽर्णा धीरेव सनिता ॥
yatra vahnir abhihito dudravad droṇyaḥ paśuḥ | nṛmaṇā vīrapastyo 'rṇā dhīreva sanitā ||
Where fire is set, and swiftly runs the victim dwelling in the trough, He wins, with heroes in his home, friendly to man, like constant streams.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
एष ते देव नेता रथस्पतिः शं रयिः । शं राये शं स्वस्तय इषस्तुतो मनामहे देवस्तुतो मनामहे ॥
eṣa te deva netā rathaspatiḥ śaṃ rayiḥ | śaṃ rāye śaṃ svastaya iṣastuto manāmahe devastuto manāmahe ||
May these thy riches, Leader God! that rule the car, be blest to us, Yea, blest to us for wealth and weal. This will we ponder praising strength, this ponder as we praise the God.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
