Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·5·5.66
आ चिकितान सुक्रतू देवौ मर्त रिशादसा । वरुणाय ऋतपेशसे दधीत प्रयसे महे ॥
ā cikitāna sukratū devau marta riśādasā | varuṇāya ṛtapeśase dadhīta prayase mahe ||
O SAPIENT man, call the Two Gods, the very wise, who slay the foe. For Varuna, whose form is Law, place offerings for his great delight.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ता हि क्षत्रम् अविह्रुतं सम्यग् असुर्यम् आशाते । अध व्रतेव मानुषं स्वर् ण धायि दर्शतम् ॥
tā hi kṣatram avihrutaṃ samyag asuryam āśāte | adha vrateva mānuṣaṃ svar ṇa dhāyi darśatam ||
For they have won unbroken sway in full perfection, power divine. And, like high laws, the world of man hath been made beautiful as light.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ता वाम् एषे रथानाम् उर्वीं गव्यूतिम् एषाम् । रातहव्यस्य सुष्टुतिं दधृक् स्तोमैर् मनामहे ॥
tā vām eṣe rathānām urvīṃ gavyūtim eṣām | rātahavyasya suṣṭutiṃ dadhṛk stomair manāmahe ||
Therefore we praise you that your cars may travel far in front of ours- You who accept the eulogy of Ratahavya with his hymns.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अधा हि काव्या युवं दक्षस्य पूर्भिर् अद्भुता । नि केतुना जनानां चिकेथे पूतदक्षसा ॥
adhā hi kāvyā yuvaṃ dakṣasya pūrbhir adbhutā | ni ketunā janānāṃ cikethe pūtadakṣasā ||
And ye show whom, Wondrous Gods with fulness of intelligence. By men's discernment are ye marked, O ye whose might is purified.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तद् ऋतम् पृथिवि बृहच् छ्रवएष ऋषीणाम् । ज्रयसानाव् अरम् पृथ्व् अति क्षरन्ति यामभिः ॥
tad ṛtam pṛthivi bṛhac chravaeṣa ṛṣīṇām | jrayasānāv aram pṛthv ati kṣaranti yāmabhiḥ ||
This is the Law sublime, O Earth: to aid the Rsis' toil for fame The Two, wide-spreading, are prepared. They come with ample overflow.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ यद् वाम् ईयचक्षसा मित्र वयं च सूरयः । व्यचिष्ठे बहुपाय्ये यतेमहि स्वराज्ये ॥
ā yad vām īyacakṣasā mitra vayaṃ ca sūrayaḥ | vyaciṣṭhe bahupāyye yatemahi svarājye ||
Mitra, ye Gods with wandering eyes, would that the worshippers and we Might strive to reach the realm ye rule, most spacious and protected well,
