Rigveda Samhita — Mandala 9 — Chapter 77

RV 9 77.1

एष प्र कोशे मधुमाꣳ अचिक्रदद् इन्द्रस्य वज्रो वपुषो वपुष्टरः । अभीम् ऋतस्य सुदुघा घृतश्चुतो वाश्रा अर्षन्ति पयसेव धेनवः

eṣa pra kośe madhumām̐ acikradad indrasya vajro vapuṣo vapuṣṭaraḥ | abhīm ṛtasya sudughā ghṛtaścuto vāśrā arṣanti payaseva dhenavaḥ

This one, full of honey, has roared forth in the vat, Indra's bolt, more wondrous than the wondrous. Toward him flow the good-milking, ghee-dripping (cows) of ṛta, lowing, like milch cows with their milk.

RV 9 77.2

स पूर्व्यः पवते यꣳ दिवस् परि श्येनो मथायद् इषितस् तिरो रजः । स मध्व आ युवते वेविजान इत् कृशानोर् अस्तुर् मनसाह बिभ्युषा

sa pūrvyaḥ pavate yaṁ divas pari śyeno mathāyad iṣitas tiro rajaḥ | sa madhva ā yuvate vevijāna it kṛśānor astur manasāha bibhyuṣā

He, the ancient one, purifies himself, whom the falcon, sent forth, stole from heaven, across the airy space. He draws to himself (a draught) of the honey, quivering indeed, with a mind afraid of Kṛśānu the archer.

RV 9 77.3

ते नः पूर्वास उपरास इन्दवो महे वाजाय धन्वन्तु गोमते । ईक्षेण्यासो अह्यो३ न चारवो ब्रह्म-ब्रह्म ये जुजुषुर् हविर्-हविः

Let those drops of ours, the earlier and the later ones, run for great booty rich in cattle — (drops) worth looking at, lovely like serpents, which have delighted in prayer after prayer, oblation after oblation.

RV 9 77.4

ayaṁ no vidvān vanavad vanuṣyata induḥ satrācā manasā puruṣṭutaḥ | inasya yaḥ sadane garbham ādadhe gavām urubjam abhy arṣati vrajam

May this knowing drop of ours, praised by many, with whole-hearted mind overcome those who assail (us) — he who has laid the germ in the seat of the mighty one, and flows toward the pen of the cows, pried open.

RV 9 77.5

चक्रिर् दिवः पवते कृत्व्यो रसो महाꣳ अदब्धो वरुणो हुरुग् यते । असावि मित्रो वृजनेषु यज्ञियो ऽत्यो न यूथे वृषयुः कनिक्रदत्

cakrir divaḥ pavate kṛtvyo raso mahām̐ adabdho varuṇo hurug yate | asāvi mitro vṛjaneṣu yajñiyo 'tyo na yūthe vṛṣayuḥ kanikradat

The active, effective sap of heaven purifies itself, the great, undeceived Varuṇa, crooked to him who goes crookedly. Mitra, worthy of sacrifice, has been pressed among the communities; like a steed in the herd, lusting, roaring again and again.
