RV 1 134.1
आ त्वा जुवो रारहाणा अभि प्रयो वायो वहन्त्व् इह पूर्वपीतये सोमस्य पूर्वपीतये । ऊर्ध्वा ते अनु सूनृता मनस् तिष्ठतु जानती । नियुत्वता रथेना याहि दावने वायो मखस्य दावने
ā tvā juvo rārahāṇā abhi prayo vāyo vahantv iha pūrvapītaye somasya pūrvapītaye | ūrdhvā te anu sūnṛtā manas tiṣṭhatu jānatī | niyutvatā rathenā yāhi dāvane vāyo makhasya dāvane
Let the swift (teams), hastening, bring you here to the offering, Vāyu, for the first drink, for the first drink of soma. Let your generosity, upright and knowing, stand by your mind. Come with your niyut-yoked chariot for giving, Vāyu, for the giving of the offering-gift.

Vâyu, let fleet-foot coursers bring thee speedily to this our feast, to drink first of the juice we pour, to the first draught of Soma juice. May our glad hymn, discerning well, uplifted, gratify thy mind. Come with thy team-drawn car, O Vâyu, to the gift, come to the sacrificer's gift.

मन्दन्तु त्वा मन्दिनो वायव् इन्दवो ऽस्मत् क्राणासः सुकृता अभिद्यवो गोभिः क्राणा अभिद्यवः । यद् ध क्राणा इरध्यै दक्षꣳ सचन्त ऊतयः । सध्रीचीना नियुतो दावने धिय उप ब्रुवत ईꣳ धियः

Let the gladdening drops gladden you, Vāyu, made ready by us, well prepared, reaching to heaven, prepared with milk, reaching to heaven. When indeed the aids, made ready, accompany the skill for attainment, the niyuts, concurrent, are for the giving; the prayers do address him, the prayers.

May the joy-giving drops, O Vâyu gladden thee, effectual, well prepared, directed to the heavens, strong, blent with milk and seeking heaven; That aids, effectual to fulfil, may wait upon our skilful power. Associate teams come hitherward to grant our prayers . they shall address the hymns we sing.

वायुर् युङ्क्ते रोहिता वायुर् अरुणा वायू रथे अजिरा धुरि वोऴ्हवे वहिष्ठा धुरि वोऴ्हवे । प्र बोधया पुरꣳधिꣳ जार आ ससतीम् इव । प्र चक्षय रोदसी वासयोषसः श्रवसे वासयोषसः

Vāyu yokes the two ruddy ones, Vāyu the two reddish ones, Vāyu the two nimble ones to the chariot, at the pole to draw, the best drawers at the pole to draw. Awaken Puraṁdhi, as a lover a sleeping woman. Light up the two worlds, make the dawns shine, for glory make the dawns shine.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith
Two red steeds Vâyu yokes, Vâyu two purple steeds, swift-footed, to the chariot, to the pole to draw, most able, at the pole, to draw. Wake up intelligence, as when a lover wakes his sleeping love. Illumine heaven and earth, make thou the Dawns to shine, for glory make the Dawns to shine.

तुभ्यम् उषासः शुचयः परावति भद्रा वस्त्रा तन्वते दꣳसु रश्मिषु चित्रा नव्येषु रश्मिषु । तुभ्यꣳ धेनुः सबर्दुघा विश्वा वसूनि दोहते । अजनयो मरुतो वक्षणाभ्यो दिव आ वक्षणाभ्यः

For you the bright dawns in the distance stretch out their auspicious garments upon their wondrous rays, bright upon their new rays. For you the cow with ever-flowing milk yields all goods. You engendered the Maruts from the wombs, from the wombs of heaven.

For thee the radiant Dawns in the fardistant sky broaden their lovely gannents forth in wondrous beams, bright-coloured in their new-born beams. For thee the nectar-yielding Cow pours all rich treasures forth as milk. The Marut host hast thou engendered from the womb, the Maruts from the womb of heaven.

तुभ्यꣳ शुक्रासः शुचयस् तुरण्यवो मदेषूग्रा इषणन्त भुर्वण्य् अपाम् इषन्त भुर्वणि । त्वाꣳ त्सारी दसमानो भगम् ईट्टे तक्ववीये । त्वꣳ विश्वस्माद् भुवनात् पासि धर्मणासुर्यात् पासि धर्मणा
tubhyaṁ śukrāsaḥ śucayas turaṇyavo madeṣūgrā iṣaṇanta bhurvaṇy apām iṣanta bhurvaṇi | tvāṁ tsārī dasamāno bhagam īṭṭe takvavīye | tvaṁ viśvasmād bhuvanāt pāsi dharmaṇāsuryāt pāsi dharmaṇā
For thee the bright, pure, speeding ones, fierce in their raptures, have pressed forward in the surging (waters), have pressed on in the surge of the waters. Thee the stalking (hunter), toiling in the chase of swift game, implores for a portion. Thou guardest by (thy) ordinance against every being, guardest by (thy) ordinance against the asura('s) might.

For thee the pure bright quickly-flowing Soma-drops, strong in their heightening power, hasten to mixthemselves, hasten to the water to be mixed. To thee the weary coward prays for luck that he may speed away. Thou by thy law protectest us from every world, yea, from the world of highest Gods.

RV 1 134.6
त्वꣳ नो वायव् एषाम् अपूर्व्यः सोमानाम् प्रथमः पीतिम् अर्हसि सुतानाम् पीतिम् अर्हसि । उतो विहुत्मतीनाꣳ विशाꣳ ववर्जुषीणाम् । विश्वा इत् ते धेनवो दुह्र आशिरꣳ घृतꣳ दुह्रत आशिरम्
tvaṁ no vāyav eṣām apūrvyaḥ somānām prathamaḥ pītim arhasi sutānām pītim arhasi | uto vihutmatīnāṁ viśāṁ vavarjuṣīṇām | viśvā it te dhenavo duhra āśiraṁ ghṛtaṁ duhrata āśiram
Thou, O Vāyu, without a precedent, art worthy of the first drink of these somas, worthy of the drink of the pressed ones; and (worthy of the drink) of the clans that have oblations poured out, that have turned (hither). Indeed all thy milch-cows yield the milk-mixture, they yield ghee, the milk-mixture.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith
Thou, Vâyu, who hast none before thee, first of all hast right to drink these offerings of Soma juice, hast right to drink the juice out-poured, Yea, poured by all invoking tribes who free themselves from taint of sin, For thee all cows are milked to yield the Soma-milk, to yield the butter and the milk.
— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)
