Rigveda Samhita — Mandala 9 — Chapter 94

RV 9 94.1

अधि यद् अस्मिन् वाजिनीव शुभः स्पर्धन्ते धियः सूर्ये न विशः । अपो वृणानः पवते कवीयन् व्रजꣳ न पशुवर्धनाय मन्म

adhi yad asmin vājinīva śubhaḥ spardhante dhiyaḥ sūrye na viśaḥ | apo vṛṇānaḥ pavate kavīyan vrajaṁ na paśuvardhanāya manma

When over him the prayers contend for beauty like mares (in a race), like clans for the sun, then choosing the waters he purifies himself, playing the poet — (making) the hymn like a pen for the increase of cattle.

RV 9 94.2

द्विता व्यूर्ण्वन्न् अमृतस्य धाम स्वर्विदे भुवनानि प्रथन्त । धियः पिन्वानाः स्वसरे न गाव ऋतायन्तीर् अभि वावश्र इन्दुम्

dvitā vyūrṇvann amṛtasya dhāma svarvide bhuvanāni prathanta | dhiyaḥ pinvānāḥ svasare na gāva ṛtāyantīr abhi vāvaśra indum

Doubly uncovering the abode of the immortal, for him who finds the sun the worlds spread themselves out; the swelling prayers, like cows in the morning pasture, seeking ṛta, have bellowed toward the drop.

RV 9 94.3

परि यत् कविः काव्या भरते शूरो न रथो भुवनानि विश्वा । देवेषु यशो मर्ताय भूषन् दक्षाय रायः पुरुभूषु नव्यः

pari yat kaviḥ kāvyā bharate śūro na ratho bhuvanāni viśvā | deveṣu yaśo martāya bhūṣan dakṣāya rāyaḥ purubhūṣu navyaḥ

When the poet carries around his poetic powers, as a hero's chariot (encompasses) all the worlds, adorning glory among the gods for the mortal, riches for skill among the many-present, (he becomes) new again.

RV 9 94.4

श्रिये जातः श्रिय आ निर् इयाय श्रियꣳ वयो जरितृभ्यो दधाति । श्रियꣳ वसाना अमृतत्वम् आयन् भवन्ति सत्या समिथा मितद्रौ

śriye jātaḥ śriya ā nir iyāya śriyaṁ vayo jaritṛbhyo dadhāti | śriyaṁ vasānā amṛtatvam āyan bhavanti satyā samithā mitadrau

Born for splendour, for splendour he has come forth; splendour and vigour he confers on the singers; clothing themselves in splendour they have gone to immortality; the encounters become true for the measured-stepping one.

iṣam ūrjam abhy a1rṣāśvaṁ gām uru jyotiḥ kṛṇuhi matsi devān | viśvāni hi suṣahā tāni tubhyam pavamāna bādhase soma śatrūn

Flow toward refreshment and strength, toward horse and cow; make wide light; gladden the gods. For all those things are easy for thee to win; O Pavamāna Soma, thou drivest away the foes.
