Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·6·6.62
स्तुषे नरा दिवो अस्य प्रसन्ताश्विना हुवे जरमाणो अर्कैः । या सद्य उस्रा व्युषि ज्मो अन्तान् युयूषतः पर्य् उरू वरांसि ॥
stuṣe narā divo asya prasantāśvinā huve jaramāṇo arkaiḥ | yā sadya usrā vyuṣi jmo antān yuyūṣataḥ pary urū varāṃsi ||
I LAUD the Heroes Twain, this heaven's Controllers: singing with songs of praise I call the Asvins, Fain in a moment, when the morns are breaking, to part the earth's ends and the spacious regions.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ता यज्ञम् आ शुचिभिश् चक्रमाणा रथस्य भानुं रुरुचू रजोभिः । पुरू वरांस्य् अमिता मिमानापो धन्वान्य् अति याथो अज्रान् ॥
tā yajñam ā śucibhiś cakramāṇā rathasya bhānuṃ rurucū rajobhiḥ | purū varāṃsy amitā mimānāpo dhanvāny ati yātho ajrān ||
Moving to sacrifice through realms of lustre they light the radiance of the car that bears them. Traversing many wide unmeasured spaces, over the wastes ye pass, and fields, and waters.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ता ह त्यद् वर्तिर् यद् अरध्रम् उग्रेत्था धिय ऊहथुः शश्वद् अश्वैः । मनोजवेभिर् इषिरैः शयध्यै परि व्यथिर् दाशुषो मर्त्यस्य ॥
tā ha tyad vartir yad aradhram ugretthā dhiya ūhathuḥ śaśvad aśvaiḥ | manojavebhir iṣiraiḥ śayadhyai pari vyathir dāśuṣo martyasya ||
Ye to that bounteous path of yours, ye mighty, have ever borne away our thoughts with horses, Mind-swift and full of vigour, that the trouble of man who offers gifts might cease and slumber.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ता नव्यसो जरमाणस्य मन्मोप भूषतो युयुजानसप्ती । शुभम् पृक्षम् इषम् ऊर्जं वहन्ता होता यक्षत् प्रत्नो अध्रुग् युवाना ॥
tā navyaso jaramāṇasya manmopa bhūṣato yuyujānasaptī | śubham pṛkṣam iṣam ūrjaṃ vahantā hotā yakṣat pratno adhrug yuvānā ||
So ye, when ye have yoked your chariothorses, come to the hymn of the most recent singer. Our true and ancient Herald Priest shall bring you, the Youthful, bearing splendour, food, and vigour.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ता वल्गू दस्रा पुरुशाकतमा प्रत्ना नव्यसा वचसा विवासे । या शंसते स्तुवते शम्भविष्ठा बभूवतुर् गृणते चित्रराती ॥
tā valgū dasrā puruśākatamā pratnā navyasā vacasā vivāse | yā śaṃsate stuvate śambhaviṣṭhā babhūvatur gṛṇate citrarātī ||
With newest hymn I call those Wonder-Workers, ancient and brilliant, and exceeding mighty, Bringers of bliss to him who lauds and praises, bestowing varied bounties on the singer.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ता भुज्युं विभिर् अद्भ्यः समुद्रात् तुग्रस्य सूनुम् ऊहथू रजोभिः । अरेणुभिर् योजनेभिर् भुजन्ता पतत्रिभिर् अर्णसो निर् उपस्थात् ॥
tā bhujyuṃ vibhir adbhyaḥ samudrāt tugrasya sūnum ūhathū rajobhiḥ | areṇubhir yojanebhir bhujantā patatribhir arṇaso nir upasthāt ||
So ye, with birds, out of the sea and waters bore Bhujyu, son of Tugra, through the regions. Speeding with winged steeds through dustless spaces, out of the bosom of the flood they bore him.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वि जयुषा रथ्या यातम् अद्रिं श्रुतं हवं वृषणा वध्रिमत्याः । दशस्यन्ता शयवे पिप्यथुर् गाम् इति च्यवाना सुमतिम् भुरण्यू ॥
vi jayuṣā rathyā yātam adriṃ śrutaṃ havaṃ vṛṣaṇā vadhrimatyāḥ | daśasyantā śayave pipyathur gām iti cyavānā sumatim bhuraṇyū ||
Victors, car-borne, ye rent the rock asunder: Bulls, heard the calling of the eunuch's consort. Bounteous, ye filled the cow with milk for Sayu: thus, swift and zealous Ones, ye showed your favour.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यद् रोदसी प्रदिवो अस्ति भूमा हेळो देवानाम् उत मर्त्यत्रा । तद् आदित्या वसवो रुद्रियासो रक्षोयुजे तपुर् अघं दधात ॥
yad rodasī pradivo asti bhūmā heḷo devānām uta martyatrā | tad ādityā vasavo rudriyāso rakṣoyuje tapur aghaṃ dadhāta ||
Whate'er from olden time, Heaven, Earth! existeth great object of the wrath of Gods and mortals, Make that, Adityas, Vasus, sons of Rudra, an evil brand to one allied with demons.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
य ईं राजानाव् ऋतुथा विदधद् रजसो मित्रो वरुणश् चिकेतत् । गम्भीराय रक्षसे हेतिम् अस्य द्रोघाय चिद् वचस आनवाय ॥
ya īṃ rājānāv ṛtuthā vidadhad rajaso mitro varuṇaś ciketat | gambhīrāya rakṣase hetim asya droghāya cid vacasa ānavāya ||
May he who knows, as Varuna and Mitra, air's realm, appointing both the Kings in season, Against the secret fiend cast forth his weapon, against the lying words that strangers utter.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अन्तरैश् चक्रैस् तनयाय वर्तिर् द्युमता यातं नृवता रथेन । सनुत्येन त्यजसा मर्त्यस्य वनुष्यताम् अपि शीर्षा ववृक्तम् ॥
antaraiś cakrais tanayāya vartir dyumatā yātaṃ nṛvatā rathena | sanutyena tyajasā martyasya vanuṣyatām api śīrṣā vavṛktam ||
Come to our home with friendly wheels, for offipring; come on your radiant chariot rich in heroes. Strike off, ye Twain, the heads of our assailants who with man's treacherous attack approach us.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ परमाभिर् उत मध्यमाभिर् नियुद्भिर् यातम् अवमाभिर् अर्वाक् । दृळ्हस्य चिद् गोमतो वि व्रजस्य दुरो वर्तं गृणते चित्रराती ॥
ā paramābhir uta madhyamābhir niyudbhir yātam avamābhir arvāk | dṛḷhasya cid gomato vi vrajasya duro vartaṃ gṛṇate citrarātī ||
Come hitherward to us with teams of horses, the highest and the midmost and the lowest. Bountiful Lords, throw open to the singer doors e'en of the firm-closed stall of cattle.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
