RV 1 145.1

तम् पृच्छता स जगामा स वेद स चिकित्वाꣳ ईयते सा न्व् ईयते । तस्मिन् सन्ति प्रशिषस् तस्मिन्न् इष्टयः स वाजस्य शवसः शुष्मिणस् पतिः

tam pṛcchatā sa jagāmā sa veda sa cikitvām̐ īyate sā nv īyate | tasmin santi praśiṣas tasminn iṣṭayaḥ sa vājasya śavasaḥ śuṣmiṇas patiḥ

Ask him: he has gone, he knows; knowing, he moves — indeed he is approached. In him are the directions, in him the sacrificial quests; he is lord of prize, of might, of the impetuous force.

Ask ye of him for he is come, he knoweth it; he, full of wisdom, is implored, is now implored. With him are admonitions and with him commands: he is the Lord of Strength, the Lord of Power and Might.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)

RV 1 145.2

तम् इत् पृच्छन्ति न सिमो वि पृच्छति स्वेनेव धीरो मनसा यद् अग्रभीत् । न मृष्यते प्रथमꣳ नापरꣳ वचो ऽस्य क्रत्वा सचते अप्रदृपितः

tam it pṛcchanti na simo vi pṛcchati sveneva dhīro manasā yad agrabhīt | na mṛṣyate prathamaṁ nāparaṁ vaco 'sya kratvā sacate apradṛpitaḥ

Him indeed they ask; he himself does not ask about (anything), since, wise, he has grasped (it) with his own mind. He does not forget the first word nor the later; unbewildered, he acts in accord with his own resolve.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

They ask of him: not all learn by their questioning what he, the Sage, hath grasped, as 'twere, with his own mind. Forgetting not the former nor the later word, he goeth on, not careless, in his mental power.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)

RV 1 145.3

तम् इद् गच्छन्ति जुह्व१स् तम् अर्वतीर् विश्वान्य् एकः शृणवद् वचाꣳसि मे । पुरुप्रैषस् ततुरिर् यज्ञसाधनो ऽच्छिद्रोतिः शिशुर् आदत्त सꣳ रभः

tam id gacchanti juhva1s tam arvatīr viśvāny ekaḥ śṛṇavad vacāṁsi me | purupraiṣas taturir yajñasādhano 'cchidrotiḥ śiśur ādatta saṁ rabhaḥ

To him go the ladles, to him the swift mares; may he alone hear all my words — he of many impulses, victorious, accomplishing the sacrifice, of unbroken aid: the child has taken hold of vigour.

RV 1 145.4

उपस्थायꣳ चरति यत् समारत सद्यो जातस् तत्सार युज्येभिः । अभि श्वान्तम् मृशते नान्द्ये मुदे यद् ईꣳ गच्छन्त्य् उशतीर् अपिष्ठितम्

upasthāyaṁ carati yat samārata sadyo jātas tatsāra yujyebhiḥ | abhi śvāntam mṛśate nāndye mude yad īṁ gacchanty uśatīr apiṣṭhitam

He moves in attendance when they have come together; born the same day, he crept along with his allies. He touches the swelling one for pleasing delight, when the eager ones come to him as he stands hidden.
