Rigveda Samhita — Mandala 8 — Chapter 58

RV 8 58.1

यम् ऋत्विजो बहुधा कल्पयन्तः सचेतसो यज्ञम् इमꣳ वहन्ति । यो अनूचानो ब्राह्मणो युक्त आसीत् का स्वित् तत्र यजमानस्य सꣳवित्

yam ṛtvijo bahudhā kalpayantaḥ sacetaso yajñam imaṁ vahanti | yo anūcāno brāhmaṇo yukta āsīt kā svit tatra yajamānasya saṁvit

This sacrifice, which the ṛtvijas, arranging it in many ways, of one mind, convey—he who was the brāhmaṇa, versed in recitation, appointed (to it): what then is the sacrificer's knowledge there?

HE whom the priests in sundry ways arranging the sacrifice, of one accord, bring hither, Who was appointed as a learned Brahman, -what is the sacrificer's knowledge of him?

RV 8 58.2

एक एवाग्निर् बहुधा समिद्ध एकः सूर्यो विश्वम् अनु प्रभूतः । एकैवोषाः सर्वम् इदꣳ वि भात्य् एकꣳ वा इदꣳ वि बभूव सर्वम्

eka evāgnir bahudhā samiddha ekaḥ sūryo viśvam anu prabhūtaḥ | ekaivoṣāḥ sarvam idaṁ vi bhāty ekaṁ vā idaṁ vi babhūva sarvam

Agni is but one, though kindled in many places; the sun is one, dominating over all; the dawn alone shines out over all this; the One indeed has become all this.

AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Kindled in many a spot, still One is Agni; Sûrya is One though high o'er all he shineth. Illumining this All, still One is Ushas. That which is One hath into All developed.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)

RV 8 58.3

ज्योतिष्मन्तꣳ केतुमन्तꣳ त्रिचक्रꣳ सुखꣳ रथꣳ सुषदम् भूरिवारम् । चित्रामघा यस्य योगे ऽधिजज्ञे तꣳ वाꣳ हुवे अति रिक्तम् पिबध्यै

jyotiṣmantaṁ ketumantaṁ tricakraṁ sukhaṁ rathaṁ suṣadam bhūrivāram | citrāmaghā yasya yoge 'dhijajñe taṁ vāṁ huve ati riktam pibadhyai

Full of light, bearing a banner, three-wheeled, easy-running, good to sit in, of many choice goods—the chariot at whose yoking the (constellation of) bright-gifts was born above: that (chariot) of you two I call, for (you) to drink what is left over.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

The chariot bright and radiant, treasure-laden, three-wheeled, with easy seat, and lightly rolling, Which She of Wondrous Wealth was born to harness,– this car of yours I call. Drink what remaineth.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)
