Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 9.76

धर्ता दिवः पवते कृत्व्यो रसो दक्षो देवानाम् अनुमाद्यो नृभिः । हरिः सृजानो अत्यो न सत्वभिर् वृथा पाजांसि कृणुते नदीष्व् आ ॥

dhartā divaḥ pavate kṛtvyo raso dakṣo devānām anumādyo nṛbhiḥ | hariḥ sṛjāno atyo na satvabhir vṛthā pājāṃsi kṛṇute nadīṣv ā ||

On flows the potent juice, sustainer of the heavens, the strength of Gods, whom men must hail with shouts of joy. The Gold-hued, started like a courser by brave men, impetuously winneth splendour in the streams.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

RV 9.76.2

शूरो न धत्त आयुधा गभस्त्योः स्वः सिषासन् रथिरो गविष्टिषु । इन्द्रस्य शुष्मम् ईरयन्न् अपस्युभिर् इन्दुर् हिन्वानो अज्यते मनीषिभिः ॥

śūro na dhatta āyudhā gabhastyoḥ svaḥ siṣāsan rathiro gaviṣṭiṣu | indrasya śuṣmam īrayann apasyubhir indur hinvāno ajyate manīṣibhiḥ ||

He takes his weapons, like a hero, in his hands, fain to win light, car-borne, in forays for the kine. Indu, while stimulating India's might, is urged forward and balmed by sages skillful in their task.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

RV 9.76.3

इन्द्रस्य सोम पवमान ऊर्मिणा तविष्यमाणो जठरेष्व् आ विश । प्र णः पिन्व विद्युद् अभ्रेव रोदसी धिया न वाजां उप मासि शश्वतः ॥

indrasya soma pavamāna ūrmiṇā taviṣyamāṇo jaṭhareṣv ā viśa | pra ṇaḥ pinva vidyud abhreva rodasī dhiyā na vājāṃ upa māsi śaśvataḥ ||

Soma, as thou art purified with flowing wave, exhibiting thy strength enter thou Indra's throat. Make both worlds stream for us, as lightning doth the clouds: mete out exhaustless powers for us, as 'twere through song.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

RV 9.76.4

विश्वस्य राजा पवते स्वर्दृश ऋतस्य धीतिम् ऋषिषाळ् अवीवशत् । यः सूर्यस्यासिरेण मृज्यते पिता मतीनाम् असमष्टकाव्यः ॥

viśvasya rājā pavate svardṛśa ṛtasya dhītim ṛṣiṣāḷ avīvaśat | yaḥ sūryasyāsireṇa mṛjyate pitā matīnām asamaṣṭakāvyaḥ ||

Onward he flows, the King of all that sees the light: the Rsis' Lord hath raised the song of sacrifice; Even he who is adorned with Surya's arrowy beam, Father of hymns, whose wisdom is beyond our reach.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

RV 9.76.5

वृषेव यूथा परि कोशम् अर्षस्य् अपाम् उपस्थे वृषभः कनिक्रदत् । स इन्द्राय पवसे मत्सरिन्तमो यथा जेषाम समिथे त्वोतयः ॥

vṛṣeva yūthā pari kośam arṣasy apām upasthe vṛṣabhaḥ kanikradat | sa indrāya pavase matsarintamo yathā jeṣāma samithe tvotayaḥ ||

Like as a bull to herds, thou flowest to the pail, bellowing as a steer upon the water's lap. So, best of Cheerers, thou for Indra flowest on that we, with thy protection, may o'ercome in fight.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
