Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·9·9.85
इन्द्राय सोम सुषुतः परि स्रवापामीवा भवतु रक्षसा सह । मा ते रसस्य मत्सत द्वयाविनो द्रविणस्वन्त इह सन्त्व् इन्दवः ॥
indrāya soma suṣutaḥ pari sravāpāmīvā bhavatu rakṣasā saha | mā te rasasya matsata dvayāvino draviṇasvanta iha santv indavaḥ ||
Flow on to Indra, Soma, carefully effused: let sickness stay afar together with the fiends. Let not the double-tongued delight them with thy juice. here be thy flowing drops laden with opulence.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अस्मान् समर्ये पवमान चोदय दक्षो देवानाम् असि हि प्रियो मदः । जहि शत्रूंर् अभ्य् आ भन्दनायतः पिबेन्द्र सोमम् अव नो मृधो जहि ॥
asmān samarye pavamāna codaya dakṣo devānām asi hi priyo madaḥ | jahi śatrūṃr abhy ā bhandanāyataḥ pibendra somam ava no mṛdho jahi ||
O Pavamana, urge us forward in the fight thou art the vigour of the Gods, the well-loved drink. Smite thou our enemies who raise the shout of joy: Indra, drink Soma juice, and drive away our foes.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अदब्ध इन्दो पवसे मदिन्तम आत्मेन्द्रस्य भवसि धासिर् उत्तमः । अभि स्वरन्ति बहवो मनीषिणो राजानम् अस्य भुवनस्य निंसते ॥
adabdha indo pavase madintama ātmendrasya bhavasi dhāsir uttamaḥ | abhi svaranti bahavo manīṣiṇo rājānam asya bhuvanasya niṃsate ||
Unharmed, best Cheerer, thou, O Indu, flowest on: thou, even thou thyself, art Indra's noblest food. Full many a wise man lifts to thee the song of praise, and hails thee with a kiss as Sovran of this world.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सहस्रणीथः शतधारो अद्भुत इन्द्रायेन्दुः पवते काम्यम् मधु । जयन् क्षेत्रम् अभ्य् अर्षा जयन्न् अप उरुं नो गातुं कृणु सोम मीढ्वः ॥
sahasraṇīthaḥ śatadhāro adbhuta indrāyenduḥ pavate kāmyam madhu | jayan kṣetram abhy arṣā jayann apa uruṃ no gātuṃ kṛṇu soma mīḍhvaḥ ||
Wondrous, with hundred streams, hymned in a thousand songs, Indu pours out for Indra his delightful meath. Winning us land and waters, flow thou hitherward: Rainer of bounties, Soma, make broad way for us.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
कनिक्रदत् कलशे गोभिर् अज्यसे व्य् अव्ययं समया वारम् अर्षसि । मर्मृज्यमानो अत्यो न सानसिर् इन्द्रस्य सोम जठरे सम् अक्षरः ॥
kanikradat kalaśe gobhir ajyase vy avyayaṃ samayā vāram arṣasi | marmṛjyamāno atyo na sānasir indrasya soma jaṭhare sam akṣaraḥ ||
Roaring within the beaker thou art balmed with milk: thou passest through the fleecy filter all at once. Carefully cleansed and decked like a prizewinning steed, O Soma, thou hast flowed down within Indra's throat.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
स्वादुः पवस्व दिव्याय जन्मने स्वादुर् इन्द्राय सुहवीतुनाम्ने । स्वादुर् मित्राय वरुणाय वायवे बृहस्पतये मधुमां अदाभ्यः ॥
svāduḥ pavasva divyāya janmane svādur indrāya suhavītunāmne | svādur mitrāya varuṇāya vāyave bṛhaspataye madhumāṃ adābhyaḥ ||
Flow onward sweet of flavour for the Heavenly Race, for Indra sweet, whose name is easily invoked: Flow sweet for Mitra, Varuna, and Vayu, rich in meath, inviolable for Brhaspati.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अत्यम् मृजन्ति कलशे दश क्षिपः प्र विप्राणाम् मतयो वाच ईरते । पवमाना अभ्य् अर्षन्ति सुष्टुतिम् एन्द्रं विशन्ति मदिरास इन्दवः ॥
atyam mṛjanti kalaśe daśa kṣipaḥ pra viprāṇām matayo vāca īrate | pavamānā abhy arṣanti suṣṭutim endraṃ viśanti madirāsa indavaḥ ||
Ten rapid fingers deck the Courser in the jar: with hymns the holy singers send their voices forth. The filtering juices hasten to their eulogy, the drops that gladden find their way to Indra's heart.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
पवमानो अभ्य् अर्षा सुवीर्यम् उर्वीं गव्यूतिम् महि शर्म सप्रथः । माकिर् नो अस्य परिषूतिर् ईशतेन्दो जयेम त्वया धनं-धनम् ॥
pavamāno abhy arṣā suvīryam urvīṃ gavyūtim mahi śarma saprathaḥ | mākir no asya pariṣūtir īśatendo jayema tvayā dhanaṃ-dhanam ||
While thou art purified pour on us hero strength, great, far-extended shelter, spacious pasturage. Let no oppression master this our holy work: may we, O Indu, gain all opulence through thee.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अधि द्याम् अस्थाद् वृषभो विचक्षणो ऽरूरुचद् वि दिवो रोचना कविः । राजा पवित्रम् अत्य् एति रोरुवद् दिवः पीयूषं दुहते नृचक्षसः ॥
adhi dyām asthād vṛṣabho vicakṣaṇo 'rūrucad vi divo rocanā kaviḥ | rājā pavitram aty eti roruvad divaḥ pīyūṣaṃ duhate nṛcakṣasaḥ ||
The Steer who sees afar hath risen above the sky: the Sage hath caused the lights of heaven to give their shine. The. King is passing through the filter with a roar: they drain the milk of heaven from him who looks on men.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
दिवो नाके मधुजिह्वा असश्चतो वेना दुहन्त्य् उक्षणं गिरिष्ठाम् । अप्सु द्रप्सं वावृधानं समुद्र आ सिन्धोर् ऊर्मा मधुमन्तम् पवित्र आ ॥
divo nāke madhujihvā asaścato venā duhanty ukṣaṇaṃ giriṣṭhām | apsu drapsaṃ vāvṛdhānaṃ samudra ā sindhor ūrmā madhumantam pavitra ā ||
High in the vault of heaven, unceasing, honey-tongued, the Loving Ones drain out the mountain-haunting Steer,- The drop that hath grown great in waters, in the lake meath-rich, in the stream's wave and in the cleansing sieve.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
नाके सुपर्णम् उपपप्तिवांसं गिरो वेनानाम् अकृपन्त पूर्वीः । शिशुं रिहन्ति मतयः पनिप्नतं हिरण्ययं शकुनं क्षामणि स्थाम् ॥
nāke suparṇam upapaptivāṃsaṃ giro venānām akṛpanta pūrvīḥ | śiśuṃ rihanti matayaḥ panipnataṃ hiraṇyayaṃ śakunaṃ kṣāmaṇi sthām ||
The Loving Ones besought with many voices the Eagle who had flown away to heaven. Hymns kiss the Youngling worthy of laudation, resting on earth, the Bird of golden colour.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
ऊर्ध्वो गन्धर्वो अधि नाके अस्थाद् विश्वा रूपा प्रतिचक्षाणो अस्य । भानुः शुक्रेण शोचिषा व्य् अद्यौत् प्रारूरुचद् रोदसी मातरा शुचिः ॥
ūrdhvo gandharvo adhi nāke asthād viśvā rūpā praticakṣāṇo asya | bhānuḥ śukreṇa śociṣā vy adyaut prārūrucad rodasī mātarā śuciḥ ||
High to heaven's vault hath the Gandharva risen, beholding all his varied forms and figures. His ray hath shone abroad with gleaming splendour: pure, he hath lighted both the worlds, the Parents.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
