Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·5·5.62
ऋतेन ऋतम् अपिहितं ध्रुवं वां सूर्यस्य यत्र विमुचन्त्य् अश्वान् । दश शता सह तस्थुस् तद् एकं देवानां श्रेष्ठं वपुषाम् अपश्यम् ॥
ṛtena ṛtam apihitaṃ dhruvaṃ vāṃ sūryasya yatra vimucanty aśvān | daśa śatā saha tasthus tad ekaṃ devānāṃ śreṣṭhaṃ vapuṣām apaśyam ||
By your high Law firm order is established there where they loose for travel Surya's horses. Ten hundred stood together: there I looked on this the most marvellous Deities' one chief glory.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तत् सु वाम् मित्रावरुणा महित्वम् ईर्मा तस्थुषीर् अहभिर् दुदुह्रे । विश्वाः पिन्वथः स्वसरस्य धेना अनु वाम् एकः पविर् आ ववर्त ॥
tat su vām mitrāvaruṇā mahitvam īrmā tasthuṣīr ahabhir duduhre | viśvāḥ pinvathaḥ svasarasya dhenā anu vām ekaḥ pavir ā vavarta ||
This, Mitra-Varuna, is your special greatness: floods that stood there they with the days attracted. Ye cause to flow all voices of the cow pen: your single chariot felly hath rolled hither.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अधारयतम् पृथिवीम् उत द्याम् मित्रराजाना वरुणा महोभिः । वर्धयतम् ओषधीः पिन्वतं गा अव वृष्टिं सृजतं जीरदानू ॥
adhārayatam pṛthivīm uta dyām mitrarājānā varuṇā mahobhiḥ | vardhayatam oṣadhīḥ pinvataṃ gā ava vṛṣṭiṃ sṛjataṃ jīradānū ||
O Mitra-Varuna, ye by your greatness, both Kings, have firmly stablished earth and heaven, Ye caused the cows to stream, the plants to flourish, and, scattering swift drops, sent down the rain-flood.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ वाम् अश्वासः सुयुजो वहन्तु यतरश्मय उप यन्त्व् अर्वाक् । घृतस्य निर्णिग् अनु वर्तते वाम् उप सिन्धवः प्रदिवि क्षरन्ति ॥
ā vām aśvāsaḥ suyujo vahantu yataraśmaya upa yantv arvāk | ghṛtasya nirṇig anu vartate vām upa sindhavaḥ pradivi kṣaranti ||
Let your well-harnessed horses bear you hither: hitherward let them come with reins drawn tightly. A covering cloud of sacred oil attends you, and your streams flow to us from days aforetime.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अनु श्रुताम् अमतिं वर्धद् उर्वीम् बर्हिर् इव यजुषा रक्षमाणा । नमस्वन्ता धृतदक्षाधि गर्ते मित्रासाथे वरुणेळास्व् अन्तः ॥
anu śrutām amatiṃ vardhad urvīm barhir iva yajuṣā rakṣamāṇā | namasvantā dhṛtadakṣādhi garte mitrāsāthe varuṇeḷāsv antaḥ ||
To make the lustre wider and more famous, guarding the sacred grass with veneration, Ye, Mitra-Varuna, firm, strong, awe-inspiring, are seated on a throne amid oblations.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अक्रविहस्ता सुकृते परस्पा यं त्रासाथे वरुणेळास्व् अन्तः । राजाना क्षत्रम् अहृणीयमाना सहस्रस्थूणम् बिभृथः सह द्वौ ॥
akravihastā sukṛte paraspā yaṃ trāsāthe varuṇeḷāsv antaḥ | rājānā kṣatram ahṛṇīyamānā sahasrasthūṇam bibhṛthaḥ saha dvau ||
With hands that shed no blood, guarding the pious, whom, Varuni3, ye save amid oblations. Ye Twain, together, Kings of willing spirit, uphold dominion based on thousand pillars.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
हिरण्यनिर्णिग् अयो अस्य स्थूणा वि भ्राजते दिव्य् अश्वाजनीव । भद्रे क्षेत्रे निमिता तिल्विले वा सनेम मध्वो अधिगर्त्यस्य ॥
hiraṇyanirṇig ayo asya sthūṇā vi bhrājate divy aśvājanīva | bhadre kṣetre nimitā tilvile vā sanema madhvo adhigartyasya ||
Adorned with gold, its columns are of iron. in heaven it glitters like a whip for horses; Or stablished on a field deep-spoiled and fruitful. So may we share the meath that loads your car-seat.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
हिरण्यरूपम् उषसो व्युष्टाव् अयस्थूणम् उदिता सूर्यस्य । आ रोहथो वरुण मित्र गर्तम् अतश् चक्षाथे अदितिं दितिं च ॥
hiraṇyarūpam uṣaso vyuṣṭāv ayasthūṇam uditā sūryasya | ā rohatho varuṇa mitra gartam ataś cakṣāthe aditiṃ ditiṃ ca ||
Ye mount your car gold-hued at break of morning, and iron-pillared when the Sun is setting, And from that place, O Varuna and Mitra, behold infinity and limitation.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यद् बंहिष्ठं नातिविधे सुदानू अच्छिद्रं शर्म भुवनस्य गोपा । तेन नो मित्रावरुणाव् अविष्टं सिषासन्तो जिगीवांसः स्याम ॥
yad baṃhiṣṭhaṃ nātividhe sudānū acchidraṃ śarma bhuvanasya gopā | tena no mitrāvaruṇāv aviṣṭaṃ siṣāsanto jigīvāṃsaḥ syāma ||
Bountiful guardians of the world! the shelter that is impenetrable, strongest, flawless, Aid us with that, O Varuna and Mitra, and when we long to win may we be victors.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
