Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 6.70

घृतवती भुवनानाम् अभिश्रियोर्वी पृथ्वी मधुदुघे सुपेशसा । द्यावापृथिवी वरुणस्य धर्मणा विष्कभिते अजरे भूरिरेतसा ॥

ghṛtavatī bhuvanānām abhiśriyorvī pṛthvī madhudughe supeśasā | dyāvāpṛthivī varuṇasya dharmaṇā viṣkabhite ajare bhūriretasā ||

Filled full of fatness, compassing all things that be, wide, spacious, dropping meath, beautiful in their form, The Heaven and the Earth by Varuna's decree, unwasting, rich in germs, stand parted each from each.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

असश्चन्ती भूरिधारे पयस्वती घृतं दुहाते सुकृते शुचिव्रते । राजन्ती अस्य भुवनस्य रोदसी अस्मे रेतः सिञ्चतं यन् मनुर्हितम् ॥

asaścantī bhūridhāre payasvatī ghṛtaṃ duhāte sukṛte śucivrate | rājantī asya bhuvanasya rodasī asme retaḥ siñcataṃ yan manurhitam ||

The Everlasting Pair, with full streams, rich in milk, in their pure rule pour fatness for the pious man. Ye who are Regents of this world, O Earth and Heaven, pour into us the genial flow that prospers meit.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

यो वाम् ऋजवे क्रमणाय रोदसी मर्तो ददाश धिषणे स साधति । प्र प्रजाभिर् जायते धर्मणस् परि युवोः सिक्ता विषुरूपाणि सव्रता ॥

yo vām ṛjave kramaṇāya rodasī marto dadāśa dhiṣaṇe sa sādhati | pra prajābhir jāyate dharmaṇas pari yuvoḥ siktā viṣurūpāṇi savratā ||

Whoso, for righteous life, pours offerings to you, O Heaven and Earth, ye Hemispheres, that man succeeds. He in his seed is born again and spreads by Law: from you flow things diverse in form, but ruled alike.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

घृतेन द्यावापृथिवी अभीवृते घृतश्रिया घृतपृचा घृतावृधा । उर्वी पृथ्वी होतृवूर्ये पुरोहिते ते इद् विप्रा ईळते सुम्नम् इष्टये ॥

ghṛtena dyāvāpṛthivī abhīvṛte ghṛtaśriyā ghṛtapṛcā ghṛtāvṛdhā | urvī pṛthvī hotṛvūrye purohite te id viprā īḷate sumnam iṣṭaye ||

Enclosed in fatness, Heaven and Earth are bright therewith: they mingle with the fatness which they still increase. Wide, broad, set foremost at election of the priest, to them the singers pray for bliss to further them.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

मधु नो द्यावापृथिवी मिमिक्षताम् मधुश्चुता मधुदुघे मधुव्रते । दधाने यज्ञं द्रविणं च देवता महि श्रवो वाजम् अस्मे सुवीर्यम् ॥

madhu no dyāvāpṛthivī mimikṣatām madhuścutā madhudughe madhuvrate | dadhāne yajñaṃ draviṇaṃ ca devatā mahi śravo vājam asme suvīryam ||

May Heaven and Earth pour down the balmy rain for us, balm-dropping, yielding balm, with balm upon your path, Bestowing by your Godhead sacrifice and wealth, great fame and strength for us and good heroic might.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

ऊर्जं नो द्यौश् च पृथिवी च पिन्वताम् पिता माता विश्वविदा सुदंससा । संरराणे रोदसी विश्वशम्भुवा सनिं वाजं रयिम् अस्मे सम् इन्वताम् ॥

ūrjaṃ no dyauś ca pṛthivī ca pinvatām pitā mātā viśvavidā sudaṃsasā | saṃrarāṇe rodasī viśvaśambhuvā saniṃ vājaṃ rayim asme sam invatām ||

May Heaven and Earth make food swell plenteously for us, all-knowing Father, jother, wondrous in their works. Pouring out bounties, may, in union, both the Worlds, all beneficial, send us gain, and power, and wealth.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
