SV 1 5208.1

त्रिकद्रुकेषु महिषो यवाशिरं तुविशुष्मस्तृम्पत्सोममपिबद्विष्णुना सुतं यथावशं । स ईं ममाद महि कर्म कर्त्तवे महामुरुं सैनं सश्चद्देवो देवं सत्य इन्दुः सत्यमिन्द्रं

trikadrukeṣu mahiṣo yavāśiraṃ tuviśuṣmastṛmpatsomamapibadviṣṇunā sutaṃ yathāvaśaṃ | sa īṃ mamāda mahi karma karttave mahāmuruṃ sainaṃ saścaddevo devaṃ satya induḥ satyamindraṃ

At the Trikadruka (days) the buffalo of mighty force, sating himself, drank the barley-mixed soma, pressed with Viṣṇu, at his will. It intoxicated him to do a great deed — the great, the wide one; the god attended upon that god, the true Indu upon the true Indra.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

At the Trikadrukas the great and strong enjoyed the barley-brew. With Vishnu did he drink the pressed-out Soma juice, even as he would. That hath so heightened him the great, the wide to do his mighty work. So did the God attend the God, true Indu Indra who is true.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1893)

SV 1 5208.2

अयं सहस्रमानवो दृशः कवीनां मतिर्ज्योतिर्विधर्म । ब्रध्नः समीचीरुषसः समैरयदरेपसः सोचेतसः स्वसरे मन्युमन्तश्चिता गोः

ayaṃ sahasramānavo dṛśaḥ kavīnāṃ matirjyotirvidharma | bradhnaḥ samīcīruṣasaḥ samairayadarepasaḥ socetasaḥ svasare manyumantaścitā goḥ

This one is a thousandfold, (belonging) to men, for sight, the thought of the seers, the light spread abroad. The ruddy one sent up the dawns together, joined, stainless, of one mind, in the pasture, spirited, in the array of the cow.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

This God who sees for thousands of mankind, the light, the thought of poets, and the Law, The brilliant one, hath sent forth hither all the Dawns: spotless, one-minded, zealous in their home they dwell, with thought upon the Steer.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1893)

SV 1 5208.3

एन्द्र याह्युप नः परावतो नायमच्छा विदथानीव सत्पतिरस्ता राजेव सत्पतिः । हवामहे त्वा प्रयस्वन्तः सुतेष्वा पुत्रासो न पितरं वाजसातये मंहिष्ठं वाजसातये

endra yāhyupa naḥ parāvato nāyamacchā vidathānīva satpatirastā rājeva satpatiḥ | havāmahe tvā prayasvantaḥ suteṣvā putrāso na pitaraṃ vājasātaye maṃhiṣṭhaṃ vājasātaye

Come, Indra, near to us from afar, as (one comes) hither to the councils, like a lord of the settlement, like an archer king, a lord of the settlement. We call you, bringing offerings at the pressings, as sons (call) a father, for the winning of the prize — you the most bountiful, for the winning of the prize.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Come to us, Indra, from afar, conducting us, as, to the gatherings, a Lord of heroes, as an archer King, the heroes' Lord! We come with gifts of pleasant food, with flowing juice, invoking thee, as sons invite a sire, that we may win the spoil, thee, bounteousest, for gain of spoil.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1893)

SV 1 5208.4

तमिन्द्रं जोहवीमि मघवानमुग्रं सत्रा दधानमप्रतिष्कुतं श्रवांसि भूरिः । मंहिष्ठो गीर्भिरा च यज्ञियो ववर्त्त राये नो विश्वा सुपथा कृणोतु वज्री

tamindraṃ johavīmi maghavānamugraṃ satrā dadhānamapratiṣkutaṃ śravāṃsi bhūriḥ | maṃhiṣṭho gīrbhirā ca yajñiyo vavartta rāye no viśvā supathā kṛṇotu vajrī

That Indra I call again and again, the bounteous, the mighty, who altogether holds fast, unrepelled, (and holds) abundant glories. Most generous and fit for sacrifice, may he turn hither with our songs; may the vajra-bearer make all paths good for us toward wealth.

AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition — the model flagged this verse as uncertain

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Loudly I call that Indra Maghavan, the mighty, resistless, evermore possessing many glories. Holy, most liberal, may he lead us on to riches, through songs, and, thunder-armed make all our pathways pleasant!

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1893)

SV 1 5208.5

अस्तु श्रौषट् पुरो अग्निं धिया दध आ नु त्यच्छर्धो दिव्यं वृणीमह इन्द्रवायू वृणीमहे । यद्ध क्राणा विवस्वते नाभा सन्दाय नव्यसे । अध प्र नूनमुप यन्ति धीतयो देवांअच्छा न धीतयः

astu śrauṣaṭ puro agniṃ dhiyā dadha ā nu tyacchardho divyaṃ vṛṇīmaha indravāyū vṛṇīmahe | yaddha krāṇā vivasvate nābhā sandāya navyase | adha pra nūnamupa yanti dhītayo devāṃacchā na dhītayaḥ

Let there be the call 'śrauṣaṭ'! In front I set Agni with my thought. Now we choose that heavenly host, we choose Indra and Vāyu — when, acting for Vivasvant, (we) bind (the song) at the navel for a new (rite). Then now the thoughts go forth, the thoughts (go) toward the gods.

AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition — the model flagged this verse as uncertain

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Heard be our prayer! In thought I honour Agni first: now straightway we elect this heavenly company, Indra and Vayu we elect. For when our latest thought is raised and on Vivasvan centred well, then do our holy songs go forward on their way, our songs as 'twere unto the Gods.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1893)

SV 1 5208.6

प्र वो महे मतयो यन्तु विष्णवे मरुत्वते गिरिजा एवयामरुत् । प्र शर्धाय प्र यज्यवे सुखादये तवसे भन्ददिष्टये धुनिव्रताय शवसे

pra vo mahe matayo yantu viṣṇave marutvate girijā evayāmarut | pra śardhāya pra yajyave sukhādaye tavase bhandadiṣṭaye dhunivratāya śavase

Let your hymns go forth to the great Viṣṇu accompanied by the Maruts, mountain-born — Evayāmarut! — forth to the troop, forth to the one worthy of worship, with fair rings, to the strong one whose coming is greeted with praise, to the might of turbulent ordinance.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

To Vishnu, to the mighty whom the Maruts follow, let your hymns born in song go forth, Evayamarut! To the strong, very holy band adorned with bracelets, that rushes on in joy and ever roars for vigour!

SV 1 5208.7

अया रुचा हरिण्या पुनानो विश्वा द्वेषांसि तरति सयुग्वभिः सूरो न सयुग्वभिः । धारा पृष्ठस्य रोचते पुनानो अरुषो हरिः । विश्वा यद्रूपा परियास्यृक्वभिः सप्तास्येभिर्ऋक्वभिः

ayā rucā hariṇyā punāno viśvā dveṣāṃsi tarati sayugvabhiḥ sūro na sayugvabhiḥ | dhārā pṛṣṭhasya rocate punāno aruṣo hariḥ | viśvā yadrūpā pariyāsyṛkvabhiḥ saptāsyebhirṛkvabhiḥ

With this golden radiance, being purified, he crosses all hatreds with his yoke-fellows, as the sun with his yoke-fellows. Purified by the stream, the ruddy tawny one shines on the back (of the filter), when you pass around all the forms with the singers, with the seven-mouthed singers.

AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition — the model flagged this verse as uncertain

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

With this his golden splendour purifying him, be with his own allies subdues all enemies, as Sura with 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 (1893)

SV 1 5208.8

अभि त्यं देवं सवितारमोण्योः कविक्रतुमर्चामि सत्यसवं रत्नधामभि प्रियं मतिम् ऊर्ध्वा यस्यामतिर्भा अदिद्युतत्सवीमनि हिरण्यपाणिरमिमीत सुक्रतुः कृपा स्वः

abhi tyaṃ devaṃ savitāramoṇyoḥ kavikratumarcāmi satyasavaṃ ratnadhāmabhi priyaṃ matim ūrdhvā yasyāmatirbhā adidyutatsavīmani hiraṇyapāṇiramimīta sukratuḥ kṛpā svaḥ

That god Savitṛ of the two (arms), of poet's power, I praise — him of true impulsion, the bestower of treasure — (I praise) the dear thought. Upright, whose splendour, whose light, has flashed forth at his impelling; the golden-handed one of good power measured out the sun-world with his form.

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

I praise this God, parent of heaven and earth, exceeding wise, possessed of real energy, giver of treasure, thinker dear to all, Whose splendour is sublime, whose light shone brilliant in, creation, who, wise and golden-handed, in his beauty mader the sky.

SV 1 5208.9

अग्निं होतारं मन्ये दास्वन्तं वसोः सूनुं सहसो जातवेदसं विप्रं न जातवेदसं । य ऊर्ध्वया स्वध्वरो देवो देवाच्या कृपा । घृतस्य विभ्राष्टिमनु शुक्रशोचिष आजुह्वानस्य सर्पिषः

agniṃ hotāraṃ manye dāsvantaṃ vasoḥ sūnuṃ sahaso jātavedasaṃ vipraṃ na jātavedasaṃ | ya ūrdhvayā svadhvaro devo devācyā kṛpā | ghṛtasya vibhrāṣṭimanu śukraśociṣa ājuhvānasya sarpiṣaḥ

Agni I deem the hotṛ, the giver of good, the son of strength, of power, who knows all that is born, the inspired one who knows all that is born — the god of good ritual who, with upward, god-ward form, (follows) along the blazing of the ghee, of the bright-flaming melted butter that is poured in.

AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition — the model flagged this verse as uncertain

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

Agni I deem our Hotar-priest, munificent wealth-giver, Son of Strength, who, knoweth all that is, even as the Sage who, knoweth all. Lord of fair rites, a God with form erected turning to the Gods, he, when the flame hath sprung forth from the holy oil, the offered fatness, longs for it as it glows bright.

— tr. Ralph T.H. Griffith (1893)

SV 1 5208.10

तव त्यन्नर्यं नृतोऽप इन्द्र प्रथमं पूर्व्यं दिवि प्रवाच्यं कृतं । यो देवस्य शवसा प्रारिणा असु रिणन्नपः । भुवो विश्वमभ्यदेवमोजसा विदेदूर्जं शतक्रतुर्विदेदिषं

tava tyannaryaṃ nṛto'pa indra prathamaṃ pūrvyaṃ divi pravācyaṃ kṛtaṃ | yo devasya śavasā prāriṇā asu riṇannapaḥ | bhuvo viśvamabhyadevamojasā videdūrjaṃ śatakraturvidediṣaṃ

That manly deed of yours, O dancer Indra, was done in the waters, the first, the ancient, to be proclaimed in heaven — you who by the god's might set life flowing, releasing the waters. By your force you overcame all that is godless; he of a hundred powers found strength, found nourishment.

AI translation rendered from the Sanskrit, not a published edition — the model flagged this verse as uncertain

Compare with Ralph T.H. Griffith

This, Indra! dancer! was thy hero deed, thy first and ancient work, worthy to be told forth in heaven, Even thine who furtheredst life with a God's own power, freeing the floods. All that is godless may he conquer with his might, and, Lord of Hundred Powers, find for us strength and food!
