Rigveda Samhita — Mandala 9 — Chapter 71

RV 9 71.1

आ दक्षिणा सृज्यते शुष्म्य् आ३सदꣳ वेति द्रुहो रक्षसः पाति जागृविः । हरिर् ओपशꣳ कृणुते नभस् पय उपस्तिरे चम्वो३र् ब्रह्म निर्णिजे

ā dakṣiṇā sṛjyate śuṣmy ā3sadaṁ veti druho rakṣasaḥ pāti jāgṛviḥ | harir opaśaṁ kṛṇute nabhas paya upastire camvo3r brahma nirṇije

The impetuous priestly gift is released to take its seat; he pursues (and) keeps watch against the deceit of the Rakṣas, he guards. The tawny one makes for himself a headdress: milk from the cloud for a spread in the two cups, the formulation for his adornment.

RV 9 71.2

प्र कृष्टिहेव शूष एति रोरुवद् असुर्य१ꣳ वर्णꣳ नि रिणीते अस्य तम् । जहाति वव्रिम् पितुर् एति निष्कृतम् उपप्रुतꣳ कृणुते निर्णिजꣳ तना

pra kṛṣṭiheva śūṣa eti roruvad asurya1ṁ varṇaṁ ni riṇīte asya tam | jahāti vavrim pitur eti niṣkṛtam upaprutaṁ kṛṇute nirṇijaṁ tanā

He goes forth roaring, forceful like a slayer of peoples; he lays aside that asuric colour of his. He abandons the husk, he goes to the father's meeting-place; continuously he makes his garment a floating one.

RV 9 71.3

अद्रिभिः सुतः पवते गभस्त्योर् वृषायते नभसा वेपते मती । स मोदते नसते साधते गिरा नेनिक्ते अप्सु यजते परीमणि

adribhiḥ sutaḥ pavate gabhastyor vṛṣāyate nabhasā vepate matī | sa modate nasate sādhate girā nenikte apsu yajate parīmaṇi

Pressed by the stones he purifies himself in the two hands; he plays the bull with the cloud, he quivers under the hymn. He rejoices, he draws near, he succeeds through the song; he is washed in the waters, he is worshipped in the full expanse.

RV 9 71.4

परि द्युक्षꣳ सहसः पर्वतावृधम् मध्वः सिञ्चन्ति हर्म्यस्य सक्षणिम् । आ यस्मिन् गावः सुहुताद ऊधनि मूर्धञ् छ्रीणन्त्य् अग्रियꣳ वरीमभिः

pari dyukṣaṁ sahasaḥ parvatāvṛdham madhvaḥ siñcanti harmyasya sakṣaṇim | ā yasmin gāvaḥ suhutāda ūdhani mūrdhañ chrīṇanty agriyaṁ varīmabhiḥ

They pour the honey round about the heaven-dwelling one, grown on the mountain, the overpowerer of the house (born) of strength — (him) in whose udder, at whose head, the cows that eat the well-offered mix the foremost (draught) with their breadths.

सम् ई रथꣳ न भुरिजोर् अहेषत दश स्वसारो अदितेर् उपस्थ आ । जिगाद् उप ज्रयति गोर् अपीच्यम् पदꣳ यद् अस्य मतुथा अजीजनन्

sam ī rathaṁ na bhurijor aheṣata daśa svasāro aditer upastha ā | jigād upa jrayati gor apīcyam padaṁ yad asya matuthā ajījanan

The ten sisters have urged him on together, like a chariot between the two arms, in Aditi's lap. He goes, he presses on toward the hidden track of the cow, when his thinkers have brought it to birth.

RV 9 71.6

श्येनो न योनिꣳ सदनꣳ धिया कृतꣳ हिरण्ययम् आसदꣳ देव एषति । ए रिणन्ति बर्हिषि प्रियꣳ गिराश्वो न देवाꣳ अप्य् एति यज्ञियः

śyeno na yoniṁ sadanaṁ dhiyā kṛtaṁ hiraṇyayam āsadaṁ deva eṣati | e riṇanti barhiṣi priyaṁ girāśvo na devām̐ apy eti yajñiyaḥ

Like a falcon (to its) nest, the god hastens to sit down in the seat made by devotion, the golden one; with the song they let the dear one run onto the barhis, and like a horse he, worthy of sacrifice, goes to the gods.

परा व्यक्तो अरुषो दिवः कविर् वृषा त्रिपृष्ठो अनविष्ट गा अभि । सहस्रणीतिर् यतिः परायती रेभो न पूर्वीर् उषसो वि राजति

parā vyakto aruṣo divaḥ kavir vṛṣā tripṛṣṭho anaviṣṭa gā abhi | sahasraṇītir yatiḥ parāyatī rebho na pūrvīr uṣaso vi rājati

Adorned, ruddy, the seer of heaven, the bull with three backs, has bellowed away toward the cows; leading a thousand, a mover going forth, like a singer he shines out over the many dawns.

RV 9 71.8

त्वेषꣳ रूपꣳ कृणुते वर्णो अस्य स यत्राशयत् समृता सेधति स्रिधः । अप्सा याति स्वधया दैव्यꣳ जनꣳ सꣳ सुष्टुती नसते सꣳ गोअग्रया

tveṣaṁ rūpaṁ kṛṇute varṇo asya sa yatrāśayat samṛtā sedhati sridhaḥ | apsā yāti svadhayā daivyaṁ janaṁ saṁ suṣṭutī nasate saṁ goagrayā

He makes a glittering form; this is his colour. Where he has lain down, in the encounter he drives off the failures. Winning the waters he goes by his own power to the divine folk; he unites with the fair praise, with that which has the cow at its head.

उक्षेव यूथा परियन्न् अरावीद् अधि त्विषीर् अधित सूर्यस्य । दिव्यः सुपर्णो ऽव चक्षत क्षाꣳ सोमः परि क्रतुना पश्यते जाः

ukṣeva yūthā pariyann arāvīd adhi tviṣīr adhita sūryasya | divyaḥ suparṇo 'va cakṣata kṣāṁ somaḥ pari kratunā paśyate jāḥ

Like a bull going around the herds he has roared; he has taken upon himself the flashings of the sun. The heavenly eagle has looked down upon the earth; Soma looks around upon the generations with his insight.
