RV 10 31.1

आ नो देवानाम् उप वेतु शꣳसो विश्वेभिस् तुरैर् अवसे यजत्रः । तेभिर् वयꣳ सुषखायो भवेम तरन्तो विश्वा दुरिता स्याम

ā no devānām upa vetu śaṁso viśvebhis turair avase yajatraḥ | tebhir vayaṁ suṣakhāyo bhavema taranto viśvā duritā syāma

Let the good word of the gods come near to us — the one worthy of worship, with all the swift ones, for help. With them may we be well provided with friends; may we be crossing over all difficulties.

RV 10 31.2

परि चिन् मर्तो द्रविणम् ममन्याद् ऋतस्य पथा नमसा विवासेत् । उत स्वेन क्रतुना सꣳ वदेत श्रेयाꣳसꣳ दक्षम् मनसा जगृभ्यात्

pari cin marto draviṇam mamanyād ṛtasya pathā namasā vivāset | uta svena kratunā saṁ vadeta śreyāṁsaṁ dakṣam manasā jagṛbhyāt

Even if a mortal should set his mind on wealth, let him seek to win it by the path of ṛta, with homage; and let him take counsel with his own resolve; let him grasp with his mind the better skill.

RV 10 31.3

अधायि धीतिर् अससृग्रम् अꣳशास् तीर्थे न दस्मम् उप यन्त्य् ऊमाः । अभ्य् आनश्म सुवितस्य शूषꣳ नवेदसो अमृतानाम् अभूम

adhāyi dhītir asasṛgram aṁśās tīrthe na dasmam upa yanty ūmāḥ | abhy ānaśma suvitasya śūṣaṁ navedaso amṛtānām abhūma

The thought has been set down, the portions have been poured forth; like helpers at a ford they go up to the wondrous one. We have reached the strength of good passage; we have become aware of the immortals.

May the constant one take pleasure — a good lord of the house, dwelling at home — he for whom the god Savitṛ has begotten (it); or let Bhaga, let Aryaman anoint him with cows: let him appear pleasing to him, and let him be so.

May this (land) become greater, like the earth of the dawns, where indeed those rich in cattle came together with might. Begging for the praise-song of this singer — let effective prizes come to us.

This favour of his, spreading wide, became the ancient cow by its abundance; his kindred ones, in the womb of the asura, bear themselves in the common bearing.

किꣳ स्विद् वनꣳ क उ स वृक्ष आस यतो द्यावापृथिवी निष्टतक्षुः । सꣳतस्थाने अजरे इतऊती अहानि पूर्वीर् उषसो जरन्त

What then was the wood, and who was that tree, out of which they carved heaven and earth? The two stand fast, unaging, helping from here, while many days and dawns have grown old.

RV 10 31.8

नैतावद् एना परो अन्यद् अस्त्य् उक्षा स द्यावापृथिवी बिभर्ति । त्वचम् पवित्रꣳ कृणुत स्वधावान् यद् ईꣳ सूर्यꣳ न हरितो वहन्ति

naitāvad enā paro anyad asty ukṣā sa dyāvāpṛthivī bibharti | tvacam pavitraṁ kṛṇuta svadhāvān yad īṁ sūryaṁ na harito vahanti

There is nothing else beyond these two here: that bull bears heaven and earth. He, having his own power, makes his hide a filter, when the tawny mares carry him as they carry the sun.

RV 10 31.9

स्तेगो न क्षाम् अत्य् एति पृथ्वीम् मिहꣳ न वातो वि ह वाति भूम । मित्रो यत्र वरुणो अज्यमानो ऽग्निर् वने न व्य् असृष्ट शोकम्

stego na kṣām aty eti pṛthvīm mihaṁ na vāto vi ha vāti bhūma | mitro yatra varuṇo ajyamāno 'gnir vane na vy asṛṣṭa śokam

Like a stego it goes across the broad earth; as the wind (scatters) mist, it blows over the ground — there where Mitra, and Varuṇa being anointed, and Agni, as in wood, have let loose their blaze.

RV 10 31.10

स्तरीर् यत् सूत सद्यो अज्यमाना व्यथिर् अव्यथीः कृणुत स्वगोपा । पुत्रो यत् पूर्वः पित्रोर् जनिष्ट शम्याꣳ गौर् जगार यद् ध पृच्छान्

starīr yat sūta sadyo ajyamānā vyathir avyathīḥ kṛṇuta svagopā | putro yat pūrvaḥ pitror janiṣṭa śamyāṁ gaur jagāra yad dha pṛcchān

When the barren cow, being anointed, gave birth at once, she, her own guardian, unwavering, made the wavering (steady). When the son was born before his two parents, and the cow swallowed the peg — should they ask about it?

RV 10 31.11

उत कण्वꣳ नृषदः पुत्रम् आहुर् उत श्यावो धनम् आदत्त वाजी । प्र कृष्णाय रुशद् अपिन्वतोधर् ऋतम् अत्र नकिर् अस्मा अपीपेत्

uta kaṇvaṁ nṛṣadaḥ putram āhur uta śyāvo dhanam ādatta vājī | pra kṛṣṇāya ruśad apinvatodhar ṛtam atra nakir asmā apīpet

And they call Kaṇva the son of Nṛṣad; and the dark prize-steed took the stake. He made the bright udder swell for the black (cow); here no one made ṛta swell for him.
