Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·6·6.71
उद् उ ष्य देवः सविता हिरण्यया बाहू अयंस्त सवनाय सुक्रतुः । घृतेन पाणी अभि प्रुष्णुते मखो युवा सुदक्षो रजसो विधर्मणि ॥
ud u ṣya devaḥ savitā hiraṇyayā bāhū ayaṃsta savanāya sukratuḥ | ghṛtena pāṇī abhi pruṣṇute makho yuvā sudakṣo rajaso vidharmaṇi ||
Full of effectual wisdom Savitar the God hath stretched out golden arms that he may bring forth life. Young and most skilful, while he holds the region up, the Warrior sprinkles fatness over both his hands.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
देवस्य वयं सवितुः सवीमनि श्रेष्ठे स्याम वसुनश् च दावने । यो विश्वस्य द्विपदो यश् चतुष्पदो निवेशने प्रसवे चासि भूमनः ॥
devasya vayaṃ savituḥ savīmani śreṣṭhe syāma vasunaś ca dāvane | yo viśvasya dvipado yaś catuṣpado niveśane prasave cāsi bhūmanaḥ ||
May we enjoy the noblest vivifying force of Savitar the God, that he may give us wealth: For thou art mighty to produce and lull to rest the world of life that moves on two feet and on four.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अदब्धेभिः सवितः पायुभिष् ट्वं शिवेभिर् अद्य परि पाहि नो गयम् । हिरण्यजिह्वः सुविताय नव्यसे रक्षा माकिर् नो अघशंस ईशत ॥
adabdhebhiḥ savitaḥ pāyubhiṣ ṭvaṃ śivebhir adya pari pāhi no gayam | hiraṇyajihvaḥ suvitāya navyase rakṣā mākir no aghaśaṃsa īśata ||
Protect our habitation, Savitar, this day, with guardian aids around, auspicious, firm and true. God of the golden tongue, keep us for newest bliss: let not the evil-wisher have us in his power.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
उद् उ ष्य देवः सविता दमूना हिरण्यपाणिः प्रतिदोषम् अस्थात् । अयोहनुर् यजतो मन्द्रजिह्व आ दाशुषे सुवति भूरि वामम् ॥
ud u ṣya devaḥ savitā damūnā hiraṇyapāṇiḥ pratidoṣam asthāt | ayohanur yajato mandrajihva ā dāśuṣe suvati bhūri vāmam ||
This Savitar the God, the golden-handed, Friend of the home, hath risen to meet the twilight. With cheeks of brass, with pleasant tongue, the Holy, he sends the worshipper rich gifts in plenty.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
उद् ऊ अयां उपवक्तेव बाहू हिरण्यया सविता सुप्रतीका । दिवो रोहांस्य् अरुहत् पृथिव्या अरीरमत् पतयत् कच् चिद् अभ्वम् ॥
ud ū ayāṃ upavakteva bāhū hiraṇyayā savitā supratīkā | divo rohāṃsy aruhat pṛthivyā arīramat patayat kac cid abhvam ||
Like a Director, Savitar hath extended his golden arms, exceeding fair to look on. He hath gone up the heights of earth and heaven, and made each monster fall and cease from troubling.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वामम् अद्य सवितर् वामम् उ श्वो दिवे-दिवे वामम् अस्मभ्यं सावीः । वामस्य हि क्षयस्य देव भूरेर् अया धिया वामभाजः स्याम ॥
vāmam adya savitar vāmam u śvo dive-dive vāmam asmabhyaṃ sāvīḥ | vāmasya hi kṣayasya deva bhūrer ayā dhiyā vāmabhājaḥ syāma ||
Fair wealth, O Savitar, to-day, to-morrow, fair wealth produce for us each day that passes. May we through this our song be happy gainers, God, of a fair and spacious habitation.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
