Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·5·5.74
कूष्ठो देवाव् अश्विनाद्या दिवो मनावसू । तच् छ्रवथो वृषण्वसू अत्रिर् वाम् आ विवासति ॥
kūṣṭho devāv aśvinādyā divo manāvasū | tac chravatho vṛṣaṇvasū atrir vām ā vivāsati ||
Where in the heavens are ye to-day, Gods, Asvins, rich in constancy? Hear this, ye excellent as Steers: Atri inviteth you to come.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
कुह त्या कुह नु श्रुता दिवि देवा नासत्या । कस्मिन्न् आ यतथो जने को वां नदीनां सचा ॥
kuha tyā kuha nu śrutā divi devā nāsatyā | kasminn ā yatatho jane ko vāṃ nadīnāṃ sacā ||
Where are they now? Where are the Twain, the famed Nasatyas, Gods in heaven? Who is the man ye strive to reach? Who of your suppliants is with you?
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
कं याथः कं ह गच्छथः कम् अच्छा युञ्जाथे रथम् । कस्य ब्रह्माणि रण्यथो वयं वाम् उश्मसीष्टये ॥
kaṃ yāthaḥ kaṃ ha gacchathaḥ kam acchā yuñjāthe ratham | kasya brahmāṇi raṇyatho vayaṃ vām uśmasīṣṭaye ||
Whom do ye visit, whom approach? to whom direct your harnessed car? With whose devotions are ye pleased? We long for you to further us.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
पौरं चिद् ध्य् उदप्रुतम् पौर पौराय जिन्वथः । यद् ईं गृभीततातये सिंहम् इव द्रुहस् पदे ॥
pauraṃ cid dhy udaprutam paura paurāya jinvathaḥ | yad īṃ gṛbhītatātaye siṃham iva druhas pade ||
Ye, Strengtheners, for Paura stir the filler swimming in the flood, Advancing to be captured like a lion to the ambuscade.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
प्र च्यवानाज् जुजुरुषो वव्रिम् अत्कं न मुञ्चथः । युवा यदी कृथः पुनर् आ कामम् ऋण्वे वध्वः ॥
pra cyavānāj jujuruṣo vavrim atkaṃ na muñcathaḥ | yuvā yadī kṛthaḥ punar ā kāmam ṛṇve vadhvaḥ ||
Ye from Cyavana worn with age removed his skin as 'twere a robe. So, when ye made him young again, he stirred the longing of a dame.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अस्ति हि वाम् इह स्तोता स्मसि वां संदृशि श्रिये । नू श्रुतम् म आ गतम् अवोभिर् वाजिनीवसू ॥
asti hi vām iha stotā smasi vāṃ saṃdṛśi śriye | nū śrutam ma ā gatam avobhir vājinīvasū ||
Here is the man who lauds you both: to see your glory are we here. Now bear me, come with saving help, ye who are rich in store of wealth.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
को वाम् अद्य पुरूणाम् आ वव्ने मर्त्यानाम् । को विप्रो विप्रवाहसा को यज्ञैर् वाजिनीवसू ॥
ko vām adya purūṇām ā vavne martyānām | ko vipro vipravāhasā ko yajñair vājinīvasū ||
Who among many mortal men this day hath won you to himself? What bard, accepters of the bard? Who, rich in wealth! with sacrifice?
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ वां रथो रथानां येष्ठो यात्व् अश्विना । पुरू चिद् अस्मयुस् तिर आङ्गूषो मर्त्येष्व् आ ॥
ā vāṃ ratho rathānāṃ yeṣṭho yātv aśvinā | purū cid asmayus tira āṅgūṣo martyeṣv ā ||
O Asvins, may your car approach, most excellent of cars for speed. Through many regions may our praise pass onward among mortal men.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
शम् ऊ षु वाम् मधूयुवास्माकम् अस्तु चर्कृतिः । अर्वाचीना विचेतसा विभिः श्येनेव दीयतम् ॥
śam ū ṣu vām madhūyuvāsmākam astu carkṛtiḥ | arvācīnā vicetasā vibhiḥ śyeneva dīyatam ||
May our laudation of you Twain, lovers of meath! be sweet to you. Fly hitherward, ye wise of heart, like falcons with your winged steeds.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अश्विना यद् ध कर्हि चिच् छुश्रूयातम् इमं हवम् । वस्वीर् ऊ षु वाम् भुजः पृञ्चन्ति सु वाम् पृचः ॥
aśvinā yad dha karhi cic chuśrūyātam imaṃ havam | vasvīr ū ṣu vām bhujaḥ pṛñcanti su vām pṛcaḥ ||
O Asvins, when at any time ye listen to this call of mine, For you is dainty food prepared: they mix refreshing food for you.
