Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·9·9.104
सखाय आ नि षीदत पुनानाय प्र गायत । शिशुं न यज्ञैः परि भूषत श्रिये ॥
sakhāya ā ni ṣīdata punānāya pra gāyata | śiśuṃ na yajñaiḥ pari bhūṣata śriye ||
Sit down, O friends, and sing aloud to him who purifies himself: Deck him for glory, like a child, with holy rites.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सम् ई वत्सं न मातृभिः सृजता गयसाधनम् । देवाव्यम् मदम् अभि द्विशवसम् ॥
sam ī vatsaṃ na mātṛbhiḥ sṛjatā gayasādhanam | devāvyam madam abhi dviśavasam ||
Unite him bringing household wealth, even as a calf, with mother kine, Him who hath double strength, the God, delighting juice.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
पुनाता दक्षसाधनं यथा शर्धाय वीतये । यथा मित्राय वरुणाय शन्तमः ॥
punātā dakṣasādhanaṃ yathā śardhāya vītaye | yathā mitrāya varuṇāya śantamaḥ ||
Purify him who gives us power, that he, most Blessed One, may be A banquet for the Troop, Mitra, and Varuna.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अस्मभ्यं त्वा वसुविदम् अभि वाणीर् अनूषत । गोभिष् टे वर्णम् अभि वासयामसि ॥
asmabhyaṃ tvā vasuvidam abhi vāṇīr anūṣata | gobhiṣ ṭe varṇam abhi vāsayāmasi ||
Voices have sung aloud to thee as finder out of wealth for us: We clothe the hue thou wearest with a robe of milk.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
स नो मदानाम् पत इन्दो देवप्सरा असि । सखेव सख्ये गातुवित्तमो भव ॥
sa no madānām pata indo devapsarā asi | sakheva sakhye gātuvittamo bhava ||
Thou, Indu, art the food of Gods, O Sovran of all gladdening drinks: As Friend for friend, be thou best finder of success.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सनेमि कृध्य् अस्मद् आ रक्षसं कं चिद् अत्रिणम् । अपादेवं द्वयुम् अंहो युयोधि नः ॥
sanemi kṛdhy asmad ā rakṣasaṃ kaṃ cid atriṇam | apādevaṃ dvayum aṃho yuyodhi naḥ ||
Drive utterly away from us each demon, each voracious fiend, The godless and the false: keep sorrow far away.
