Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·6·6.65
एषा स्या नो दुहिता दिवोजाः क्षितीर् उच्छन्ती मानुषीर् अजीगः । या भानुना रुशता राम्यास्व् अज्ञायि तिरस् तमसश् चिद् अक्तून् ॥
eṣā syā no duhitā divojāḥ kṣitīr ucchantī mānuṣīr ajīgaḥ | yā bhānunā ruśatā rāmyāsv ajñāyi tiras tamasaś cid aktūn ||
Shedding her light on human habitations this Child of Heaven hath called us from our slumber; She who at night-time with her argent lustre hath shown herself e'en through the shades of darkness.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वि तद् ययुर् अरुणयुग्भिर् अश्वैश् चित्रम् भान्त्य् उषसश् चन्द्ररथाः । अग्रं यज्ञस्य बृहतो नयन्तीर् वि ता बाधन्ते तम ऊर्म्यायाः ॥
vi tad yayur aruṇayugbhir aśvaiś citram bhānty uṣasaś candrarathāḥ | agraṃ yajñasya bṛhato nayantīr vi tā bādhante tama ūrmyāyāḥ ||
All this with red-rayed steeds have they divided: the Dawns on bright cars shine in wondrous fashion. They, bringing near the stately rite's commencement, drive far away the night's surrounding shadows.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
श्रवो वाजम् इषम् ऊर्जं वहन्तीर् नि दाशुष उषसो मर्त्याय । मघोनीर् वीरवत् पत्यमाना अवो धात विधते रत्नम् अद्य ॥
śravo vājam iṣam ūrjaṃ vahantīr ni dāśuṣa uṣaso martyāya | maghonīr vīravat patyamānā avo dhāta vidhate ratnam adya ||
Dawns, bringing hither, to the man who worships, glory and power and might and food and vigour, Opulent, with imperial sway like heroes, favour your servant and this day enrich him.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
इदा हि वो विधते रत्नम् अस्तीदा वीराय दाशुष उषासः । इदा विप्राय जरते यद् उक्था नि ष्म मावते वहथा पुरा चित् ॥
idā hi vo vidhate ratnam astīdā vīrāya dāśuṣa uṣāsaḥ | idā viprāya jarate yad ukthā ni ṣma māvate vahathā purā cit ||
Now is there treasure for the man who serves you, now for the hero, Dawns! who brings oblation; Now for the singer when he sings the praise-song. Even to one like me ye brought aforetime.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
इदा हि त उषो अद्रिसानो गोत्रा गवाम् अङ्गिरसो गृणन्ति । व्य् अर्केण बिभिदुर् ब्रह्मणा च सत्या नृणाम् अभवद् देवहूतिः ॥
idā hi ta uṣo adrisāno gotrā gavām aṅgiraso gṛṇanti | vy arkeṇa bibhidur brahmaṇā ca satyā nṛṇām abhavad devahūtiḥ ||
O Dawn who standest on the mountain ridges, Angirases now praise thy stalls of cattle. With prayer and holy hymn they burst them open: the heroes' calling on the Gods was fruitful.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
उच्छा दिवो दुहितः प्रत्नवन् नो भरद्वाजवद् विधते मघोनि । सुवीरं रयिं गृणते रिरीह्य् उरुगायम् अधि धेहि श्रवो नः ॥
ucchā divo duhitaḥ pratnavan no bharadvājavad vidhate maghoni | suvīraṃ rayiṃ gṛṇate rirīhy urugāyam adhi dhehi śravo naḥ ||
Shine on us as of old, thou Child of Heaven,on him, rich Maid! who serves like Bharadvaja. Give to the singer wealth with noble heroes, and upon us bestow wide-spreading glory.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
