Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 9.79

अचोदसो नो धन्वन्त्व् इन्दवः प्र सुवानासो बृहद्दिवेषु हरयः । वि च नशन् न इषो अरातयो ऽर्यो नशन्त सनिषन्त नो धियः ॥

acodaso no dhanvantv indavaḥ pra suvānāso bṛhaddiveṣu harayaḥ | vi ca naśan na iṣo arātayo 'ryo naśanta saniṣanta no dhiyaḥ ||

Spontaneous let our drops of Soma juice flow on, pressed, golden-hued, among the Gods of lofty heaven. Perish among us they who give no gifts of food! perish the godless! May our prayers obtain success.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

प्र णो धन्वन्त्व् इन्दवो मदच्युतो धना वा येभिर् अर्वतो जुनीमसि । तिरो मर्तस्य कस्य चित् परिह्वृतिं वयं धनानि विश्वधा भरेमहि ॥

pra ṇo dhanvantv indavo madacyuto dhanā vā yebhir arvato junīmasi | tiro martasya kasya cit parihvṛtiṃ vayaṃ dhanāni viśvadhā bharemahi ||

Forward to us the drops, distilling meath, shall flow, like riches for whose sake we urge the horses on. Beyond the crafty hindering of all mortal men may we continually bear precious wealth away.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

उत स्वस्या अरात्या अरिर् हि ष उतान्यस्या अरात्या वृको हि षः । धन्वन् न तृष्णा सम् अरीत तां अभि सोम जहि पवमान दुराध्यः ॥

uta svasyā arātyā arir hi ṣa utānyasyā arātyā vṛko hi ṣaḥ | dhanvan na tṛṣṇā sam arīta tāṃ abhi soma jahi pavamāna durādhyaḥ ||

Yea, verily, foe of hate shown to himself is he, yea, verity, destroyer too of other hate. As thirst subdueth in the desert, conquer thou, O Soma Pavarnana, men of evil thoughts.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

दिवि ते नाभा परमो य आददे पृथिव्यास् ते रुरुहुः सानवि क्षिपः । अद्रयस् त्वा बप्सति गोर् अधि त्वच्य् अप्सु त्वा हस्तैर् दुदुहुर् मनीषिणः ॥

divi te nābhā paramo ya ādade pṛthivyās te ruruhuḥ sānavi kṣipaḥ | adrayas tvā bapsati gor adhi tvacy apsu tvā hastair duduhur manīṣiṇaḥ ||

Near kin to thee is he, raised loftiest in the heavens: upon the earth's high ridge thy scions have grown forth. The press-stones chew and crunch thee on the ox's hide: sages have milked thee with their hands into the streams.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

एवा त इन्दो सुभ्वं सुपेशसं रसं तुञ्जन्ति प्रथमा अभिश्रियः । निदं-निदम् पवमान नि तारिष आविस् ते शुष्मो भवतु प्रियो मदः ॥

evā ta indo subhvaṃ supeśasaṃ rasaṃ tuñjanti prathamā abhiśriyaḥ | nidaṃ-nidam pavamāna ni tāriṣa āvis te śuṣmo bhavatu priyo madaḥ ||

So do they hurry on thy strong and beauteous juice, O Indu, as the first ingredient of the draught. Bring low, thou Pavamana, every single foe, and be thy might shown forth as sweet and gladdening drink.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
