Rigveda Samhita — Mandala 9 — Chapter 74

RV 9 74.1

शिशुर् न जातो ऽव चक्रदद् वने स्व१र् यद् वाज्य् अरुषः सिषासति । दिवो रेतसा सचते पयोवृधा तम् ईमहे सुमती शर्म सप्रथः

śiśur na jāto 'va cakradad vane sva1r yad vājy aruṣaḥ siṣāsati | divo retasā sacate payovṛdhā tam īmahe sumatī śarma saprathaḥ

Like a new-born child he has cried aloud in the wood, when the ruddy prize-winner seeks to gain the sun. He unites with the milk-swelling seed of heaven; him we implore with a good thought for wide shelter.

RV 9 74.2

दिवो यः स्कम्भो धरुणः स्वातत आपूर्णो अꣳशुः पर्येति विश्वतः । सेमे मही रोदसी यक्षद् आवृता समीचीने दाधार सम् इषः कविः

divo yaḥ skambho dharuṇaḥ svātata āpūrṇo aṁśuḥ paryeti viśvataḥ | seme mahī rodasī yakṣad āvṛtā samīcīne dādhāra sam iṣaḥ kaviḥ

He who is the pillar of heaven, the support, well stretched out, the full stalk, goes round on all sides. May he, with due observance, worship these two great worlds; the seer has held the two (world-halves), that face each other, together with refreshments.

RV 9 74.3

महि प्सरः सुकृतꣳ सोम्यम् मधूर्वी गव्यूतिर् अदितेर् ऋतꣳ यते । ईशे यो वृष्टेर् इत उस्रियो वृषापाꣳ नेता य इतऊतिर् ऋग्मियः

mahi psaraḥ sukṛtaṁ somyam madhūrvī gavyūtir aditer ṛtaṁ yate | īśe yo vṛṣṭer ita usriyo vṛṣāpāṁ netā ya itaūtir ṛgmiyaḥ

A great banquet, well prepared, the Soma honey; broad is the pasture-way of Aditi for him who goes by ṛta. (He) who rules over rain from here, the ruddy bull, who leads the waters, whose help is from here, worthy of verses.

RV 9 74.4

आत्मन्वन् नभो दुह्यते घृतम् पय ऋतस्य नाभिर् अमृतꣳ वि जायते । समीचीनाः सुदानवः प्रीणन्ति तꣳ नरो हितम् अव मेहन्ति पेरवः

ātmanvan nabho duhyate ghṛtam paya ṛtasya nābhir amṛtaṁ vi jāyate | samīcīnāḥ sudānavaḥ prīṇanti taṁ naro hitam ava mehanti peravaḥ

The cloud, having a soul (of its own), is milked of ghee and milk; the navel of ṛta, the immortal, is born forth. Turned toward it, the good givers gratify it; the men, the swelling ones, make (it) stream down when it is set (in place).

RV 9 74.5

अरावीद् अꣳशुः सचमान ऊर्मिणा देवाव्य१म् मनुषे पिन्वति त्वचम् । दधाति गर्भम् अदितेर् उपस्थ आ येन तोकꣳ च तनयꣳ च धामहे

arāvīd aṁśuḥ sacamāna ūrmiṇā devāvya1m manuṣe pinvati tvacam | dadhāti garbham aditer upastha ā yena tokaṁ ca tanayaṁ ca dhāmahe

The stalk has roared, accompanied by the wave; for man it swells the god-favouring skin. It places the embryo in Aditi's lap, by which we obtain both offspring and progeny.

RV 9 74.6

सहस्रधारे ऽव ता असश्चतस् तृतीये सन्तु रजसि प्रजावतीः । चतस्रो नाभो निहिता अवो दिवो हविर् भरन्त्य् अमृतꣳ घृतश्चुतः

sahasradhāre 'va tā asaścatas tṛtīye santu rajasi prajāvatīḥ | catasro nābho nihitā avo divo havir bharanty amṛtaṁ ghṛtaścutaḥ

In the thousand-streamed (filter) let those unfailing (streams) be rich in offspring in the third realm. Four navels, set down below heaven, bear the oblation, the immortal (draught), dripping with ghee.

RV 9 74.7

श्वेतꣳ रूपꣳ कृणुते यत् सिषासति सोमो मीढ्वाꣳ असुरो वेद भूमनः । धिया शमी सचते सेम् अभि प्रवद् दिवस् कवन्धम् अव दर्षद् उद्रिणम्

śvetaṁ rūpaṁ kṛṇute yat siṣāsati somo mīḍhvām̐ asuro veda bhūmanaḥ | dhiyā śamī sacate sem abhi pravad divas kavandham ava darṣad udriṇam

He makes a white form when he seeks to win; Soma, the bounteous, the Asura, knows the abundance. With thought he joins with the ritual labour; may he (send it) forth downward, may he burst open the water-bearing cask of heaven.

अध श्वेतꣳ कलशꣳ गोभिर् अक्तꣳ कार्ष्मन्न् आ वाज्य् अक्रमीत् ससवान् । आ हिन्विरे मनसा देवयन्तः कक्षीवते शतहिमाय गोनाम्

adha śvetaṁ kalaśaṁ gobhir aktaṁ kārṣmann ā vājy akramīt sasavān | ā hinvire manasā devayantaḥ kakṣīvate śatahimāya gonām

Then the prize-winner, having won, has stepped to the goal, to the white jar anointed with milk. Those seeking the gods have urged (him) on with their mind, for Kakṣīvat of a hundred winters, for cows.

अद्भिः सोम पपृचानस्य ते रसो ऽव्यो वारꣳ वि पवमान धावति । स मृज्यमानः कविभिर् मदिन्तम स्वदस्वेन्द्राय पवमान पीतये

adbhiḥ soma papṛcānasya te raso 'vyo vāraṁ vi pavamāna dhāvati | sa mṛjyamānaḥ kavibhir madintama svadasvendrāya pavamāna pītaye

O Soma, when you are mixed with the waters, your sap runs out through the sheep's fleece, O self-purifying one. Cleansed by the seers, O most intoxicating one, make yourself sweet for Indra to drink, O self-purifying one.
