Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·7·7.43
प्र वो यज्ञेषु देवयन्तो अर्चन् द्यावा नमोभिः पृथिवी इषध्यै । येषाम् ब्रह्माण्य् असमानि विप्रा विष्वग् वियन्ति वनिनो न शाखाः ॥
pra vo yajñeṣu devayanto arcan dyāvā namobhiḥ pṛthivī iṣadhyai | yeṣām brahmāṇy asamāni viprā viṣvag viyanti vanino na śākhāḥ ||
Sing out the pious at your sacrifices to move with adorations Earth and Heaven- The Holy Singers, whose unmatched devotions, like a tree's branches, part in all directions.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
प्र यज्ञ एतु हेत्वो न सप्तिर् उद् यच्छध्वं समनसो घृताचीः । स्तृणीत बर्हिर् अध्वराय साधूर्ध्वा शोचींषि देवयून्य् अस्थुः ॥
pra yajña etu hetvo na saptir ud yacchadhvaṃ samanaso ghṛtācīḥ | stṛṇīta barhir adhvarāya sādhūrdhvā śocīṃṣi devayūny asthuḥ ||
Let sacrifice proceed like some fleet courser: with one accord lift ye on high the ladles. Strew sacred grass meet for the solenm service: bright flames that love the Gods have mounted upward.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ पुत्रासो न मातरं विभृत्राः सानौ देवासो बर्हिषः सदन्तु । आ विश्वाची विदथ्याम् अनक्त्व् अग्ने मा नो देवताता मृधस् कः ॥
ā putrāso na mātaraṃ vibhṛtrāḥ sānau devāso barhiṣaḥ sadantu | ā viśvācī vidathyām anaktv agne mā no devatātā mṛdhas kaḥ ||
Like babes in arms reposing on their mother, let the Gods sit upon the grass's summit. Let general fire make bright the flame of worship: scorn us not, Agni, in the Gods' assembly.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ते सीषपन्त जोषम् आ यजत्रा ऋतस्य धाराः सुदुघा दुहानाः । ज्येष्ठं वो अद्य मह आ वसूनाम् आ गन्तन समनसो यति ष्ठ ॥
te sīṣapanta joṣam ā yajatrā ṛtasya dhārāḥ sudughā duhānāḥ | jyeṣṭhaṃ vo adya maha ā vasūnām ā gantana samanaso yati ṣṭha ||
Gladly the Gods have let themselves be honoured, milking the copious streams of holy Order. The highest might to-day is yours, the Vasithas': come ye, as many as ye are, one-minded.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
एवा नो अग्ने विक्ष्व् आ दशस्य त्वया वयं सहसावन्न् आस्क्राः । राया युजा सधमादो अरिष्टा यूयम् पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥
evā no agne vikṣv ā daśasya tvayā vayaṃ sahasāvann āskrāḥ | rāyā yujā sadhamādo ariṣṭā yūyam pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||
So, Agni, send us wealth among the people: may we be closely knit to thee, O Victor, Unharmed, and rich, and taking joy together. Preserve us evermore, ye gods, with blessings.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
