RV 5 34.1

अजातशत्रुम् अजरा स्वर्वत्य् अनु स्वधामिता दस्मम् ईयते । सुनोतन पचत ब्रह्मवाहसे पुरुष्टुताय प्रतरꣳ दधातन

ajātaśatrum ajarā svarvaty anu svadhāmitā dasmam īyate | sunotana pacata brahmavāhase puruṣṭutāya prataraṁ dadhātana

The unaging, sun-bringing (draught), measured out according to (his) own nature, goes to the wondrous one whose rival is unborn. Press, cook for him who is drawn by prayer; for the much-praised one set out (the offering) further.

BOUNDLESS and wasting not, the heavenly food of Gods goes to the foeless One, doer of wondrous deeds. Press out, make ready, offer gifts with special zeal to him whom many laud, accepter of the prayer.

RV 5 34.3

यो अस्मै घ्रꣳस उत वा य ऊधनि सोमꣳ सुनोति भवति द्युमाꣳ अह । अपाप शक्रस् ततनुष्टिम् ऊहति तनूशुभ्रम् मघवा यः कवासखः

yo asmai ghraṁsa uta vā ya ūdhani somaṁ sunoti bhavati dyumām̐ aha | apāpa śakras tatanuṣṭim ūhati tanūśubhram maghavā yaḥ kavāsakhaḥ

Whoever presses soma for him in the heat or in the (season of) the udder, he becomes splendid indeed. Śakra shoves far away the outstretched (attack); the bountiful one (drives off) the body-glittering man who keeps company with the niggard.

RV 5 34.4

यस्यावधीत् पितरꣳ यस्य मातरꣳ यस्य शक्रो भ्रातरꣳ नात ईषते । वेतीद् व् अस्य प्रयता यतꣳकरो न किल्बिषाद् ईषते वस्व आकरः

yasyāvadhīt pitaraṁ yasya mātaraṁ yasya śakro bhrātaraṁ nāta īṣate | vetīd v asya prayatā yataṁkaro na kilbiṣād īṣate vasva ākaraḥ

Whose father Śakra has slain, whose mother, whose brother — he does not shrink away from him; he indeed pursues that man's offerings, the one who sets things right; he does not shrink from the offence, the bringer of goods.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

The Strong God doth not flee away from him whose sire, whose mother or whose brother he hath done to death. He, the Avenger, seeketh this man's offered gifts: this God, the source of riches, doth not flee from sin.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)

RV 5 34.5

न पञ्चभिर् दशभिर् वष्ट्य् आरभꣳ नासुन्वता सचते पुष्यता चन । जिनाति वेद् अमुया हन्ति वा धुनिर् आ देवयुम् भजति गोमति व्रजे

na pañcabhir daśabhir vaṣṭy ārabhaṁ nāsunvatā sacate puṣyatā cana | jināti ved amuyā hanti vā dhunir ā devayum bhajati gomati vraje

He does not wish to be seized by five or by ten; he does not attach himself to the non-presser, not even to a prospering one. Either he overcomes him so, or he slays him, the roarer; he gives the god-loving man a share in a cow-filled pen.

AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition — the model flagged this verse as uncertain

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

He seeks no enterprise with five or ten to aid, nor stays with him who pours no juice though prospering well. The Shaker conquers or slays in this way or that, and to the pious gives a stable full of kine.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)

RV 5 34.6

Cutting through in the encounter, fastening on the wheel, turned away from the non-presser, the strengthener of the presser: Indra, tamer of all, the terrifying, the Ārya, leads the Dāsa as he wills.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Exceeding strong in war he stays the chariot wheel, and, hating him who pours not, prospers him who pours. Indra the terrible, tamer of every man, as Ârya leads away the Dâsa at his will.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)

RV 5 34.7

सम् ईम् पणेर् अजति भोजनम् मुषे वि दाशुषे भजति सूनरꣳ वसु । दुर्गे चन ध्रियते विश्व आ पुरु जनो यो अस्य तविषीम् अचुक्रुधत्

sam īm paṇer ajati bhojanam muṣe vi dāśuṣe bhajati sūnaraṁ vasu | durge cana dhriyate viśva ā puru jano yo asya taviṣīm acukrudhat

When the two wealthy peoples, each with all their host, (came together), then Indra the bountiful was found among the gleaming cows; for quivering (with force) he made the one his ally, and the roarer, with his warriors, releases the cattle-spoil.

When Indra Maghavan hath marked two wealthy men fighting for beauteous cows with all their followers, He who stirs all things takes one as his close ally, and, Shaker, with his Heroes, sends the kine to him.

RV 5 34.9

सहस्रसाम् आग्निवेशिꣳ गृणीषे शत्रिम् अग्न उपमाꣳ केतुम् अर्यः । तस्मा आपः सꣳयतः पीपयन्त तस्मिन् क्षत्रम् अमवत् त्वेषम् अस्तु
