Rigveda Samhita — Mandala 1 — Chapter 156

RV 1 156.1

भवा मित्रो न शेव्यो घृतासुतिर् विभूतद्युम्न एवया उ सप्रथाः । अधा ते विष्णो विदुषा चिद् अर्ध्यः स्तोमो यज्ञश् च राध्यो हविष्मता

bhavā mitro na śevyo ghṛtāsutir vibhūtadyumna evayā u saprathāḥ | adhā te viṣṇo viduṣā cid ardhyaḥ stomo yajñaś ca rādhyo haviṣmatā

Be kindly like Mitra, drawing ghee as your draught, of abundant splendour, swift-going and wide-extending; and then, Viṣṇu, your praise is to be perfected even by one who knows, and the sacrifice accomplished by the one with the oblation.

Him, the ancient one, O praisers, fill up as you know him, the embryo of ṛta, by his birth; speak out even the name of him here, knowing it. We share in the favour of you, the great one, O Viṣṇu.

तम् अस्य राजा वरुणस् तम् अश्विना क्रतुꣳ सचन्त मारुतस्य वेधसः । दाधार दक्षम् उत्तमम् अहर्विदꣳ व्रजꣳ च विष्णुः सखिवाꣳ अपोर्णुते

tam asya rājā varuṇas tam aśvinā kratuṁ sacanta mārutasya vedhasaḥ | dādhāra dakṣam uttamam aharvidaṁ vrajaṁ ca viṣṇuḥ sakhivām̐ aporṇute

That resolve of his—of the ordainer belonging to the Maruts—king Varuṇa attended upon it, and the Aśvins attended it; Viṣṇu has upheld the highest skill that knows the day, and, having companions, he uncovers the cow-pen.

आ यो विवाय सचथाय दैव्य इन्द्राय विष्णुः सुकृते सुकृत्तरः । वेधा अजिन्वत् त्रिषधस्थ आर्यम् ऋतस्य भागे यजमानम् आभजत्

ā yo vivāya sacathāya daivya indrāya viṣṇuḥ sukṛte sukṛttaraḥ | vedhā ajinvat triṣadhastha āryam ṛtasya bhāge yajamānam ābhajat

Viṣṇu, the divine one, who came for companionship with Indra, the doer of good, being a better doer of good—the ordainer dwelling in three seats quickened the Ārya, (and) gave the sacrificer a share in ṛta.
