Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·7·7.83
युवां नरा पश्यमानास आप्यम् प्राचा गव्यन्तः पृथुपर्शवो ययुः । दासा च वृत्रा हतम् आर्याणि च सुदासम् इन्द्रावरुणावसावतम् ॥
yuvāṃ narā paśyamānāsa āpyam prācā gavyantaḥ pṛthuparśavo yayuḥ | dāsā ca vṛtrā hatam āryāṇi ca sudāsam indrāvaruṇāvasāvatam ||
Looking to you and your alliance, O ye Men, armed with broad axes they went forward, fain for spoil. Ye smote and slew his Dasa and his Aryan enemies, and helped Sudas with favour, Indra-Varuna.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यत्रा नरः समयन्ते कृतध्वजो यस्मिन्न् आजा भवति किं चन प्रियम् । यत्रा भयन्ते भुवना स्वर्दृशस् तत्रा न इन्द्रावरुणाधि वोचतम् ॥
yatrā naraḥ samayante kṛtadhvajo yasminn ājā bhavati kiṃ cana priyam | yatrā bhayante bhuvanā svardṛśas tatrā na indrāvaruṇādhi vocatam ||
Where heroes come together with their banners raised, in the encounter where is naught for us to love, Where all things that behold the light are terrified, there did ye comfort us, O Indra-Varuna.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सम् भूम्या अन्ता ध्वसिरा अदृक्षतेन्द्रावरुणा दिवि घोष आरुहत् । अस्थुर् जनानाम् उप माम् अरातयो ऽर्वाग् अवसा हवनश्रुता गतम् ॥
sam bhūmyā antā dhvasirā adṛkṣatendrāvaruṇā divi ghoṣa āruhat | asthur janānām upa mām arātayo 'rvāg avasā havanaśrutā gatam ||
The boundaries of earth were seen all dark with dust: O Indra-Varuna, the shout went up to heaven. The enmities of the people compassed me about. Ye heard my calling and ye came to me with help.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
इन्द्रावरुणा वधनाभिर् अप्रति भेदं वन्वन्ता प्र सुदासम् आवतम् । ब्रह्माण्य् एषां शृणुतं हवीमनि सत्या तृत्सूनाम् अभवत् पुरोहितिः ॥
indrāvaruṇā vadhanābhir aprati bhedaṃ vanvantā pra sudāsam āvatam | brahmāṇy eṣāṃ śṛṇutaṃ havīmani satyā tṛtsūnām abhavat purohitiḥ ||
With your resistless weapons, Indra-Varuna, ye conquered Bheda and ye gave Sudas your aid. Ye heard the prayers of these amid the cries of war: effectual was the service of the Trtsus' priest.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
इन्द्रावरुणाव् अभ्य् आ तपन्ति माघान्य् अर्यो वनुषाम् अरातयः । युवं हि वस्व उभयस्य राजथो ऽध स्मा नो ऽवतम् पार्ये दिवि ॥
indrāvaruṇāv abhy ā tapanti māghāny aryo vanuṣām arātayaḥ | yuvaṃ hi vasva ubhayasya rājatho 'dha smā no 'vatam pārye divi ||
O Indra-Varuna, the wickedness of foes and mine assailants' hatred sorely trouble me. Ye Twain are Lords of riches both of earth and heaven: so grant to us your aid on the decisive day.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
युवां हवन्त उभयास आजिष्व् इन्द्रं च वस्वो वरुणं च सातये । यत्र राजभिर् दशभिर् निबाधितम् प्र सुदासम् आवतं तृत्सुभिः सह ॥
yuvāṃ havanta ubhayāsa ājiṣv indraṃ ca vasvo varuṇaṃ ca sātaye | yatra rājabhir daśabhir nibādhitam pra sudāsam āvataṃ tṛtsubhiḥ saha ||
The men of both the hosts invoked you in the fight, Indra and Varuna, that they might win the wealth, What time ye helped Sudas, with all the Trtsu folk, when the Ten Kings had pressed him down in their attack.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
दश राजानः समिता अयज्यवः सुदासम् इन्द्रावरुणा न युयुधुः । सत्या नृणाम् अद्मसदाम् उपस्तुतिर् देवा एषाम् अभवन् देवहूतिषु ॥
daśa rājānaḥ samitā ayajyavaḥ sudāsam indrāvaruṇā na yuyudhuḥ | satyā nṛṇām admasadām upastutir devā eṣām abhavan devahūtiṣu ||
Ten Kings who worshipped not, O Indra-Varuna, confederate, in war prevailed not o'er Sudas. True was the boast of heroes sitting at the feast: so at their invocations Gods were on their side.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
दाशराज्ञे परियत्ताय विश्वतः सुदास इन्द्रावरुणाव् अशिक्षतम् । श्वित्यञ्चो यत्र नमसा कपर्दिनो धिया धीवन्तो असपन्त तृत्सवः ॥
dāśarājñe pariyattāya viśvataḥ sudāsa indrāvaruṇāv aśikṣatam | śvityañco yatra namasā kapardino dhiyā dhīvanto asapanta tṛtsavaḥ ||
O Indra-Varuna, ye gave Sudas your aid when the Ten Kings in battle compassed him about, There where the white-robed Trtsus with their braided hair, skilled in song worshipped you with homage and with hymn.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वृत्राण्य् अन्यः समिथेषु जिघ्नते व्रतान्य् अन्यो अभि रक्षते सदा । हवामहे वां वृषणा सुवृक्तिभिर् अस्मे इन्द्रावरुणा शर्म यच्छतम् ॥
vṛtrāṇy anyaḥ samitheṣu jighnate vratāny anyo abhi rakṣate sadā | havāmahe vāṃ vṛṣaṇā suvṛktibhir asme indrāvaruṇā śarma yacchatam ||
One of you Twain destroys the Vrtras in the fight, the Other evermore maintains his holy Laws. We call on you, ye Mighty, with our hymns of praise. Vouchsafe us your protection, Indra-Varuna.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अस्मे इन्द्रो वरुणो मित्रो अर्यमा द्युम्नं यच्छन्तु महि शर्म सप्रथः । अवध्रं ज्योतिर् अदितेर् ऋतावृधो देवस्य श्लोकं सवितुर् मनामहे ॥
asme indro varuṇo mitro aryamā dyumnaṃ yacchantu mahi śarma saprathaḥ | avadhraṃ jyotir aditer ṛtāvṛdho devasya ślokaṃ savitur manāmahe ||
May Indra, Varuna, Mitra, and Aryaman vouchsafe us glory and great shelter spreading far. We think of the beneficent light of Aditi, and Savitar's song of praise, the God who strengthens Law.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
