Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·7·7.71
अप स्वसुर् उषसो नग् जिहीते रिणक्ति कृष्णीर् अरुषाय पन्थाम् । अश्वामघा गोमघा वां हुवेम दिवा नक्तं शरुम् अस्मद् युयोतम् ॥
apa svasur uṣaso nag jihīte riṇakti kṛṣṇīr aruṣāya panthām | aśvāmaghā gomaghā vāṃ huvema divā naktaṃ śarum asmad yuyotam ||
The Night retireth from the Dawn her Sister; the Dark one yieldeth to the Red her pathway. Let us invoke you rich in steeds and cattle - by day and night keep far from us the arrow.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
उपायातं दाशुषे मर्त्याय रथेन वामम् अश्विना वहन्ता । युयुतम् अस्मद् अनिराम् अमीवां दिवा नक्तम् माध्वी त्रासीथां नः ॥
upāyātaṃ dāśuṣe martyāya rathena vāmam aśvinā vahantā | yuyutam asmad anirām amīvāṃ divā naktam mādhvī trāsīthāṃ naḥ ||
Bearing rich treasure in your car, O Asvins, come to the mortal who presents oblation. Keep at a distance penury and sickness; Lovers of Sweetness, day and night preserve us.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आ वां रथम् अवमस्यां व्युष्टौ सुम्नायवो वृषणो वर्तयन्तु । स्यूमगभस्तिम् ऋतयुग्भिर् अश्वैर् आश्विना वसुमन्तं वहेथाम् ॥
ā vāṃ ratham avamasyāṃ vyuṣṭau sumnāyavo vṛṣaṇo vartayantu | syūmagabhastim ṛtayugbhir aśvair āśvinā vasumantaṃ vahethām ||
May your strong horses, seeking bliss, bring hither your chariot at the earliest flush of morning. With coursers yoked by Law drive hither, Asvins, your car whose reins are light, laden with treasure.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यो वां रथो नृपती अस्ति वोळ्हा त्रिवन्धुरो वसुमां उस्रयामा । आ न एना नासत्योप यातम् अभि यद् वां विश्वप्स्न्यो जिगाति ॥
yo vāṃ ratho nṛpatī asti voḷhā trivandhuro vasumāṃ usrayāmā | ā na enā nāsatyopa yātam abhi yad vāṃ viśvapsnyo jigāti ||
The chariot, Princes, that conveys you, moving at daylight, triple-seated, fraught with riches, Even with this come unto us, Nasatyas, that laden with all food it may approach us.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
युवं च्यवानं जरसो ऽमुमुक्तं नि पेदव ऊहथुर् आशुम् अश्वम् । निर् अंहसस् तमस स्पर्तम् अत्रिं नि जाहुषं शिथिरे धातम् अन्तः ॥
yuvaṃ cyavānaṃ jaraso 'mumuktaṃ ni pedava ūhathur āśum aśvam | nir aṃhasas tamasa spartam atriṃ ni jāhuṣaṃ śithire dhātam antaḥ ||
Ye freed Cyavana from old age and weakness: ye brought the courser fleet of food to Pedu. Ye rescued Atri from distress and darkness, and loosed for Jahusa the bonds that bound him.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
इयम् मनीषा इयम् अश्विना गीर् इमां सुवृक्तिं वृषणा जुषेथाम् । इमा ब्रह्माणि युवयून्य् अग्मन् यूयम् पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥
iyam manīṣā iyam aśvinā gīr imāṃ suvṛktiṃ vṛṣaṇā juṣethām | imā brahmāṇi yuvayūny agman yūyam pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||
This is the thought, this is the song, O Asvins: accept this hymn of ours, ye Steers, With favour. May these our prayers addressed to you come nigh you. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
