Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·9·9.47
अया सोमः सुकृत्यया महश् चिद् अभ्य् अवर्धत । मन्दान उद् वृषायते ॥
ayā somaḥ sukṛtyayā mahaś cid abhy avardhata | mandāna ud vṛṣāyate ||
Great as he was, Soma hath gained strength by this high solemnity: joyous he riseth like a bull.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
कृतानीद् अस्य कर्त्वा चेतन्ते दस्युतर्हणा । ऋणा च धृष्णुश् चयते ॥
kṛtānīd asya kartvā cetante dasyutarhaṇā | ṛṇā ca dhṛṣṇuś cayate ||
His task is done: his crushings of the Dasyus are made manifest: He sternly reckoneth their debts.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
आत् सोम इन्द्रियो रसो वज्रः सहस्रसा भुवत् । उक्थं यद् अस्य जायते ॥
āt soma indriyo raso vajraḥ sahasrasā bhuvat | ukthaṃ yad asya jāyate ||
Soon as his song of praise is born, the Soma, Indra's juice, becomes A thousand-winning thunderbolt.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
स्वयं कविर् विधर्तरि विप्राय रत्नम् इच्छति । यदी मर्मृज्यते धियः ॥
svayaṃ kavir vidhartari viprāya ratnam icchati | yadī marmṛjyate dhiyaḥ ||
Seer and Sustainer, he himself desireth riches for the sage When he embellisheth his songs.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सिषासतू रयीणां वाजेष्व् अर्वताम् इव । भरेषु जिग्युषाम् असि ॥
siṣāsatū rayīṇāṃ vājeṣv arvatām iva | bhareṣu jigyuṣām asi ||
Fain would they both win riches as in races of the steeds. In war Thou art upon the conquerors' side.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
