Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·9·9.99
आ हर्यताय धृष्णवे धनुस् तन्वन्ति पौंस्यम् । शुक्रां वयन्त्य् असुराय निर्णिजं विपाम् अग्रे महीयुवः ॥
ā haryatāya dhṛṣṇave dhanus tanvanti pauṃsyam | śukrāṃ vayanty asurāya nirṇijaṃ vipām agre mahīyuvaḥ ||
They for the Bold and Lovely One ply manly vigour like a bow: joyous, in front of songs they weave bright raiment for the Lord Divine.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अध क्षपा परिष्कृतो वाजां अभि प्र गाहते । यदी विवस्वतो धियो हरिं हिन्वन्ति यातवे ॥
adha kṣapā pariṣkṛto vājāṃ abhi pra gāhate | yadī vivasvato dhiyo hariṃ hinvanti yātave ||
And he, made beautiful by night, dips forward into strengthening food', What time the sacrificer's thoughts speed on his way the Golden-hued.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तम् अस्य मर्जयामसि मदो य इन्द्रपातमः । यं गाव आसभिर् दधुः पुरा नूनं च सूरयः ॥
tam asya marjayāmasi mado ya indrapātamaḥ | yaṃ gāva āsabhir dadhuḥ purā nūnaṃ ca sūrayaḥ ||
We cleanse this gladdening drink of his the juice which Indra chiefly drinks--- That which kine took into their mouths, of old, and princes take it now.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तं गाथया पुराण्या पुनानम् अभ्य् अनूषत । उतो कृपन्त धीतयो देवानां नाम बिभ्रतीः ॥
taṃ gāthayā purāṇyā punānam abhy anūṣata | uto kṛpanta dhītayo devānāṃ nāma bibhratīḥ ||
To him, while purifying, they have raised the ancient psalm of praise: And sacred songs which bear the names of Gods have supplicated him.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
तम् उक्षमाणम् अव्यये वारे पुनन्ति धर्णसिम् । दूतं न पूर्वचित्तय आ शासते मनीषिणः ॥
tam ukṣamāṇam avyaye vāre punanti dharṇasim | dūtaṃ na pūrvacittaya ā śāsate manīṣiṇaḥ ||
They purify him as he drops, courageous, in the fleecy sieve. Him they instruct as messenger to bear the sage's morning prayer.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
स पुनानो मदिन्तमः सोमश् चमूषु सीदति । पशौ न रेत आदधत् पतिर् वचस्यते धियः ॥
sa punāno madintamaḥ somaś camūṣu sīdati | paśau na reta ādadhat patir vacasyate dhiyaḥ ||
Soma, best Cheerer, takes his seat, the while they cleanse him in the bowls. He as it were impregns the cow, and babbles on, the Lord of Song.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
स मृज्यते सुकर्मभिर् देवो देवेभ्यः सुतः । विदे यद् आसु संददिर् महीर् अपो वि गाहते ॥
sa mṛjyate sukarmabhir devo devebhyaḥ sutaḥ | vide yad āsu saṃdadir mahīr apo vi gāhate ||
He is effused and beautified, a God for Gods, by skillful men. He penetrates the mighty floods collecting all he knows therein.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सुत इन्दो पवित्र आ नृभिर् यतो वि नीयसे । इन्द्राय मत्सरिन्तमश् चमूष्व् आ नि षीदसि ॥
suta indo pavitra ā nṛbhir yato vi nīyase | indrāya matsarintamaś camūṣv ā ni ṣīdasi ||
Pressed, Indu, guided by the men, thou art led to the cleaning sieve. Thou, yielding Indra highest joy, takest thy seat within the bowls.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
