Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·9·9.88
अयं सोम इन्द्र तुभ्यं सुन्वे तुभ्यम् पवते त्वम् अस्य पाहि । त्वं ह यं चकृषे त्वं ववृष इन्दुम् मदाय युज्याय सोमम् ॥
ayaṃ soma indra tubhyaṃ sunve tubhyam pavate tvam asya pāhi | tvaṃ ha yaṃ cakṛṣe tvaṃ vavṛṣa indum madāya yujyāya somam ||
For thee this Soma is effused, O Indra: drink of this juice; for thee the stream is flowing- Soma, which thou thyself hast made and chosen, even Indu, for thy special drink to cheer thee.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
स ईं रथो न भुरिषाळ् अयोजि महः पुरूणि सातये वसूनि । आद् ईं विश्वा नहुष्याणि जाता स्वर्षाता वन ऊर्ध्वा नवन्त ॥
sa īṃ ratho na bhuriṣāḷ ayoji mahaḥ purūṇi sātaye vasūni | ād īṃ viśvā nahuṣyāṇi jātā svarṣātā vana ūrdhvā navanta ||
Like a capacious car hath it been harnessed, the Mighty; to acquire abundant treasures. Then in the sacrifice they celebrated all triumphs won by Nahusa in the battle.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वायुर् न यो नियुत्वां इष्टयामा नासत्येव हव आ शम्भविष्ठः । विश्ववारो द्रविणोदा इव त्मन् पूषेव धीजवनो ऽसि सोम ॥
vāyur na yo niyutvāṃ iṣṭayāmā nāsatyeva hava ā śambhaviṣṭhaḥ | viśvavāro draviṇodā iva tman pūṣeva dhījavano 'si soma ||
Like Vayu with his team, moving at pleasure, most gracious when invoked like both Nasatyas, Thou art thyself like the Wealth-Giver, Soma! who grants all boons, like song-inspiring Pusan.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
इन्द्रो न यो महा कर्माणि चक्रिर् हन्ता वृत्राणाम् असि सोम पूर्भित् । पैद्वो न हि त्वम् अहिनाम्नां हन्ता विश्वस्यासि सोम दस्योः ॥
indro na yo mahā karmāṇi cakrir hantā vṛtrāṇām asi soma pūrbhit | paidvo na hi tvam ahināmnāṃ hantā viśvasyāsi soma dasyoḥ ||
Like Indra who hath done great deeds, thou, Soma, art slayer of the Vrtras, Fort-destroyer. Like Pedu's horse who killed the brood of serpents, thus thou, O Soma, slayest every Dasyu.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अग्निर् न यो वन आ सृज्यमानो वृथा पाजांसि कृणुते नदीषु । जनो न युध्वा महत उपब्दिर् इयर्ति सोमः पवमान ऊर्मिम् ॥
agnir na yo vana ā sṛjyamāno vṛthā pājāṃsi kṛṇute nadīṣu | jano na yudhvā mahata upabdir iyarti somaḥ pavamāna ūrmim ||
Like Agni loosed amid the forest, fiercely he winneth splendour in the running waters. Like one who fights, the roaring of the mighty, thus Soma Pavamana sends his current.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
एते सोमा अति वाराण्य् अव्या दिव्या न कोशासो अभ्रवर्षाः । वृथा समुद्रं सिन्धवो न नीचीः सुतासो अभि कलशां असृग्रन् ॥
ete somā ati vārāṇy avyā divyā na kośāso abhravarṣāḥ | vṛthā samudraṃ sindhavo na nīcīḥ sutāso abhi kalaśāṃ asṛgran ||
These Somas passing through the fleecy filter, like rain descending from the clouds of heaven, Have been effused and poured into the beakers, swiftly like rivers running lowly seaward.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
शुष्मी शर्धो न मारुतम् पवस्वानभिशस्ता दिव्या यथा विट् । आपो न मक्षू सुमतिर् भवा नः सहस्राप्साः पृतनाषाण् न यज्ञः ॥
śuṣmī śardho na mārutam pavasvānabhiśastā divyā yathā viṭ | āpo na makṣū sumatir bhavā naḥ sahasrāpsāḥ pṛtanāṣāṇ na yajñaḥ ||
Flow onward like the potent band of Maruts, like that Celestial Host whom none revileth. Quickly be gracious unto us like waters, like sacrifice victorious, thousand-fashioned.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
राज्ञो नु ते वरुणस्य व्रतानि बृहद् गभीरं तव सोम धाम । शुचिष् ट्वम् असि प्रियो न मित्रो दक्षाय्यो अर्यमेवासि सोम ॥
rājño nu te varuṇasya vratāni bṛhad gabhīraṃ tava soma dhāma | śuciṣ ṭvam asi priyo na mitro dakṣāyyo aryamevāsi soma ||
Thine are King Varuna's eternal statutes, lofty and deep, O Soma, is thy glory. All-pure art thou like Mitra the beloved, adorable, like Aryaman, O Soma.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
