Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·5·5.56
अग्ने शर्धन्तम् आ गणम् पिष्टं रुक्मेभिर् अञ्जिभिः । विशो अद्य मरुताम् अव ह्वये दिवश् चिद् रोचनाद् अधि ॥
agne śardhantam ā gaṇam piṣṭaṃ rukmebhir añjibhiḥ | viśo adya marutām ava hvaye divaś cid rocanād adhi ||
Agni, that valorous company adorned with ornaments of gold, The people of the Maruts, I call down to-day even from the luminous realm of heaven.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यथा चिन् मन्यसे हृदा तद् इन् मे जग्मुर् आशसः । ये ते नेदिष्ठं हवनान्य् आगमन् तान् वर्ध भीमसंदृशः ॥
yathā cin manyase hṛdā tad in me jagmur āśasaḥ | ye te nediṣṭhaṃ havanāny āgaman tān vardha bhīmasaṃdṛśaḥ ||
Even as thou thinkest in thy heart, thither my wishes also tend. Those who have come most near to thine invoking calls, strengthen them fearful to behold.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
मीळ्हुष्मतीव पृथिवी पराहता मदन्त्य् एत्य् अस्मद् आ । ऋक्षो न वो मरुतः शिमीवां अमो दुध्रो गौर् इव भीमयुः ॥
mīḷhuṣmatīva pṛthivī parāhatā madanty ety asmad ā | ṛkṣo na vo marutaḥ śimīvāṃ amo dudhro gaur iva bhīmayuḥ ||
Earth, like a bounteous lady, liberal of her gifts, struck down and shaken, yet exultant, comes to us. Impetuous as a bear, O Maruts, is you rush terrible as a dreadful bull..
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
नि ये रिणन्त्य् ओजसा वृथा गावो न दुर्धुरः । अश्मानं चित् स्वर्यम् पर्वतं गिरिम् प्र च्यावयन्ति यामभिः ॥
ni ye riṇanty ojasā vṛthā gāvo na durdhuraḥ | aśmānaṃ cit svaryam parvataṃ girim pra cyāvayanti yāmabhiḥ ||
They who with mighty strength o'erthrow like oxen difficult to yoke, Cause e'en the heavenly stone to shake ' yea, shake the rocky mountain as they race along.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
उत् तिष्ठ नूनम् एषां स्तोमैः समुक्षितानाम् । मरुताम् पुरुतमम् अपूर्व्यं गवां सर्गम् इव ह्वये ॥
ut tiṣṭha nūnam eṣāṃ stomaiḥ samukṣitānām | marutām purutamam apūrvyaṃ gavāṃ sargam iva hvaye ||
Rise up! even now with lauds I call the very numerous company, Unequalled, of these Maruts, like a herd of kine, grown up together in their strength.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
युङ्ग्ध्वं ह्य् अरुषी रथे युङ्ग्ध्वं रथेषु रोहितः । युङ्ग्ध्वं हरी अजिरा धुरि वोळ्हवे वहिष्ठा धुरि वोळ्हवे ॥
yuṅgdhvaṃ hy aruṣī rathe yuṅgdhvaṃ ratheṣu rohitaḥ | yuṅgdhvaṃ harī ajirā dhuri voḷhave vahiṣṭhā dhuri voḷhave ||
Bind to your car the bright red mares, yoke the red coursers to your car. Bind to the pole, to draw, the fleet-foot tawny steeds, the best at drawing, to the pole.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
उत स्य वाज्य् अरुषस् तुविष्वणिर् इह स्म धायि दर्शतः । मा वो यामेषु मरुतश् चिरं करत् प्र तं रथेषु चोदत ॥
uta sya vājy aruṣas tuviṣvaṇir iha sma dhāyi darśataḥ | mā vo yāmeṣu marutaś ciraṃ karat pra taṃ ratheṣu codata ||
Yea, and this loudly-neighing bright red vigorous horse who hath been stationed, fair to see, Let him not cause delay, O Maruts,, in your course, urge ye him onward in your cars.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
रथं नु मारुतं वयं श्रवस्युम् आ हुवामहे । आ यस्मिन् तस्थौ सुरणानि बिभ्रती सचा मरुत्सु रोदसी ॥
rathaṃ nu mārutaṃ vayaṃ śravasyum ā huvāmahe | ā yasmin tasthau suraṇāni bibhratī sacā marutsu rodasī ||
The Maruts' chariot, ever fain to gather glory, we invoke, Which Rodasi hath mounted, bringing pleasant gifts, with Maruts in her company.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तं वः शर्धं रथेशुभं त्वेषम् पनस्युम् आ हुवे । यस्मिन् सुजाता सुभगा महीयते सचा मरुत्सु मीळ्हुषी ॥
taṃ vaḥ śardhaṃ ratheśubhaṃ tveṣam panasyum ā huve | yasmin sujātā subhagā mahīyate sacā marutsu mīḷhuṣī ||
I call that brilliant band of yours, adorable, rapid on the car Whereon the bounteous Dame, auspicious, nobly born, shows glorious with the Marut host.
