Rigveda Samhita — Mandala 6 — Chapter 66

RV 6 66.1

वपुर् नु तच् चिकितुषे चिद् अस्तु समानꣳ नाम धेनु पत्यमानम् । मर्तेष्व् अन्यद् दोहसे पीपाय सकृच् छुक्रꣳ दुदुहे पृश्निर् ऊधः

vapur nu tac cikituṣe cid astu samānaṁ nāma dhenu patyamānam | marteṣv anyad dohase pīpāya sakṛc chukraṁ duduhe pṛśnir ūdhaḥ

Let that be a wonder even for one who understands: a common name that a milch cow bears. Among mortals the one has swelled for the milking; once has Pṛśni milked out her bright udder.

They who are the sons of Rudra the bounteous, and whom she was able to carry — for the mother knows (them), she the great one (knows) the great; she indeed, Pṛśni, laid the embryo for the strong one.

RV 6 66.5

मक्षू न येषु दोहसे चिद् अया आ नाम धृष्णु मारुतꣳ दधानाः । न ये स्तौना अयासो मह्ना नू चित् सुदानुर् अव यासद् उग्रान्

makṣū na yeṣu dohase cid ayā ā nāma dhṛṣṇu mārutaṁ dadhānāḥ | na ye staunā ayāso mahnā nū cit sudānur ava yāsad ugrān

Among whom (it is) quickly, as it were, even for the milking, in this way, taking upon themselves the bold Marut name; they who are not boastful, unwearying in greatness — never shall even a generous man bring the terrible ones down.

They indeed, terrible in might, with a bold host, yoked both well-established worlds; then among them, the impetuous ones, self-shining Rodasī stood like a light.

अनेनो वो मरुतो यामो अस्त्व् अनश्वश् चिद् यम् अजत्य् अरथीः । अनवसो अनभीशू रजस्तूर् वि रोदसी पथ्या याति साधन्

aneno vo maruto yāmo astv anaśvaś cid yam ajaty arathīḥ | anavaso anabhīśū rajastūr vi rodasī pathyā yāti sādhan

Without a cart let your journey be, O Maruts—that (course) which he drives even without horses, without a charioteer, without provisions, without reins; speeding through the mid-space it goes apart over the two worlds, making the paths straight.

नास्य वर्ता न तरुता न्व् अस्ति मरुतो यम् अवथ वाजसातौ । तोके वा गोषु तनये यम् अप्सु स व्रजꣳ दर्ता पार्ये अध द्योः

nāsya vartā na tarutā nv asti maruto yam avatha vājasātau | toke vā goṣu tanaye yam apsu sa vrajaṁ dartā pārye adha dyoḥ

Of him there is no one who turns (him) back, nor one who overcomes (him), O Maruts, whom you help in the winning of the prize; whomever (you help) in offspring or in cattle, in progeny, in the waters—he is the one who will split open the cow-pen at the decisive turning of the day.

Bring forth a brilliant chant for the swift Marut troop, self-strong, for the singer—(those) who overpower powers by power; the earth trembles, O Agni, before the boisterous ones.

Vehement, like the lightning-flash of the rite, moving with quick lunges, like the tongues of Agni, singers, roarers like heroes, of blazing birth—the Maruts, unassailable.

taṁ vṛdhantam mārutam bhrājadṛṣṭiṁ rudrasya sūnuṁ havasā vivāse | divaḥ śardhāya śucayo manīṣā girayo nāpa ugrā aspṛdhran

Him, the growing Marut host with blazing spear, the son of Rudra, I invite with my oblation; for the troop of heaven the bright ones (came) with thought—like mountains the mighty waters have contended.
