Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·9·9.10
प्र स्वानासो रथा इवार्वन्तो न श्रवस्यवः । सोमासो राये अक्रमुः ॥
pra svānāso rathā ivārvanto na śravasyavaḥ | somāso rāye akramuḥ ||
Like cars that thunder on their way, like coursers eager for renown, Have Soma-drops flowed forth for wealth.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
हिन्वानासो रथा इव दधन्विरे गभस्त्योः । भरासः कारिणाम् इव ॥
hinvānāso rathā iva dadhanvire gabhastyoḥ | bharāsaḥ kāriṇām iva ||
Forth have they rushed from holding hands, like chariots that are urged to speed, Like joyful songs of singing-men.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
राजानो न प्रशस्तिभिः सोमासो गोभिर् अञ्जते । यज्ञो न सप्त धातृभिः ॥
rājāno na praśastibhiḥ somāso gobhir añjate | yajño na sapta dhātṛbhiḥ ||
The Somas deck themselves with milk, as Kings are graced with eulogies, And, with seven priests, the sacrifice.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
परि सुवानास इन्दवो मदाय बर्हणा गिरा । सुता अर्षन्ति धारया ॥
pari suvānāsa indavo madāya barhaṇā girā | sutā arṣanti dhārayā ||
Pressed for the gladdening draught, the drops flow forth abundantly with song, The Soma juices in a stream.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आपानासो विवस्वतो जनन्त उषसो भगम् । सूरा अण्वं वि तन्वते ॥
āpānāso vivasvato jananta uṣaso bhagam | sūrā aṇvaṃ vi tanvate ||
Winning Vivasvan's glory and producing Morning's light, the Suns Pass through the openings of the cloth.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अप द्वारा मतीनाम् प्रत्ना ऋण्वन्ति कारवः । वृष्णो हरस आयवः ॥
apa dvārā matīnām pratnā ṛṇvanti kāravaḥ | vṛṣṇo harasa āyavaḥ ||
The singing-men of ancient time open the doors of sacred songs,- Men, for the mighty to accept.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
समीचीनास आसते होतारः सप्तजामयः । पदम् एकस्य पिप्रतः ॥
samīcīnāsa āsate hotāraḥ saptajāmayaḥ | padam ekasya piprataḥ ||
Combined in close society sit the seven priests, the brother-hood, Filling the station of the One.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
नाभा नाभिं न आ ददे चक्षुश् चित् सूर्ये सचा । कवेर् अपत्यम् आ दुहे ॥
nābhā nābhiṃ na ā dade cakṣuś cit sūrye sacā | kaver apatyam ā duhe ||
He gives us kinship with the Gods, and with the Sun unites our eye: The Sage's offspring hath appeared.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अभि प्रिया दिवस् पदम् अध्वर्युभिर् गुहा हितम् । सूरः पश्यति चक्षसा ॥
abhi priyā divas padam adhvaryubhir guhā hitam | sūraḥ paśyati cakṣasā ||
The Sun with his dear eye beholds that quarter of the heavens which priests Have placed within the sacred cell.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
