Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·9·9.91
असर्जि वक्वा रथ्ये यथाजौ धिया मनोता प्रथमो मनीषी । दश स्वसारो अधि सानो अव्ये ऽजन्ति वह्निं सदनान्य् अच्छ ॥
asarji vakvā rathye yathājau dhiyā manotā prathamo manīṣī | daśa svasāro adhi sāno avye 'janti vahniṃ sadanāny accha ||
As for a chariot-race, the skillful Speaker, Chief, Sage, Inventor, hath, with song, been started. The sisters ten upon the fleecy summit drive on the Car-horse to the resting places.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वीती जनस्य दिव्यस्य कव्यैर् अधि सुवानो नहुष्येभिर् इन्दुः । प्र यो नृभिर् अमृतो मर्त्येभिर् मर्मृजानो ऽविभिर् गोभिर् अद्भिः ॥
vītī janasya divyasya kavyair adhi suvāno nahuṣyebhir induḥ | pra yo nṛbhir amṛto martyebhir marmṛjāno 'vibhir gobhir adbhiḥ ||
The drop of Soma, pressed by wise Nahusyas, becomes the banquet of the Heavenly People- Indu, by hands of mortal men made beauteous, immortal, with the sheep and cows and waters.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वृषा वृष्णे रोरुवद् अंशुर् अस्मै पवमानो रुशद् ईर्ते पयो गोः । सहस्रम् ऋक्वा पथिभिर् वचोविद् अध्वस्मभिः सूरो अण्वं वि याति ॥
vṛṣā vṛṣṇe roruvad aṃśur asmai pavamāno ruśad īrte payo goḥ | sahasram ṛkvā pathibhir vacovid adhvasmabhiḥ sūro aṇvaṃ vi yāti ||
Steer roaring unto Steer, this Pavamana, this juice runs to the white milk of the milch-cow. Through thousand fine hairs goes the tuneful Singer, like Sura by his fair and open pathways.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
रुजा दृळ्हा चिद् रक्षसः सदांसि पुनान इन्द ऊर्णुहि वि वाजान् । वृश्चोपरिष्टात् तुजता वधेन ये अन्ति दूराद् उपनायम् एषाम् ॥
rujā dṛḷhā cid rakṣasaḥ sadāṃsi punāna inda ūrṇuhi vi vājān | vṛścopariṣṭāt tujatā vadhena ye anti dūrād upanāyam eṣām ||
Break down the, strong seats even of the demons: cleansing thee, Indu, robe thyself in vigour. Rend with thy swift bolt, coming from above them, those who are near and those who yet are distant.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
स प्रत्नवन् नव्यसे विश्ववार सूक्ताय पथः कृणुहि प्राचः । ये दुःषहासो वनुषा बृहन्तस् तांस् ते अश्याम पुरुकृत् पुरुक्षो ॥
sa pratnavan navyase viśvavāra sūktāya pathaḥ kṛṇuhi prācaḥ | ye duḥṣahāso vanuṣā bṛhantas tāṃs te aśyāma purukṛt purukṣo ||
Prepare the forward paths in ancient manner for the new hymn, thou Giver of all bounties. Those which are high and hard for foes to conquer may we gain from thee, Active! Food-bestower!
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
एवा पुनानो अपः स्वर् गा अस्मभ्यं तोका तनयानि भूरि । शं नः क्षेत्रम् उरु ज्योतींषि सोम ज्योङ् नः सूर्यं दृशये रिरीहि ॥
evā punāno apaḥ svar gā asmabhyaṃ tokā tanayāni bhūri | śaṃ naḥ kṣetram uru jyotīṃṣi soma jyoṅ naḥ sūryaṃ dṛśaye rirīhi ||
So purifying thee vouchsafe us waters, heaven's light, and cows, offspring and many children. Give us health, ample land, and lights, O Soma, and grant us long to look upon the sunshine.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
