Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·9·9.89
प्रो स्य वह्निः पथ्याभिर् अस्यान् दिवो न वृष्टिः पवमानो अक्षाः । सहस्रधारो असदन् न्य् अस्मे मातुर् उपस्थे वन आ च सोमः ॥
pro sya vahniḥ pathyābhir asyān divo na vṛṣṭiḥ pavamāno akṣāḥ | sahasradhāro asadan ny asme mātur upasthe vana ā ca somaḥ ||
This Chariot-horse hath moved along the pathways, and Pavamana flowed like rain from heaven. With us hath Soma with a thousand currents sunk in the wood, upon his Mother's bosom.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
राजा सिन्धूनाम् अवसिष्ट वास ऋतस्य नावम् आरुहद् रजिष्ठाम् । अप्सु द्रप्सो वावृधे श्येनजूतो दुह ईम् पिता दुह ईम् पितुर् जाम् ॥
rājā sindhūnām avasiṣṭa vāsa ṛtasya nāvam āruhad rajiṣṭhām | apsu drapso vāvṛdhe śyenajūto duha īm pitā duha īm pitur jām ||
King, he hath clothed him in the robe of rivers, mounted the straightest-going ship of Order. Sped by the Hawk the drop hath waxed in waters: the father drains it, drains the Father's offspring.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सिंहं नसन्त मध्वो अयासं हरिम् अरुषं दिवो अस्य पतिम् । शूरो युत्सु प्रथमः पृच्छते गा अस्य चक्षसा परि पात्य् उक्षा ॥
siṃhaṃ nasanta madhvo ayāsaṃ harim aruṣaṃ divo asya patim | śūro yutsu prathamaḥ pṛcchate gā asya cakṣasā pari pāty ukṣā ||
They come to him, red, tawny, Lord of Heaven, the watchful Guardian of the meath, the Lion. First, Hero in the fight, he seeks the cattle, and with his eye the Steer is our protector.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
मधुपृष्ठं घोरम् अयासम् अश्वं रथे युञ्जन्त्य् उरुचक्र ऋष्वम् । स्वसार ईं जामयो मर्जयन्ति सनाभयो वाजिनम् ऊर्जयन्ति ॥
madhupṛṣṭhaṃ ghoram ayāsam aśvaṃ rathe yuñjanty urucakra ṛṣvam | svasāra īṃ jāmayo marjayanti sanābhayo vājinam ūrjayanti ||
They harness to the broad-wheeled car the mighty Courser whose back bears meath, unwearied, awful. The twins, the sisters brighten him, and strengthen-these children of one dame the vigorous Racer.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
चतस्र ईं घृतदुहः सचन्ते समाने अन्तर् धरुणे निषत्ताः । ता ईम् अर्षन्ति नमसा पुनानास् ता ईं विश्वतः परि षन्ति पूर्वीः ॥
catasra īṃ ghṛtaduhaḥ sacante samāne antar dharuṇe niṣattāḥ | tā īm arṣanti namasā punānās tā īṃ viśvataḥ pari ṣanti pūrvīḥ ||
Four pouring out the holy oil attend him, sitting together in the same container. To him they flow, when purified, with homage, and still, from every side, are first about him.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
विष्टम्भो दिवो धरुणः पृथिव्या विश्वा उत क्षितयो हस्ते अस्य । असत् त उत्सो गृणते नियुत्वान् मध्वो अंशुः पवत इन्द्रियाय ॥
viṣṭambho divo dharuṇaḥ pṛthivyā viśvā uta kṣitayo haste asya | asat ta utso gṛṇate niyutvān madhvo aṃśuḥ pavata indriyāya ||
He is the buttress of the heavens, supporter of earth, and in his hand are all the people. Be the team's Lord a well to thee the singer: cleansed is the sweet plant's stalk for deed of glory.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वन्वन्न् अवातो अभि देववीतिम् इन्द्राय सोम वृत्रहा पवस्व । शग्धि महः पुरुश्चन्द्रस्य रायः सुवीर्यस्य पतयः स्याम ॥
vanvann avāto abhi devavītim indrāya soma vṛtrahā pavasva | śagdhi mahaḥ puruścandrasya rāyaḥ suvīryasya patayaḥ syāma ||
Fighting, uninjured come where Gods are feasted; Soma, as Vitra-slayer flow for Indra. Vouchsafe us ample riches very splendid may we be masters of heroic vigour.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
