Rigveda Samhita — Mandala 9 — Chapter 111

RV 9 111.1

अया रुचा हरिण्या पुनानो विश्वा द्वेषाꣳसि तरति स्वयुग्वभिः सूरो न स्वयुग्वभिः । धारा सुतस्य रोचते पुनानो अरुषो हरिः । विश्वा यद् रूपा परियात्य् ऋक्वभिः सप्तास्येभिर् ऋक्वभिः

ayā rucā hariṇyā punāno viśvā dveṣāṁsi tarati svayugvabhiḥ sūro na svayugvabhiḥ | dhārā sutasya rocate punāno aruṣo hariḥ | viśvā yad rūpā pariyāty ṛkvabhiḥ saptāsyebhir ṛkvabhiḥ

Being purified by this golden sheen, he crosses over all hostilities with his own yoke-mates, like the sun with his own yoke-mates. Purified in a stream (of the soma) pressed out, the ruddy tawny one shines, when he goes around all forms with the chanters, with the seven-mouthed chanters.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

WITH this his golden splendour purifying him, he with his own allies subdues all enemies, as Ṣarawith his own allies. Cleansing himself with stream of juice he shines forth yellow-hued and red, when with the praisers he encompasses all forms, with praisers having seven mouths.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)

RV 9 111.2

त्वꣳ त्यत् पणीनाꣳ विदो वसु सम् मातृभिर् मर्जयसि स्व आ दम ऋतस्य धीतिभिर् दमे । परावतो न साम तद् यत्रा रणन्ति धीतयः । त्रिधातुभिर् अरुषीभिर् वयो दधे रोचमानो वयो दधे

tvaṁ tyat paṇīnāṁ vido vasu sam mātṛbhir marjayasi sva ā dama ṛtasya dhītibhir dame | parāvato na sāma tad yatrā raṇanti dhītayaḥ | tridhātubhir aruṣībhir vayo dadhe rocamāno vayo dadhe

You found that wealth of the Paṇis; with the mothers you are groomed clean in your own house, in the house, by the thoughts of ṛta. That is like a melody from afar, where the thoughts take delight. With the three-fold ruddy ones he has gained vigour; shining, he has gained vigour.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

That treasure of the Paṇis thou discoveredst; thou with thy mothers deckest thee in thine abode, with songs of worship in thine home. As 'twere from far, the hymn is heard, where holy songs resound in joy. He with the ruddy-hued, threefold hath won life-power, he, glittering, hath won life-power.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)

RV 9 111.3

पूर्वाम् अनु प्रदिशꣳ याति चेकितत् सꣳ रश्मिभिर् यतते दर्शतो रथो दैव्यो दर्शतो रथः । अग्मन्न् उक्थानि पौꣳस्येन्द्रꣳ जैत्राय हर्षयन् । वज्रश् च यद् भवथो अनपच्युता समत्स्व् अनपच्युता

pūrvām anu pradiśaṁ yāti cekitat saṁ raśmibhir yatate darśato ratho daivyo darśato rathaḥ | agmann ukthāni pauṁsyendraṁ jaitrāya harṣayan | vajraś ca yad bhavatho anapacyutā samatsv anapacyutā

He goes along the eastern direction, conspicuous; the chariot, fair to see, lines itself up with its rays — the divine chariot, fair to see. The hymns and manly deeds have gone to Indra, rousing him for victory; and when you two become thunderbolt (and bearer), unshakeable — unshakeable in battles.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

He moves intelligent, directed to the East. The very beauteous car rivals the beams of light, the beautiful celestial car. Hymns, lauding manly valour, came, inciting Indra to success, that ye may be unconquered, both thy bolt and thou, both be unconquered in the war.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1896)
