1.22.16 May the gods help us from the place where Vishnu strode abroad,across the earth's seven realms.

1.22.17 Vishnu strode across this world; three times he set down his foot,and all is gathered in his dust.

1.22.18 Vishnu, guardian who cannot be deceived, strode out three steps,upholding the ordinances from that place.

1.22.19 See Vishnu's works, from which he looks upon the ordinances,Indra's companion and trusted friend.

1.22.20 Seers always see that highest step of Vishnu,like an eye extended through heaven.

1.22.21 Awake and singing, inspired poets kindlethat highest step of Vishnu.

Hymn 1.23 — Seer: Medhatithi Kanva. Deities: Vayu (1), Indra and Vayu (2–3), Mitra and Varuna (4–6), Indra with the Maruts (7–9), the All-Gods (10–12), Pushan (13–15), the Waters (16–22 and first half of 23), Agni (second half of 23–24). Meters: Gayatri (1–18), Ushnih (19), Pankti (21), Anushtubh (20, 22–24).

1.23.1 Come: these potent somas, mixed and pressed, are ready;Vayu, drink them as they are offered.

1.23.2 We call on both gods who touch heaven, Indra and Vayu,to drink this soma.

1.23.3 Inspired poets call for help on Indra and Vayu, swift as thought,thousand-eyed lords of insight.

1.23.4 We call Mitra and Varuna to drink soma,both born with pure discernment.

1.23.5 I call Mitra and Varuna, who grow through Truth by Truth,masters of the light of Truth.

1.23.6 May Varuna be our defender and Mitra aid us with every help;let them make us rich in blessings.

1.23.7 We call Indra accompanied by the Maruts to drink soma;let him enjoy it with their company.

1.23.8 Hosts of Maruts with Indra at their head, gods generous as Pushan,all of you, hear my call.

1.23.9 Generous ones, strike down Vritra with Indra as your strong ally;let no evildoer rule over us.

1.23.10 We call all the gods, the Maruts, to drink soma;fierce ones are the sons of Prishni.

1.23.11 Their thunder comes boldly, as if to win a battle,when you, heroes, go forth in splendor.

1.23.12 Born from laughter amid lightning, may they guard us;let the Maruts be gracious to us.

1.23.13 Come, radiant Pushan, to Chitrabarhis, support of heaven;bring back the lost, as a stray beast is brought home.

1.23.14 Radiant Pushan found King Chitrabarhis,hidden away in a secret place.

1.23.15 For me he drove along the six yoked ones with soma drops;with cows he plowed the barley field.

1.23.16 The mother waters go their ways, sisters of those who perform the rite,mingling milk with honey.

1.23.17 Those that are near the sun, and those with whom the sun travels:may these waters speed our rite.

1.23.18 I call the divine waters where our cattle drink;let an oblation be made to the streams.

1.23.19 Within the waters lies immortality, within the waters healing;for the waters' praise, be swift, O gods.

1.23.20 Soma told me: “In the waters are all healing powers,and Agni who blesses all, and the waters that heal all.”

1.23.21 Waters, fill us with healing, a shelter for my body,that I may see the sun for many years.

1.23.22 Carry away, waters, whatever evil is in me,whatever wrong I have done, whatever curse I have spoken, whatever lie.

1.23.23 Today I entered the waters; we have mingled with their essence.Come, Agni, rich in nourishment, and join me to splendor.

1.23.24 Join me to splendor, Agni, to children and length of life;let the gods know this of me, let Indra know it with the seers.

Hymn 1.24 — Seer: Shunahshepa Ajigarti, also called Devarata Vaishvamitra. Deities: Prajapati (1), Agni (2), Savitar (3–5), Bhaga (also 5), Varuna (6–15). Meters: Trishtubh (1–2, 6–15), Gayatri (3–5).

1.24.1 Whose lovely name shall we invoke now, which of the immortal gods?Who will return us to vast freedom, so that I may see my father and my mother?

1.24.2 We shall invoke the lovely name of Agni, first among immortals;may he return us to vast freedom, so that I may see my father and my mother.

1.24.3 We seek a share from you, divine Savitar,lord of all desirable things, eternal giver.

1.24.4 For even that share of yours he held in his hands,free from malice, long before any reproach.

1.24.5 May we rise to receive our allotted share through your help;I reach for the summit of riches.

1.24.6 Neither birds flying through the air attain your sovereignty, your strength, your wrath;nor restless flowing waters, nor winds can diminish your fury.

1.24.7 King Varuna, pure in wisdom, holds the treetop upright in a rootless space;its branches hang downward, its roots are above—may its rays settle within us.

1.24.8 King Varuna made a broad path for the sun to follow;he made footfalls where no path was, and turns aside even what pierces the heart.

1.24.9 A hundred healers are yours, king, a thousand; may your gracious thought be wide and deep;banish ruin far away; release us even from the sin we have committed.

1.24.10 Those stars set high, visible by night—where have they gone by day?Varuna's ordinances do not fail; the moon, surveying all, goes on by night.

1.24.11 I approach you with prayer in reverence; the sacrificer asks this with oblations:Varuna, do not scorn us; hear us here, gracious one, and do not steal away our life.

1.24.12 This is told me by night and by day; this insight speaks to me from the heart:let King Varuna release us, whom the bound Shunahshepa called upon.

1.24.13 Shunahshepa, bound to three posts, called upon you, Aditya;let King Varuna, wise and inviolate, loosen his bonds and set him free.

1.24.14 With reverence we beg you to put away your wrath, Varuna, with sacrifices and oblations;knowing lord and king who reigns among us, loosen the sins we have committed.

1.24.15 Varuna, loosen the upper bond from us, the lower, and undo the middle;then, Aditya, under your ordinance may we live without sin in freedom.

Hymn 1.25 — Seer: Shunahshepa Ajigarti, also called Devarata Vaishvamitra. Deity: Varuna. Meter: Gayatri.

1.25.1 Although, divine Varuna, we violate your ordinanceday after day, like the common people,

1.25.2 Do not hand us over to death or the slayerin your indignation, or to your anger when provoked.

1.25.3 With songs we bind your mind toward mercy, Varuna,as a driver binds his horse.

1.25.4 My angry thoughts fly away in pursuit of wealth,like birds returning to their nests.

1.25.5 When shall we draw near to kingly Varuna, splendid in dominion,wide-seeing, to receive his mercy?

1.25.6 The two eager ones attain this alike and do not neglectthe generous upholder of ordinances.

1.25.7 He knows the paths of birds flying through the sky;he knows the ships that cross the sea.

1.25.8 He who holds the ordinances knows the twelve months and their offspring;he knows the one born after them.

1.25.9 He knows the course of the wind, vast, lofty, and strong;he knows those who sit above it.

1.25.10 Varuna, keeper of ordinances, took his seat in the dwellings,wise in power, to reign supreme.

1.25.11 From there he looks upon every wondrous thing with understanding:what has been done and what remains to do.

1.25.12 May that wise Aditya make us a good path every day,and carry our lives forward.

1.25.13 Varuna wears a golden cloak, a shining garment;his watchers have taken their seats around him.

1.25.14 The god is beyond the reach of those who seek to deceive,of human traitors and their designs.

1.25.15 He too has established unequaled glory among mortals,even in the depths within us.

1.25.16 My thoughts go far abroad, like cows to their pastures,seeking the wide-seeing one.

1.25.17 Let us speak together again, since honey has been brought me;like an invoker, you eat what you love.

1.25.18 I have seen the one whom all can see, seen his chariot upon the earth;welcome these songs of mine.

1.25.19 Hear this call of mine, Varuna, and show mercy today;I call to you in need of help.

1.25.20 Wise one, you rule over all, heaven and earth;hear me when I set forth.

1.25.21 Release our upper bond; undo the middle cord;loosen the lower bonds so that we may live.

Hymn 1.26 — Seer: Shunahshepa Ajigarti, also called Devarata Vaishvamitra. Deity: Agni. Meter: Gayatri.

1.26.1 Put on your garments, lord of nourishment, worthy of sacrifice;perform this rite of ours.

1.26.2 Sit down as our chosen invoker always, youngest one, among our prayers;Agni, bring heavenly speech.

1.26.3 For a father offers sacrifice for his son and a friend for his friend;a chosen companion offers for a companion.

1.26.4 Let Varuna, Mitra, and Aryaman, destroyers of harm,sit on our ritual grass, as they did for Manu.

1.26.5 Ancient invoker, rejoice in this offering and in our friendship;listen well to these songs.

1.26.6 Whenever, through all generations, we sacrifice to god after god,it is into you that the oblation is poured.

1.26.7 Let our beloved lord of the people be a joyous, chosen invoker;may we be dear to Agni.

1.26.8 For the gods have set desirable wealth before us who love Agni;we who love Agni give them thought.

1.26.9 Immortal one, let our praises meet both kinds of beings,mortals and immortals alike.

1.26.10 Agni, with every fire, take delight in this sacrifice and this word,child of strength.

Hymn 1.27 — Seer: Shunahshepa Ajigarti, also called Devarata Vaishvamitra. Deities: Agni (1–12), the gods (13). Meters: Gayatri (1–12), Trishtubh (13).

1.27.1 I honor you, Agni, like a horse with its flowing mane,reigning over sacrifices, with reverent praise.

1.27.2 May he be a son to us, strong, ranging far, gracious,bountiful to our people.

1.27.3 From far and near, from every mortal intent on harm,guard us always, guardian of all life.

1.27.4 Declare this newest Gayatri hymn of ours,Agni, among the gods.

1.27.5 Give us a share in the highest prizes and in the middle;be generous with the nearest treasure.

1.27.6 You are the divider, radiant one, and like a river's wave close by,you pour out for the giver at once.

1.27.7 The mortal you protect in battles, Agni, whom you rouse in contests,gains everlasting nourishment.

1.27.8 No enemy overtakes his strength, nor any who encircles him;his prize is worthy of renown.

1.27.9 Let him who watches all humanity win the prize with conquering horses;let him win with inspired poets.

1.27.10 You who wake at old age, discern the visible praisefor Rudra, worthy of sacrifice in every house.

1.27.11 May the great, boundless one, with smoke as his banner, rich in delights,urge us toward inspiration and the prize.

1.27.12 Let Agni, rich as the lord of the people, a godly light of broad brilliance,hear us through our hymns.

1.27.13 Honor to the great, honor to the small; honor to the young, honor to the aged.Let us worship the gods if we can; gods, let me not cut off the elder's praise.

Hymn 1.28 — Seer: Shunahshepa Ajigarti, also called Devarata Vaishvamitra. Deities: Indra (1–4), the mortar (5–6), mortar and pestle (7–8), Prajapati Harishchandra, the pressing hide, or Soma (9). Meters: Anushtubh (1–5), Gayatri (7–9).

1.28.1 Where the pressing stone stands upright on its broad base to press,Indra, swallow the soma pressed in the mortar.

1.28.2 Where the two pressing boards have been set like a pair of buttocks,Indra, swallow the soma pressed in the mortar.

1.28.3 Where the woman learns to move the pestle up and down,Indra, swallow the soma pressed in the mortar.

1.28.4 Where they bind the churn's cords like reins to steer a horse,Indra, swallow the soma pressed in the mortar.

1.28.5 Though you are yoked in every house, little mortar,speak here most resplendently, like a war drum sounding victory.

1.28.6 And wind blows over your summit, forest-born one;so press soma for Indra to drink, mortar.

1.28.7 The two sacrifice-makers, greatest winners of prizes, rise high;like bay horses, they devour the plants.

1.28.8 These two tall wooden ones, with the tall pressers,have pressed the honeyed juice for Indra today.

1.28.9 Carry the remainder into the two vessels; release the soma through the strainer;lay it upon the cowhide.

Hymn 1.29 — Seer: Shunahshepa Ajigarti, also called Devarata Vaishvamitra. Deity: Indra. Meter: Pankti.

1.29.1 Even if we seem without a blessing, true drinker of soma,come and bring us praise, Indra, for cattle, splendid horses, and thousands, richly generous one.

1.29.2 Bright-cheeked lord of prizes, powerful are your wonders;come and bring us praise, Indra, for cattle, splendid horses, and thousands, richly generous one.

1.29.3 Put the treacherous spies to sleep; let them lie unawakened;come and bring us praise, Indra, for cattle, splendid horses, and thousands, richly generous one.

1.29.4 Let grudging enemies sleep, and gifts awaken, hero;come and bring us praise, Indra, for cattle, splendid horses, and thousands, richly generous one.

1.29.5 Crush together, Indra, the donkey braying with evil intent;come and bring us praise, Indra, for cattle, splendid horses, and thousands, richly generous one.

1.29.6 Let the wind from the forest carry that shrill screech far away;come and bring us praise, Indra, for cattle, splendid horses, and thousands, richly generous one.

1.29.7 Strike down every clamor, and crush the horse-throated one;come and bring us praise, Indra, for cattle, splendid horses, and thousands, richly generous one.

Hymn 1.30 — Seer: Shunahshepa Ajigarti, also called Devarata Vaishvamitra. Deities: Indra (1–16), the Ashvins (17–19), Ushas (20–22). Meters: Gayatri (1–10, 12–15, 17–22), variant Gayatri (11), Trishtubh (16).

1.30.1 Pour the drops for Indra, hundred-powered, most generous,as men striving for prizes bring them to Krivi.

1.30.2 A hundred pure draughts, or a thousand mixed with milk,flow to him as waters descend into a hollow.

1.30.3 For the strong one's delight, the draughts gathered in his belly,and he contained their breadth like the sea.

1.30.4 This song rests in you like a dove in its nest;even that word of ours you carry.

1.30.5 Let praise be yours, lord of gifts, hero borne by songs;let your wealth be rich in gracious speech.

1.30.6 Stand upright for our aid in this contest, hundred-powered one;let us speak together among the others.

1.30.7 At every harnessing of effort, in every contest,we friends call the mighty Indra to aid us.

1.30.8 If he hears, he will surely come to our callwith a thousand protections and prizes.

1.30.9 From the ancient dwelling I call the man of great understanding,whom your father invoked before you.

1.30.10 We ask you for every choice gift, much-invoked one,friend and benefactor of singers.

1.30.11 You, drinker of soma, are the friend of us bright-faced women,pressers of soma; friend, wielder of the mace, of friends.

1.30.12 Let it be so, soma-drinker, friend and wielder of the mace;do as we desire for sustenance.

1.30.13 May we feast together with Indra on rich provisions,abundant in prizes, noisy with the joy they bring.

1.30.14 Come to your praisers, fearless one who has found yourself;open the way as an axle turns between two wheels.

1.30.15 When you brought the singers' wish to pass, hundred-powered one,you opened the way with your powers as an axle does.

1.30.16 Indra has always won wealth with snorting, neighing, panting steeds;may that wondrous giver grant us a golden chariot and wealth to win.

1.30.17 Ashvins, come in your horse-drawn chariot, full of heroic strength,bringing cattle and gold, wonder-workers.

1.30.18 Your chariot, wonder-workers, is yoked alike on both sides, immortal;Ashvins, it journeys over the sea.

1.30.19 You set one wheel of your chariot upon the head of the uninjurable one;the other circles through heaven.

1.30.20 What mortal, beloved at all times, immortal Ushas, is yours to enjoy?Whom do you visit, radiant one?

1.30.21 We have set our thoughts on you from near and far,on you like a splendid ruddy horse.

1.30.22 Come with these prizes, daughter of heaven;set wealth among us.

Hymn 1.31 — Seer: Hiranyastupa Angirasa. Deity: Agni. Meters: Jagati, Trishtubh (8–16, 18).

1.31.1 You, Agni, were the first seer Angiras, a god and gracious friend of gods;under your ordinance arose the wise, skilled Maruts with glittering spears.

1.31.2 You, Agni, first and greatest Angiras, wise one, encompass the gods' ordinance;all-pervading sage of all worlds, two-mothered, you have lain in many forms for man.

1.31.3 Agni, as the first Matarishvan, appear in wise power to Vivasvat;heaven and earth trembled at the choice of invoker; unharmed you bore the burden and sacrificed, great giver.

1.31.4 Agni, you made heaven sound for Manu and, doer of good, for the worthy Pururavas;when swiftly freed from your parents, those before brought you forth, and later ones again.

1.31.5 Agni, you are the bull increasing plenty, famous when the ladle is raised;you who know the offering and cry of “vashat” serve the people at the front with one life.

1.31.6 Agni, at the gathering you carry a man along his crooked path, discerning, among the clans;in contests for brave prizes, with the few allied to you, you strike down the many.

1.31.7 You place that mortal in highest immortality for glory day by day, Agni;for him who thirsts for both births you make delight, and bring nourishment to the seer.

1.31.8 Agni, praised by us, make our singer famous for the winning of wealth;may we prosper through fresh skill in deeds; with the gods, Heaven and Earth, help us.

1.31.9 In the lap of your two parents, Agni, you wake as a blameless god among gods;make yourself known as maker of bodies, mindful of the singer; gracious one, you possess all wealth.

1.31.10 Agni, you are our guardian and our father; you grant us life, and we are your kin;wealth by hundreds and thousands comes to you, rich in heroes, guardian of ordinance, undeceived.

1.31.11 The gods made you the first life for man, Agni, lord of Nahusha's people;they made Ila the guide of humankind, when a son is born to his own father.

1.31.12 Agni, with your divine defenses guard our generous patrons and our bodies, worthy one;protect our children and descendants and cattle, watching sleeplessly over your ordinance.

1.31.13 Agni, as a guardian within you are kindled for the worshiper, four-eyed, never faltering;the giver of offerings feeds the harmless man; you welcome even the poor man's prayer.

1.31.14 Agni, whatever highest treasure you grant the singer whose praise reaches far,you are called a guardian and father even to the poor; you instruct the simple and guide the wise.

1.31.15 Agni, you encircle and protect the man whose gift is ready, like armor sewn all around;he offers a living sacrifice, eats sweet food, and makes his dwelling pleasant beneath heaven.

1.31.16 Agni, consider this refuge of ours, this road on which we have traveled from afar;you are companion, father, and guide to those who press soma, swift mover and maker of seers among mortals.

1.31.17 As for Manu and Angiras, as for Yayati in the old dwelling, bright Angiras,come and bring the divine people; seat them upon the ritual grass and offer what is dear.

1.31.18 Grow through this prayer, Agni, through whatever we have done with strength and knowledge;lead us toward greater wealth and join us to gracious thought rich in prizes.

Hymn 1.32 — Seer: Hiranyastupa Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.32.1 Now I shall proclaim Indra's heroic deeds, the first performed by the mace-bearer:he killed the serpent, released the waters, split open the mountain's channels.

1.32.2 He killed the serpent hiding in the mountain; Tvashtar fashioned for him the sounding mace;like lowing cows rushing onward, the waters went straight down to the sea.

1.32.3 Eager as a bull, he chose the soma, drank the pressed drink at the three vessels;the generous one took up his weapon, the mace, and killed the firstborn of serpents.

1.32.4 When you, Indra, killed the firstborn serpent, you shattered the spells of sorcerers;then, birthing the sun and heaven and dawn, you found no enemy left before you.

1.32.5 Indra struck Vritra, mightiest of obstructors, the shoulderless one, with his great killing mace;like tree trunks chopped with an ax, the serpent lay stretched across the earth.

1.32.6 Like a drunk who cannot fight, he challenged the great hero, forceful victor;he could not withstand the clash of his weapons; shattered lay Indra's enemy.

1.32.7 Without hands or feet he fought Indra; the mace struck him on his back;like a gelding imitating a bull, Vritra lay scattered in many places.

1.32.8 Over him lying there the waters rose and surged, as over a broken riverbank;the waters Vritra had held in his might found the serpent lying beneath their feet.

1.32.9 Vritra's mother fell prostrate when Indra flung down his weapon against her;the son lay beneath, his mother above: Danu lay like a cow beside her calf.

1.32.10 Among restless, unfettered streams lay his body;the waters wandered through Vritra's hidden place; Indra's enemy lay in lasting darkness.

1.32.11 The waters stood captive, with the Dasa as master and the serpent as herdsman, like cattle held by the Panis;when the entrance to the waters was shut, he killed Vritra and opened it.

1.32.12 You became a horse's tail, Indra, when the lone god struck back with his blade;you won the cattle, hero, won the soma and set the seven rivers running.

1.32.13 Neither lightning nor thunder hindered him, nor rain he poured nor hail;when Indra and the serpent fought, the generous one prevailed for all time to come.

1.32.14 What avenger of the serpent did you see, Indra, when fear entered your heart after the killing?Why did you cross the ninety-nine flowing rivers and the expanses like a frightened hawk?

1.32.15 Indra, whose arm bears the mace, rules moving and resting things, tame and horned beasts;he rules the peoples, encircling them as the rim surrounds the spokes.

Hymn 1.33 — Seer: Hiranyastupa Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.33.1 Let us come to Indra in search of cattle; may our wise guardian gain strength;undiminished, perhaps he will turn the highest sign of cattle wealth toward us.

1.33.2 I fly to the unresisted giver of wealth like a hawk to its beloved nest;I bow to Indra with songs, whom singers call upon as they go forth.

1.33.3 With his whole army he fastened the quivers, drove away the rivals' cows at will;Indra, bring forth abundant beauty; let no Pani grow rich at our expense.

1.33.4 You alone struck the wealthy Dasyu with your weapon, Indra, as you went with your helpers;scattered from the bow, the ancient non-sacrificers went their separate ways to death.

1.33.5 Their heads turned away from you, Indra, those non-sacrificers contending with worshipers;when you, fierce driver of bays, stood firm from heaven, you cast the lawless down between the worlds.

1.33.6 They did not dare fight the army of the blameless one; the peoples of the ninefold singers advanced;cast out like horned bulls deprived of strength, they came to recognize Indra through his voices.

1.33.7 Indra, you fought them weeping and laughing beyond the wide heavens;you burned the Dasyu down from heaven and helped the presser's song of praise.

1.33.8 They made a ring about the earth, adorned with gold and jewels;though striving, they could not overcome you, Indra; you set watchers beside the sun.

1.33.9 When you, Indra, embraced both heaven and earth in greatness on all sides,with the discerning you drove down the heedless Dasyu, those without prayers.

1.33.10 They reached neither the end of heaven nor of earth, nor with spells surrounded the giver of treasure;Indra the bull harnessed his mace and milked the cattle out of darkness with light.

1.33.11 The waters flowed according to his own law; he grew amid the navigable streams;Indra struck him in broad daylight with the strongest blow and undivided mind.

1.33.12 Indra pierced the strongholds of Ilibisha, split the horned Shushna apart;generous one, with all your surpassing strength you killed the warring foe with your mace.

1.33.13 A scorching force went against his enemies; with his sharp bull he split their fortresses;Indra let loose the mace on Vritra, seeking to advance his own design.

1.33.14 Indra, you guarded Kutsa, whom you loved, and aided the battling bull Dashadyu;dust shaken from hooves reached heaven, and Shvaitreya stood up to conquer men.

1.33.15 You guarded the bull Shama amid the Tugryas, generous one, and the white cow in the field;those who stood long against us sank low, stripped of knowledge.

Hymn 1.34 — Seer: Hiranyastupa Angirasa. Deities: the Ashvins. Meters: Jagati, Trishtubh (9–12).

1.34.1 Come to us three times today, Ashvins, with new gifts; wide is your journey and your bounty;your guidance wraps us like a winter coat; come near to our wise thoughts.

1.34.2 Three wheels are on your honey-bearing chariot, as all know who long for soma;three are its posts raised to hold it; three times by night and three by day you journey, Ashvins.

1.34.3 Three times in one day destroy what harms the cattle; three times bathe our sacrifice in honey today;three times, Ashvins, pour prize-bearing food over us at dusk and dawn.

1.34.4 Come three times to our home and three times to one devoted to you; give threefold to the man under your care;three times bring happiness, Ashvins, three times pour out abundance for us as from a perennial spring.

1.34.5 Bring us riches three times, Ashvins; three times protect our thoughts among the gods;bring us fortune and renown three times; three times the daughter of the sun mounted your chariot.

1.34.6 Ashvins, give us heavenly medicines three times, earthly medicines three times, and three times those from waters;bring triple shelter, lords of beauty, to my son for his peace and well-being.

1.34.7 Three times daily, Ashvins, come for us to sacrifice; you have traveled over the threefold earth;Nasatyas, journey through the three far places of your chariot, like wind through its dwelling places.

1.34.8 Three times, Ashvins, with the seven mother rivers; three are the offering vessels and threefold the oblation;three earths are beneath and heaven above: keep watch over the vault set for bright days and nights.

1.34.9 Where are the chariot's three wheels, its triple form; where the three seats together?When will the donkey's swift team be harnessed to carry you to the sacrifice, Nasatyas?

1.34.10 Come, Nasatyas, the oblation calls; drink the honey with honey-drinking mouths;Savitar sends your bright chariot, rich in ghee, before the dawn to the sacred order.

1.34.11 Come, Nasatyas, with thirty-three gods to drink honey here, Ashvins;prolong our lives, wipe away our sins, banish hatred, and stay beside us.

1.34.12 Bring brave wealth toward us in your threefold chariot, Ashvins;hear my repeated call for aid, and help us grow in winning the prize.

Hymn 1.35 — Seer: Hiranyastupa Angirasa. Deities: Agni, Mitra and Varuna, Night, Savitar (1); Savitar (2–11). Meters: Trishtubh, Jagati (1, 9).

1.35.1 I call first on Agni for well-being; I call Mitra and Varuna here for aid;I call Night, who brings the world to rest; I call divine Savitar for help.

1.35.2 Moving through the dark expanse, settling both immortal and mortal,divine Savitar journeys in his golden chariot, watching the worlds.

1.35.3 The god journeys downhill, uphill, borne by his two shining bay horses, worthy of sacrifice;from afar comes divine Savitar, driving away every evil.

1.35.4 Savitar of splendid radiance has mounted his great chariot, clothed in every form, with golden pin;he takes on might as he crosses the dark expanses.

1.35.5 His dark, white-footed horses, carrying the golden chariot pole, gaze upon the peoples;all worlds and peoples forever dwell in the lap of divine Savitar.

1.35.6 Three heavens belong to Savitar, two in his lap; one rules within Yama's world;immortals stand on him as on a chariot's axle: let one who knows tell of it here.

1.35.7 The fair-winged one surveys the spaces, deep-stirring god of good guidance;where is the sun now? Who knows what heaven its ray has reached?

1.35.8 He looked over earth's eight regions, three desert stretches, seven rivers;golden-eyed divine Savitar has come, bearing choice treasures for the giver.

1.35.9 Golden-handed Savitar, watching humanity, moves between both heaven and earth;he drives off disease, follows the sun, and covers the sky with dark expanse.

1.35.10 Let the golden-handed lord come toward us, well-guiding and gracious, rich in his own light;driving away evil spirits, the god stands praised at every dusk.

1.35.11 By your ancient paths, Savitar, free of dust and well-made in the air,protect us today on those easy roads, and speak on our behalf, O god.

Hymn 1.36 — Seer: Kanva Ghaura. Deity: Agni (or the sacrificial post in verses 13–14). Meters: alternating Brihati and Satobrihati, variant Brihati (13).

1.36.1 With beautiful songs we seek Agni, great one of the many god-seeking peoples;we seek him with words of praise, whom others too honor.

1.36.2 People have installed Agni, who increases strength; bearing oblations, we worship you;be our kindly protector today in contests, present one.

1.36.3 We choose you as our messenger, the all-knowing invoker;your great flames wander abroad and your beams touch heaven.

1.36.4 The gods Varuna, Mitra, and Aryaman kindle you as their ancient messenger;the mortal who gives to you wins every treasure through you, Agni.

1.36.5 You are the joyful invoker, lord of the house, Agni, messenger of peoples;within you all the lasting ordinances made by gods converge.

1.36.6 In you, fortunate young Agni, every offering is poured;be kindly to us today and hereafter, sacrifice to the gods for brave strength.

1.36.7 Reverent ones sit beside this sovereign;the people kindle Agni with their invocations, crossing beyond deceit.

1.36.8 Killing Vritra, they crossed the worlds and waters, making a broad dwelling;let the radiant bull be invoked among the Kanvas, his horse neighing in the quest for cattle.

1.36.9 Sit down together, great one; blaze, god most loved by gods;release your ruddy smoke, Agni worthy of sacrifice, glorious and splendid to behold.

1.36.10 You whom the gods established here for Manu, best sacrificer and bearer of oblations;whom Kanva Medhyatithi, wealth-seeking, and the praising bull invoked:

1.36.11 That Agni whom Medhyatithi Kanva kindled from Truth,his commands flashed; with these verses we strengthen that Agni.

1.36.12 Fill us with riches, self-sustained one; you have kinship with the gods, Agni;you reign over the renowned prize; be gracious to us, for you are great.

1.36.13 Stand high for our help, like the god Savitar;upright, winner of the prize, when we call you with decorated singers.

1.36.14 From on high guard us from distress; with your light burn down every devourer;set us upright to move and live; make our service known among the gods.

1.36.15 Guard us from harmful spirits, Agni, from the guile of the ungenerous;guard us from those who hurt or seek to kill us, bright and youthful one.

1.36.16 Like a bludgeon, strike the ungenerous in every direction, burning-jawed foe of our foes;let no mortal who hones his weapon against us by night become our master.

1.36.17 Agni won brave strength, Agni brought fortune to Kanva;Agni guarded Medhyatithi as a friend and the one praised in battle.

1.36.18 With Agni we call fierce Turvasha and Yadu from afar;Agni led Navavastva, Brihadratha, and Turviti to mastery over the Dasyu.

1.36.19 Manu set you down, Agni, as a light for all generations;you shone for Kanva, born of Truth, strengthened, whom the peoples honor.

1.36.20 Agni's flames blaze with strength, fearsome to resist;burn away harmful spirits and sorcerers always, every devourer.

Hymn 1.37 — Seer: Kanva Ghaura. Deities: the Maruts. Meter: Gayatri.

1.37.1 Kanvas, sing forth to the playful Marut host,unbridled, splendid in its chariots.

1.37.2 They were born with spotted steeds, spears,axes and ornaments, shining by their own light.

1.37.3 Even here I hear their whips speak in their handsas they array themselves for a brilliant journey.

1.37.4 Sing your god-given prayer to this bold host,strong, radiant in glory.

1.37.5 Praise the uninjurable cow among the cattle when the Marut host plays;it has grown strong in the taste of their jaws.

1.37.6 Who is the greatest among you, heroes, who shake heaven and earthwhen you toss them like a border cloth?

1.37.7 For your fierce journey and wrath, mortal man crouches;the mountain and hill recoil.

1.37.8 At whose movement the earth, like an aged lord of the house,shakes in fear along their paths.

1.37.9 Firm is their clan, sprung from their mother,when strength comes upon them in twofold measure.

1.37.10 Those sons of the mountain stretched upward toward the heights,setting out on their courses with a roar like cattle.

1.37.11 Even the long and broad cloud, son of the rain, unyielding,they drive forward on their journeys.

1.37.12 Maruts, by your power you have shaken the peoples;you have shaken the mountains.

1.37.13 When the Maruts go they speak together on the road;someone hears them.

1.37.14 Go swiftly with your rapid teams; you have service among the Kanvas;there take your delight.

1.37.15 There is joy for you indeed; we are among your peoplethat we may live a whole lifetime.

Hymn 1.38 — Seer: Kanva Ghaura. Deities: the Maruts. Meter: Gayatri.

1.38.1 When now, you lovers of the rite, will you hold us like a father holds a sonin his two hands, where the ritual grass is laid?

1.38.2 Where now will your journey take you, in heaven or on earth?Where do your cows rejoice?

1.38.3 Where are your new favors, Maruts, where your blessings,where all your fortunes?

1.38.4 If you, sons of Prishni, were mortal,your singer would become immortal.

1.38.5 Let your singer not be unwelcome like a beast among the grass,nor tread the path of Yama.

1.38.6 Let far-ranging ruin, so hard to overcome, not strike us down;let it perish of thirst.

1.38.7 Truly the fierce and mighty sons of Rudramake rain fall even in a windless desert.

1.38.8 Lightning bellows like a cow and follows like a mother her calfwhen their rain is loosed.

1.38.9 They make darkness even by day, with the cloud carrying water,when they drench the earth.

1.38.10 At the sound of the Maruts the whole earthly dwellingand the peoples trembled.

1.38.11 Maruts, with strong hands, journey through splendid, cloud-filled skieson unfailing paths.

1.38.12 Firm be your wheel rims, your chariots and horses;well fitted be their reins.

1.38.13 Speak aloud now in song of praise to Brihaspati,and to Agni, lovely to behold as a friend.

1.38.14 Shape praise in your mouth, spreading like Parjanya;sing a hymn worthy of Gayatri.

1.38.15 Honor the Marut host, bright, praiseworthy singers;may they grow great here for us.

Hymn 1.39 — Seer: Kanva Ghaura. Deity: Brihaspati. Meters: alternating Brihati and Satobrihati.

1.39.1 When you fling your power forth like flame from afar,by whose will, Maruts, whose beauty, toward whom do you travel, shaking all?

1.39.2 Let your weapons be steady for driving away and strong to withstand;let your praiseworthy power be yours, not the mortal trickster's.

1.39.3 When you heroes throw down what is firm and overturn what is heavy,you scatter the forests of earth and the mountain thickets.

1.39.4 No foe is found to match you in heaven or earth, destroyers of harm;let your strength serve you ever, sons of Rudra, even now unassailable.

1.39.5 They shake the mountains and split the trees;ride forth, Maruts, like gods drunk with fierce joy, with all your company.

1.39.6 You harness your spotted mares to the chariots; a red horse bears the trace;even earth has heard your passage; mortals have been afraid.

1.39.7 Rudras, we choose your swift aid for our children;come now to us with help as you came before to fearful Kanva.

1.39.8 Whether driven by you, Maruts, or driven by men, whoever seeks to harm us,scatter him with your strength, with your might and your protections.

1.39.9 Wise, worshipful ones, grant Kanva aid in full;come to us, Maruts, with unbroken help, like clouds of rain with lightning.

1.39.10 You bear undiminished might, generous shakers, undiminished force;Maruts, shoot hatred like an arrow at the hater of seers.

Hymn 1.40 — Seer: Kanva Ghaura. Deity: Brihaspati. Meters: alternating Brihati and Satobrihati.

1.40.1 Rise, Brihaspati; we who seek the divine call for you;come near, generous Maruts; Indra, hurry here beside us.

1.40.2 For a mortal speaks to you, son of strength, when wealth is at stake;let the one who calls you, Maruts, gain fine heroes and fine horses.

1.40.3 Let Brihaspati advance and divine truthful speech advance;let the gods lead our sacrifice to a manly hero rich in fivefold gifts.

1.40.4 He who gives a beautiful treasure to the singer wins undying fame;for him we sacrifice to Ila, rich in brave sons, invincible and easily invoked.

1.40.5 Now Brihaspati utters a prayer worthy of praise,where Indra, Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman, and the gods have made their homes.

1.40.6 Let us utter that blessed and unfailing prayer in assemblies, gods;welcome this word, heroes, and all your blessings will come to you.

1.40.7 Who can reach a god-seeking people? Who can reach those who spread the grass?The giver has stepped forward with his household and founded a lasting home within.

1.40.8 He comes near to royal power; through kings he strikes, and builds a safe dwelling even in danger;none can turn back or outstrip the mace-bearer in great contests or small.

Hymn 1.41 — Seer: Kanva Ghaura. Deities: Varuna, Mitra, and Aryaman; the Adityas (4–6). Meter: Gayatri.

1.41.1 The person guarded by wise Varuna, Mitra, and Aryamancan never be deceived.

1.41.2 They sustain a mortal as if in their arms and guard him from harm;uninjured, he prospers in all things.

1.41.3 These kings break through hardship and hostile forts,leading us beyond distress.

1.41.4 Smooth and without stones is the path, Adityas, for one who follows Truth;no pit lies along your road.

1.41.5 The sacrifice you guide along a straight path, Adityas,comes to you for inspiration.

1.41.6 That mortal approaches treasures, every wealth and offspring,whole and unopposed.

1.41.7 How shall we bring to fulfillment, friends, a song to Mitra and Aryaman,to the vast dominion of Varuna?

1.41.8 Let me not answer someone who strikes or curses you, gods;I seek you only with acts of kindness.

1.41.9 One should fear even a man who gives in all four directions, if he hoards in secret;one should not desire his harsh speech.

Hymn 1.42 — Seer: Kanva Ghaura. Deity: Pushan. Meter: Gayatri.

1.42.1 Pushan, child of release, take us over the roads, beyond distress;go before us, O god.

1.42.2 The evil wolf who marks us out, Pushan, the malicious one:drive him away from our road.

1.42.3 Drive the highway robber, the thieving deceiver,far away from the path.

1.42.4 Trample underfoot the burning furyof every double-speaking evildoer.

1.42.5 Wonder-worker Pushan, we seek the aid from youwith which you urged our ancestors onward.

1.42.6 Possessor of all good fortune, bearer of the golden ax,make us skillful in winning wealth.

1.42.7 Guide us past those who beset us; make our way easy and our paths good;Pushan, know your task here.

1.42.8 Lead us to good pasture without fresh fever along the road;Pushan, know your task here.

1.42.9 Give us power, fulfill us, urge us forward, fill our bellies;Pushan, know your task here.

1.43.2 May Aditi bring Rudra's favor to our beasts,to men and cattle, and to our children.

1.43.3 May Mitra and Varuna know us,may Rudra and all the gods together know us.

1.43.4 Rudra, lord of song and wisdom, with soothing medicine:we seek his favor for peace and well-being.

1.43.5 He gleams like the radiant sun and glitters like gold,best treasure among the gods.

1.43.6 May he bring peace to our horse and ease for ram and ewe,for men and women and cattle.

1.43.7 Soma, establish among us the glory of a hundred men,great renown and mighty manhood.

1.43.8 Soma, let no obstructors or grudging foes lead us astray;share out the prize to us, drop of soma.

1.43.9 Your children in the farthest realm of immortality and Truth,Soma, adorning the summit and center, know your desire.

1.44.2 Agni, you are the beloved messenger, bearer of oblations and charioteer of rites;with the Ashvins and Ushas, place great renown and brave strength among us.

1.44.3 Today we choose Agni as messenger, a treasure loved by many,smoke-bannered, light-path blazing at the break of day, glory of the sacrifices.

1.44.4 I praise Agni at daybreak, finest and youngest guest, well offered to, beloved by the giver,Jatavedas, ready to go to the gods.

1.44.5 I shall praise you, Agni, whose sustenance belongs to all, immortal,immortal guardian, worthy of sacrifice, supreme performer and bearer of offerings.

1.44.6 Be gracious to your singer, youngest, honey-tongued and well served;lengthen Praskanva's days so he may live, honoring the divine race.

1.44.7 The peoples kindle you as their all-knowing invoker;bring here the wise gods swiftly, Agni much invoked.

1.44.8 The Kanvas, who have pressed soma, kindle you in the dawns of night,Agni, bearer of offerings, together with Savitar, Ushas, the Ashvins, and Bhaga.

1.44.9 You are the lord of rites, Agni, the messenger of peoples;awake at dawn, bring the heaven-seeing gods to drink soma today.

1.44.10 Before the first dawns, radiant Agni, you blazed for all to see;you are protector in the settlements, priest before the people, human at sacrifices.

1.44.11 We set you here as the one who completes the sacrifice, Agni, invoker and minister,as Manu did: perceptive, lively, deathless messenger.

1.44.12 When you travel as the gods' messenger within, priest before the people, friend of mighty Mitra,Agni's flames flash like rushing waves of a river.

1.44.13 Hear us with attentive ears, Agni, and come with your fellow gods;let Mitra and Aryaman, travelers at dawn, sit on the ritual grass for the rite.

1.44.14 Let generous Maruts, with Agni as their tongue, hear the praise and grow through Truth;let Varuna, keeper of ordinances, drink soma with the Ashvins and Ushas.

1.45.3 Jatavedas, great in ordinance, hear Praskanva's callas you heard Priyamedha, Atri, Virupa, and Angiras.

1.45.4 The Priyamedhas, loud in song, called to Agni for help,reigning over rites with a brilliant flame.

1.45.5 Fed with ghee and ever near us, listen well to these songswith which Kanva's sons call upon you for help.

1.45.6 People in their settlements call on you, most splendid in fame,flame-haired Agni, loved by many, to carry their offerings.

1.45.7 Inspired poets have set you down in heavenly rites as invoker and minister,richest finder of treasures, far-reaching, ever listening, Agni.

1.45.8 Inspired pressers of soma have called you to the offering,Agni, who carry oblations and shine greatly for mortal givers.

1.45.9 Child of strength, present one, seat the divine people here todayupon the ritual grass to drink soma in the morning.

Hymn 1.46 — Seer: Praskanva Kanva. Deities: the Ashvins. Meter: Gayatri.

1.46.1 This peerless Ushas dawns, beloved daughter of heaven;I praise you two Ashvins greatly.

1.46.2 Wonder-workers born of the river, traversers of wealth,you gods find treasures through thought.

1.46.3 Your voices sound out on the high plateau at dawnwhen your chariot flies through the sky.

1.46.4 With offerings the lover of waters brings fullness, you nourished heroes,the father of Kutsa's people.

1.46.5 Nasatyas, receivers of our thoughts and voices of prayer,drink the soma boldly.

1.46.6 Ashvins, grant us that shining nourishmentwhich carried us through the darkness.

1.46.7 Come to us in the boat of our thoughts to reach the farther shore;harness your chariot, Ashvins.

1.46.8 Your oar is broad as heaven, your chariot at the river's crossing;the soma drops were harnessed through insight.

1.46.9 Kanvas, drops of heavenly wealth, by the rivers' dwelling,where do you two set your own shelter?

1.46.10 The light has come for the stalk; gold faces the sun;the dark one gazed out with his tongue.

1.46.11 The good path of Truth has appeared for reaching the farther shore;heaven's open highway has been seen.

1.46.12 The singer decks out each act of help from the Ashvinswhile they swell with soma's delight.

1.46.13 Desiring the soma to drink at the house of Vivasvat,come, bringers of good, with our song, as you did for Manu.

1.46.14 Ushas has followed your splendor, far-ranging ones, and drawn near;through the nights you win what is true.

1.47.3 Ashvins, growing through Truth, drink the sweetest soma;then come to the worshiper today, wonder-workers, bearing wealth on your chariot.

1.47.4 At the threefold seat on the ritual grass, all-knowing ones, moisten our sacrifice with honey;the Kanvas who press soma and face the light call you, Ashvins.

1.47.5 With the protections with which you aided Kanva, Ashvins,guard us, lords of beauty, and drink soma, you who grow through Truth.

1.47.6 Wonder-working Ashvins, carry wealth and nourishment on your chariot to Sudas;set much-desired riches here for us from sea or heaven.

1.47.7 Whether you dwell afar, Nasatyas, or among the Turvashas,come from there in your well-turned chariot together with the sun's rays.

1.47.8 Let your horses, glory of sacrifice, bear you near to the pressing;generous heroes, bring food to the good doer and sit upon the ritual grass.

1.47.9 Come in that sun-bright chariot, Nasatyas,in which you have always carried wealth to your worshiper, to drink soma's honey.

1.47.10 With hymns and songs we call you near to help, rich ones;in the beloved assembly of the Kanvas you have always drunk soma, Ashvins.

1.48.1 Dawn on us with beauty, Ushas, daughter of heaven;with great splendor, radiant one, and wealth, generous goddess.

1.48.2 Your horse-rich, cattle-rich gifts bring all good things, abundantly stirring men to rise;rouse truthful speech before me, Ushas; stir the generosity of patrons.

1.48.3 Ushas has dawned and will dawn again, goddess who speeds the chariots;at her approach men seek renown as they venture on the sea.

1.48.4 Ushas, the generous wise turn their minds to giving as you set forth;here Kanva, greatest of Kanvas, celebrates their names among men.

1.48.5 Like a lovely woman, generous Ushas arrives and makes abundance hers;she wakes the walking host of men and sends birds flying.

1.48.6 She sends companions and wayfarers on their separate ways, never delaying her own course;at your dawning, bringer of prizes, no winged birds sit still.

1.48.7 From far away, from where the sun rises, this fortunate Ushas has harnessedher hundred chariots and travels among human beings.

1.48.8 The whole moving world bows before her for sight; the gracious one makes light;wealthy Ushas, daughter of heaven, drives away hatred and deceit at dawn.

1.48.9 Shine out with your lovely radiance, Ushas, daughter of heaven;bring us abundant good fortune as you dawn amid heavenly hymns.

1.48.10 All breath and life depend upon you as you dawn, gracious one;hear our call on your great chariot, radiant one of splendid gifts.

1.48.11 Ushas, win the prize renowned among humankind;bring it to the rites of those who do good and sing to you as offerers.

1.48.13 She whose rosy beams appeared auspicious before us:may Ushas give us lovely wealth, desired by all, easy to obtain.

1.49.3 Even winged birds, two-footed and four-footed beings, bright one,set out as you dawn from heaven's edges in due season.

1.50.1 His rays lift the god Surya, who knows all beings,for all the world to see.

1.50.2 Stars vanish with the nights like thievesbefore the all-seeing sun.

1.50.3 His lights, his rays, have appeared among the peoples,shining like fires.

1.50.4 Swift, visible to all, maker of light, Surya,you illuminate the entire bright realm.

1.50.5 You rise facing the gods' peoples, facing humanity,facing everyone, so that they may see the sunlight.

1.50.6 With the pure eye by which you watch busy humankind,you gaze upon them, Varuna.

1.50.7 You cross heaven and the wide expanse, measuring days with nights,watching generations, Surya.

1.50.8 Seven bay mares carry you in your chariot, divine Surya,you seer with flaming hair.

1.50.9 The sun harnessed seven pure daughters of his chariot;with those self-harnessed steeds he rides.

1.50.10 Rising above darkness, seeing the higher light,we have reached Surya, god among gods, the highest light.

1.50.11 As you rise today, O sun, friend of greatness, climbing the higher heaven,destroy my heart disease and my yellow sickness.

1.50.12 We place my yellow sickness among parrots and yellow birds;in golden birds we deposit my yellow sickness.

1.50.13 This sun has risen with all his strength;may he subdue the one who hates me, and may I not submit to my enemy.

Hymn 1.51 — Seer: Savya Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meters: Jagati, Trishtubh (14–15).

1.51.1 Celebrate in song that much-invoked ram, Indra worthy of hymns, an ocean of wealth;praise the inspired one, greatest giver, whom the heavens cannot contain for human enjoyment.

1.51.2 His protections, his ready help, gathered around him, wrapped in might filling the sky;wise Ribhus mounted Indra, hundred-powered, with swift true speech that stirs joy.

1.51.3 You opened the cattle pen for the Angirases, and made a way for Atri through a hundred doors;you brought wealth to Vimada and moved the mountain in battle for the one longing for it.

1.51.4 You opened the barriers holding back the waters; you held rich abundance on the mountain;when you killed Vritra the serpent by your might, Indra, you raised the sun into heaven for sight.

1.51.5 With your powers you drove down the sorcerers who cried out from ambush under their own laws;you broke Pipru's fortresses for Nriman and helped Rijishvan in killing Dasyus.

1.51.6 You guarded Kutsa in battles against Shushna, and handed Shambara over to Atithigva;you trod down mighty Arbuda; from ancient times you were born to defeat the Dasyus.

1.51.7 In you all powers are held together; your bounty rejoices in the drinking of soma;your mace in your arms is known: cut away all your enemy's virile strength.

1.51.8 Distinguish the Aryas and those who are Dasyus; bring the lawless under the worshiper on the grass;stand strong, urged on by the sacrificer; all these things are yours in festive assemblies.

1.51.9 Bringing the breakers of ordinances under the obedient, Indra broke those without help through his allies;even while the old one grew, the praising ant struck down the hoarders and reached heaven.

1.51.10 When Ushana fashioned your strength together with force, your might pressed apart both worlds with majesty;your steeds, manly and yoked by thought like the wind, bore you growing toward glory.

1.51.11 When Indra rejoiced most beside Ushana Kavya, he mounted the curved ridge upon ridge;the fierce, swift one released the streams of waters and broke apart Shushna's fortified towns.

1.51.12 You stand in the chariot among strong-handed ones, rejoicing in Sharyata's offerings;Indra, as you love the soma pressers, you climb to heaven in unbridled praise.

1.51.13 You gave young Vrichaya to great-speaking Kakshivant as he pressed soma, Indra;you became the wife of Vrishanashva, wise one: all your deeds deserve proclamation at pressings.

1.51.14 Indra is kindled among the wise, praised among the Pajras like a post before the house;longing for horses, cattle, chariots, and wealth, Indra holds the riches that move forth.

1.51.15 This reverence has been spoken to the bull, sovereign in his own right, truly strong;Indra, let us and all our heroes dwell with generous patrons in your shelter in this gathering.

Hymn 1.52 — Seer: Savya Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meters: Jagati, Trishtubh (13–15).

1.52.1 Honor well that ram who finds the sun, whose hundred powers rise together;let us turn Indra toward us for aid with beautiful songs, like a horse for the prize, a chariot drawn to the call.

1.52.2 Unshaken as a mountain on its foundations, he grew mighty with a thousand protections;when Indra killed Vritra who penned up the rivers, he loosed the floods, exulting in the drink.

1.52.3 He opened the gates within gates, the udder that gleams below, growing glad with wise men's joy;I call that Indra with finely made thought, most generous giver, filled with the draught.

1.52.4 His own blessings fill him in heaven like streams filling the sea;his protections stood beside him for Vritra's slaughter, his windless power, straight in purpose.

1.52.5 His protections sped like racers downhill toward their own outpouring as he fought in ecstasy;when mace-bearing Indra, emboldened by the drink, broke Vala's defenses like Trita.

1.52.6 His fierce power courses around and flashes, having surrounded the waters and settled at the base of heaven;when you struck Vritra's jaw with thunder on the slope, Indra, hard to grasp.

1.52.7 Your strengthening prayers, Indra, cannot sink you, any more than waves sink a lake;even Tvashtar increased your allied might and fashioned the mace, overpowering in strength.

1.52.8 You killed Vritra with your bays, Indra, with purpose gathered, making a path for the waters for Manu;you grasped the iron mace in your arms and held the heavenly sun for sight.

1.52.9 When men in fear raised the shining great light of heaven worthy of praise,the Maruts, man-conquering in human battles, rejoiced with Indra's helpers.

1.52.10 Even heaven shook in fear at the sound of the serpent, and your mace, Indra;when Vritra pressed against both worlds, you smashed his head in the joy of pressed soma.

1.52.11 If the earth with ten arms and all the peoples stretched out all the days,your renowned strength, generous Indra, would still rise to heaven, spreading by might.

1.52.12 Beyond the upper air's expanse, you made your power manifest, bold-minded for aid;you made earth the measure of your strength and encompass waters, sun, and heaven.

1.52.13 You are earth's measure; you became lord of the high, great heroes;you filled the whole midair with greatness; truly no other is like you.

1.52.14 Neither heaven and earth matched his breadth nor rivers reached the expanse's end;nor did his outpouring when he fought in delight: alone he made all else in proper order.

1.52.15 Here the Maruts sang in battle and all gods rejoiced with you,when you, Indra, struck Vritra's turned back with the blazing weapon.

Hymn 1.53 — Seer: Savya Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meters: Jagati, Trishtubh (10–11).

1.53.1 Now let us bring a great word, our songs, for Indra in Vivasvat's house;he finds treasure even for the sleeping; false praise is not worthy of wealth-givers.

1.53.2 You are the door to horses, the door to cattle, Indra, and to barley, lord of treasure;generous teacher, giving freely from heaven, friend to friends: him we praise.

1.53.3 Powerful, many-doing, most resplendent Indra, all this wealth is known to be yours;gather it from there and bring it by your conquering might; do not leave your eager singer's desire unfulfilled.

1.53.4 With these bright days and soma drops, cheerful, we keep want away with cattle and horses;with Indra and the drops we break the Dasyu, rid of hate, and seize our food.

1.53.5 With Indra let us take wealth and sustenance, many splendid prizes facing heaven;with divine foresight and hero's strength, with cattle at the front and horses, let us grasp them.

1.53.6 Those joys strengthened you, those bull-like somas in the battles with Vritra, true lord;for the singer seated on grass you laid low ten Vritras and thousands without resistance.

1.53.7 Fearlessly you advance from battle to battle; with your might you destroy one fort after another;when, Indra, allied from afar in friendship, you brought down the sorcerer named Namuchi.

1.53.8 You killed Karanja and Parnaya in the bold course of Atithigva;you broke down Vangrida's hundred forts, though Rijishvan encircled you.

1.53.9 You met these twenty tribal kings as they came against their ally Sushravas;with your chariot wheel you laid low sixty thousand and ninety-nine, renowned one, in the hard passage.

1.53.10 You guarded Sushravas by your protections, Turvayana by your shields, Indra;you brought Kutsa, Atithigva, and Ayu under this great young king.

1.53.11 Indra, may we be the happiest of your friends, turning upward under divine guard;we shall praise you, bearing brave sons and ever-longer life through you.

Hymn 1.54 — Seer: Savya Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meters: Jagati, Trishtubh (6, 8–9, 11).

1.54.1 Generous one, do not leave us in distress in this battle: the end of your strength cannot be reached;you made rivers roar and forests resound: how could lands not tremble in fear?

1.54.2 Sing to mighty, powerful Indra, honor and praise him who listens,the bull who boldly arrays the two worlds with might and his own virile power.

1.54.3 Lift a mighty word of vigor to heaven, to him whose royal power and bold mind are his own;renowned, godly, enlarged in stature, he is the bull before the chariot and its bays.

1.54.4 You made the great summit of heaven shake and broke Shambara beneath with your bold self;when you battle sorcerers with your sharpened lightning in hand, intoxicated and fearless.

1.54.5 When you split apart what rests upon the storm's summit, even noisy Shushna who roars through the woods,with your forward-driving mind and spreading force—even today, who can withstand you?

1.54.6 You guarded heroic Turvasha and Yadu; you guarded Turviti and Vayya, hundred-powered one;you helped Etasha win his chariot in the battle for wealth and shattered ninety-nine forts.

1.54.7 He is truly king and lord of the good, making the people thrive; the giver who follows his command;for him who praises with hymns and gifts, rain clouds swell from heaven above.

1.54.8 Unequaled be their dominion, unequaled their wisdom, soma-drinker, and deeds as well,those givers who increase your vast, lasting royal power and manly strength, Indra.

1.54.9 For you are these many draughts pressed from stone, settled in bowls and cups for Indra to drink;drink deep and fulfill their longing, then set your mind on giving wealth.

1.54.10 Darkness stood upon the water's deceptive barrier, the mountain within Vritra's bellies;Indra struck them all, rivers held captive by a wall, into their downward courses.

1.54.11 Set growing glory among us, Indra, vast sovereignty that conquers peoples;guard our generous ones, protect our patrons, and grant us wealth, good children, and food.

Hymn 1.55 — Seer: Savya Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Jagati.

1.55.1 Even heaven's breadth is less than his; earth cannot match Indra's greatness;terrible, powerful, blazing before the peoples, he sharpens his mace like a bull his horns.

1.55.2 Like rivers reaching toward the sea, he gathers far-flung reaches to himself;Indra grows bull-like to drink the soma, warlike from of old, praised for his might.

1.55.3 You rule that mountain, Indra, for enjoyment, as lord of the laws of great manly strength;you are known by heroic deeds among the gods, fierce and set before every undertaking.

1.55.4 In the woods, reverent ones address him; among the people they tell of Indra's lovely strength;the bull becomes eager, beloved bull, when the generous one drives the milk cow to safety.

1.55.5 With majesty he makes mighty contests for the peoples, a fighter strong in force;and then they put their faith in blazing Indra, who strikes weapon upon weapon with the mace.

1.55.6 Longing for glory, he destroys man-made dwellings by the strength growing in him;he makes unthreatening lights for the sacrificer and wisely releases the waters to run.

1.55.7 Soma-drinker, let your mind be set on giving; turn your bays this way at the sound of praise;your keen charioteers, Indra, are not overtaken by swift and watchful ones.

1.55.8 In your hands you carry inexhaustible wealth, in your body invincible power;your many designs, Indra, are like sheltered wells crafted within you.

Hymn 1.56 — Seer: Savya Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Jagati.

1.56.1 Here is the conqueror rising over many enemies like a racehorse straining toward a mare;he gives great skill the golden draught to drink, turning his chariot and harnessing the bays with craft.

1.56.2 Songs of praise and nourishment surround him as rivers surround the sea, eager for gain;seekers climb toward him as toward a mountain, this lord of skill and counsel and strength.

1.56.3 Great is this conqueror, dustless in manly power; his swift strength flashes like a mountain's peak;by it, drunk on soma, he bound iron-armed sorcerer Shushna in his own bonds.

1.56.4 When divine strength came to help him grow, it joined Indra as the sun joins Ushas;he drives back darkness with bold strength and raises dust with vast tumult.

1.56.5 When you set the firm expanse of heaven across the supporting sky by your greatness,Indra, rejoicing in the sunlight and soma, you killed Vritra and loosed the flood of waters.

1.56.6 You set heaven's support by strength, Indra, and the mighty foundations of earth;in the joy of the pressed drink you sent the waters flowing, shattered Vritra's side to pieces.

Hymn 1.57 — Seer: Savya Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Jagati.

1.57.1 I offer thought to the most generous, great in wealth, true in strength and powerful,whose irresistible bounty, like waters on a slope, lies open to every life for vigor.

1.57.2 Then everything obeys your desire; the pressings of those bearing oblations flow like water downhill,when Indra's golden mace, beloved and shattering, clashes upon the mountain.

1.57.3 Bring reverence to this fearsome one at the rite, lovely as Ushas and worthy of praise;his dwelling was made a light for glory, his name a sign of Indra's power, like swift bay horses.

1.57.4 These are your people, Indra much praised, following you, rich and mighty one;no other lover of song can bear our songs: welcome our words as earth welcomes rain.

1.57.5 Your heroic deeds are many, Indra: fulfill your singer's longing, generous one;broad heaven has followed your valor, and this earth has bent to your might.

1.57.6 That mighty, vast mountain you hacked to pieces with your mace, mace-bearer Indra;you released the pent-up waters to run and gathered all strength to yourself alone.

Hymn 1.58 — Seer: Nodhas Gautama. Deity: Agni. Meters: Jagati, Trishtubh (6–9).

1.58.1 Even now the strong immortal bursts forth, when the invoker became Vivasvat's messenger;by the most direct paths he measured the air, seeking the gods with oblations.

1.58.2 Joining himself to his own home, ageless, he stands among brushwood, intent on devouring;he shines like a horse on a rain-damp slope, roaring like thunder from heaven's heights.

1.58.3 Working with Rudras and Vasus, installed as priest before the people, the immortal invoker wins riches;like a chariot among the clans, the god goes forth, continually bringing men desired wealth.

1.58.4 Wind-driven, he stands among brushwood, roaring with wanton tongues and cutting flames;when you rush bull-like through the woods, Agni, your path turns black, your waves gleam red, ageless one.

1.58.5 With burning jaws he runs through woods driven by wind, like a bull dominant in the herd;his force sweeps across the endless air; things still and moving and winged flee in fear.

1.58.6 The Bhrigus placed you among men as lovely wealth easy for the people to call upon;Agni, chosen invoker and guest, gentle as a friend to the heavenly race.

1.58.7 The invoker with seven tongues, best sacrificer, whom singers choose at rites,Agni, bringer of all treasures, I honor with offerings and seek as my jewel.

1.58.8 Give your singers unbroken shelter today, child of strength, friendly in might;Agni, rescue the one who praises from distress, son of nourishment, with iron forts.

1.58.9 Be shelter to your singer, bright one; generous one, give shelter to the generous;rescue the singer from distress, Agni; may the one rich in insight come swiftly at dawn.

Hymn 1.59 — Seer: Nodhas Gautama. Deity: Agni Vaishvanara. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.59.1 Other fires are branches of yours, Agni, and in you all immortals rejoice;Vaishvanara, you are the peoples' navel, holding humanity together like a pillar.

1.59.2 Agni became heaven's summit and earth's navel, then the messenger of both worlds;the gods begot you as a god, Vaishvanara, a light for the Arya.

1.59.3 In Vaishvanara Agni all treasures are held firm as rays within the sun;those in mountains, plants, waters, and humans: you are king over them.

1.59.4 Great as the two worlds for their son are the songs to the human invoker skilled in rites;many mighty songs for Vaishvanara, greatest hero, true in power and bearing sunlight.

1.59.5 Your greatness extends even beyond mighty heaven, Jatavedas Vaishvanara;you are king of human peoples; through battle you have opened a way for the gods.

1.59.6 Now I shall proclaim the greatness of the bull whom the Purus join, the Vritra-slayer;Agni Vaishvanara killed the Dasyu, shook the heights, and broke Shambara down.

1.59.7 Vaishvanara, bright and worshipful, renowned among all peoples and the Bharadvajas;Agni, in the home of Shatavani and Purunitha, is praised with hundreds of gifts and truthful speech.

Hymn 1.60 — Seer: Nodhas Gautama. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.60.1 Matarishvan carried the famous bearer of offerings, sign of the assembly, swift messenger who arrives at once,twice born, praised like treasure, and gave him as a gift to the Bhrigu.

1.60.2 Those who bear oblations and long for him, mortals of both kinds, follow his guidance;the invoker seated before heaven, lord of the clan among clans, must be asked for wisdom.

1.60.3 May fresh praise reach him, born in the heart, honey-tongued and well acclaimed among us,whom the human ministers of the rite, givers of oblations, brought to birth in the gathering.

1.60.4 The pure, desired treasure was set among mortals as their chosen invoker;Agni, guardian of the house and lord of the household, became lord of riches within homes.

1.60.5 We Gautamas proclaim you lord of riches with thoughts, Agni;we adorn you as a swift bearer of prizes; may the one rich in insight come swiftly at dawn.

Hymn 1.61 — Seer: Nodhas Gautama. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.61.1 For him, strong and swift, I raise my praise like a gift, to the great one;for the thirsty singer of hymns I bring my most generous prayers to Indra.

1.61.2 For him I bring a hymn like an offering, a beautiful song of defense;for Indra, ancient lord, poets polish their thoughts with heart and mind.

1.61.3 For him I carry that peerless song which wins the sun with my mouth,the most generous of songs, with well-turned thoughts to magnify the patron.

1.61.4 For him I send the hymn forth like a carpenter a chariot into battle;all my fine songs for Indra, bearer of praise and wise, fill the world.

1.61.5 For him I anoint the song with my tongue, like a steed for fame, for Indra,to honor the hero who dwells among gifts, destroyer of forts whose fame is sung.

1.61.6 For him Tvashtar fashioned the finest mace, sounding out for battle,with which its lord and striker pierced even Vritra's vital part.

1.61.7 At his mother's pressings he drank the mighty nourishment at once, rushing near;stronger Vishnu stole the cooked food and the archer shot the boar through the mountain.

1.61.8 For him even the divine wives sang a song for Indra when the serpent fell;broad heaven and earth he clasped, yet they could not encompass his greatness.

1.61.9 His greatness extended past heaven, earth, and midair;self-ruling Indra, praised everywhere at home, was carried to battle in the sunlight.

1.61.10 With his strength Indra hacked down Vritra, who dried up the world, with his mace;he released the waters like enclosed cows, eager to win fame by giving.

1.61.11 The rivers rejoiced in his splendor when he surrounded him with the mace;he gave to the worshiper as sovereign and conqueror, and made a ford for Turviti.

1.61.12 Against Vritra he hurried with the mace, bearer of sovereign power;he cleft the mountain as one cuts a cow's joints and sent floods of waters running.

1.61.13 Tell of his first deeds, the swift one's works, with new hymns:when he brandished weapons in battle and drove away enemies who rose against him.

1.61.14 Before his terror solid mountains, heaven, and earth themselves shook at his birth;Nodhas sang to the loving one's protection and at once found heroic strength.

1.61.15 For him alone to take, as sole lord over plenty, these rewards were laid out;Indra aided Etasha when he challenged the sun, striving for a fine team of horses.

1.61.16 Thus the Gautamas have made these fine songs for your harnessed bays, Indra;place thought of every form within them; may the one rich in insight come swiftly at dawn.

Hymn 1.62 — Seer: Nodhas Gautama. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.62.1 For the strong one we fashion a mighty song of praise, for the lover of song, as the Angirases did;with beautiful songs we honor the hymn-worthy man famed abroad.

1.62.2 Bring great homage, a mighty chant of praise to the mighty one;with it our path-finding fathers, the ancient Angirases, singing, found the cows.

1.62.3 Through Indra's and the Angirases' seeking, Sarama found nourishment for her offspring;Brihaspati broke the rock and found the cows, and the heroes bellowed with the cattle.

1.62.4 With seven inspired singers, with praise and song, with ninefold singers raising the sound to heaven,you, mighty Indra, split Vala's cavern with a roar and the swiftly moving tenfold singers.

1.62.5 Praised with the Angirases, wonder-worker, you opened darkness with Ushas, the sun, and cattle;you spread the earth's heights, Indra, and propped up heaven's upper expanse.

1.62.6 That was his most worthy deed, the wonder-worker's loveliest marvel:when in the hollow he swelled four rivers, their streams flowing with honey.

1.62.7 Ayasya split apart the two eternal sisters who shared a home, with hymns of praise;like Bhaga in highest heaven, the wonder-worker upheld the two worlds.

1.62.8 From of old the two young ones, heaven and earth, unlike in form, renew themselves by their own motion;with dark and bright forms, Night and Ushas follow each other in turn.

1.62.9 The skillful son maintained their ancient friendship by his strength, working wonders;within raw cows you placed ripe milk, shining white among the dark red ones.

1.62.10 Ancient sisters the rivers, untroubled, immortal, guard their ordinances with strength;thousands upon thousands of them serve him, sisters like wives to a husband, without shame.

1.62.11 Ever young and desiring riches, new thoughts rushed to you with reverence and hymns;like eager wives toward their eager husband, powerful thoughts reach out and touch you.

1.62.12 Your treasures have long been in your hands and never dwindle or wear out, wonder-worker;you are radiant, wise, discerning Indra; teach us, mighty one, by your powers.

1.62.13 For him, Indra, Gautama fashioned a new prayer for the harnessing of your bays;for our good guidance, mighty one, may Nodhas, rich in insight, come swiftly at dawn.

Hymn 1.63 — Seer: Nodhas Gautama. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.63.1 You are great, Indra: at your birth you set heaven and earth in their strength;even all the massive, firm mountains shook like specks in fear of you.

1.63.2 When your bay horses break loose, Indra, your singer places the mace in your arms;with it, tireless in purpose, you stormed many enemy forts, much-invoked one.

1.63.3 You are true, Indra, bold; you are rich in craft, manly and triumphant;you killed Shushna amid hardship for young Kutsa in the shining battle.

1.63.4 You did that, Indra, in aid of your friend, when, mace-bearer and bull in action, you subdued Vritra;when, hero of strong spirit, you cast far off the Dasyus, ungodly from birth.

1.63.5 You were there, Indra, to avert injury even when mortals were strong and unkind;like a timber cutter, mace-bearer, cut our enemies away from our advancing steeds.

1.63.6 You are the one men invoke, Indra, in the battle for waters and the radiant sunlight;your own unfailing aid, self-sustained one, has proved ours in contests for the prize.

1.63.7 You, mace-bearer, smashed seven forts in war for Purukutsa;you made a way for Sudas, king, and the Puru people, as one parts grass and trouble.

1.63.8 You swelled our splendid nourishment, Indra, far-ranging one, like waters;by it, hero, you send us strength to pour forth everywhere, as from a full vessel.

1.63.9 The Gautamas have made prayers for you, Indra, offered in honor of your bays;bring us lovely treasure; may the one rich in insight come swiftly at dawn.

Hymn 1.64 — Seer: Nodhas Gautama. Deities: the Maruts. Meters: Jagati, Trishtubh (15).

1.64.1 Nodhas, bring a fine hymn for the bull-like Marut host, joyous and wise;like a skilled worker shaping water with his hands, I shape songs in the assemblies with my mind.

1.64.2 They were born from heaven, high bulls, Rudra's young sons, lords without stain;blazing and pure like suns, powerful like drops of rain, terrifying in form.

1.64.3 Young, ageless sons of Rudra, unerring in their attack, they rose like mountains;by their majesty they shake all solid earthly beings and the heavenly ones.

1.64.4 They adorn their bodies with bright ornaments, placing gold plates on their breasts;spears gleam on their shoulders; by their own nature the heroes were born together from heaven.

1.64.5 Lords who shake and destroy harm, they fashioned winds and lightning with their power;they milk the heavens' udders, they travel round the earth and fill it with milk.

1.64.6 The generous Maruts swell the waters with milk like ghee as they appear in gatherings;they lead the racing horse to rainfall and milk the inexhaustible thunderous spring.

1.64.7 Mighty sorcerous buffaloes, bright in color, strong as mountains, swift to strike;like wild elephants you devour forests when you yoke your powers to the red mares.

1.64.8 You bellow like lions, discerning ones, handsome as finely painted figures, knowing all;you speed the nights with your spotted mares and spears, together fierce in conflict.

1.64.9 Speak to Heaven and Earth, glorious hosts, man-conquering heroes fierce in power;on your chariots, Maruts, the flashing splendor stands like lightning on the seats.

1.64.10 All-knowing, rich and united, joined in magnificent strength,these heroes with endless vigor hold arrows in their hands, bull-like eaters.

1.64.11 With golden wheel rims they make their way upward, growing with milk, striking mountains like roadblocks;vigorous, untiring, rushing together, they dislodge what is firm, fierce Maruts with glittering spears.

1.64.12 We praise with invocation the bold, pure, forest-ranging son of Rudra, watching humanity;seek the powerful Marut host that crosses the sky, tempestuous bulls, for glory.

1.64.13 The mortal you guard, Maruts, surpasses other men in strength;he carries off the prize with horses, wins wealth with heroes, lives and prospers, rich in counsel.

1.64.14 Place among our patrons, Maruts, power repeated in battles, unconquerable, radiant;may we nurture for a hundred winters sons and descendants who win wealth and praise before all peoples.

1.64.15 Now place among us firm wealth rich in heroes, Maruts, that overcomes distress,wealth by thousands and hundreds that grows; may the one rich in insight come swiftly at dawn.

1.65.4 The swelling waters, praising, nourished him well, nobly born in the womb, the seat of Truth.

1.65.5 Lovely as nourishment, broad as a dwelling, abundant as a mountain, and kind as rushing water.

1.65.6 Like a racehorse on its course, released for its run, like a raging river—who can restrain him?

1.65.7 Kinsman of rivers, like a brother to his sisters, he eats forests as a king eats tribute.

1.65.8 When, driven by the wind, he spreads through the forests, Agni eats the hair of the earth.

1.65.9 He breathes in the waters, resting like a swan; keenest in thought, he wakes before the people.

1.65.10 Like Soma the wise one, born of Truth; like a young beast, he shines far and wide.

1.66.4 Praised among the clans like a chanting seer, like a cherished racer he grants vigor.

1.66.5 His flame is hard to approach, his purpose constant; like a wife in her home he is ready for all.

1.66.6 When he glows, shining among the peoples, golden as a chariot, fierce in battles.

1.66.7 Like an advancing army he shows his strength, like an archer's flash, face ablaze.

1.66.8 Born, he is Yama, Yama in begetting, a lover of maidens, a husband of wives.

1.66.9 We come to him from our homes; cattle come to him when he is kindled.

1.66.10 Like a roaring river he ran downward; cows lowed at the sight of the sun.

Hymn 1.67 — Seer: Parashara Shaktya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Dvipada Viraj.

1.67.1 Born among woods, a friend among mortals, he chooses obedience like a righteous king.

1.67.2 Gracious as a safe home, kindly in purpose, wise and self-possessed, he became invoker and bearer of offerings.

1.67.3 Holding every strength in his hand, seated in hiding, he has gathered the gods together.

1.67.4 Here men find the inspirer of thought as they speak prayers fashioned in the heart.

1.67.5 Unborn, he upheld the broad earth and propped up heaven with true prayers.

1.67.6 Guard the beloved tracks of cattle, Agni, guardian of all life; you have gone from hiding place to hiding place.

1.67.7 Whoever recognized him dwelling in hiding and came to the stream of Truth—

1.67.8 Those who divide rightly and follow Truth, to them he spoke of treasures.

1.67.9 With his greatness he grows among plants, within offspring and the power of begetting.

1.67.10 A light in the waters, keeper of all life in the home; sages made him like a dwelling in accord.

Hymn 1.68 — Seer: Parashara Shaktya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Dvipada Viraj.

1.68.1 Preparing his feast, he took his stand and ranged through heaven; he unveiled nights for the still and moving.

1.68.2 When he alone became god among all these gods through greatness,

1.68.3 then all accepted your purpose, O god, when living flame was born from dry wood.

1.68.4 All share the name of divinity, following Truth, immortal through their own ways.

1.68.5 Truth's command, Truth's thought: sustaining all life, they accomplished every work.

1.68.6 Whoever gives to you or offers you worship, bestow discerning riches upon him.

1.68.7 The invoker seated among Manu's descendants is indeed lord of their riches now.

1.68.8 They desire seed in one another's bodies; the wise know each other through their own skill.

1.71.1 Desiring wives approached their beloved one, their eternal lord, sharing his home;like cows before brightening Ushas, the sisters welcomed the dark and ruddy one.

1.71.2 Our ancestral Angirases broke the solid, stubborn rock with hymns and a roar;they made a path for us to vast heaven, found day and sunlight, a sign of cattle.

1.71.3 Upholding Truth, winning his thought like treasure, the noble workers bore their offering;never thirsty, they went toward divine birth, nourishing it with oblations.

1.71.4 When Matarishvan kindled him and divided his fire, he became a white victor in every house;then the Bhrigus took on his embassy, joining a king more powerful than themselves.

1.71.5 When the knowing one made the sky a stream of nourishment for his great father,the bold archer launched a flash for him, and the god placed radiance in his own daughter.

1.71.6 The one whose home shines for you, Agni, who gives homage through eager days,increase his life in double measure; let the one you urge ride with riches.

1.71.7 All nourishments flow toward Agni like seven mighty rivers rushing to the sea;let no kinship deceive our hopes; knowing one, find protection among the gods.

1.71.8 When luminous vigor reached the lord of men for sustenance, heaven poured pure seed nearby;Agni birthed a young, blameless host, skilled in thought, and stirred it into life.

1.71.9 Like thought, he crosses the road at once, alone and ever ruling over the sun's treasure;kingly Mitra and Varuna, gracious in hand, guard the beloved immortal among the cows.

1.71.10 Agni, do not forget our ancestral friendships, knowing seer that you are;age erases beauty like a cloud: consider us before that curse falls.

Hymn 1.72 — Seer: Parashara Shaktya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.72.1 Holding in his hand the seers' ancient works, many and manly,Agni became lord of riches, making all immortal things forever.

1.72.2 All the wise immortals searched and could not find the calf moving around us;weary trackers, masters of thought, stood upon Agni's lovely highest track.

1.72.3 When three autumns, Agni, they sought you and honored you, pure ones, with ghee,they took sacrificial names and gave birth to their nobly formed bodies.

1.72.4 The great two worlds, knowing each other, bore forth the Rudra-born, worthy of sacrifice;a mortal half understood and found Agni standing in his highest place.

1.72.5 Recognizing him, they sit down close, bowing to one worthy of honor with their wives;they made their bodies their own, guarding a friend in the blink of an eye.

1.72.6 When the gods of sacrifice found the three times seven hidden steps in you,they guarded immortality together with them; guard our cattle, things still and moving.

1.72.7 Knowing the ways of people, Agni, you made abundant provisions for life;knowing the paths leading to gods, you became tireless messenger and bearer of offerings.

1.72.8 The wise seven rivers from heaven recognized the doors to riches as they opened;Sarama found the solid cattle fold from which our human people now eat.

1.72.9 They stood beside all their fine offspring, making a road toward immortality;great Earth took her place among the great, Aditi the mother with sons to sustain her.

1.72.10 They placed beauty in him when immortals made the two eyes of heaven;then the rivers flowed forth, released, and their red streams ran downward, Agni.

Hymn 1.73 — Seer: Parashara Shaktya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.73.1 Like inherited wealth that gives life, like the sure guidance of a wise instructor,like a pleasant guest who delights the house, he crosses the worshiper's home as an invoker.

1.73.2 Like divine Savitar, true in thought, he guards every gathering with wisdom;much praised, as true as devotion, he became dear as one's own life, worthy of support.

1.73.3 Like a god he dwells on earth sustaining all, like a king with good allies;like heroes he sits in front and takes shelter, faultless as a woman beloved by her husband.

1.73.4 Men attend you in their homes, Agni, kindled continually in settled dwellings;they have laid great splendor upon you; be the enduring foundation of riches for every life.

1.73.5 Generous men, Agni, would win nourishment, and patrons give it through a whole life;may we win the prize in noble battles, securing our share among gods for glory.

1.73.6 For the cows of Truth, lowing, full of milk, filled their udders and shone with light;seeking favor from afar, the rivers ran around the mountain.

1.73.7 Seeking your favor, Agni, those worthy of sacrifice placed glory in heaven;Night and Ushas, differently shaped, made darkness and ruddy light together.

1.73.8 Let us be among the generous mortals whom you have urged on toward riches, Agni;like shade you cover the whole world, filling both worlds and the midair.

1.73.9 Protected by you, Agni, may we win steeds with steeds, men with men, heroes with heroes;let our generous patrons, heirs of ancestral wealth, live for a hundred winters.

1.73.10 Let these hymns of yours, wise Agni, please your heart and mind;may we draw your well-yoked wealth toward us, bearing glory allotted by the gods.

Hymn 1.74 — Seer: Gotama Rahugana. Deity: Agni. Meter: Gayatri.

1.74.1 As we approach the rite, let us speak a prayer for Agni,who hears us both far away and here.

1.74.2 He of old among peoples united in affectionguarded the giver's household.

1.74.3 Let creatures proclaim: “Agni has arisen, Vritra-slayer,winner of treasure in battle after battle.”

1.74.4 In the house for which you serve as messenger, you seek oblations for the feast;you make the rite wondrous.

1.74.5 People call him easy to invoke, Angiras, gracious to the gods,child of strength, with the grass well laid.

1.74.6 Bring the gods here for praise,their oblations for delight, beautiful one.

1.74.7 Not even the sound of your horses or your chariot is heardwhen you go as messenger, Agni.

1.74.8 Protected by you, an unashamed prize-winner, one after another,the giver rises forth, Agni.

1.74.9 And you desire bright, great heroic strengthfrom the gods for the human giver, Agni.

Hymn 1.75 — Seer: Gotama Rahugana. Deity: Agni. Meter: Gayatri.

1.75.1 Welcome this far-reaching word, most beautiful to the gods,as offerings are poured into your mouth.

1.75.3 Who among men is your kin, Agni? Who performs a rite for you?In whom do you dwell, and where?

1.75.4 You are kin to men, Agni, a beloved friend,a companion worthy of your companions' praise.

1.75.5 Sacrifice to Mitra and Varuna for us, to the gods and great Truth;Agni, worship your own house.

Hymn 1.76 — Seer: Gotama Rahugana. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.76.1 What approach of the mind will find your favor, Agni? What thought will please you most?Who can encompass your skill in sacrifice, with what mind shall we honor you?

1.76.2 Come here, Agni, take your seat as invoker and be our unfailing guide;let both worlds, embracing all, protect you: sacrifice to the gods for our happiness.

1.76.3 Burn away every harmful spirit, Agni, guard the sacrifices from curses;then bring the lord of soma with his bays: we have prepared welcome for this generous one.

1.76.4 With a voice that brings offspring I call you, bearer, and bid you sit among the gods;perform the invoker's and purifier's rites, worshipful begetter of treasure, ever coming forth.

1.76.5 As you, seer, sacrificed to the gods for inspired Manu with offerings,so, most truthful invoker, sacrifice today, Agni, with your joyous tongue.

Hymn 1.77 — Seer: Gotama Rahugana. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.77.1 How shall we worship Agni? What god-beloved song is spoken for the shining one,immortal among mortals, faithful to Truth, the invoker who most truly makes the gods?

1.77.2 Make him your own with homage, the gracious invoker of the rites, faithful to Truth;when Agni conveys gods for mortals, he knows their minds and makes the offering.

1.77.3 He is purpose, he is hero, he is virtuous, a friend driving the chariot of wonders;god-seeking peoples call that wonder-worker foremost in their sacrificial assemblies.

1.77.4 Let that most heroic Agni, destroyer of harm, welcome our thoughts and songs with help;let the generous, strong of old, inspired by prizes, desire our hymn.

1.77.5 So Jatavedas Agni, true to Truth, was praised by inspired Gautamas;may he swell their glory and prizes and, knowing them, favor their increase.

1.78.3 We call you, greatest winner of prizes, as Angiras did;we cry aloud with praises of splendor.

1.78.4 We call you, greatest slayer of Vritra, who shook off the Dasyus;we cry aloud with praises of splendor.

1.78.5 We Rahuganas have spoken a honeyed word for Agni;we cry aloud with praises of splendor.

1.79.1 Gold-haired in the opening of the sky, serpent that shakes, racing like wind,he shines pure in new dawns, glorious ones ever working and faithful.

1.79.2 When the dark bull roared, your winged ones followed their courses unchecked;he arrived with gentle, smiling companions; clouds fly and thunder and rain.

1.79.3 When he drinks the milk of Truth and guides us along Truth's straightest paths,Aryaman, Mitra, and far-ranging Varuna moisten the upper womb's skin.

1.79.4 Agni, child of strength, ruler of cattle-rich prizes,set great renown among us, Jatavedas.

1.79.5 Kindled, Agni, seer rich in treasure, worthy of song,shine for us with wealth, many-faced one.

1.80.1 Thus, in soma's exhilaration, the prayer made you grow;strongest mace-bearer, with your might you drove the serpent from earth, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.2 That pressed soma brought by the hawk, bull-like delight, intoxicated you;with it, mace-bearer, you struck Vritra away from the waters by strength, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.3 Advance, attack, be daring: your mace will never hold back;Indra, your might is manly power; kill Vritra, win the waters, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.4 Indra, you struck Vritra from earth and from heaven;release these life-giving waters accompanied by the Maruts, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.5 When Vritra grew furious, Indra strode forward and struck his summit with the mace,urging waters on for Sarama, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.6 On his crest Indra struck with the hundred-jointed mace,delighting in the drink and seeking a path for his friends, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.7 Indra, bearer of the stone and mace, your heroic deed is unequaled:with cunning you killed that cunning beast, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.8 Your maces stood out over ninety navigable rivers;great was your heroism, Indra, strength residing in your arms, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.9 A thousand sang together, twenty answered all around;a hundred praised him in turn: the prayer rose to Indra, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.10 Indra crushed Vritra's fury with overwhelming force;that was his great manly deed: he killed Vritra and set the waters free, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.11 Even these two great worlds tremble in fear of your anger,when, mace-bearing Indra, you killed Vritra with the Maruts, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.12 Vritra did not frighten Indra with shaking or thunder;the iron mace with a thousand edges came down upon him, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.13 When you fought Vritra and his lightning with your mace,eager to kill the serpent, Indra, your might swelled in heaven, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.14 Even things still and moving tremble at your thunder, wielder of the stone;even Tvashtar quakes in fear of your rage, Indra, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.15 No one whom we know can surpass Indra in heroic deeds;within him the gods set manly power, wisdom, and strength, singing of your sovereignty.

1.80.16 The thought fashioned by Atharvan, father Manu, and Dadhyang:within that first prayer Indra's hymns came together, singing of your sovereignty.

Hymn 1.81 — Seer: Gotama Rahugana. Deity: Indra. Meter: Pankti.

1.81.1 Indra grew for delight and strength, Vritra-slayer strengthened by men;we call him in great and little battles; may he guard us in contests.

1.81.2 For you are a hero leading hosts and give abundantly;you increase even the little and teach the worshiper; you have great wealth for the soma-presser.

1.81.3 When battles rise and prizes are placed before the bold, harness your joyous bays;whom will you kill, whom endow with treasure? Endow us, Indra, with treasure.

1.81.4 Great by wisdom, his fearsome strength has grown by its own law;for splendor the high-born, bay-horsed one holds the iron mace in his two hands.

1.81.5 He filled the earthly air and braced the lights of heaven;no one like you, Indra, has been or will be born: you have outgrown the whole world.

1.81.6 He who gives a mortal's livelihood to a noble giver:let Indra teach us; share out your abundant wealth, so I may enjoy your bounty.

1.81.7 At every joyous draught our generous guide, straight in purpose, gives herds of cows;gather many hundreds, wealth in both hands, sharpen it and bring us riches.

1.81.8 Rejoice beside the pressed soma, hero, for strength and bounty;we know you possess many riches; we have released our desires to you: be our defender.

1.81.9 These people of yours, Indra, nourish every desirable thing;for you know inwardly those men, noble and ungenerous; bring us their wealth.

Hymn 1.82 — Seer: Gotama Rahugana. Deity: Indra. Meters: Pankti, Jagati (6).

1.82.1 Listen to our songs, generous one, not as if you were far away;when you come to us who speak truly, harness your bay horses, Indra.

1.82.2 They have eaten and rejoiced; their loved ones shook off weariness;the self-radiant sages praised you with newest thought: harness your bay horses, Indra.

1.82.3 We would honor you, generous one, beautiful to behold;come now, praised, with the seat full, according to your desire: harness your bay horses, Indra.

1.82.4 He mounts that bull-like chariot, finder of cattle,who recognizes Indra's full cup and the harnessing of the bays: harness your bay horses, Indra.

1.82.5 Let your right and left horse both be yoked, hundred-powered one;with them go delighted by the drink to your beloved wife: harness your bay horses, Indra.

1.82.6 With prayer I yoke your long-maned bay horses; come forward and take the reins;the vigorous pressed juices have exhilarated you, mace-bearer; with Pushan, delight together with your wife.

Hymn 1.83 — Seer: Gotama Rahugana. Deity: Indra. Meter: Jagati.

1.83.1 First among horses and cattle goes the mortal you protect, Indra, by your help;you fill him with greater wealth, as discerning waters fill a river on all sides.

1.83.2 Like goddesses the waters approach the sacrificial fire and see shelter spread wide as the sky;the gods lead the god-seeker forward, pleased with this lover of prayer like chosen friends.

1.83.3 You placed a hymn in the two who offer together, lifting ladles to worship;the one not confined lives and thrives by your ordinance; blessed strength comes to the presser.

1.83.4 Then the Angirases first took up their work as fires, with skilled hands and wood;those heroes found every treasure of the Pani, horses and cattle and beasts.

1.83.5 Atharvan first laid out the paths with sacrifices; then the sun, guardian of ordinance, was born;Ushana Kavya drove the cows here; we worship Yama's immortal offspring.

1.83.6 Where ritual grass is spread for fine offspring, where a song sounds heavenward,where the pressing stone speaks and a poet chants, there Indra delights at evening meals.

Hymn 1.84 — Seer: Gotama Rahugana. Deity: Indra. Meters: Anushtubh (1–6), Ushnih (7–9), Pankti (10–12), Gayatri (13–15), Trishtubh (16–18), Brihati (19), Satobrihati (20).

1.84.1 The soma is pressed for you, Indra; come, strongest and boldest;let it fill your power as the sun fills the sky with rays.

1.84.2 The two bay horses bear Indra of unassailable forcetoward the seers' praises and the human sacrifice.

1.84.3 Mount your chariot, Vritra-slayer; your bay horses are yoked by prayer;let the pressing stone's call turn your mind this way.

1.84.4 Drink this pressed soma, Indra, the foremost immortal delight;bright streams poured over you in the seat of Truth.

1.84.5 Now sing to Indra and utter hymns;the pressed drops have brought joy; honor his foremost power.

1.84.6 No charioteer surpasses you, Indra, when you restrain your bays;none matches your greatness, none with finer horses has reached you.

1.84.7 He alone allots treasure to the mortal giver,Indra, lord whom none can turn aside.

1.84.8 When will he kick a grudging mortal away like a mushroom?When will Indra hear our songs?

1.84.9 Even when one who has pressed soma honors you from among the many,that fierce strength comes to its master, Indra.

1.84.10 The bright cows drink the sweet, abundant honey,who journey and rejoice with bull-like Indra in splendor, rich in wealth, following his sovereignty.

1.84.11 Those spotted cows who love him blend the soma for him;Indra's beloved milk cows drive forth his striking mace, rich in wealth, following his sovereignty.

1.84.12 Those wise ones serve his strength with homage;they attend his many ordinances for ancient insight, rich in wealth, following his sovereignty.

1.84.13 With the bones of Dadhichi, Indra, whom none could turn aside,struck down ninety-nine Vritras.

1.84.14 Seeking the horse's head hidden in the mountains,he found it at Sharyanavat.

1.84.15 Here they remembered the cow's secret name,Tvashtar's, in the home of the moon.

1.84.16 Who now yokes to the pole the cows of Truth, active, shining, hard to restrain?Arrows at the mouth, joy in the heart—who can withstand their assault and live?

1.84.17 Who strives, who is stirred, who fears? Who considers Indra present here?Who will speak for children, for elephants and wealth, for oneself and the people?

1.84.18 Who worships Agni with an oblation of ghee, with a ladle, in the constant seasons?To whom will I swiftly bring the gods? Who knows the god-loving invoker of the feast?

1.84.19 You yourself, strongest god, will praise the mortal;no one but you, generous Indra, shows mercy: I speak my word to you.

1.84.20 Let neither your gifts nor your protections, generous one, fail us ever;measure out for us every human treasure, all wealth for the peoples.

Hymn 1.85 — Seer: Gotama Rahugana. Deities: the Maruts. Meters: Jagati, Trishtubh (5, 12).

1.85.1 The wondrous sons of Rudra array themselves on their journey like women, like horses;Maruts, they make both worlds increase; bold heroes rejoice in the assemblies.

1.85.2 Anointed, they reached greatness; sons of Rudra took their seat in heaven;sons of Prishni sang their song, generated power, and put on splendor.

1.85.3 Born of the cow, they adorn themselves with ornaments and place bright gold plates upon their bodies;they drive every threat away, and ghee flows along their paths.

1.85.4 Splendid ones gleam with spears, shaking even the immovable through strength;swift as thought, Maruts, bull-like companies, you yoked the spotted mares to your chariots.

1.85.5 When you yoked spotted mares to chariots, Maruts, driving the mountain fast toward the prize,streams poured out from the red one; with waters you drenched the earth like a hide.

1.85.6 Let swift steeds bring you here, flying rapidly, as you advance with strong arms;sit on the ritual grass, your spacious place prepared, and delight in the honeyed draught, Maruts.

1.85.7 These self-strong ones grew in greatness, stood upon heaven's vault, made a broad seat;when Vishnu ran to the exhilarated bull, he settled like a bird on the beloved grass.

1.85.8 Like heroes bound for battle, like fighters they advanced, as seekers of renown ranged over battlefields;all worlds fear the Maruts, heroes terrible to see as kings.

1.85.9 When skilled Tvashtar fashioned the golden, thousand-edged mace,Indra took it up to accomplish manly deeds: he killed Vritra and released the flood of waters.

1.85.10 You forced the spring upward by your might, split apart even the stubborn mountain;blowing your pipes, generous Maruts, you made merry in the joy of soma.

1.85.11 They pushed the crooked spring in that direction, poured out a fountain for thirsty Gotama;bright ones came with aid and satisfied the sage's longing with their powers.

1.85.12 The triple shelters you have for the devoted giver, bestow them;turn them toward us, Maruts; strong ones, grant us riches with brave sons.

Hymn 1.86 — Seer: Gotama Rahugana. Deities: the Maruts. Meter: Gayatri.

1.86.2 Whether through sacrifices, carriers of sacrifice, or through an inspired poet's thoughts,Maruts, hear our call.

1.86.3 And the one for whom the inspired poet fashioned songs of prizeswill come to a cattle-rich pasture.

1.86.4 On this hero's ritual grass, pressed soma is offered at heavenly rites;his song and delight are praised.

1.86.5 May all the worlds hear his song and all the peoples,even the sun and swiftly moving nourishment.

1.86.6 Through many autumns, Maruts, we have made offerings,and sought the help of the peoples.

1.86.7 Blessed be the mortal, worshipful Maruts,whose offerings you carry beyond danger.

1.86.8 And, heroes, know the longing of the devoted man,true in strength, who labors and desires.

1.86.9 You, true in power, reveal that by your greatness;pierce the harmful spirit with lightning.

1.86.10 Hide the secret darkness; drive away every devourer;make the light we desire.

1.87.1 Plain to see and mighty, magnificent, unbent and unfaltering, impetuous,beloved above all, finest heroes, some are adorned with ornaments like dawns with stars.

1.87.2 When you drive your swift team through the valleys, Maruts, like birds along a path,water pours from the vessels on your chariots; you shower honey-colored ghee for your singer.

1.87.3 Earth trembles like a tottering thing at their passage when they yoke themselves to journey in glory;those playful shakers, glittering-speared, rejoice in the greatness they themselves proclaim.

1.87.4 The young host with spotted steeds rushes of its own accord, lord wrapped in power;you are true, debt-paying, worthy of praise, guardian of this thought and mighty host.

1.87.5 We speak of the ancient father's birth; Soma's tongue goes forth with sight;when they sat beside Indra singing for peace, they took the names of sacrifice.

1.87.6 For splendor they joined together with radiance, rays and hymns giving delight;with axes, eager and fearless, they found the beloved dwelling of the Maruts.

Hymn 1.88 — Seer: Gotama Rahugana. Deities: the Maruts. Meters: Trishtubh, variant Pankti (1, 6), Viraj (5).

1.88.1 Come, Maruts, in lightning-bearing chariots radiant with hymns, armed with spears and swift-winged horses;fly like birds toward us with the richest food, masters of marvels.

1.88.2 With tawny and reddish horses they race for beauty, pulling the chariot;its flashing gold ornaments and bladed wheels strike the earth.

1.88.3 Your axes are raised on your bodies for splendor; your wisdom makes the forests stand upright;well-born Maruts of mighty glory, for you they break the mountain for treasure.

1.88.4 Days circled you like eager birds, and this divine, song-worthy thought;the Gautamas made prayers with hymns and drove the spring upward to drink.

1.88.5 Gotama discerned that distant journey of yours, Maruts, when he sawthe wild boars speeding with golden wheels and iron tusks.

1.88.6 This supporting song of yours, Maruts, answers like the singer's voice;she resounded freely according to their own nature, within their hands.

1.89.3 With an ancient invocation we call Bhaga, Mitra, Aditi, Daksha the unfailing,Aryaman, Varuna, Soma, the Ashvins: may fortunate Sarasvati bring us joy.

1.89.4 May the wind blow healing joy to us, and Mother Earth and Father Heaven;may the soma-pressing stones bring it; may you two discerning Ashvins hear us.

1.89.5 For aid we call the lord of the moving and the still, who quickens thought;let Pushan increase our knowledge, unfailing guardian and defender for well-being.

1.89.6 May Indra of growing fame give us well-being, and Pushan who knows all;may Tarkshya with unbroken wheels give well-being, and Brihaspati give us well-being.

1.89.7 May the Maruts, with spotted horses, born of Prishni, go with joy to assemblies;with Agni as their tongue and the sun as their eye, may all gods come here to aid us.

1.89.8 May we hear what is good with our ears, gods; see what is good with our eyes, worshipful ones;with firm limbs and bodies, singing your praises, may we live the life the gods have allotted.

1.89.9 A hundred autumns lie before us, gods, where you have appointed our bodies' aging,where sons become fathers; let no harm interrupt the course of our life midway.

1.89.10 Aditi is heaven, Aditi the midair; Aditi is mother, father, and son;Aditi is all gods and the five peoples; Aditi is what was born and what will be born.

1.91.8 Guard us, King Soma, from every evildoer;the friend of one protected by you will suffer no harm.

1.91.9 Soma, by those joy-bringing protections of yours for the giver,be our defender.

1.91.10 Welcome this sacrifice and this word and come near;Soma, be the source of our growth.

1.91.11 We who know speech strengthen you with songs, Soma;enter us full of gracious mercy.

1.91.12 Expanding our households, driving disease away, finding treasure, increasing plenty,be our faithful friend, Soma.

1.91.19 All your dwelling places honored by offerings, surround our sacrifice;expanding homes and brave sons, traversing dangers, Soma, walk through our homes without killing heroes.

1.91.20 Soma gives a milk cow, Soma a swift horse, Soma a hero fit for actionto the one who gives to him—a man at home in council and assembly, honored by his fathers.

1.91.21 May we rejoice in you, Soma, unbeaten in battles, mighty, winning sunlight and waters, guarding the people,victorious in the struggle for riches, well housed and famed.

1.91.22 You gave birth to all these plants, Soma, to waters and cattle;you stretched the broad midair and with light dispersed the darkness.

1.91.23 With your divine mind fight for our share of riches, mighty divine Soma;let no rival master your strength; distinguish the two sides in our search for cattle.

Hymn 1.92 — Seer: Gotama Rahugana. Deity: Ushas (the Ashvins in verses 16–18). Meters: Jagati (1–4), Trishtubh (5–12), Ushnih (13–18).

1.92.1 These dawns have made their sign, adorning the eastern half of the air with brightness;red mothers advance toward the cattle, bringing their weapons to light like bold fighters.

1.92.2 Ruddy rays flew upward freely; the dawns yoked their self-harnessed red cattle;as before they made their signs and fastened their red splendor to the shining light.

1.92.3 The women sing through their work as workers at the same task, journeying together from afar;all these generous ones bring nourishment for the doer of good, the presser at the sacrifice.

1.92.4 She casts on finery like a dancer and bares her breast like a red cow;making light for every living thing, Dawn opens the darkness as cows stream from their stall.

1.92.5 Her rosy brilliance appeared and spreads abroad, driving black night away;daughter of heaven has assumed bright radiance, adorning her beauty in the gathering like a carved post.

1.92.6 We have crossed to darkness's farther shore; dawning Ushas opens the ways;she smiles like a lover as she shines, fair-faced she comes to give joy.

1.92.7 The Gautamas praise heaven's shining daughter, guide of truthful speech;Ushas, measure out cattle-led prizes, rich in children, men, and waking horses.

1.92.8 May I win from you, Ushas, wealth glorious and rich in heroes, commanding servants and rousing horses;with your skillful deeds and great renown you shine, fortunate giver of prizes.

1.92.9 The goddess shines face-to-face with every world, her eye turned toward all the wide expanse;she awakens every living thing to move; she has found the voice of every thinking man.

1.92.10 Born again and again, though ancient, she adorns herself in the same colors;like a skilled gambler cutting away a stake, the goddess wears away mortal life.

1.92.11 Unveiling heaven's edge, she awoke and drove her sister far away;taking away human generations, she shines like a woman before her lover's eyes.

1.92.12 Bright and fortunate, she spreads wide like herds, crosses the expanse like the rushing river;never breaking divine ordinances, she appears among the rays of the sun.

1.92.13 Ushas, bring us that splendid prize, you who bring prizes,by which we may establish children and descendants.

1.92.14 Dawn on us today, Ushas, rich in cattle and horses, radiant one,with treasure and truthful speech.

1.92.15 Harness your ruddy horses today, Ushas, bringer of prizes;then bring us every fortune.

1.92.16 Ashvins, bring your cattle-rich, gold-rich dwelling toward us, wonder-workers;draw your chariot here in one accord.

1.92.17 You who have made light from heaven for people in this way, worthy of song,bring us nourishment, you two Ashvins.

1.92.18 Come here, joy-bringing gods, wonder-workers of golden paths;let your dawn-waking steeds carry you to drink soma.

Hymn 1.95 — Seer: Kutsa Angirasa. Deity: Agni, or Agni of the dawn. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.95.1 Two of different forms move for their own purpose, each giving suck to the other's calf;in one he is tawny and self-sustained; in the other bright and splendid to behold.

1.95.2 Ten tireless young women bore Tvashtar's embryo and carried him around;with sharp front, famed among men, they lead him shining in their midst.

1.95.3 His three births surround him: one in the sea, one in heaven, one in the waters;he assigned the earthly seasons, obeying and ruling in the eastern quarter.

1.95.4 Who among you knows this secret? The calf through his own nature gave birth to his mothers;an embryo of many workers he arose, the great self-sustained seer coming forth.

1.95.5 Beautiful, he grows within these, upright amid the slanting ones, radiant in their lap;the two worlds tremble at Tvashtar's newborn, yet turn lovingly toward the lion.

1.95.6 Both kindly ones welcome him like lowing cows that approach their young;he became lord of skilled workers, honored by oblations poured on his right.

1.95.7 He raises both arms like Savitar and stretches his two sleeves, fearsome, preparing;he sends forth his bright garment and casts off new clothes from his mothers.

1.95.8 He takes his higher radiant form, mingling at his place with cows and waters;the seer washes his base; his thought becomes an assembly of gods.

1.95.9 Your great surge passes around the foundation of the bull's shining dwelling;kindled by all your own glories, Agni, guard us with protections that cannot fail.

1.95.10 In a dry land he makes a stream, a traveling wave, and with shining waves reaches the earth;he carries all ancient things within his bellies, moving among the new generations.

1.95.11 Thus, Agni, growing through kindling, shine for us with wealth and purifying renown;may Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, River, Earth, and Heaven favor us in this.

1.96.2 By the ancient invocation, the ancient seer begot these generations of Manus;with shining eyes he saw heaven and waters: the gods upheld Agni, giver of treasure.

1.96.3 The peoples honor him first, achiever of sacrifice, brightened by offerings;son of nourishment, bearer, swiftly giving: the gods upheld Agni, giver of treasure.

1.96.4 Matarishvan, nurtured by many, found a path for his son and discovered the sun;guardian of the peoples and begetter of both worlds: the gods upheld Agni, giver of treasure.

1.96.6 Foundation of riches, gathering of treasures, sign of sacrifice, accomplisher of thought,the gods upheld Agni, giver of treasure, guarding immortality.

1.96.7 Home of riches now and before, dwelling of born and unborn,guardian of what is and will be: the gods upheld Agni, giver of treasure.

1.96.8 Let Dravinodas give the wealth of the swift, the wealth of the ever-present;Dravinodas gives us hero-rich food, Dravinodas bestows long life.

1.97.4 So that your patrons may increase, Agni, and we ourselves prosper,burn away our evil.

1.98.3 Vaishvanara, let this truth of yours stand: may generous riches join us;may Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, River, Earth, and Heaven favor us in this.

1.100.1 He is the bull living among the strong, sovereign over great heaven and earth;true and triumphant, invoked in battles: may Indra with the Maruts be our help.

1.100.3 From his seed, like heaven's, flow pathways that cannot be checked by strength;he crosses hatred, victorious by manly deeds: may Indra with the Maruts be our help.

1.100.5 With Rudra's sons, like his own sons, the skilled one mastered enemies in the conquest of men;with companions of one home he won glory: may Indra with the Maruts be our help.

1.100.6 He drove his fury to the clash of battle and won the sun with our heroes;on this day the lord of the good is much invoked: may Indra with the Maruts be our help.

1.100.7 His protections cheered him in winning heroes; peoples made him their defender in peace;he alone rules over every act: may Indra with the Maruts be our help.

1.100.8 Heroes seek that hero for aid and wealth when strength pours forth;he finds light even in blind darkness: may Indra with the Maruts be our help.

1.100.15 Neither gods nor mortals, nor even the waters, reached the limit of his might;he spread wide with strength beyond earth and heaven: may Indra with the Maruts be our help.

1.100.16 Red and dark horses, led by the good soma-stalk, bear Rijrashva's heaven-housed riches;the joyful bearer of the bull-like chariot on its poles was known among the Nahusha clans.

1.100.17 This bull-like hymn of yours, Indra, the sons of Vrishagira sing for bounty:Rijrashva with his team, Ambarisha, Sahadeva, Bhayamana, and Suradhas.

1.100.18 With his allies the much-invoked one struck the Dasyus and Shimyu and laid them low on earth;with his shining companions he won land, won the sun and the waters with his fine mace.

1.102.1 I bring this great thought to you, mighty one, when insight has clothed you in this praise;the gods exulted in strong Indra, who conquers at the outset and at the harvest.

1.102.2 Seven rivers carry his glory, heaven and earth his lovely form;we see sun and moon among us, believe in Indra, whose movement crosses all.

1.102.3 Guard that victorious chariot of yours, generous one, which we cheer when we gather to win;Indra much praised, stand with us in battle and shelter us who look to you.

1.102.5 Many peoples call on you in different ways, keeper of riches, wise ones seeking help;mount our chariot for victory, Indra, for your victorious mind is steady.

1.102.6 His arms win cattle, his designs are endless, his hundredfold protections work in every task;Indra has no measure for his might; desiring peoples call him from every side.

1.102.9 We invoke you first among gods, victorious in battles;let Indra set our singer and his chariot before us, to pierce obstructions at our departure.

1.102.10 You conquered and never held wealth back, generous one, in small or great battles;we sharpen our call for your fierce aid: spur us on at our invocations, Indra.

Hymn 1.103 — Seer: Kutsa Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.103.1 The ancient seers long ago upheld that utmost power of yours from far away;one part belongs to earth, another to heaven, while their common sign joins in the gathering.

1.103.2 He upheld the earth and spread it wide; killing with his mace, he released the waters;he struck the serpent, split the mountain stronghold, and smashed the shoulderless one by his powers.

1.103.3 Believing in his power, born in might, he went through the Dasa forts and split them apart;knowing bearer of the mace, increase the Arya's strength and glory against the Dasyu weapon, Indra.

1.103.4 So among these human generations he bore the name of the generous one, worthy of fame;the mace-bearer came forth to destroy the Dasyus, and his son won a name in glory.

1.103.5 See this abundance he has made; place faith in Indra's might:he found cattle and horses; he found plants, waters, and forests.

1.103.6 For the many-working, strong bull, true in might, let us press soma;like a hero he advances, allotting the wealth of non-sacrificers to others.

1.103.7 That was a splendid deed you did, Indra, when with your mace you woke the sleeping serpent;the wives rejoiced with you, and all the gods rejoiced with you.

1.103.8 When you killed Shushna, Pipru, Kuyava, and Vritra, Indra, and broke Shambara's forts,may Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, River, Earth, and Heaven favor us in this.

Hymn 1.104 — Seer: Kutsa Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.104.1 A seat has been made for you, Indra; settle here, neighing like a horse;loosen your horses and rest them at dusk and at morning, when they have carried you to the feast.

1.104.2 Those men went to Indra for help; may he arrive from the road even now;the gods restrain the Dasa's anger and bring us a way to prosperity.

1.104.3 He himself carries down what understands signs, while rising foam bears itself upward;washed with milk, the two women of Kuyava shall be struck beside Shipha's slope.

1.104.4 The upper one's navel was severed from the mortal; the hero crosses by the former paths;Anjasi and Kulishi, wives of heroes, bearing milk, carry it forth with water.

1.104.5 When the Dasyu woman was seen following his lead, she went toward the familiar home;then, generous one, remember us: do not deliver us like wealth to hidden ruin.

1.104.6 Indra, allot us a blameless share of sunlight and waters in living hope;do not injure us in the middle of our portion, for your great strength has earned our faith.

1.104.7 Now I think faith has been placed in you for us: bull, urge us toward great treasure;do not hand us, much-invoked Indra, over to hungry birds in an unfinished dwelling.

1.104.8 Do not kill us, Indra, or give us away; do not take our beloved food;do not break our eggs, generous mighty one, or shatter the vessels born beside us.

1.104.9 Come here, for they say you desire soma; here it is pressed, so drink and rejoice;swell your wide belly and hear us when we call, like a father.

1.105.9 There where those seven rays shine, my navel is stretched out;Trita Aptya knows this and sings for kinship; know this of me, Heaven and Earth.

1.105.11 Those bright-winged ones sit at heaven's center, barring the ascent;they drive a wolf from the path as it crosses great waters; know this of me, Heaven and Earth.

1.105.12 This new hymn has been laid down, gods, worthy of speech;the rivers flow with Truth, the sun spreads out what is true; know this of me, Heaven and Earth.

1.105.13 Agni, you have praiseworthy kinship among the gods;seated here as with Manu, sacrifice to the gods for us, wisest one; know this of me, Heaven and Earth.

1.105.14 Seated as Manu's wise invoker facing the gods,Agni brings the offerings to birth, a god wise among gods; know this of me, Heaven and Earth.

1.105.15 Varuna makes the prayer, we seek him as finder of the path;he uncovers thought from his heart; let new Truth be born; know this of me, Heaven and Earth.

1.105.16 That sun's path in heaven, made by the Aditya, deserves proclamation;not even gods cross it; do you mortals not see it? Know this of me, Heaven and Earth.

1.105.17 Trita, fallen into a well, calls on the gods for aid;Brihaspati heard him, making room in the narrow place; know this of me, Heaven and Earth.

1.105.18 A ruddy wolf once saw me walking on the road;he reared up at the sight like a carpenter with an aching back; know this of me, Heaven and Earth.

1.108.1 Indra and Agni, come in that most splendid chariot of yours which looks out over all worlds;ride together upon it, then drink the pressed soma.

1.108.2 As wide and deep as this whole vast world extends,so abundant is this soma for you to drink, Indra and Agni, enough to satisfy you both.

1.108.3 Together you have made a blessed name, Vritra-slayers joined in one purpose;sit together, Indra and Agni, and, bulls, drink your fill of the bull's soma.

1.108.4 When fires are lit and ladles raised and the ritual grass is spread,come near, Indra and Agni, for happiness and the poured, potent soma.

1.108.5 Through the heroic deeds you have done, Indra and Agni, your forms and your bull-like might,through your ancient blessed friendships, drink the pressed soma.

1.108.6 What I first said when I chose you—that this soma is ours to call you to from the Asuras—come true to that pledge of faith, then drink the pressed soma.

1.108.7 If you rejoice, Indra and Agni, in your own home or in the home of priest or king,come from there, strong ones, then drink the pressed soma.

1.108.8 If you dwell, Indra and Agni, among Yadus and Turvashas, Druhyus, Anus, or Purus,come from there, strong ones, then drink the pressed soma.

1.108.9 If you dwell, Indra and Agni, on the nearest earth, the middle earth, or the highest,come from there, strong ones, then drink the pressed soma.

1.108.12 If you two, Indra and Agni, rejoice by your own nature at sunrise in the center of heaven,come from there, strong ones, then drink the pressed soma.

1.108.13 So, Indra and Agni, having drunk the pressed soma, win all treasures for us together;may Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, River, Earth, and Heaven favor us in this.

Hymn 1.109 — Seer: Kutsa Angirasa. Deities: Indra and Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.109.1 I looked about in my mind, desiring wealth, Indra and Agni, among kin and people of my birth;no guardian exists for me but you; I shaped this prize-winning thought for you both.

1.109.2 For I heard you give more generously than a son-in-law or a wife's brother;so, as I prepare soma for you, Indra and Agni, I bring a fresh hymn to birth.

1.109.3 “Let us not sever the reins,” the supplicants say, reaching for the powers of their fathers;the stones delight the two bulls, Indra and Agni, in the lap of inspiration.

1.109.4 Divine thought, eager to bring you joy, presses soma for you, Indra and Agni;come swiftly, you gracious-handed riders, and mingle honey with the waters.

1.109.5 Indra and Agni, I have heard you are strongest in allotting wealth and killing Vritra;sit on the ritual grass at this sacrifice and delight in the pressed drink among the peoples.

1.109.6 In calls to battle you surpass the peoples, surpass earth and heaven;in greatness you surpass rivers and mountains, Indra and Agni, and all other worlds.

1.109.7 Bring riches and teach us, mace-armed ones; protect us with your powers, Indra and Agni;these are the rays of the sun through which our fathers won kinship.

1.109.8 Fort-breakers, wielding the mace, give us wealth, Indra and Agni, and protect us in battle;may Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, River, Earth, and Heaven favor us in this.

Hymn 1.110 — Seer: Kutsa Angirasa. Deities: the Ribhus. Meters: Jagati, Trishtubh (5, 9).

1.110.1 My work is spread out and springs to life again; sweetest thought is proclaimed for praise;this soma sea is here for all the gods; be filled together with the offering, Ribhus.

1.110.2 When you came seeking plenty, my companions went forward with no thought of turning back;sons of Sudhanvan, who have traveled far, come to generous Savitar's home.

1.110.3 Savitar gave you immortality when you went proclaiming what could not be hidden;that one cup, the divine one's vessel for drinking, you made into four.

1.110.4 Setting to work with skill, though mortal, the singers attained immortality;the sons of Sudhanvan, Ribhus who see the sun, came together with their thoughts for a year.

1.110.5 They measured the single precious cup as one measures a field with a rod, Ribhus;praised and seeking excellence, they desired renown among immortals.

1.110.6 For the heroes of the midair let us pour out thought like ghee from a ladle;they followed their father's swift skill, Ribhus and Vaja, and ascended the heavenly realm.

1.110.7 Let Indra with Ribhu be new in power for us, and Ribhu, generous with prizes, give treasure;through your aid, gods, on the beloved day, may we face non-pressers in battle.

1.110.8 Ribhus, you fashioned a cow out of its hide and brought mother and calf together again;sons of Sudhanvan, skilled craftsmen, you made your aged parents young.

1.110.9 Aid us with prizes in winning prizes, Indra accompanied by Ribhus; show us splendid bounty;may Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, River, Earth, and Heaven favor us in this.

Hymn 1.111 — Seer: Kutsa Angirasa. Deities: the Ribhus. Meters: Jagati, Trishtubh (5).

1.111.1 With skilled hands they fashioned a well-turned chariot, and fashioned the mighty horses that carry Indra;Ribhus, they fashioned youth for their parents, a mother to stay with her calf.

1.111.2 Fashion for our sacrifice, Ribhus, enduring life, skill, and food rich in offspring,so that we may dwell with a people full of heroes; place that power in our host.

1.111.3 Fashion success for us, Ribhus, success for the chariot and the horses, heroes;let us magnify triumphant gain always, gain alongside kin and strangers in battle.

1.111.4 I call Indra with the Ribhus for help, the Ribhus, Vajas and Maruts to drink soma;Mitra, Varuna, and the Ashvins too: may they speed our thought toward victory.

1.111.5 Let Ribhu sharpen our success in battle; let Vaja help us win the contest;may Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, River, Earth, and Heaven favor us in this.

Hymn 1.113 — Seer: Kutsa Angirasa. Deity: Ushas (and Night in the second half of verse 1). Meter: Trishtubh.

1.113.1 Here comes the brightest light of lights; a wondrous sign, spreading, is born.As Night, released at Savitar's prompting, yielded her place to Dawn.

1.113.2 Bright with her ruddy calf, the shining one has come; the dark one has left her dwelling.The two immortal sisters, following one another, traverse heaven, exchanging their colors.

1.113.3 The sisters' road is the same, endless; at the gods' bidding each follows the other.They neither clash nor linger, well ordered: Night and Dawn, one in mind, unlike in form.

1.113.4 Radiant leader of fair words, she has appeared and opened the splendid doors for us.She set the moving world in motion and revealed our riches: Dawn has awakened every being.

1.113.5 For one who walks crookedly, for one who goes straight, generous one; for pleasure and for the quest for wealth;For those who see little, to see far and wide: Dawn has awakened every being.

1.113.6 For dominion you wake one, another for glory, one for lofty sacrifice, another to pursue his aim.With her differing gifts of life she looks upon us: Dawn has awakened every being.

1.113.7 Here the daughter of Heaven has appeared, a young woman dawning in shining robes.Mistress of all earthly treasure, fortunate Dawn, shine here today.

1.113.8 She follows the path of those gone before, the first of those who forever come.Dawning, she rouses the living, yet Dawn awakens no one who has died.

1.113.9 Dawn, when you stirred Agni to be kindled and opened the way with Surya's eye,When you roused the people who would sacrifice, you did noble work among the gods.

1.113.10 How far shall she keep pace with the dawns that have dawned and those that will now dawn?Yearning, she follows the earlier ones; shining forth, she joins gladly with the others.

1.113.11 The mortals who saw your former dawning have gone away.Now you are seen by us; those who will see you in days to come are on their way.

1.113.12 Driving hatred away, guarding Truth and born of Truth, bearing kindness, uttering gracious words,Bringing fair blessings and the gods' delight, Dawn, shine here today, most excellent of all.

1.113.13 The goddess Dawn has shone from ancient times; generously she has shone forth today.She will shine through days to come, ageless, deathless, moving by her own laws.

1.113.14 With her bright adornments she has shone on the borders of heaven, drawing off her dark garment.Awakening all, Dawn comes in her well-yoked chariot drawn by ruddy horses.

1.113.15 Bearing gifts of nourishment worth choosing, she makes her brilliant sign known.Last of the dawns that have passed, first of those forever yet to shine, Dawn has gleamed.

1.113.16 Rise up! The breath of life has come to us; darkness has departed and light approaches.She has cleared the way for Surya to travel; we have reached the place where life is prolonged.

1.113.17 The singer lifts his voice with a hymn, praising the radiant dawns.Shine today, generous one, for your singer; kindle in us a life rich in children.

1.113.18 Those dawns rich in cows and heroes that shine for the mortal giver,He who presses soma shall gain them, bestowers of horses, with gracious words rising like the wind.

1.113.19 Mother of the gods, face of Aditi, great beacon of sacrifice, shine forth.Bring praise to our prayer and bring our people to birth, Dawn, desired by all.

1.113.20 Whatever splendid, gracious work the dawns bring to the worshiping man,May Mitra and Varuna grant it us, and Aditi, River, Earth, and Heaven.

Hymn 1.114 — Seer: Kutsa Angirasa. Deity: Rudra. Meter: Jagati, verses 10–11 Trishtubh.

1.114.1 To mighty Rudra of braided hair, lord of heroes, we offer these thoughts,That he may bring peace to two-footed and four-footed creatures, and all in this village flourish without disease.

1.114.2 Be gracious to us, Rudra, and give us joy; to you, lord of heroes, we bow in worship.The peace and welfare our father Manu sought: may we attain them under your guidance, Rudra.

1.114.3 Through worship of the gods may we win your favor, bountiful Rudra, lord of heroes.Come in kindness toward our people; with our heroes unharmed, we offer you oblation.

1.114.4 For help we call the fierce Rudra, master of sacrifice, keen, wise one.Let his divine anger be far from us; it is his favor we choose.

1.114.5 With reverence we call the ruddy boar of heaven, braided-haired, of dazzling form.Bearing precious remedies in his hand, may he grant us refuge, armor, and shelter.

1.114.6 This word is spoken to the father of the Maruts, a sweet increase sweeter than sweetness for Rudra.Grant us mortal food, immortal one; be gracious to ourselves, our children, and their children.

1.114.7 Do not strike our elder or our child, our growing youth or the fully grown;Do not kill our father or our mother, Rudra; do not hurt our dear bodies.

1.114.8 Do not harm our children, their children, our lives, our cows or our horses.Do not kill our warriors in your anger, Rudra; bearing oblations we call on you always.

1.114.9 Like a shepherd I have brought my praises to you; grant us favor, father of the Maruts.Your goodwill is gracious and most merciful; it is your help that we choose.

1.114.10 Keep far away your slaying of cattle and men; lord of heroes, let your favor be ours.Be gracious, god, speak in our defense, and grant us shelter in double measure.

1.114.11 Seeking help, we have spoken reverence to him; may Rudra with the Maruts hear our call.May Mitra and Varuna grant this us, and Aditi, River, Earth, and Heaven.

Hymn 1.115 — Seer: Kutsa Angirasa. Deity: Surya. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.115.1 The splendid face of the gods has risen, the eye of Mitra, Varuna, and Agni.Surya has filled heaven, earth, and the midair; he is the soul of all that moves and stands.

1.115.2 Surya follows the radiant goddess Ushas like a young man pursuing a woman.There god-loving men stretch out their labors age after age, good fortune following good.

1.115.3 Surya's bright bay horses, swift and radiant, are beautiful, worthy of praise.Bowing, they have mounted the back of heaven and instantly circle heaven and earth.

1.115.4 Such is Surya's godhead and greatness: midway through his work he gathers up the outspread light.When he unyokes his bay horses from their station, Night draws her garment over everything.

1.115.5 Before the gaze of Mitra and Varuna, Surya takes his form in heaven's lap.One part of his power shines boundless bright; another, dark, his bay horses gather up.

1.115.6 Today, gods, at Surya's rising, deliver us from distress and reproach.May Mitra and Varuna grant this us, and Aditi, River, Earth, and Heaven.

Hymn 1.116 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas, son of Ushij. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.116.1 For the Nasatyas I spread songs as ritual grass, lift hymns as wind raises clouds;For Vimada, seeking a bride, you swept her off in your battle-speeding chariot.

1.116.2 Whether by your swift strong wings or by the driving force of the gods, you prevailed;Your donkey, Nasatyas, won a thousand in Yama's contest of strength.

1.116.3 Tugra abandoned Bhujyu in the water-cloud, as one forsakes a dying man along with his wealth.You carried him in living ships, sailing through the air, unsinkable in water.

1.116.4 For three nights and three days, Nasatyas, you bore Bhujyu with your flying steeds,Across the water's wet wilderness, in three chariots, hundred-footed, drawn by six horses.

1.116.5 You showed your power where nothing can be grasped, on the unanchored sea without foothold,When you carried Bhujyu home, Ashvins, as he stood on a ship with a hundred oars.

1.116.6 The white horse you gave to Aghashva, Ashvins, to bring him lasting good fortune:Your great gift became renowned; Pedu's champion steed is always called on, a noble horse.

1.116.7 For your singer, Kakshivan of the Pajras, you dug up an overflowing treasure, heroes;From the hoof of a mighty horse you poured out a hundred jars of strong drink.

1.116.8 You kept the scorching heat of fire away with cold and gave him nourishing food.You drew Atri from the fiery pit, Ashvins, and brought all his companions safely up.

1.116.9 You raised up from afar, Nasatyas, a well with lofty base and crooked mouth.Its waters flowed like drink for thirsty Gotama and wealth for his thousands.

1.116.10 You stripped old age away from Chyavana, Nasatyas, like a worn-out robe;You prolonged the abandoned man's life, wondrous ones, and made him husband of young women.

1.116.11 Here is your praiseworthy deed, heroes, your welcome protection, Nasatyas:Knowing where Vandana lay hidden like buried treasure, you brought him to light.

1.116.12 For reward I reveal your mighty work, heroes, like rain from a thundercloud:How Dadhyanch, son of Atharvan, told you the honeyed secret through a horse's head.

1.116.13 Vadhrimati called on you, Nasatyas, in your great journey, rich in succor, bountiful;You heard her like a command and gave her Hiranyahasta, Ashvins.

1.116.14 From the wolf's jaws you freed the quail in her peril, Nasatyas, heroes;And you, rich in aid, gave sight to the poet when he was suffering.

1.116.15 In Khela's battle at the close of day, Vishpala's leg was cut away like a bird's wing.At once you fitted her with an iron leg to run for the prize at stake.

1.116.16 His father blinded Rijrashva for giving a hundred sheep to the she-wolf to devour.For him, Nasatyas, you gave eyes to see, wondrous healers who never fail.

1.116.17 Surya's daughter mounted your chariot as if winning the finish line with horses.All the gods consented in their hearts, and you, Nasatyas, joined her in splendor.

1.116.18 When you came to Divodasa, to Bharadvaja, swiftly answering, Ashvins,Your splendid chariot brought abundance, with a bull and a sea creature yoked to it.

1.116.19 Bearing wealth, good dominion, children, long life, and heroic strength, Nasatyas,You came together with riches to Jahnu's daughter, who gives her share three times a day.

1.116.20 You carried Jahusha, hemmed in on every side, through the night by easy paths across the sky;In your unobstructed chariot, Nasatyas, you crossed the mountains, ageless ones.

1.116.21 In a single night, Ashvins, you brought Vasha to Rana to win a thousand;Together with Indra you struck down the evil misfortunes and enemies of Prithushravas.

1.116.22 From the lowly burning hollow of the well, you raised water high for drinking;For weary Shayu too, Nasatyas, by your powers you filled the barren cow with milk.

1.116.23 For Krishna's son Vishvaka, seeking help, praising you and walking straight, Nasatyas,You restored Vishnapu to sight, like a lost animal found again.

1.116.24 For ten nights and nine days Rebha lay bound, broken, in hostile waters,Scattered and cast into the flood; you lifted him up like soma in a ladle.

1.116.25 I have proclaimed your wonders, Ashvins: may I have cattle, heroes, and be master of them;Seeing and enjoying a long life, may I reach old age as one reaches home.

Hymn 1.117 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas, son of Ushij. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.117.1 The ancient priest invites you, Ashvins, to delight in the sweet soma.The gift lies on ritual grass, the song spreads wide; come to us, Nasatyas, with nourishment.

1.117.2 Your chariot, Ashvins, swifter than thought and drawn by fine horses, visits the clans;In it you come to the home of the righteous: come by that way to us, heroes.

1.117.3 You freed the five-tribed seer Atri from distress and the fiery pit, with his companions,Undoing the evil Dasyu's magic, urging him forward step by step, mighty ones.

1.117.4 You drew the seer Rebha from the waters, heroes, like a horse hidden by the wicked;With your wonders you restored him, scattered and lost: your ancient deeds never grow old.

1.117.5 Like one sleeping in the lap of ruin, like Surya dwelling in darkness,Like a bright gold ornament buried out of sight, you raised Vandana up, Ashvins.

1.117.6 Your praiseworthy act, Nasatyas, for Kakshivan of the Pajras was this:From the hoof of a swift horse you poured a hundred jars of honey for the people.

1.117.7 For your singer, Krishna's son Vishvaka, you restored Vishnapu, heroes;And for Ghosha, aging in her father's house, you gave a husband, Ashvins.

1.117.8 You gave a shining bride to dark Shyava, and to the great Kanva a broad land, Ashvins;This feat of yours is worth proclaiming, mighty ones: you bestowed renown on Narshada.

1.117.9 Taking many forms, Ashvins, you brought Pedu a swift horse,The prize-winning, irresistible steed, serpent-slayer, glorious, victorious.

1.117.10 These praises to you, generous ones, are famous songs filling heaven and earth;When the Pajras call you, Ashvins, come with food and a prize for the wise man.

1.117.11 Praised with the song of Sunu, you dug up a prize for the inspired man, abundant ones;Strengthened by Agastya's prayer, you restored Vishpala, Nasatyas.

1.117.12 Where were you going when the poet called his fine praise, sons of Heaven, swift helpers?You lifted him up on the tenth day, Ashvins, like a buried jar of gold.

1.117.13 You made old Chyavana young again, Ashvins, by your powers;Surya's daughter chose your chariot and its splendor, Nasatyas.

1.117.14 By your ancient powers you became young again for Tugra, both of you;You bore Bhujyu from the ocean's waves on flying, straight-running horses.

1.117.15 Tugra's son called to you, Ashvins, cast upon the sea, going forth without fear;You carried him safely away in your well-yoked, thought-swift chariot, mighty ones.

1.117.16 The quail called to you, Ashvins, and you freed her from the wolf's mouth;You crossed the mountain ridge in triumph and cured the child struck by poison.

1.117.17 His unkind father sent Rijrashva into darkness for granting the she-wolf a hundred sheep;You set eyes in him, Ashvins, and gave the blind man sight and light.

1.117.18 The blind she-wolf called out to you, Ashvins: “Heroes, bring me health!”Rijrashva, her lover like a young man with a maiden, had given her a hundred and one sheep.

1.117.19 Great and joy-bringing is your help, Ashvins; you healed the crippled woman too, wise ones.Then Purandhi herself called on you; come to her aid, mighty ones.

1.117.20 For Shayu you filled with milk the barren cow, spent and dry, Ashvins of wondrous deeds;By your powers you carried off Purumitra's daughter to be Vimada's bride.

1.117.21 You sowed barley with the wolf, Ashvins, and milked nourishment for mankind, wondrous ones;You drove the Dasyu away with Bakura and made broad light for the Arya.

1.117.22 For Dadhyanch the Atharvan, Ashvins, you restored a horse's head;With it he told you the honeyed secret of Truth, wondrous ones, Tvashtar's secret hidden from you.

1.117.23 Wise ones, I have always sought your goodwill; protect all my thoughts, Ashvins.Grant us great wealth, Nasatyas, bringing children and lasting fame.

1.117.24 You gave Vadhrimati a son, Hiranyahasta, heroes, as a gift;You brought back Shyava, cut in three, to life, Ashvins, generous ones.

1.117.25 These ancient deeds of yours, Ashvins, the descendants of Ayu have proclaimed.Composing prayers for you, mighty ones, may we speak in council, rich in heroes.

1.118.1 Let your chariot come near, Ashvins, falcon-winged, gracious, splendid,Swifter than a mortal's thought, three-seated, mighty ones, racing like wind.

1.118.2 In your three-seated, threefold chariot, with three wheels and easy motion, come to us;Fill our cows with milk, speed our horses, and make our hero grow, Ashvins.

1.118.3 Come by your swift chariot, wondrous ones, and hear this song of the pressing stone.What, Ashvins, is the nearest path of your return? The ancient sages ask.

1.118.4 May your falcons bring you, Ashvins, swift winged steeds yoked to your chariot,Who, as tireless as heavenly eagles, bear you toward the offered food, Nasatyas.

1.118.5 Here let Surya's daughter, finding joy in you, mount your chariot, heroes;Let your lovely flying ruddy horses bear you swiftly here, like birds.

1.118.6 By your wonders you raised Vandana; by your powers you lifted Rebha, mighty healers;You ferried Tugra's son from the sea and made Chyavana young again.

1.118.7 For Atri, sunk in the pit, you prepared food to drive away heat, Ashvins;To Kanva, harmed and blinded, you restored sight, welcoming his fine praise.

1.118.8 For ancient Shayu in need, you filled the cow with milk, Ashvins;You freed the quail from peril and fitted Vishpala with a new leg.

1.118.9 You gave Pedu the white horse, driven by Indra, serpent-killer, Ashvins,Invincible champion, vanquisher of foes, winning thousands, vigorous, strong-limbed.

1.118.10 Well-born heroes, Ashvins, we call on you, asking for your protection.Come in your wealth-laden chariot for our welfare, welcoming our songs.

1.118.11 With the falcon's new-found speed come to us together, Nasatyas;For I, Rat havya, call you, Ashvins, at the dawning of the oldest Dawn.

Hymn 1.119 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas, son of Ushij. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Jagati.

1.119.1 I call your many-wondrous, thought-swift chariot for life, its horses quick, fit for sacrifice;Thousand-bannered, richly laden, bearing a hundred treasures, prompt to heed, opening paths toward the feast.

1.119.2 My hymn is raised to greet its approach; the directions meet in glad expectation.I taste the heated drink; helpers come to meet us: Ashvins, mount your strength-bearing chariot.

1.119.3 When rival hosts meet, contending in battle for splendor, unmeasured in daring,Your chariot, Ashvins, is seen descending the slope, bearing Surya, the chosen bride.

1.119.4 You carried struggling Bhujyu home to his parents on your self-yoked birds;You came, mighty ones, on the victorious path to Divodasa; your help was great.

1.119.5 Your chariot, Ashvins, yoked for your beauty, both brides drew to themselves in strength;The maiden seeking marriage and companionship chose you both as husbands, victorious ones.

1.119.6 You saved Rebha from the enclosing waters and cooled the heat that scorched Atri;You filled Shayu's cow with milk, and prolonged Vandana's life beyond its span.

1.119.7 You restored Vandana, worn down by age, as craftsmen rebuild a chariot, wondrous ones;You brought the seer forth from the field with song: your wonders have appeared for the worshiper here.

1.119.8 You came to one in distress far away, oppressed by his own father's abandonment;Your dazzling, sunlit aids and wondrous rescues were close at hand.

1.119.9 And the honeyed bee sang your praise when Ushij's son invoked you in the exhilaration of soma;You won the mind of Dadhyanch, and his horse's head spoke to you.

1.119.10 You favored Pedu's white horse, Ashvins, chosen to cross through many contests,Unconquerable in battles with arrows, ever active, subduer of men like Indra.

Hymn 1.120 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas, son of Ushij. Deity: the Ashvins (verse 12: destruction of bad dreams). Meter: Gayatri, Kakubh, Viraj, Nashtarupi, Tanushira, Ushnih, Vishtara-Brihati, Kriti, Viraj, and Gayatri (verses 10–12).

1.120.1 What offering, Ashvins, will satisfy you both? What will please you?How can one who does not understand worship you?

1.120.2 A man who knows would ask another who knows; one ignorant and witless cannot.What now of a mortal still unskilled?

1.120.3 We call you both, who know; speak your wise counsel to us today.The devoted singer raises his song, longing for you.

1.120.4 I ask the gods as an innocent might, wondrous ones, about your marvelous sacrificial cry;Guard us from the mighty and rescue us from those who would seize us.

1.120.5 Let my voice go forth, ringing like Ghosha's hymn among the Bhrigus,The voice with which the Pajra worships you, knowing his charge.

1.120.6 You heard Takvan's Gayatri song; I too have sung to you, Ashvins;Give me eyes, lords of beauty.

1.120.7 You two possess great power, or you have attained it for yourselves;Be our treasure-bearing, watchful guardians; protect us from the evil wolf.

1.120.8 Do not hand us over to any enemy; do not let our cows stray from our homes,Those milk-giving mothers with their young.

1.120.9 Let them give milk for a friend's support; measure out wealth and plenty for us together,Measure out food and cows for us.

1.120.10 The Ashvins' seat is their horseless chariot, the seat of the prize-winning pair;With it I long for abundant treasure.

1.120.11 This chariot will carry me among the people;Easy-riding is the chariot bound for the soma drink.

1.120.12 Then the nightmare and the rich man who shares nothing,Both of them, you two, shall perish.

Hymn 1.121 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas, son of Ushij. Deity: Indra or the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.121.1 When will the vessel of the men who love the gods hear the swift Angirases' songs?When the worshipful one spreads out among the clans, across the hall, and strides broad at the sacrifice.

1.121.2 He propped up heaven, its support, and shook it; the skillful one won cattle's wealth for the men;The mighty bull looked upon his own-born lady, the mare, the cow's mother.

1.121.3 The ancient king came to the call of the red mares, swift among the Angirases' tribes day after day;He fashioned his mace, harnessed his team, and supported heaven for the four-footed and the two-footed man.

1.121.4 In his exhilaration he gave the sunlit world to Truth and disclosed the hidden face of the cows;When the three-peaked one turned in their release, he opened the doors against the deceiver of man.

1.121.5 For you the two parents poured their milk, their generous seed, strong and abundant;They offered you the pure wealth of the ever-milking bright cow, her milk.

1.121.6 Then the swift one was born, to rejoice, shining forth like Surya from radiant Dawn;The sparkling soma by which he was gladdened, poured with the ladle, reached his age-old home.

1.121.7 When the woodcutter works with kindling and axe, and the radiant priest moves around the cattle's enclosure,You blaze forth in your deeds day after day, for the restless people's food and cattle.

1.121.8 The driver yoked the two bay horses from mighty heaven to this place, to win renown against the warriors' spring;They milked for your growth with stones the exhilarating, wind-swept, vigorous juice of the cow.

1.121.9 You rolled back the iron stone of the cow, the skillfully guided rock of heaven,When, much-invoked one, fighting for Kutsa, you circled Shushna with endless blows.

1.121.10 Before the sun vanished in darkness, mace-bearer, you shattered that treacherous device;Even the power Shushna had hidden, knotted tightly across heaven, you seized.

1.121.11 The great expanses followed your strength; heaven and earth rejoiced in your deed, Indra.With your mighty mace you pierced Vritra, lying in the channels, the wild boar who confined the waters.

1.121.12 You, Indra, heroic one, stand by the men you protect; harness the swiftest, well-yoked steeds of wind;The thrilling, Vritra-slaying mace that wise Ushanas fashioned for you was fit to cross the great divide.

1.121.13 You halted Surya's bay horses and brought his wheel to men, Indra, when Etasha could not advance;You sent ninety streams over the far bank and overturned the pit on the godless.

1.121.14 Protect us, Indra, mace-bearer, from this hard-to-resist evil, from peril at hand;Grant us chariot-prizes and horse-won food, fame and gracious speech.

1.121.15 Let your favor not forsake us; great winner of prizes, may gifts of food gather round us.Share cows with us, generous friend; may we join your most abundant feast.

Hymn 1.122 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas, son of Ushij. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh (verses 5–6: Viraj).

1.122.1 Pour out the drink, you whose anger flies swiftly; bring the sacrifice to generous Rudra.He has been praised, heaven's lord, among the warriors, like an archer's quiver, Maruts, between heaven and earth.

1.122.2 Dawn and Night, like a wife delighting in the first invitation, finding yourselves in many places,Clothe yourselves like a woman in a woven gown, beautiful with Surya's brilliance and gold.

1.122.3 May the all-embracing, rain-rich one delight us; may the wind, bull of the waters, delight us.Indra and Parvata, sharpen us; may all the gods make wide room for us.

1.122.4 And may those of good fame hear my call for Shvetana and guard Ushij's son;Proclaim the child of waters and the two mothers of the wandering life.

1.122.5 I call you to hear the cry of Ushij's son, as Ghosha's song found Arjuna;I speak for Pushan's gift, for Agni's wealth.

1.122.6 Hear my call, Mitra and Varuna; hear it from your seat on every side.May the generous hearer hear us, and the river rich with water and good lands.

1.122.7 Mitra and Varuna, I praise your gift of a hundred cows among the Pajras, rich in nourishment;With Shrutaratha and Priyaratha they arrived, bearing swift, abundant prosperity.

1.122.8 I praise the bounty of this generous patron: may we gain it with strong sons among the Nahushas;The generous man gave the Pajras prize-winning horses and chariots for me.

1.122.9 The one who cheats you, Mitra and Varuna, offers you no libation, dishonestly, like one withholding water;He plants sickness in his own heart when the keeper of Truth is approached with offerings.

1.122.10 That Nahusha, driven by mighty deeds, surpasses the hosts of men and wins good fame;Liberal in gifts and swift in strength, the hero rides through every battle.

1.122.11 May you come to the generous Nahusha's call, kings, hearers, glad in immortality;When his sky-speeding wealth goes forth for praise, great with chariots.

1.122.12 “Set this patron's host in place,” they said of the man of tenfold gifts;In them riches and treasure have found a home: may all gain the prize in their contests.

1.122.13 We delight in the tenfold giver's gift, when twice five bring their offerings of food;With well-loved horses and reins they lead the men to victory, their own masters.

1.122.14 Gold-eared, jewel-necked is the flowing flood; may all the gods grant us ample room;Our benefactor's songs came at once, and the cows found delight among both our peoples.

1.122.15 Four strong steeds of Masharshara came to me, three of victorious King Ayavasa;Your chariot, Mitra and Varuna, with its far-reaching form and woven reins, shone like the sun.

Hymn 1.123 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas, son of Ushij. Deity: Ushas. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.123.1 The broad chariot of the bountiful one was yoked; the deathless gods mounted it.The noble one rose out of the dark, separating, taking thought for the dwelling of men.

1.123.2 She woke before all the world, winning the prize, great and triumphant;The ever-returning maiden shone on high; Dawn came first at the early call.

1.123.3 As you divide the day's share among men, well-born goddess Dawn, here among mortals,May Savitar, guardian of our home, tell Surya we are free of wrong.

1.123.4 Day after day she visits every house, bearing the same name each day;Yearning to win, radiant, she comes forever, claiming the foremost of treasures.

1.123.5 Sister of Bhaga, kin of Varuna, gracious Dawn, be first to wake.Let the maker of evil fall behind; with the chariot of bounty may we overcome him.

1.123.6 Let gracious words and generous thoughts arise; the fires stand flaming high.The shining dawns reveal treasures worth desiring, hidden by the dark.

1.123.7 The one recedes, the other approaches; the two unlike days travel together.One makes darkness conceal the world; Dawn lights it with her shining chariot.

1.123.8 Today and tomorrow, alike in form, they keep Varuna's long ordinance;Faultless, each at once traverses thirty leagues according to her purpose.

1.123.9 Knowing the name of the day's beginning, bright, white-robed, she was born from blackness;The maiden of Truth does not transgress its law, coming day by day to her appointed place.

1.123.10 Like a maiden proud of her body, goddess, you come toward the god who would seek you;Smiling before us as a young woman, you unveil your breasts as you shine.

1.123.11 Beautiful as a woman bathed by her mother, you reveal your form for us to see.Shine far and wide in beauty, Dawn; the other dawns cannot rival you.

1.123.12 Rich in horses and cattle, desired by all, striving with Surya's beams,The dawns go away and return, bearing their name of blessing.

1.123.13 Following the ray of Truth, place in us each good and gracious purpose.Shine today, Dawn, ready to hear; may riches dwell with us and with the generous.

Hymn 1.124 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas, son of Ushij. Deity: Ushas. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.124.1 Dawn shines as Agni is kindled and Surya rises, spreading vast light.May Savitar set two-footed and four-footed creatures in motion to fulfill our purpose.

1.124.2 Never failing the divine ordinances, she lessens the generations of men;Last of the dawns departed, first of those forever coming, Dawn has shone.

1.124.3 The daughter of Heaven appears again, clothed in light before us all alike;She follows Truth's path straight, as one who knows the way and never strays.

1.124.4 She appears like a beauty revealing her breast, as a poet reveals his cherished works;Awakening sleepers like one who feeds the hungry, she comes again, the oldest of those returning.

1.124.5 In the eastern half of the watery sky, mother of cows, she has set forth her sign;She spreads ever wider, filling the laps of both her parents.

1.124.6 So this most ancient one comes to be seen; she does not exclude stranger or kin.Rejoicing in her spotless body, shining, she fears neither the small nor the great.

1.124.7 Like a woman with no brother she comes toward men, like one mounting a wagon to win treasure;Like a wife eager for her husband, well dressed, Dawn strips away the darkness with laughter.

1.124.8 Sister has given her elder sister room, departing as the other comes into view;Dawning with Surya's rays, she adorns herself like women going to a gathering.

1.124.9 Among these sister days, an earlier one is followed by a later one;Like those of old, may the new dawns now shine on us, prosperous with fair days.

1.124.10 Wake the generous giver, Dawn; let the Panis sleep on unawakened.Shine with riches for the generous, generous one, kindling the singer with gracious words.

1.124.11 This maiden has come forth; before us she yokes her team of ruddy cows.Now her sign will shine; Agni stands at every house.

1.124.12 At your dawning even birds have flown from their nests, and men rise to take their fathers' share.You bring many blessings home to the mortal giver, goddess Dawn.

1.124.13 With my worthy hymn I have praised you; I have strengthened you, ardent dawns.With your aid, goddesses, may we win a prize of hundreds and thousands.

Hymn 1.125 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas, son of Ushij. Deity: praise of Svanaya's gifts. Meter: Trishtubh, verses 4–5 Jagati.

1.125.1 The early visitor bestows treasure in the morning; the wise man receives and keeps it.With it he increases children and life, growing rich and vigorous among his heroes.

1.125.2 Let him have fine cattle, gold, and horses; Indra grants him a long life,Who, early visitor, frees a needy man with wealth, as one frees a foot from a snare.

1.125.3 This man has come early today seeking good deeds, riding in a wealthy chariot, son of sacrifice;Give him the pressed, intoxicating soma to drink; strengthen the lord of heroes with kind words.

1.125.4 Streams of joy flow toward the man who sacrifices, and cows to the man about to sacrifice;Streams of clarified butter flow on every side toward the generous, prolific man who seeks renown.

1.125.5 He who gives ascends to heaven's summit and moves among the gods;For him the rivers stream with butter; for him this gift of bounty swells forever.

1.125.6 Splendid things belong to those who give gifts; theirs are the suns in heaven.The givers share immortality; the givers prolong their lives.

1.125.7 Let no evil befall those who give, let the generous men of good ordinance never grow old;Let some other fate surround them; let griefs close in on those who give nothing.

Hymn 1.126 — Seers: verses 1–5 Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas, son of Ushij; verse 6 Svanaya Bhavayavya; verse 7 Romasha. Deities: verses 1–5 Svanaya Bhavayavya; verse 6 Romasha; verse 7 Svanaya Bhavayavya. Meter: Trishtubh, verses 6–7 Anushtubh.

1.126.1 With clear thought I offer stirring songs for Bhavya, dwelling beside the Sindhu,Who measured out a thousand gifts for me, the undefeated king seeking glory.

1.126.2 At once I accepted from the gracious king a hundred gold pieces, a hundred harnessed horses;Kakshivan received a hundred cows from the lord and spread his ageless fame in heaven.

1.126.3 Ten dark chariots given by Svanaya, with brides in them, came to me;Then sixty thousand cattle followed; Kakshivan won them at the end of the day.

1.126.4 Forty red steeds in front of a thousand lead the procession of the ten chariots;The Pajras of Kakshivan made the eager, lean-flanked racers shine.

1.126.5 After the first gift I received eight cattle yoked in threes, with broad carts;Well-bound together, like the people in their ranks, the chariot-bearing Pajras sought renown.

1.126.6 She who clasps and enfolds me, fluttering like a little bird,Gives me what is dear to me, hundreds of delights to enjoy.

1.126.7 Come close and touch me; do not think my charms too slight.I am all covered in hair, like a ewe of Gandhara.

Hymn 1.127 — Seer: Parucchepa, son of Divodasa. Deity: Agni. Meter: Atyashti, verse 6 Atidhriti.

1.127.1 I think of Agni the priest as a generous treasure, son of strength, Jatavedas, inspired like a sage;The god rising upright for sacred rites seeks the gods, his flame answering the gleam of poured butter.

1.127.2 As worshipers we call you, most worthy of worship, eldest of the Angirases, bright one, with inspired songs;You range like heaven, priest of the peoples, flame-haired bull, whom the clans urge on for aid.

1.127.3 Glowing with gold, his strength overcomes many deceivers, an axe against deceivers;In the struggle he masters even what is firm as forest wood, overcoming by power, unconquerable in the wasteland.

1.127.4 Even strong doors open for him; with his fiercest fire-sticks he burns, offering aid to Agni;With flame he penetrates far, carving the forest, breaking even solid food and firm things with force.

1.127.5 Let us set his nourishment upon the heights, he who shines brighter at night than day and never fades;May he take up the span of life and give a strong shelter to his son: the deathless fires accept both offered and unoffered food.

1.127.6 He roars like the Maruts' host, moving through fruitful fields without harming them;He takes oblations, worthy beacon of sacrifice; all men welcome his joyful, quivering path, as a path to beauty.

1.127.7 When the Bhrigus, striving toward heaven, rubbed him forth and worshiped him, offering praise,Agni rules treasures; pure, their sustainer, the wise one wins the beloved secret riches.

1.127.8 We call you lord of all peoples, common master of every home, to enjoy the true song;Guest of men, whose mouth is like a father's, bring all the deathless gods to our offerings.

1.127.9 You are born, Agni, mightiest in strength and vigor, for the gods like wealth for the gods;Mightiest is your rapture and most splendid your purpose; the watchful serve you, ageless one.

1.127.10 May a hymn arise for mighty, powerful Agni, awake at dawn and guarding the herds;Bearing oblation, I call him in every dwelling; in the van the seer sings, swift priest of seers.

1.127.11 Bring near to us, Agni, with the gods and wise in your care, great wealth plainly visible;Give us greatness to see and enjoy, most powerful one; generous god, grant singers heroic strength.

Hymn 1.128 — Seer: Parucchepa, son of Divodasa. Deity: Agni. Meter: Atyashti.

1.128.1 Agni was born in man's keeping, priest most fit to sacrifice, following the eager one's ordinance and his own;Heeds every call for friendship and fame like treasure; unconquered, the priest takes his seat in the place of refreshment.

1.128.2 Let us fan the accomplisher of sacrifice on Truth's path, with reverence and oblations to the gods;He brings us nourishment and never wearies in his work, the god Matarishvan brought for Manu from afar.

1.128.3 Swiftly he circles the earth, repeatedly roaring as a bull scattering his seed;The god sees a hundred things through his eyes, triumphant in the woods, Agni seated on far mountain heights.

1.128.4 Wise Agni, priest appointed in every house, knows the sacrifice by his design;The maker, seeking nourishment, touches all creatures, the butter-bright guest born as wise bearer of offerings.

1.128.5 When his purpose joins his might, Agni's aid comes like a feast of Maruts to seek food;He impels the distribution of goods with his force and saves us from crooked evil and hateful slander.

1.128.6 He encompasses all; the tireless treasure-bearer keeps riches in his right hand, swift in pursuit of fame;He is invoked for every man to bring oblation to the gods; Agni opens the doors to every doer of good.

1.128.7 Placed among men, Agni is most gracious, dear in sacrifice like a conquering clan-lord;He rules the offerings men prepare with praise and saves us from great Varuna's deceit.

1.128.8 They praise Agni the priest, holder of treasure, dear, most wise; they kindle the tireless carrier of offerings;To him, knowing all life, worthy priest and seer, the gods longing for wealth sing lovely songs for aid.

Hymn 1.129 — Seer: Parucchepa, son of Divodasa. Deity: Indra (verse 6: Soma). Meter: Atyashti, verses 8–9 Atishakvari, verse 11 Ashti.

1.129.1 The chariot you lead to win wisdom, Indra, though distant, you bring near, swift and blameless;At once make it ready and its steeds obedient for our aid, eager faultless one, and hear this word of craftsmen.

1.129.2 Hear us, Indra, you who in every battle answer the men calling on your skill to overcome;With heroes you win sunlight, with poets the prize; they honor you as their lord, champion as a racing steed.

1.129.3 Wondrous hero, you swell the bull's hide and encompass every unruly mortal;To you, Indra, and to heaven, to glorious Rudra, to Mitra and gracious, far-reaching Varuna I speak.

1.129.4 We desire Indra as our friend for help, long-lived, mighty ally in contests;Protect our prayer in every battle: no enemy crosses you, for you strike every foe down.

1.129.5 Bend down even Kayasa's hostile thought with your fiercest arrows of aid, your mighty help;Guide us as of old, hero, knowing us guiltless; carry us across all Purus' strongholds.

1.129.6 Let me speak this to life-giving Soma, who glitters like a summoned, arrow-bearing thought, slayer of demons;May he himself defeat our defamer's evil mind with weapons; let the malicious one sink low like a petty stream.

1.129.7 May we win wealth through perceptive priesthood, rich in heroes, pleasant in its power;With good counsel let us join the ill-minded to our food and call glorious Indra with true invocations.

1.129.8 Fill us with your glorious aid: Indra is a breaker of malicious minds;Let such a mind perish of itself when it approaches us, hurled away like a dry branch that bears no fruit.

1.129.9 Come to us with ample wealth, Indra, along unhindered, demon-free paths;Stand with us far away and near home; always protect us from afar and close at hand with your aid.

1.129.10 Bring us victorious wealth, Indra; though fierce, let your greatness come as a great friend's help;Strongest guardian, immortal protector, turn some other man away from us, mace-bearer, anyone who would harm us.

1.129.11 Protect us, well-praised Indra, from the plots and ever-hostile thoughts of the wicked;God who strikes the evil demon and guards the poet, your father made you a demon-slayer, generous one.

Hymn 1.130 — Seer: Parucchepa, son of Divodasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Atyashti, verse 10 Trishtubh.

1.130.1 Come to us, Indra, from afar, as a true lord to councils, a true king to his house;We call you as the soma is pressed, bringing offerings, as sons call a father to win prizes, the most generous father.

1.130.2 Drink the soma pressed by stones, Indra, poured from the bowl like water from a well for a thirsty bull;For delight and your most powerful refreshment, let your bay horses bear you here like Surya, the sun before all.

1.130.3 He found heaven's hidden treasure, like a bird's embryo sealed in endless stone;The mace-bearer, foremost Angirasa, seeking the cows' enclosure, Indra opened the shut gates of nourishment.

1.130.4 Clasping his mace, Indra sharpened its edge like a blade to strike the serpent;Wrapping himself in force and power, Indra, you fell the wooded tree like a carpenter with an axe.

1.130.5 You released the rivers, Indra, to run freely to the sea like chariots racing for prizes;They set out from here, all bound for a single unfailing goal, milking bounty for Manu's people like cows.

1.130.6 Desiring wealth, the sons of Ayu fashioned this word for your favor, as a skilled maker shapes a chariot;Adorning you, inspired one, as a champion among prizes, like a steed prepared to win all wealth.

1.130.7 For generous Puru's son Divodasa you broke ninety forts with your mace, Indra, dancer of war;For Atithigva you cast Shambara down from the mountain, dividing all his great riches by your might.

1.130.8 In every clash, in every sun-winning battle, hundred-helped Indra saved the Arya worshiper;For Manu he subdued the lawless, the dark-skinned foe, burning the starving one like fire consuming dry wood.

1.130.9 The hero tore off the wheel with his inborn strength; at day's end Aruna stole the word, eager to seize it;When wise Ushanas came from far away to help, all blessings came, like man's champion over every day.

1.130.10 Protector who does mighty deeds, with new hymns and strong guardians shield us;Praised among the Divodasas, Indra, grow as heaven grows with the days.

Hymn 1.131 — Seer: Parucchepa, son of Divodasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Atyashti.

1.131.1 For Indra heaven bent low, for Indra the broad earth spread wide to win splendor;All the gods together placed Indra at their head: let every human soma-pressing be offered to Indra.

1.131.2 At every pressing they stir you, the same sole bull, though each seeks the sun separately;We place you like a ferryboat at the yoke of strength; the sons of Ayu honor Indra with sacrifice and song.

1.131.3 The pair seeking help pressed you, Indra, to release the cattle from their stall;When you bring together two peoples seeking cows and sun, reveal your strong, allied mace, Indra.

1.131.4 The Purus know your prowess, when you shattered the autumn forts with overwhelming power, Indra;You punished the godless mortal, lord of strength, and took the great earth and these waters in your joy.

1.131.5 Then men sang your prowess in delight, bull, when you aided the Ushijes seeking friendship;You cleared a way for them through battles, and they won river after river in pursuit of fame.

1.131.6 Now accept this dawn and take notice of the hymn and oblation offered in our quest for light;When you intend to strike the enemies, Indra, bull, mace-bearer, hear this newest work of my inspired mind.

1.131.7 With growing power, Indra, hero born in strength, strike with your mace the mortal who treats us as enemies;Strike anyone who plots us harm, you who hear so well; let every evil thought depart our journey.

Hymn 1.132 — Seer: Parucchepa, son of Divodasa. Deity: Indra (first half of verse 6: Indra and Parvata). Meter: Atyashti.

1.132.1 With your protection, generous Indra, may we conquer in the ancient contest and overcome our attackers;Speak today for the presser, near at hand; in this sacrifice let us choose victory in battle for the prize.

1.132.2 At the word of the dawn-awakened, striding to win sunlight on his straight path,Indra struck head after head as was fitting; may your lovely gifts come together to us, giver of blessings.

1.132.3 That bright ancient delight of yours, in the sacrifice where they made a shelter within Truth's dwelling,Proclaim it again; inside they see by the rays; Indra the cattle-seeker knows the way for his kinsmen.

1.132.4 Tell now as of old what deserves telling: how you opened the pen for the Angirases and gave its cattle, Indra;Grant us the same, win and fight for us; bring any lawless, angry enemy under the soma-pressers' power.

1.132.5 When you, hero, watch over men with your counsels, seekers of glory triumph in the struggle for wealth;To you, Indra, they sing for life and offspring in adversity; their thoughts find a home with you, as with the gods.

1.132.6 Indra and Parvata, strike down with your mace any who battles us, each foremost warrior;Even at a distance let him fall into a deep pit; hero, break our enemies on every side.

Hymn 1.133 — Seer: Parucchepa, son of Divodasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh, verses 2–4 Anushtubh, verse 5 Gayatri, verse 6 Dhriti, verse 7 Ashti.

1.133.1 I purify both heaven and earth with Truth and burn the great godless deceivers;Where our enemies lay slain, I destroy their haunted resting place utterly.

1.133.2 Even the heads of the sorceresses as they swoop, mace-bearer,Cut off with your great crushing foot, your mighty foot.

1.133.3 Strike down their hosts, generous one, the sorceresses,At the little ruin and the great haunted ruin.

1.133.4 Their thrice fifty you scattered with sweeping strokes;That deed is surely yours to remember, yours to remember.

1.133.5 Crush the tawny-haired, piercing fiend, Indra;Sweep every demon away.

1.133.6 Break open the vastness, Indra, and hear us; heaven glows, earth quakes with fear, mace-bearer;Most powerful with mighty weapons, you go forth, unconquered hero, not killing men, with three times seven allies.

1.133.7 The presser wins a flourishing home, for by pressing and sacrificing he drives off the gods' enemies;The presser seeks a thousand unfailing prizes, and Indra gives the presser present wealth.

1.134.2 Let these exhilarating drops gladden you, Vayu, well made by us, bright with the milk, striving toward heaven;When they are prepared to rouse strength, your allies come united, the teams answer our offering and thoughts.

1.134.3 Vayu yokes the ruddy horses, Vayu the red, Vayu the swift steeds to his chariot's foremost yoke;Wake generous Thought like a lover waking his sleeping beloved; reveal heaven and earth, illumine the dawns for fame.

1.134.4 For you the pure dawns from afar spread lovely garments on their shining, ever-new rays;For you the ever-milking cow yields every treasure, and you brought forth the Maruts from the riverbeds of heaven.

1.134.5 For you the bright, pure, swift ones fiercely seek the waters in their rapture;The longing singer praises you as Bhaga in battle; by your ordinance you shield us from every world and from Surya.

1.134.6 You, Vayu, are worthy to drink first of these fresh-pressed somas of ours;Among the clans that summon you and have chosen you, all your cows yield the rich milk-mixture and butter.

1.135.1 Come to our strewn ritual grass for the feast, Vayu, with thousands and hundreds of your teams;For you, god, the gods reserved the first drink; sweet pressed drops await your delight and your will.

1.135.2 This soma, pressed with stones, purified for you, flows beautifully clothed around the vessel, shining as it flows;This soma is your share among the sons of Ayu, offered among the gods; bring your teams, Vayu, come to us gladly.

1.135.3 Come with teams in hundreds and thousands to feast on our sacrifice and offerings, Vayu;This proper share, radiating with light, accompanies Surya: brought by the priests, the bright drops await you.

1.135.4 Let your team-drawn chariot carry you to the prepared foods for our help and feast, Indra and Vayu;Drink the sweet juice, whose first draft is yours; come with glittering bounty, Vayu and Indra.

1.135.5 Our thoughts turn to you at the rites; they cleanse this swift racing drop like a prize horse;Drink these for our sake, come here to help us, Indra and Vayu, to rejoice in what the stones have pressed.

1.135.6 These somas pressed here in the waters were brought by priests, shining for you, Vayu;These swift drops were sent through the filter, eager for you, through the woolen fleece.

1.135.7 Pass those who sleep, Vayu, and come where the pressing stone speaks; go there with Indra;Kind speech shines forth, butter flows; with your full teams go to the sacrifice, both of you.

1.135.8 Here you carry the honeyed oblation for which victors stand by the ashvattha tree; let those victors be ours;Together the cows bring forth and the barley ripens; your milking cows, Vayu, never fail or dwindle.

1.135.9 These strong-armed bulls of yours, Vayu, race within the rivers, great bulls growing in power;Even over wasteland and rocky mountains they are tireless and swift, hard to restrain as Surya's rays in your hands.

1.136.2 A broad path has appeared for the journey, the path of Truth, meeting with Bhaga's eye and rays;Mitra's shining seat, and Aryaman's and Varuna's: there they establish great praiseworthy life and splendor.

1.136.3 Day after day they sustain Aditi, dwelling in light, and the sunlit earth, vigilant each day;The Adityas, lords of bounty, possess radiant dominion; Mitra, Varuna, and Aryaman guide mankind.

1.136.4 This most pleasant soma, Mitra and Varuna, has gained its share among the drinking gods;Let all the gods gladly accept it today; grant what we ask, kings who keep Truth.

1.136.5 The man who honors Mitra and Varuna, a mortal giver, you shelter from distress;Aryaman protects the man who walks straight by the ordinance, who adorns your ordinance with hymns and songs.

1.136.6 I speak reverence to great Heaven and both worlds, to generous, merciful Mitra and Varuna;Praise Indra and Agni, radiant Aryaman and Bhaga; may we live long with children through Soma's help.

1.136.7 With Indra and the glorious Maruts may we possess the gods' help;May Agni, Mitra, and Varuna grant shelter; may the generous and we ourselves attain it.

1.137.2 Come to these drops, somas blended with curds, pressed and waiting;Awake with the dawn and Surya's rays: this lovely offering was pressed for Mitra and Varuna to drink in Truth.

1.137.3 They milk this shoot as if it were a cow, with the stones they milk the soma;Come near to us both to drink: this soma, Mitra and Varuna, men have pressed for you to drink.

1.138.2 As if clearing your quick path, Pushan, with songs I call you to crush resistance like a camel;A mortal calls you, joy-bringing god, for friendship; give our praises splendor among prizes.

1.138.3 Those wise in your friendship, Pushan, found delight in your help through their purpose;Following them we seek your newer team and wealth; far-famed one, never angry, be our ally in every contest.

1.138.4 Be here to help us win, giving freely, goat-horsed one, as men seek fame;With fitting songs we turn to you, wondrous Pushan; I do not scorn you, radiant one, or deny your friendship.

1.139.2 Mitra and Varuna, when by your own anger you distinguished falsehood from Truth, by your own skill,We beheld your golden presence in your dwellings, with our minds, our thoughts, our very eyes that look on soma.

1.139.3 The god-loving sons of Ayu make you hear their hymn with songs and oblations, Ashvins;On you rest all splendors and all nourishment, all-knowing ones, glittering on the golden rims of your chariot.

1.139.4 Your wonder is revealed; you open heaven, healers, and your chariot-horses are harnessed for journeys above;Let us stand on your golden chariot's seat, wondrous ones, guiding the air on the straight path as travelers guide the road.

1.139.5 With your powers, rich in power, help us by day and by night;Let your gifts to us never fail, nor ours to you, ever.

1.139.6 Indra the bull, these bull-giving drops are pressed by stones for you, bursting with strength;Let them thrill you to give great, splendid wealth; come, praised by songs, kindly come to us.

1.139.7 Hear us, Agni, when praised; speak to the gods, the royal ones worthy of sacrifice;The gods gave that cow to the Angirases, and Aryaman milked her with a cutter; I know her well.

1.139.8 Let your ancient heroic might and splendor never age away from us, Maruts;In every age reveal your wondrous, deathless glory and establish among us what none can overcome.

1.139.9 Dadhyanch knows my lineage, as did the ancient Angirasa, Priyamedha, Kanva, Atri, and Manu;Their way leads to the gods; our kinship is with them; in their footsteps I bow to Indra and Agni with mighty song.

1.139.10 Let the priest sacrifice; let forest dwellers choose the desired gift; Brihaspati worships with bulls of many kinds;We have seized the far-reaching call, the pressing stone's song; the wise one has upheld many dwellings against foes.

1.139.11 You gods who are eleven in heaven and eleven on earth,And eleven dwelling in waters by your greatness: gods, accept this sacrifice.

Hymn 1.140 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Jagati (verses 10, 12–13 Trishtubh).

1.140.1 For Agni on the altar, dear in his home and shining bright, I bring his birthplace like nourishing food;With thought clothe the pure, light-charioted, brilliant-colored slayer of dark as with a garment.

1.140.2 Twice-born, thrice-fed, he cleanses his food, growing through the year and consuming it again;The victorious bull licks one thing with his tongue, and the forest bull grazes another.

1.140.3 His two companions tremble on the dark path, both mothers cross over to their child,His tongue stretched forward, destroying, quick to move, a swelling child near his father's side.

1.140.4 Quick-running, dark-tracked steeds long to escape for the human who desires men;Unequal, swift and bounding, urged by the wind, these eager ones are yoked.

1.140.5 Then they race free and cast down the vast dark shape, making a mighty form;When he touches the great earth, he comes breathing and thundering, roaring aloud.

1.140.6 Like a lover bowing over brown maidens, like a bull he roars toward his wives;His body swells with force, and the terrible one brandishes his horns, hard to grasp.

1.140.7 He gathers them all, knowing them as they know him, lying always in their embrace;They grow again and return to the divine, changing their forms together with their parents.

1.140.8 The young long-haired maidens sang together and stood upright, dying and born again for life;He goes roaring, freeing them from age and bringing forth a life beyond, untouched by death.

1.140.9 Licking the garment around his mother, he advances with fierce champions, spreading wide;Giving wings to what has feet, ever licking, he follows the falcon's track.

1.140.10 Shine among our generous people, Agni; breathe as the bull who guards the house;Light up the mothers with their young, encompassing them like armor in battle.

1.140.11 Agni, may this good thought please you better than an ill-considered one, better even than a cherished thought;With your pure brightness shining from your body, win us treasure.

1.140.12 Give us a boat for the chariot and for our house, Agni, with lasting oars and feet;Let it bear our warriors and generous people across, bringing them to shelter.

1.140.13 May heaven and earth, and the rivers, praise our hymn to Agni with one voice;Seeking cattle, barley, and long-lasting food, may the ruddy ones choose the best.

Hymn 1.141 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Jagati, verses 12–13 Trishtubh.

1.141.1 Yes, that visible splendor of the god was set forth in its beauty, born of strength;When thought turned toward him and strove, the flowing milk-cows of Truth led him forth.

1.141.2 His first form, nourishing and full of food, rests forever; his second dwells in seven gracious mothers;For the third, the bull's milking, the women bring forth the ten-guided one.

1.141.3 When lords by their strength raised him from the depths of the mighty bull's body,Matarishvan rubbed forth the hidden one at the ancient stirring of honey.

1.141.4 When he is brought round from the supreme father, he grows through fruitful plants and vines;Both births stir him, and then, pure and shining, he became the brightest.

1.141.5 Then pure, unharmed, he entered the mothers and grew wide within them;Climbing the ancient, ever-moving ones, he rushes down among the newer and lower.

1.141.6 Then they choose him priest for heavenly journeys, adorning him as they would Bhaga;When the much-praised one by his power goes among gods and mortals alike, bearing praise and food.

1.141.7 When the wind-driven worshipful one stood apart, crooked as a snake, unformed by age,His flight, with keen black feet and a pure birth, spread over the air and paths.

1.141.8 Like a chariot shaped by craftsmen, he moves heavenward with shining ruddy limbs;At his flashing, his blackened branches flee in fear as from a hero.

1.141.9 Through you, Agni, Varuna keeps his ordinance, and Mitra and generous Aryaman rejoice;As the all-pervading one you were born to encircle everything with purpose, like a wheel's rim.

1.141.10 Agni, youngest one, you further the godly treasure of the soma-presser who worships;Now we fashion you anew, son of strength, like Bhaga at his work, rich in jewels.

1.141.11 For us you join wealth, favorable and at home, with Bhaga's sustaining skill;Wise in Truth, you master both births as one reins in rays, and bring the gods' praise.

1.141.12 May our bright, swift-horsed, joyful priest with his gleaming chariot hear us;May Agni, unerring guide, lead us to lovely, better fortune.

1.141.13 Agni has been praised with fervent songs, establishing his dominion afar;May these generous men and we burst through the rain like Surya.

1.142.3 Pure, cleansing, marvelous Narashamsa moistens the sacrifice with honey;Three times each day the god is honored among gods, worthy of worship.

1.142.4 Praised Agni, bring dear, splendid Indra here;My thought, fair-tongued one, speaks to you in welcome.

1.142.5 As we spread the ritual grass for the pure sacrifice, ladles held forward,I open the widest divine refuge for Indra's shelter.

1.142.6 Let the great divine doors swing wide for the gods' approach, increasing Truth,Pure and much desired, never failing.

1.142.7 Draw near in splendor, beautifully adorned, Night and Dawn;Mighty mothers of Truth, sit joyfully upon the ritual grass.

1.142.8 Divine priests, poets with sweet tongues and song-filled voices,Offer this swift, heaven-reaching sacrifice of ours today.

1.142.9 Bharati, pure among the gods, honored as priestess with the Maruts;Ila, Sarasvati, and Mahi, worthy of sacrifice, sit upon the grass.

1.142.10 May Tvashtar himself spread forth this marvelous, manifold giftFor our growth and wealth, its center bound to us.

1.142.11 Letting loose your own power, Lord of the Forest, worship the gods;Wise divine Agni brings the oblations among the gods to readiness.

1.142.12 For Pushan, for the Maruts, for Vayu with all the gods,Make the oblation with “svaha” for Indra of the trembling song.

1.142.13 Come to our offerings, blessed with “svaha,” to enjoy the feast;Come, Indra, hear the call: they summon you to the sacrifice.

Hymn 1.143 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Jagati, verse 8 Trishtubh.

1.143.1 I bring Agni a powerful new thought, a word and song for the son of strength,Child of Waters, beloved of the Vasus, the priest who sat upon earth at the appointed hour.

1.143.2 At his birth in highest heaven, Agni appeared to Matarishvan;By his design and kindled strength, his flame lit heaven and earth.

1.143.3 His keen immortal rays are beautiful to see, bright on his lovely face;Agni's tireless flames shimmer like rivers across the dark, forever awake.

1.143.4 The Bhrigus stirred up the all-knowing one by their strength at the world's earthly navel;Urge that Agni on with songs at home, the one who reigns alone over wealth like Varuna.

1.143.5 His roar is like the Maruts, like a host sent forth, like lightning from heaven;Agni devours and chews with sharp jaws and clears the forests like a warrior conquering foes.

1.143.6 Will Agni grant wealth and heroes to the son of Ucatha? Will he fulfill our desire with the Vasus?Will he drive our thoughts forward to victory? I praise his pure face with this thought.

1.143.7 At kindling they adorn butter-faced Agni, who bears Truth's burden, as they do a friend;Kindled in the gatherings, glowing bright, he lifts up our shining thought.

1.143.8 Never neglecting us, Agni, shield us with your never-failing, gracious guardians;With unfailing, untiring, wakeful protectors defend our offspring on every side.

Hymn 1.144 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Jagati.

1.144.1 The priest approaches his ordinance by his wonders, lifting upright a pure and beautiful thought;He circles the ladles sunwise, which touch his first dwelling.

1.144.2 Truth's milk-givers sang to him, surrounding him in the god's birthplace;He dwelt in the waters' lap and took in the nourishment by which he moves.

1.144.3 Two of equal age, wishing to join, share the same form and seek one purpose together;Then like Bhaga called to the feast, the charioteer brings reins together for the bearer.

1.144.4 Two companions of one age attend him, twins sharing one home and birthplace;By day and by night the gray one was born young, ageless through many human generations.

1.144.5 Ten fingers impel him with their thoughts; we mortals call the god for help;He flows from the bow down the slope, putting on new forms as he advances.

1.144.6 You rule the heavens, Agni, and earth too, like a guardian of cattle;These two immense, shining ones of yours, golden and eloquent, take their places on the ritual grass.

1.144.7 Welcome that word, Agni, take delight in it, joyous, self-sustaining one, born of Truth, wise one;You are beautiful facing us from every side, lovely to see, like a nourishing home.

Hymn 1.145 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Jagati, verse 5 Trishtubh.

1.145.1 Ask him: he has arrived and he knows; knowing, he moves forward, and she follows;In him are commands and longings: he is lord of the prize, of strength and power.

1.145.2 They ask him, but not all question him, when the wise man has grasped him with his own mind;He refuses neither the first nor the later word: unfailing, he follows the purpose of his plan.

1.145.3 The ladles go to him, and the mares; may he alone hear all my words;With many charges, swift, accomplishing sacrifice, the tireless child takes hold with force.

1.145.4 He moves in the lap when united with his fellows; newborn, he runs swiftly with his companions;For joy he touches the panting one when the eager women come to him established on high.

1.145.5 This forest-roaming beast was set down close beneath the skin of the nearer mother;Knowing Truth, true Agni has revealed his ways to mortals.

Hymn 1.146 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.146.1 I praise three-headed, seven-rayed, perfect Agni in his parents' lap,Seated in the fixed and moving world, filling all heaven's shining expanses.

1.146.2 The great bull has grown among them; deathless and lofty, he stands with help from here;On the wide summit he sets his feet; his ruddy ones lick his udder.

1.146.3 Two gentle cows wander separately around the same calf,Measuring a path that none can shut and carrying every beacon of the great one.

1.146.4 Thoughtful poets lead to his place, guarding the ageless one with different hearts;Seeking to win, they gazed across the river; Surya was revealed to the men.

1.146.5 Beautiful to see, victorious on every boundary, he deserves praise to give the great and small their life;The generous one appears everywhere to these children, visible to all like Surya.

Hymn 1.147 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.147.1 How, Agni, have the sons of Ayu, growing pure, brought you gifts as they sought prizes,When the gods placed you among children and their children and rejoiced in Truth's harmony?

1.147.2 Take notice of this my word, youngest one, generous, self-possessed one, offered with all my heart;One reviles you and one praises you: as your devoted worshiper I worship your form, Agni.

1.147.3 Your watchmen who protected Mamateya, blind though they saw him, from evil, Agni,Those doers of good Jatavedas protected; hostile enemies could not deceive them.

1.147.4 Whoever plots us harm, Agni, ungenerous and evil, tormenting us with double speech,May this weighty spell turn on him; may his harsh words strike his own body.

1.147.5 Or if some mortal, knowingly, son of strength, torments another mortal with double speech,Protect your praising singer from him, Agni; do not let anyone abandon us to evil.

Hymn 1.148 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.148.1 When summoned Matarishvan rubbed out the priest, who rules all waters and belongs to all gods,And placed him among human tribes, bright like Surya and splendid in his form.

1.148.2 Let those who give not despise my prayer; I choose Agni's shelter;Let all his deeds find favor with the singer bringing him praise.

1.148.3 Even in his lasting dwelling they grasped him; the sacrificers established him with hymns;They lead him forward to the rite, holding him as horses eager for a chariot.

1.148.4 With his jaws the wondrous one shatters many things, blazing through the wood;Then wind follows his flame day by day like an arrow shot by an archer.

1.148.5 While he lies in the womb, no enemy or assailant can harm him;The blind, unable to see, could not deceive him; his enduring protectors kept him safe.

Hymn 1.149 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Viraj.

1.149.1 The great lord seeks riches, master of food and wealth, approaching their place;As he surges onward the stones split before him.

1.149.2 The bull, as lord of men, stands between the worlds with fame, releasing a living stream;Pouring forth he rests in his birthplace.

1.149.3 He lights a fortress like a storming army, swift and wise as a racing steed;A hundredfold in power, he shines like Surya.

1.149.4 Twice-born he has risen glowing across all three realms of light and all the skies,The priest most worthy of worship in the waters' gathering place.

1.149.5 This is that twice-born priest who grants all cherished, glorious giftsTo the mortal who willingly gives to him.

1.151.1 Seekers of cattle, wise in council, brought forth Mitra among the cows and waters through their work;Heaven and earth shook at his powerful song, receiving the beloved god at birth.

1.151.2 When the companions of Purumilha the soma-presser laid that offering before you, Mitra and Varuna,You found purpose and praised the path: hear the householder, mighty ones.

1.151.3 The peoples adorn your birth between heaven and earth, a mighty wonder to be proclaimed;When you bring offerings for Truth and the steed, you move through the rite with sacrifice and work.

1.151.4 Great is your dear divine domain: guardians of Truth, you proclaim lofty Truth;You yoke the great heaven's living power to your work as a cow to its yoke.

1.151.5 With greatness here you open a vast refuge; the dustless, rushing cows return to their dwelling;They low at Surya's setting, at the fading light, as the dawns call the running hero.

1.151.6 For Truth the long-haired ones sing to you, Mitra and Varuna, where you praise the path;Release the streams by your power and swell our thoughts; you two are anointed with the poet's song.

1.151.7 To the man who serves you with sacrifices, the wise priest who honors you with a hymn,You come and take part in his rite; come to our songs with kindly thoughts.

1.151.8 With sacrifice they first anoint you with milk, guardians of Truth, swift as thoughts in the mind;Disciplined hymns carry you their prayer; with unswerving minds you win riches.

1.151.9 You establish rich life and win great treasure, heroes, by your wonders and mighty help;Neither heaven by its days, nor rivers, nor Panis by their wealth, can attain your divinity.

Hymn 1.152 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: Mitra and Varuna. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.152.1 You clothe yourselves in ample garments; your designs stream forth without a break;You have crossed beyond every falsehood; with Truth you join yourselves, Mitra and Varuna.

1.152.2 Who among them understands even this? The true prayer is spoken by a wise, righteous man;The strong four-cornered one strikes the three-cornered, and the slanderers of the gods are first to perish.

1.152.3 Footless, she goes first among the footed: who understands this of yours, Mitra and Varuna?Though pregnant she bears her burden; she nourishes Truth and sinks falsehood.

1.152.4 We see the lover going around the maidens, never stopping among them,Clothed in an unbroken spread, the beloved dwelling of Mitra and Varuna.

1.152.5 Born horseless and without reins, the steed cries out and flies high above the ridge;The young ones, praising Mitra's and Varuna's dwelling, welcome the unthinking prayer.

1.152.6 Let the protecting cows fill Mamateya, lover of prayers, at their udder;Knowing the ways, may he beg for food and guard Aditi as one who seeks her favor.

1.152.7 With reverence I seek your aid and acceptance of the offering, Mitra and Varuna;May our prayer triumph in battles and our heavenly rain be easy to cross.

1.153.1 With accord we worship your greatness, Mitra and Varuna, with offerings and reverence;With butter and streams of butter the priests bear you what our thoughts have made.

1.153.2 I bring you praise, Mitra and Varuna, as your abiding place and the means of your approach;When the priest anoints you in councils, the patron seeks your favor, mighty ones.

1.153.3 Aditi the cow has swelled for Truth and for the offering people, Mitra and Varuna;When a man honoring you at council urges his gift forward, like a human priest.

1.153.4 The intoxicating juice among the clans, and cows and divine waters, swell for you;Let the ancient lord give us a share: drink the milk of the shining cow.

Hymn 1.154 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: Vishnu. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.154.1 Now I will proclaim Vishnu's mighty deeds: he measured out the earthly realmsAnd propped up the upper dwelling, he of the wide stride taking his three great steps.

1.154.2 For this Vishnu is praised for his might, terrible as a beast roaming the mountains;Within his three far-reaching strides every living world has its dwelling.

1.154.3 Let my strong song go forth to Vishnu, mountain-dwelling bull of the wide stride,Who alone measured out this vast and stretching dwelling with just three steps.

1.154.4 His three footsteps, filled with honey, delight by their own power, never fading;He alone upholds earth, heaven, and all living worlds in their threefold order.

1.154.5 May I reach his beloved path where god-loving men rejoice;For there, in the highest step of wide-striding Vishnu, is the spring of honey.

1.154.6 We long to reach your dwellings where many-horned cattle wander;There the highest step of the wide-striding bull shines forth abundantly.

Hymn 1.155 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: Vishnu (verses 1–3: Indra and Vishnu). Meter: Jagati.

1.155.1 Pour the drink and raise your inspired praise to great heroic Vishnu;The two, invincible at the mountain peaks, stood firm like noble steeds.

1.155.2 Indra and Vishnu, soma-drinkers, your fierce union protects the deeds of men;For mortals you guard the flame from the archer's falling arrow.

1.155.3 The two strengthen the greatness of his manhood; the mother guides the seed to its enjoyment;The son holds both his father's lower and higher names, and a third in heaven's light.

1.155.4 We praise each deed of this lord, guardian, gentle and generous,Who with three mighty strides traversed earthly realms to give life to the wide world.

1.155.5 The mortal who sees the sun marvels at two of his steps;His third no one has ever reached, not even winged birds in flight.

1.155.6 With four times ninety names he set the turning wheel rolling as a circle;Vast in body and measured out in songs, forever young he comes to the call.

Hymn 1.156 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: Vishnu. Meter: Jagati.

1.156.1 Be kind as Mitra, rich in libations, resplendent, advancing and broad;Then even the wise one's hymn and the offerer's sacrifice, Vishnu, shall be worthy of you.

1.156.2 Whoever gives to Vishnu, ancient maker ever new, born in light,Who speaks of the greatness of this mighty one's birth, wins fitting fame and fellowship.

1.156.3 Singers, sustain him, ancient embryo of Truth, as you know how;Knowing his name, proclaim it: great Vishnu, we share your favor.

1.156.4 King Varuna and the Ashvins attend the purpose of this maker of the Maruts;Vishnu has maintained supreme wisdom, knowing the day, and as a friend opens the cattle's pen.

1.156.5 Vishnu, whose deeds are fairest, has joined divine companionship with good-working Indra;The maker stirred the Arya in the triple seat and gave the sacrificer a share of Truth.

Hymn 1.157 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Jagati, verses 5–6 Trishtubh.

1.157.1 Agni has awakened on earth, Surya rises, and great glowing Dawn shines with her light;The Ashvins yoked their chariot for travel; Savitar set each living thing in motion.

1.157.2 When you yoke your mighty chariot, Ashvins, moisten our realm with butter and honey;Speed our prayer through battles, so that we may gain wealth in the heroes' contest.

1.157.3 Come near, praised Ashvins, in your three-wheeled, honey-bearing chariot with swift horses;Three-seated, generous, bringing every blessing, let it bear peace to two-footed and four-footed creatures.

1.157.4 Bring nourishment to us, Ashvins, and sprinkle us with your honeyed whip;Prolong our life, wipe off disease, drive away hatred, be our allies.

1.157.5 You have set the embryo within all creatures, within every living world;You two, Ashvins, stir Agni and the waters and the forest trees to life.

1.157.6 You are healers with remedies and charioteers with chariots;You mighty ones grant dominion to the man who offers with devoted mind.

Hymn 1.158 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Trishtubh, verse 6 Anushtubh.

1.158.1 Vasus and Rudras, abundant in thought and growth, grant us your favor in our need, mighty ones;Wondrous ones, when you stretched out with unerring help for the son of Ucatha, what riches you bestowed!

1.158.2 Who will give to you to win your favor, Vasus, when you stand with reverence in the cow's footsteps?Awaken rich thoughts in us, moving with a mind filled with desire.

1.158.3 When your vessel was yoked for Tugra's son and Pajra was set amid the sea,May I reach your protection and refuge, as the hero flies through the race on swift wings.

1.158.4 May praise protect the son of Ucatha; let not these two flying creatures drain me;Let not this fire lit with ten logs burn me while, bound fast, it devours the earth before you.

1.158.5 May the most motherly rivers not drown me, when the slaves threw me bound tightly into them;When Traitana hacked at his head, the slave wounded his own chest and shoulders.

1.158.6 Dirghatamas, son of Mamata, grown old in his tenth generation,Became a priest and charioteer for the onward-moving waters.

Hymn 1.159 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deities: Heaven and Earth. Meter: Jagati.

1.159.1 At councils I praise mighty Heaven and Earth with sacrifices, nourishers of Truth, full of wisdom;Divine parents of gods, wondrous workers, they fashion precious gifts with thought.

1.159.2 With offerings I ponder our guileless father's mind and our mother's great native strength;Rich in seed, these parents made us a vast, deathless expanse for their offspring.

1.159.3 Their skillful, marvelous children were born to great mother Earth in the first act of thought;By their true law for what stands and moves they guarded the place of the innocent son.

1.159.4 The wise pair, masters of wonders, measured out as twins one birthplace and one dwelling;The insightful poets stretch ever newer threads within the heavenly sea.

1.159.5 Today we seek that choice gift of Savitar, sent forth by the god;Heaven and Earth, in your wisdom grant us wealthy riches, a hundred cows.

Hymn 1.160 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deities: Heaven and Earth. Meter: Jagati.

1.160.1 Heaven and Earth bring good to all; they keep Truth and sustain the skies with wisdom;Between these two well-born, thoughtful ones, pure Surya moves, god amid goddesses, by his law.

1.160.2 Wide-spreading, great, unwearying father and mother protect the living worlds;Strong and beautiful are both realms, whom the father clothed in his forms.

1.160.3 The son of the two parents, bright with purifying power, cleanses worlds with his wisdom;Every day they milk the shining milk of this dappled cow and fertile bull.

1.160.4 This one is the most active of the active gods, who gave birth to heaven and earth, blessings to all;With wise purpose he measured both realms and matched them with ageless pillars.

1.160.5 Heaven and Earth, grant us your singers great fame and high dominion;With it may we spread among the peoples; bring into us your praiseworthy force.

Hymn 1.161 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: the Ribhus. Meter: Jagati, verse 14 Trishtubh.

1.161.1 “Who came to us, the eldest or the youngest? What is the message, and when did we speak it?We do not slight the cup of that great house, brother Agni; we spoke only of the wooden vessel's form.”

1.161.2 “Make four cups out of one”: this is what the gods said and what has reached you.“Sons of Sudhanvan, if you accomplish it, you shall share sacrifice with the gods.”

1.161.3 You answered Agni the messenger: “A horse must be made, and here a chariot too;A cow must be made and two must be made young again, brother: we shall do those things for you.”

1.161.4 Having done it, the Ribhus asked: “Where is the messenger who came to us?”When he reported that the cups had been made four, Tvashtar hid himself among the women.

1.161.5 “Let us kill them,” said Tvashtar, “for they have disparaged the gods' drinking cup.”They took other names at the soma pressing, and by new names a maiden greeted them.

1.161.6 Indra yoked his bay horses, the Ashvins their chariot, Brihaspati brought the cow of many forms;Ribhu, Vibhu, and Vaja came to the gods: skillful workers, claim your sacrificial portion.

1.161.7 You freed the cow from her hide with your thoughts and made the two aged parents young;Sons of Sudhanvan, you fashioned a horse from a horse and came to the gods with your chariot yoked.

1.161.8 “This water, drink it,” they said; “or drink this purification made from munja grass.”Sons of Sudhanvan, if neither pleases you, rejoice at the third soma-pressing.

1.161.9 “Water is greatest,” one declared; “Agni is greatest,” another;The third spoke of the axe for many: speaking truths, they ornamented the cups.

1.161.10 One fetches a lame cow and water; one shapes the meat brought on the spit;One carries off dung at sunset: how did the parents aid their sons?

1.161.11 On high ground you made grass for him; in low places, water, heroes, by your skill;When you were in Agohya's house, Ribhus, you could not go from there today.

1.161.12 When you closed your eyes and roamed the worlds, where were your parents then?Whoever grasped your arm cursed; tell that to the man who spoke out.

1.161.13 Awaking from sleep, the Ribhus asked: “Agohya, who woke us?”“The goat called the dog your waker; today the year has fully appeared.”

1.161.14 The Maruts journey through heaven by day, Agni travels the earth, wind the midair;Varuna moves with the waters through the seas, seeking you, children of strength.

Hymn 1.162 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: the Horse. Meter: Trishtubh, verses 3 and 6 Jagati.

1.162.1 Let not Mitra, Varuna, Aryaman, Ayu, Indra, the Ribhus, or the Maruts find faultAs in assembly we proclaim the mighty deeds of the god-born steed, the prize-winning horse.

1.162.2 When they lead the gift forward, draped in adornment and treasure,The dappled goat, led rightly, bleating, goes to the feast beloved of Indra and Pushan.

1.162.3 This goat, Pushan's share, is led in front of the prize-winning horse, sacred to all the gods;As it goes before the beloved cake and horse, Tvashtar urges it toward noble fame.

1.162.4 When people lead the sacrificial horse around three times at the proper season on the gods' path,Here Pushan's share goes first, the goat announcing the sacrifice to the gods.

1.162.5 Priest, officiant, fire-kindler, holder of the pressing stone, and eloquent chanter:By this well-made, fitting sacrifice fill the streams to overflowing.

1.162.6 Those who fell the posts, who carry them, who shape the cap for the horse's post,And those who bring together what cooks the horse: let their praise strengthen us too.

1.162.7 He came willingly; my hymn was laid in the gods' presence, his back covered;The wise seers rejoice after him; we have made him a true ally at the gods' feast.

1.162.8 The prize horse's tether, the steed's binding cords, its head-halter and rope,And the grass brought to its mouth: may all these too be among your offerings to the gods.

1.162.9 Whatever of the horse's raw flesh a fly has eaten, or whatever clings to post and knife,Whatever sticks to the slaughterer's hands and nails: may all these too be among your offerings to the gods.

1.162.10 What escapes from the belly when cut, the smell of uncooked flesh,Let the skilled slaughterers prepare it and cook the offering until it is well done.

1.162.11 Whatever runs from your limbs as you cook upon the spit,Let none fall on earth or grass: let it be given to the gods who desire it.

1.162.12 Those who watch the cooked horse and those who say, “It smells good; bring it out,”And those waiting to ask for horse meat: let their praise strengthen us too.

1.162.13 The fork of the meat-cooking pot, the vessels to receive its broth,The steam-lids of cooking pots, the hooks and knives that adorn the horse:

1.162.14 The horse's steps, its place of rest, its turning, its fetter,What it drank and the grass it ate: may all these too be among your offerings to the gods.

1.162.15 Let not the smoky fire vex you, nor the glowing pot burst and spill on you;The gods receive the horse, offered and enjoyed, praised and consecrated with the cry “vashat.”

1.162.16 The cloth spread beneath the horse, its covering and golden ornaments,The steed's fetter and foot-shackle, beloved of the gods, accompany it to them.

1.162.17 Whatever pain the saddle pressed on you or the heel or the whip inflicted,With prayer I make it good for you, as oblation is made ready with the ladle at sacrifice.

1.162.18 The knife cuts through the thirty-four ribs of the horse, the gods' companion;Keep its limbs unbroken and carve joint from joint in the proper way.

1.162.19 There is one carver of Tvashtar's horse and two handlers, as the rite ordains;What I prepare of your limbs in season, of these pieces I make an offering in fire.

1.162.20 Let not the fire torment your beloved departing soul, nor the knife lodge in your body;Let no greedy, unskilled carver mutilate your limbs with a blade.

1.162.21 You do not die; no harm befalls you: you go to the gods along the easy paths;Indra's bay pair and the dappled mares are your yokemates; the horse stands at the donkey's yoke.

1.162.22 Let the horse win us good cattle and horses, sons and wealth that nourishes all;Let Aditi make us innocent, and the offered horse win us dominion.

Hymn 1.163 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deity: the Horse. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.163.1 When you first cried out at birth, rising from the sea or from the waters,With a falcon's wings and deer's forelegs, horse, yours was a great birth worthy of praise.

1.163.2 Yama gave him, Trita harnessed him, Indra was first to mount him;The Gandharva held his reins; the Vasus fashioned the horse out of Surya.

1.163.3 You are Yama, horse, you are Aditya, and by secret ordinance you are Trita;You are joined to Soma: they say you have three bonds in heaven.

1.163.4 Three bonds, they say, are yours in heaven, three in the waters, three within the sea;Varuna himself tells me, horse, where they say your highest birthplace lies.

1.163.5 These are your cleansing places, champion, these the sites where your hoofs were won;Here I saw your gracious bridles, guarded by keepers of Truth.

1.163.6 From afar I recognize your spirit with my mind, the flying bird gliding beneath heaven;I saw your head flying along easy, dustless paths, winged one.

1.163.7 Here I saw your finest form, eager to win food at the cow's footprint;When a mortal has enjoyed his share with you, you most eagerly devour the plants.

1.163.8 The chariot follows you, horse, and the man, the cows, and the maidens' good fortune;Troops follow your fellowship, and the gods have measured out your might.

1.163.9 His horns are gold, his feet are iron, his speed is thought; Indra was first to mount him;The gods came to eat his oblation, this first rider of the horse.

1.163.10 Broad-rumped, narrow-waisted, strong-limbed, the heavenly racersGo in files like swans when the horses have reached the racecourse of heaven.

1.163.11 Your body flies, horse, and your spirit darts like the wind;Your horns move out in many places, grazing in the wilderness.

1.163.12 The prize horse has come to slaughter, his mind turned devoutly toward the gods;The goat is led before him as his navel; behind him the inspired singers follow.

1.163.13 He has come to the highest gathering, the horse to his father and mother;Today let him go most welcome among the gods and then bring blessings to his giver.

Hymn 1.164 — Seer: Dirghatamas Aucathya. Deities: the All-Gods (verses 1–41), Speech and Waters (verse 42), Shakadhuuma and Soma (verse 43), long-haired Agni, Surya, and Vayu (verse 44), Speech (verse 45), Surya (verses 46–47), the year's wheel of time (verse 48), Sarasvati (verse 49), the Sadhyas (verse 50), Surya or Parjanya and Agni (verse 51), Sarasvan or Surya (verse 52). Meter: Trishtubh, verses 12, 15, 23, 29, 36, 41 Jagati, verse 42 Prastarapankti, verse 51 Anushtubh.

1.164.1 This fair gray-haired priest has a middle brother who feeds on food;His third brother's back is buttered: here I saw the clan-lord with seven sons.

1.164.2 Seven yoke the chariot of a single wheel; one horse of seven names draws it;The three-naved wheel is ageless, never loose; on it all these worlds are set.

1.164.3 The seven who stand on this chariot are borne by seven horses with seven wheels;Seven sisters sing together around it, where the seven names of cows are stored.

1.164.4 Who saw the firstborn, when the boneless bore the one with bones?Where is earth's blood, breath, and soul? Who will approach a sage to ask?

1.164.5 Unknowing, I ask with my mind where the gods have hidden their tracks;Over the year-old calf the poets stretched seven threads for weaving.

1.164.6 Not knowing, I ask the poets who know, that I may learn:Who set apart these six expanses, and what is the one in the form of the unborn?

1.164.7 Let whoever knows proclaim here the hidden footprint of this fair bird;The cows milk from its head; clothed in a covering, they drew water with their feet.

1.164.8 The mother shared with the father in Truth; they came together first in thought and mind;Impregnated, she took the seed in fear, and those who bowed came near with words.

1.164.9 The mother was yoked to the right-hand pole; the child stood inside the enclosures;The calf bellowed, looking after the cow of manifold forms in the threefold journey.

1.164.10 One bearing three mothers and three fathers stood upright, yet they never exhaust him;On the far side of heaven they speak together the all-knowing word, which not all understand.

1.164.11 The twelve-spoked wheel of Truth turns around heaven, never growing old;Upon it, Agni, stand seven hundred and twenty children, born in pairs.

1.164.12 They say the five-footed, twelve-formed father, rich in water, dwells in the further half of heaven;Others say the far-seeing one is set in a lower wheel of seven wheels and six spokes.

1.164.13 Within the turning five-spoked wheel stand all living worlds;Its axle never heats beneath the heavy load; its nave has never broken from its beginning.

1.164.14 The ageless wheel with its unbroken rim turns wide, drawn by ten yoked to the upward-facing one;Surya's eye moves covered by the air; in it all living worlds are set.

1.164.15 They call seven born together, but the seventh born alone; six indeed are god-born seers;Their appointed places are set according to form, and steadfast they tremble in their different shapes.

1.164.16 Though female, these are called male; a sighted man sees, but the blind cannot discern;The son who is a poet knows them, and whoever knows them is father of his father.

1.164.17 Below the higher, above the lower, bearing her calf on her foot, the cow has risen;Where has she gone, in which direction? Where does she give birth, not among the herd?

1.164.18 Whoever traces its father below the higher and above the lower,Who here with a poet's vision can proclaim where the divine mind was born?

1.164.19 What come toward us, they call departing; what depart, they call approaching;What you and Indra have made, Soma, carry the skies like a pair yoked to a pole.

1.164.20 Two beautiful-winged birds, companions and friends, embrace the same tree;One eats its sweet fig, the other watches without eating.

1.164.21 Where fair-winged birds sing unblinking of their share of immortality at the gathering,The lord and guardian of every world entered into me, a simple man, to give me insight.

1.164.22 The tree in which the fair-winged honey-eaters all settle and bring forth offspring:They say its fig is sweet at the summit; one who does not know the father cannot reach it.

1.164.23 The Gayatri is set upon the Gayatri; from the Trishtubh they shaped the Trishtubh;In the Jagati the Jagati's measure is set: whoever knows this has won immortality.

1.164.24 With Gayatri they measure the hymn, with hymn the chant, with Trishtubh speech;With speech they measure two-foot and four-foot speech, with syllable the seven voices.

1.164.25 With Jagati he propped the heavenly sea; in the Rathantara chant he saw Surya;They speak of Gayatri's three kindlings; through them his greatness overflowed with might.

1.164.26 I call near this good-milking cow: let a skilled cowherd milk her;Let Savitar send us his finest gift, the cauldron warmed: this I proclaim.

1.164.27 Lowing, queen of treasures, she came in thought, looking for her calf;Let us milk this unharmed cow for the Ashvins; may she grow to great good fortune.

1.164.28 The cow lowed after her blinking calf and cried “hin” above his head;Calling to the heated pot at her mouth, she bellows and pours forth milk.

1.164.29 This calf cries, and the cow enfolding him answers with a low as she stands over the rushing flow;With her insights she has shaped the mortal and, becoming lightning, cast aside her covering.

1.164.30 The living, swift-moving one rests without breath, firmly placed at the center of dwellings;The living moves by its own power within the dead, the deathless sharing a womb with the mortal.

1.164.31 I saw the herdsman who never rests, traveling on paths to and fro;Clothed in what converges and diverges, he moves among the worlds.

1.164.32 The one who made it does not know it, and from the one who saw it it is hidden;Wrapped in its mother's womb, it entered destruction, bearing many children.

1.164.33 Heaven is my father, my begetter; here is my navel, and this great Earth my mother and kin;Between the two upturned bowls lies the womb; here the father placed seed in his daughter.

1.164.34 I ask you where earth's farthest limit is; I ask where the world's navel lies;I ask you for the seed of the stallion; I ask for speech's highest heaven.

1.164.35 This altar is earth's farthest limit; this sacrifice is the world's navel;This soma is the stallion's seed; this prayer is speech's highest heaven.

1.164.36 Seven half-embryos, seed of the world, stand in Vishnu's several directions according to law;Thoughtful sages with their minds encompass and enfold everything on all sides.

1.164.37 I do not discern what I truly am; hidden, bound in mind, I wander;When the firstborn of Truth comes to me, I gain a share of this speech.

1.164.38 Back and forth it goes, held fast by its own law, immortal yet born with the mortal;The lasting pair go different ways; men know one but fail to know the other.

1.164.39 The hymns dwell in the imperishable, highest heaven, where all the gods have taken their seats;What will one who knows it not do with hymns? Those who know it sit here together.

1.164.40 Be blessed with rich pasture, and may we too be blessed;Eat grass at all times, unharmed cow, and drink pure water as you roam.

1.164.41 Gauri measures and carves the waters: one-footed, two-footed, then four-footed,Becoming eight-footed and nine-footed, with a thousand syllables in highest heaven.

1.164.42 From her the oceans stream forth, and by her the four directions live;From her flows the imperishable on which the whole world lives.

1.164.43 I saw the dung-born smoke from afar, beyond the near and far divide;The heroes cooked the dappled bull: these were the first ordinances.

1.164.44 Three long-haired ones appear by season: one of them shears in the year;One sees everything with his powers; the third's swift course is seen, but not his form.

1.164.45 Speech has four measured steps, known by thoughtful priests;Three lie hidden and do not stir; humans speak the fourth step of speech.

1.164.46 They call him Indra, Mitra, Varuna, Agni, and the heavenly, beautiful-winged Garutman;What is one, the poets speak of in many ways: they call it Agni, Yama, Matarishvan.

1.164.47 The bright-winged ones fly through the dark course, clothed in waters, mounting to heaven;Returning from Truth's dwelling, they rain butter down on earth.

1.164.48 The one wheel has twelve rims and three hubs—who truly knows it?Upon it stand together three hundred and sixty pegs, fixed and yet unfixed.

1.164.49 The breast of yours that is inexhaustible and joy-giving, that nourishes every precious thing,That holds jewels and finds wealth, so generous, Sarasvati: offer that breast here to drink.

1.164.50 With sacrifice the gods sacrificed to sacrifice: those were the first ordinances;Those mighty ones reached heaven, where the ancient gods called Sadhyas dwell.

1.164.51 The same water rises upward and descends through the days;Rains revive the earth, fires revive heaven.

1.164.52 I call Sarasvan for help, the great winged one of heaven, child of waters, beautiful among plants,Who satisfies with rain those who seek him.

Hymn 1.165 — Seers: Indra (verses 1–2, 4, 6, 8, 10–12), the Maruts (verses 3, 5, 7, 9), Agastya Maitravaruni (verses 13–15). Deity: Indra with the Maruts. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.165.1 “With what radiance do the Maruts, companions of one age and home, meet in unity?With what thought and from where have these come, bulls roaring forth their force in search of wealth?”

1.165.2 “Whose prayers have these young ones favored? Who brought the Maruts to the sacrifice?They speed like falcons in the midair; by what great thought can we delight them?”

1.165.3 “From where, Indra, do you come alone in your might? What brings you here, true lord?You question us as you meet us adorned: tell us, bay-horsed one, what you need from us.”

1.165.4 “My hymns and thoughts, my well-pressed soma, bring me joy; my offered pressing stone stirs my strength;The songs long for me and meet me; my bay pair bear me to these gatherings.”

1.165.5 “From here we go, harnessed with our nearest friends, adorning our bodies in our own dominion;With our mighty teams we come to you, Indra: you have indeed followed our ordinance.”

1.165.6 “Where was that power of yours, Maruts, when you left me alone to kill the serpent?I alone, fierce in might and powerful, overcame every enemy with weapons.”

1.165.7 “You did many deeds with us as companions, bull, equal partners in strength;We too, mightiest Indra, accomplish many things with our wisdom when we will.”

1.165.8 “I killed Vritra by my own Indra-power, made mighty by my own fury, Maruts;I, mace in hand, made these beautiful waters flow easily for all mankind.”

1.165.9 “No one can surpass you, generous one; no god like you is known;No born being can reach you, nor one yet to be born: grown mighty, do what you intend.”

1.165.10 “Were I to act by thought with even a portion of my boundless force, who could withstand it?For I am fierce, Maruts, and know my power; whatever I set in motion, Indra rules it.”

1.165.11 “Your song gladdened me here, Maruts, when you heroes made a famous prayer for me;For great Indra, mighty lord of sacrifice, friends gave their very bodies in friendship.”

1.165.12 “Now you come shining toward me, possessing blameless fame;Maruts of radiant color, look kindly on me, and now delight me.”

1.165.13 “Who here has exalted you, Maruts? Go to your friends as friends;Breathe life into splendid hymns; be their new knowers of Truth.”

1.165.14 “As the singer makes a gift worthy of honor, his wisdom made us honored;Come, Maruts, toward the poet: the singer has raised these prayers for you.”

1.166.1 Let us proclaim the ancient greatness of the bull's fierce birth as a beacon;Like fuel in your coming, roaring Maruts, like strong warriors display your power.

1.166.2 They bring honey as to a lifelong son and play their games, fierce in the gatherings;The Rudras reach the worshiper with help, and mighty ones never abandon the oblation-giver.

1.166.3 For whoever these deathless gods grant abundant wealth and offers them sacrifice,The Maruts water him as if with life-giving rain, filling vast spaces with joyous milk.

1.166.4 They cover the skies with their power; your steeds rush forward of their own will;Every home and world trembles: marvelous is your advance with leveled spears.

1.166.5 When your fierce advance makes mountains roar and casts heaven's summit into motion,Every forest tree fears your course; plants bow as if to riders passing.

1.166.6 Fierce Maruts, in your wisdom keep our community unharmed and grant us favor;Where your lightning flashes its flashing teeth, it cuts down cattle like a sharp axe.

1.166.7 Best praised in the assemblies, unfallen in bounty, they support what is desired and do no harm;They sing a hymn to drink the rousing juice, knowing the warrior's earliest feats.

1.166.8 With a hundred-handed fortress defend from crooked evil the man you favor, Maruts;Shield his people and growing offspring from reproach, fierce and powerful, magnificent ones.

1.166.9 All fine gifts lie on your chariots, Maruts, your powers contending with one another;Your neckpieces shine on your shoulders, your wheels turn level with your axles.

1.166.10 Many good things adorn your manly arms, glittering plates your breasts, bold ornaments;Blades rest on your shoulders, on your wheel-rims, arrayed like wings on birds.

1.166.11 Great in greatness, vast in splendor, seen far off like stars in heaven,Glad, eloquent singers with their voices, the Maruts mingle with Indra in praise.

1.166.12 Well-born Maruts, your greatness and lasting gift are like Aditi's ordinance;Even Indra cannot diminish the good you accomplish for a man.

1.166.13 Your kinship, Maruts, lived in a former age, when you deathless ones protected many people;With this thought you drew near to Manu, and men knew you by your wonders.

1.166.14 By your abundant gifts, swift Maruts, may we flourish long;When men reach out amid adversity, may these sacrifices win us aid.

1.166.15 This is your hymn, Maruts, the song of the venerable poet Mandarya;May it bring strength to the body; may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

1.167.1 A thousand are your helps for us, Indra, a thousand gifts of food, bay-horsed one, most praised;A thousand riches for joy: let prizes by the thousand come to us.

1.167.2 May the wise Maruts come to us with their ancient, heaven-great help;Even beyond the far shore of the sea their teams roar mightily.

1.167.3 Among them a well-placed, butter-bright spear joins the gold-clad woman;Hidden she moves like a mortal woman, bringing voice to the gathering like speech in council.

1.167.4 The shining ones moved afar, mingling like common waters, Maruts;The terrible ones do not thrust apart heaven and earth: the gods welcome strength for friendship.

1.167.5 When the woman of divine power joins them, Rodasi of flowing hair and manly spirit,She mounts their chariot like the sun, bright-faced, borne through the clouds.

1.167.6 The young men placed their young woman among them, resplendent in assemblies;As your singer, Maruts, offered oblation and pressed soma, he sang his hymn in worship.

1.167.7 I will proclaim what deserves praise: the real greatness of these Maruts;When their proud strength accompanies her, she carries fortunate beings, firm as they are.

1.167.8 Mitra and Varuna protect her from reproach, and Aryaman drives away blame;Even immovable foundations shake; the Maruts have increased her gifts.

1.167.9 No one among us, Maruts, has reached the end of your strength, even from far away;Growing in bold might, you rise above hatred like waves over the sea.

1.167.10 Today we are Indra's dearest; tomorrow may we speak to you in the contest;We were great in former days and every day since: let the Ribhus' lord stay with our men.

1.167.11 This is your hymn, Maruts, the song of the venerable poet Mandarya;May it bring strength to the body; may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

1.168.1 From sacrifice to sacrifice, from thought to thought, we bring our shared, godward song to you;Come near from between heaven and earth for our well-being; with praises I seek your mighty help.

1.168.2 Self-born and mighty, swift as streams, they rise seeking food and the sun;Like a thousand waves of water they come, our praiseworthy bulls, like cows lowing.

1.168.3 Like pressed soma with swollen shoots, drunk in the heart, they settle into worship;Across their shoulders a glittering adornment clings; in their hands are bracelets and blades.

1.168.4 Free and self-yoked they descended from heaven, deathless ones driving themselves with the whip;Dustless and mighty-born, gleaming-spear Maruts, they shake even things fixed firm.

1.168.5 Which of you, Maruts, bright with lightning spears, quivers within like a tongue inside the jaws?Swift in your journey, moving across the wastes, tireless chargers with many missions.

1.168.6 Where beyond this vast sky, where beneath it, Maruts, is the place you reach?When you shake together things asunder, you fly over the raging sea with your stone.

1.168.7 Your victory is mighty, sunlight-bright and dazzling, ripening in power, Maruts;Your gift is kindly as bounty from a generous hand, broad and full of divine force.

1.168.8 Rivers answer the roar of your wheels when you lift your cloud-born voices;Lightnings flash down on earth when you pour the butter out, Maruts.

1.168.9 Prishni gave birth for the great battle to the blazing army of the Maruts;These swift-footed ones brought forth a mighty wonder and found their own driving power.

1.168.10 This is your hymn, Maruts, the song of the venerable poet Mandarya;May it bring strength to the body; may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

1.169.2 The Maruts, unconquered among all peoples, understand how to ward off harm to mortals;Laughing in battle, they win the sunlit prize in combat.

1.169.3 Let your spear strike true for us, Indra; the Maruts drive the eternal marvel on;Even Agni blazes for the thirsty, while the waters bear offerings like islands.

1.169.4 Now, Indra, grant us wealth in your mightiest bounty, like a gracious gift;Praised, receive what they desire for you: like a breast filled with honey, swell our prizes.

1.169.5 In you, Indra, are the riches dearest to any guide who keeps Truth;May the Maruts show us kindness, these gods who went forth before as if seeking a path.

1.169.6 Go forth to meet them, Indra, the generous men; attend the great earthly dwelling;There their broad-based powers have stood on the crossing like the heroic Aryas.

1.169.7 I hear the rumble of these terrible Maruts as they approach;They fly upon the mortal fighting man with aid, like a torrent set free.

1.169.8 With the Maruts, Indra, carve for our sons wealth for all peoples and cow-rich strength;You are praised by gods with these gods; may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

1.170.2 “Why do you seek to kill us, Indra? The Maruts are your brothers;Join them in harmony; do not strike us down in battle.”

1.170.3 “Why, brother Agastya, do you scorn us, when you are our friend?We know your mind: you are not willing to give to us.”

1.170.4 “Let them prepare the altar and kindle the fire before us;There let us stretch out your sacrifice, a sign of immortality.”

1.171.3 Praised Maruts, show us mercy, and generous Indra, praised, bring us perfect joy;May our homesteads rise high, and may we win every day, Maruts.

1.171.4 Trembling in fear of Indra and seeking his strength, I sent you sharp offerings, Maruts;We have set them far away; show us mercy.

1.171.5 With his might men behold the shining cows in the dawns forever returning;Bull, grant us fame with the Maruts, mighty with the mighty, strong among the strong.

Hymn 1.173 — Seer: Agastya Maitravaruni. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh, verse 4 Viraj.

1.173.1 Sing a sky-reaching chant like a bird's; let us honor with sunlight the one who grows by it;Unharmed milk-cows upon ritual grass seek their heavenly dwelling.

1.173.2 The bull sang among bulls, answering oblations, fierce like a beast that roams beyond;The joyous worshiper brings the pair together with praise, the man fit for sacrifice.

1.173.3 The priest reaches his appointed dwelling and bears earth's child through her autumns;The horse cries, the led cow lows; the messenger passes between heaven and earth like speech.

1.173.4 Those seeking the gods bring him their spotted steeds and sudden strength;Let brilliant, wondrous Indra take delight, chariot-rider as skillful as the Ashvins.

1.173.5 Praise that Indra who is strong, the hero, the generous chariot-fighter,Who can meet the warrior face to face and pierce even enveloping darkness.

1.173.6 Through his greatness he stands ready for men, and heaven and earth are room enough for him;Indra covers the fields like broad earth and bears the sky like an ornament.

1.173.7 In battle we seek your help, hero, to make safe a path through the besiegers;In joy the lands welcome Indra, and even the benefactor exults in prizes.

1.173.8 So, Indra, the libations and sea and divine waters gladden you;Every cow belongs gladly to you when you favor patrons and men with your insight.

1.173.9 May we find good friendship and aid in him, famed among men;May Indra be present at our hymns, urging work on like a swift steed.

1.173.10 Let mace-handed Indra be ours against rivals, celebrated among men;Like men who love a friend they seek the lord of the fort with sacrifices in the contest.

1.173.11 A sacrifice gladdens Indra even when a distracted man offers it in his mind;Like a long road to water, it opens a swift path to the thirsty man's home.

1.173.12 Do not abandon us here in battles with the gods, Indra; you have allies, mighty one;The gift-rich man's generous, oblation-bearing song calls on the Maruts.

1.173.13 This hymn is for you, Indra; with it show us a path, bay-horsed one;Turn toward us for good, god: may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

Hymn 1.174 — Seer: Agastya Maitravaruni. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.174.1 You are king, Indra, over gods as well: guard men, protect us, divine lord;You are our true, generous master and victor, faithful one, possessor of wealth and strength.

1.174.2 When you broke seven autumn forts as shelter for Danu's harsh-speaking people, Indra,You opened the blameless flowing waters, and subdued young Vritra for Purukutsa.

1.174.3 You chose the heroic wives, Indra, and heaven with them, much-invoked one;Guard Agni, unswerving and swift, like a lion in his dwelling, and the work of day and night.

1.174.4 Let them rest, Indra, in your appointed place for praise of your great weapon;When you freed the rivers and won cattle by battle, your bay pair stood and boldly seized the prizes.

1.174.5 Carry Kutsa, Indra, with the two straight, wind-swift horses he desires;Tear the wheel from Surya nearby, mace-bearer, as you go against your rivals.

1.174.6 You have struck the hostile, godless ones, Indra, bay-horsed one, and awakened friendly peoples;They look toward Aryaman, bearing children with your help and keeping the law.

1.174.7 The poet sang when Indra won the sun; you made earth a cushion for the Dasa;Generous one, you fashioned three bright gifts and cast Kuyava down into a dark dwelling.

1.174.8 Those ancient deeds of yours, Indra, came again as new, great power in heaven for former people;You broke the unbroken godless forts and bowed down the weapon of the evil unbeliever.

1.174.9 You freed rushing rivers, Indra, the waters roaring like streams from a plow;When you crossed beyond the sea, hero, you brought Turvasha and Yadu safely over.

1.175.2 Let your exhilarating, excellent bull's joy come to us,Powerful Indra, victorious, immortal conqueror in battles.

1.175.3 You are a hero who wins and drives the chariot of mankind onward;Strong one, you burned the lawless Dasyu like a vessel in flames.

1.175.4 You stole Surya's wheel for the poet, ruling by your might;Bring Kutsa on wind's horses to bear a weapon against Shushna.

1.175.5 Your joy is strongest, your wisdom most radiant;Think of us as Vritra-slayer, path-finder, winner of horses.

1.175.6 Just as you became to singers of old like water to the thirsty, Indra,So with this invocation I call you: may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

Hymn 1.176 — Seer: Agastya Maitravaruni. Deity: Indra. Meter: Anushtubh, verse 6 Trishtubh.

1.176.1 Drink for our finest sacrifice, Indra; enter the drop as a bull;You stir the adversary, but find no enemy close enough to stand.

1.176.2 Place your songs in him, the one lord of peoples;He is sown according to his own law, like barley the farmer grows, the bull.

1.176.3 In his hands are all the treasures of the five peoples;Watch out for the one who wrongs us and strike like lightning from heaven.

1.176.4 Strike down the man who presses no soma and destroys all, the one who brings you no joy;Give us knowledge of his wealth, which even his patron covets.

1.176.5 The refuge of this mighty twofold one is found continuously in songs;In battle, drop, aid Indra, the prize-winner among prizes.

1.176.6 Just as you became to singers of old like water to the thirsty, Indra,So with this invocation I call you: may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

Hymn 1.177 — Seer: Agastya Maitravaruni. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.177.1 Indra, bull filling the peoples, king of tribes, much invoked by men,Praised and seeking fame, yoke your bay pair and come near the pressing stones for our help.

1.177.2 Your mighty stallions, Indra, harnessed by prayers to the mighty chariot:Mount them and come near; we call you at the pressed soma, Indra.

1.177.3 Mount your mighty chariot, bull; the strong soma and honeyed drops have been poured for you;Yoke your two bay bulls, bull of the peoples, and come down to the stones.

1.177.4 Here is the god-loving sacrifice, here the offering, these the prayers and the soma, Indra;The ritual grass is spread: come forth, mighty one; sit and drink, and loose your bay pair here.

1.177.5 Well-praised Indra, come here to the venerable poet's prayers;With your aid may we find a dwelling as we sing, and win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

1.178.1 If that response of yours is ready, Indra, with which you helped singers,Do not consume our growing desire; may I attain all your gifts among the sons of Ayu.

1.178.2 King Indra will not deceive us, nor the sisters who make their home;Even the waters flowed easily for him: may Indra's friendship and strength reach us.

1.178.3 With men Indra is victor, a hero in battles, hearing the needy singer's call;He brings the chariot near the giver, lifting songs as he himself rises.

1.178.4 Thus Indra with men has won fine fame, providing food for his allies;In the contest he gives praise to the singer, his word a lasting service to the sacrificer.

1.178.5 With your help, generous Indra, may we overcome enemies who think themselves mighty;Be our protector and our strength: may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

1.179.1 For many autumns I have toiled, wearing out nights and dawns;Age diminishes the body's beauty; yet strong men should come to their wives.

1.179.2 Even the ancient men who won Truth and spoke truths with the godsReached their end; they did not live forever: let strong men now come together with their wives.

1.179.3 The gods do not let toil come to nothing; together we can overcome every rival;Here we shall win the battle in a hundred ways if we two run forward together as a pair.

1.179.4 Desire has come over me, though I have held it back, born from somewhere near or far;Lopamudra draws her strong husband close; the ardent woman embraces the panting sage.

1.179.5 I speak to the soma drunk deep in my heart:If we have committed any wrong, let it pardon us; a mortal is filled with many desires.

1.179.6 Agastya dug with his digging tools, seeking children, offspring, and strength;The powerful seer nourished both human ways and won true blessings among the gods.

Hymn 1.180 — Seer: Agastya Maitravaruni. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.180.1 Your well-reined horses course through the skies when your chariot flies over the waves;Your golden wheels sparkle; drinking honey, you join the dawns.

1.180.2 You reach the winged hero's chariot when he prepares his worship;When your sister brings offerings of every kind, she seeks food and the honeyed drink.

1.180.3 You put milk in the bright cow, ripeness in what was unripe, the ancient cow;When among the forest trees you, drinkers of Truth, are worshiped with oblation like a pure flame.

1.180.4 For Atri you chose the honeyed hot drink, Ashvins, as water chooses its rushing course;The devout seek your gifts of cattle and food, as chariot wheels follow one another.

1.180.5 I turn to you for giving, wondrous ones, like Tugra's son with his cattle-fetching plea;The earth's waters follow your might; worn with age, I seek refuge from distress, worshipful ones.

1.180.6 When you yoke your teams, generous ones, and release abundance according to your own ordinance,It runs and spreads like wind; the generous man takes a great reward as a keeper of good vows.

1.180.7 We your singers seek your favor faithfully, though the Pani conceals the riches;You, Ashvins, are faultless and have made a path near the gods, mighty ones.

1.180.8 Day after day, Ashvins, as you won the wild stream,Agastya, praised among men, brought thousands to your notice with a song like rushing water.

1.180.9 When you drive forth in your mighty chariot, when you move swiftly like human priests,Grant your patrons good horses, Nasatyas, and let us seek wealth successfully.

1.180.10 Today we call that chariot of yours with new hymns for our welfare, Ashvins,Its rims unbroken, traveling heaven's circuit: may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

Hymn 1.181 — Seer: Agastya Maitravaruni. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.181.1 When did you, dearest among nourishing riches, bring the waters up for the sacrificer?This sacrifice has praised you, guardians of people and holders of wealth.

1.181.2 May your pure, heavenly, milk-rich, wind-swift, thought-speeding stallionsWith covered backs bring you here, independent Ashvins.

1.181.3 Let your chariot come for blessing, swift down the slope and smoothly seated,With two mighty riders, swifter than thought, the foremost in sacrifice.

1.181.4 Born here and here, let both sing together in their spotless bodies under their own names;One of you is a conquering giver at the fine sacrifice, the other a blessed son of heaven.

1.181.5 Your bay horses seek the homes of the dappled herd along the ridges;The other's bay pair swell with food; the worlds, Ashvins, ring out with your cries.

1.181.6 The autumn-rich bull goes forth like a seated lord, sending abundant food and honey;The other's powers swell with prizes, and eager rivers rise and run.

1.181.7 An ancient song from the maker has been released for you, Ashvins, flowing strongly in three streams;Protect your suppliant with praise and hear my call on every journey.

1.181.8 Your bright and lovely song nourishes men in the three-grass gathering;Your rain-cloud grows strong, pouring bounty for mortals like a cow milking herself.

1.181.9 I call you, Ashvins, bearing gifts like Pushan, as an offerer calls Agni at dawn;I praise you seeking your help: may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

1.182.1 The sign has appeared; adorn it now, mighty charioteers, be glad, thoughtful ones;Thought-strengtheners and wise ones, bearing gifts to Vishpala, heaven's children of pure ordinance, favor the righteous.

1.182.2 More Indra-like, more Marut-like than any, healers most wondrous, peerless charioteers,You bear a full chariot heaped with honey and come with it to the giver, Ashvins.

1.182.3 What are you doing here, wondrous ones? Why sit still while some offeringless man prospers?Stride past him and crush the Pani's life-force; make light for the eloquent seer.

1.182.4 Check the two dogs snapping on either side; strike down foes—you know how, Ashvins;Make each of the singer's words a jewel; protect both my praises, Nasatyas.

1.182.5 For Tugra's son you made a winged vessel afloat on the rivers, alive in its own power;By it you flew with minds fixed on the gods and carried him away from the great flood.

1.182.6 The son of Tugra was flung into the waters, cast into darkness where nothing could be grasped;Four boats, welcomed from Jathala, rose at the Ashvins' bidding and ferried him across.

1.182.7 What tree stood in the middle of the sea for Tugra's son to cling to in his distress?You, Ashvins, brought him up for renown, as one grasps the wings of a flying beast.

1.182.8 May what men once said in your praise follow you, Nasatyas;From this soma gathering today, may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

Hymn 1.183 — Seer: Agastya Maitravaruni. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.183.2 Your well-turning chariot rolls over the earth, bearing you, wise ones, toward nourishment;Let this shapely song join your beauty; you two accompany Dawn, heaven's daughter.

1.183.3 Mount your well-turning chariot, which follows the ordinances and bears oblations,In which you travel, Nasatyas, to give food and aid for offspring and yourselves.

1.183.4 Let neither wolf nor she-wolf attack you; do not shun us or forsake us;Here is your allotted portion and here your song, wondrous ones, here your hoards of honey.

1.183.5 Gotama, Purumilha, and Atri call you with oblations for help, wondrous ones;Come toward my call, Nasatyas, traveling straight as though toward a marked direction.

1.184.2 Take joy in us, mighty ones, and strike the Panis amid the flood in your gladness;Hear me through the fair words of my thoughts, heroes, active seekers with keen ears.

1.184.3 As Pushan prepared splendor, gods, so the Ashvins went to Surya's wedding;Your lofty praises rise in the waters, age after age under vast Varuna's reign.

1.184.4 Let your honeyed gift be ours; drive forth the venerable poet's hymn;In pursuit of your fame, generous ones, people rejoice in your heroic strength.

1.184.5 This hymn is made for you, Ashvins, by reverent, well-turned words, generous ones;Come to help Agastya, Nasatyas, rejoicing for his children and himself.

Hymn 1.185 — Seer: Agastya Maitravaruni. Deities: Heaven and Earth. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.185.1 Which was first of you, and which came later? How were you born, poets—who knows?You uphold everything by yourselves and turn like two wheels with the days.

1.185.2 The two hold within their abundance an unmoving, footless embryo and all that moves with feet;Like an eternal son in his parents' lap: Heaven and Earth, shield us from disaster.

1.185.3 I call for Aditi's unhindered, harmless, heaven-bright, reverent gift;Bring it forth for the singer, both worlds: Heaven and Earth, shield us from disaster.

1.185.4 May we follow the help of you unscorched parents of gods, Heaven and Earth;Both gods of both divine realms and days: Heaven and Earth, shield us from disaster.

1.185.5 Two maidens coming together on every side, sisters, kinswomen in their parents' lap,They kiss the navel of the world: Heaven and Earth, shield us from disaster.

1.185.6 I call the vast, wide dwellings, mothers of the gods through Truth, for help;They keep immortality on their fair faces: Heaven and Earth, shield us from disaster.

1.185.7 Vast, broad, abundant, with far-distant boundaries, I address you with reverence in this sacrifice;You establish lovely, swift aid: Heaven and Earth, shield us from disaster.

1.185.8 Whatever wrong we have done against the gods, a friend, or always against a master of the house,Let this prayer reconcile us to them: Heaven and Earth, shield us from disaster.

1.185.9 May both receive my human praises and both accompany me with protection;Grant the generous man rich food, gods, that we may rejoice in nourishment.

1.185.10 Thoughtful, I have first spoken this Truth aloud for heaven and earth;Let father and mother shield me with help from reproach and nearby evil.

1.185.11 Let what I say to you here be true, Heaven and Earth, father and mother;Be our nearest divine aid: may we win nourishing food and lasting vigor.

1.191.11 This little bird ate your poison together with hers;Neither it nor we shall die; his course is far away: Harishtha, the honey-maker has made you honey.

1.191.12 Three times seven sparks of fire consumed the growth of poison;Neither they nor we shall die; his course is far away: Harishtha, the honey-maker has made you honey.

1.191.13 Of ninety-nine poison-stripping herbs,I have seized the names of them all; his course is far away: Harishtha, the honey-maker has made you honey.

1.191.14 Three times seven peahens, seven maiden sisters,Have carried your poison off like women bearing water jars.

1.191.15 I crush the tiny Kushumbhaka with a stone;The poison turns away from there and flees along the distant slopes.

1.31.9 Agni, flawless, watchful god among gods, come to us from the lap of your parents;Care for the singer's body and mind; generous one, you give every kind of good.

1.31.10 Agni, you are our guide and father; you make us strong, and we are your relatives;Riches by the hundred and thousand come to you, giver of strong children who keeps his ordinance and cannot be deceived.

1.31.11 Agni, the gods made you the first life for living people, lord of Nahusha's house;They made Ila a guide for human beings, as a son is born to his own father.

1.31.12 God Agni, protect our bodies and our generous people with your protection;Watch over our children and descendants, and over our cattle, without blinking, under your ordinance.

1.31.13 Agni, you burn as an inner guard for the worshiper who is free of bonds; you have four eyes;When a harmless man offers gifts to you, you even welcome a poor singer's prayer in your mind.

1.31.14 Agni, you grant the widely praising singer the highest prize worth seeking;Even a poor man's guide is called his father; you teach the inexperienced and point the way to the wise.

1.31.15 Agni, you protect a man who gives gifts on all sides, like a fitted coat of armor;He enjoys sweet food, gives a pleasant home, and sacrifices throughout his life, reaching the heights of heaven.

1.31.16 Agni, consider this shelter of ours and this road we have traveled from far away;You are friend, father, and guide to those who offer soma; you make wandering mortals into seers.

1.31.17 Agni, descendant of Angiras, come to our home as you did to Manu and Angiras and as you did long ago to Yayati;Bring the divine people, seat them on the ritual grass, and sacrifice to the dear ones.

1.31.18 Grow strong through this prayer, Agni, and whatever we have done with strength and knowledge;Lead us toward greater good and unite us with goodwill that brings prizes.

Hymn 1.32 — Seer: Hiranyastupa Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.32.1 Now I shall tell of Indra's mighty deeds, the first acts of the wielder of the mace (the thunderbolt):He killed the serpent, released the waters, and opened the channels through the mountains.

1.32.2 He killed the serpent lying on the mountain; Tvashtar made a sounding mace for him;The waters flowed straight down to the sea like lowing milk cows.

1.32.3 Longing to be strong, he chose soma and drank the pressed drink at the three sacred vessels;The generous one took up the mace as his weapon and killed the firstborn of the serpents.

1.32.4 Indra, when you killed the firstborn of the serpents and defeated the powers of the tricksters,You brought out the sun, the sky, and Ushas; after that you found no enemy to match you.

1.32.5 Indra killed Vritra, stronger than other Vritras, with his great weapon, the mace;With its limbs cut like tree trunks by an ax, the serpent lay along the earth.

1.32.6 He challenged the great hero like an unskilled fighter, drunk on his own strength;He could not escape the clash of weapons, and Indra's enemy lay crushed and broken.

1.32.7 With neither hands nor feet he fought Indra; the mace struck him on his back;Trying to rival a bull though he had no strength, Vritra lay scattered in many places.

1.32.8 The waters rose and flowed over him as he lay like a breached riverbank;The serpent lay at the feet of the waters that Vritra had surrounded with his might.

1.32.9 The mother of Vritra sank down as Indra struck her with his weapon;Her son lay below, she above, and Danu lay like a cow beside her calf.

1.32.10 His body lay amid the waters, which never stand still and have no resting place;The waters passed over Vritra's hidden body, and Indra's enemy lay in deep darkness.

1.32.11 The waters stood captive, ruled by a serpent and belonging to the Dasas, like cattle held by the Panis;After killing Vritra he opened the blocked mouth of the waters.

1.32.12 Indra, you became like a horse's tail when the one god struck back at you with his sharp weapon;Hero, you won the cattle and soma, and set the seven rivers flowing.

1.32.13 His lightning and thunder did not stop Indra, nor did the rain and hail he hurled;When Indra and the serpent fought, the generous one won, even beyond these attacks.

1.32.14 Indra, what avenger of the serpent did you see that fear entered your heart after the killing?You crossed ninety-nine flowing rivers and the skies like a frightened hawk.

1.32.15 Indra, whose arm holds the mace, is king of what moves and what stays still, the peaceful and the horned;He rules human beings and surrounds them as a wheel rim surrounds its spokes.

Hymn 1.33 — Seer: Hiranyastupa Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.33.1 Let us go to Indra, seeking cattle; may he strengthen our understanding;No one can defeat him; perhaps he will bring us his wealth and the sign of cattle.

1.33.2 I fly toward the giver of wealth, whom no one can resist, like a hawk to a loved nest;With songs I honor Indra, who must be called by singers on their journey.

1.33.3 He emptied the enemies' quivers and drove away whichever cattle he wanted;Indra, your abundant gifts are celebrated: don't let the Pani grow rich at our expense.

1.33.4 Indra, traveling alone with your allies, you killed the wealthy Dasyu with your weapon;The people who made no sacrifice scattered from the bow and went away on their ancient path.

1.33.5 The people who made no sacrifice turned their heads away from you, Indra, as they competed with worshipers;Strong lord of the bay horses, from your place in heaven you brought the lawless down between earth and sky.

1.33.6 The peoples of the Navagvas would not fight your blameless army and would not attack;Like bulls without their strength they fled and came to you with their words, Indra.

1.33.7 Indra, you fought those enemies beyond the sky, crying and laughing;You drove the Dasyu down from high heaven and supported the praise of the presser and singer.

1.33.8 They made a fence around the earth, decorating it with gold and jewels;They could not drive Indra away; he placed his watchers around them with the sun.

1.33.9 When, Indra, you filled all of heaven and earth on every side with your greatness,You brought down the Dasyu, whose thoughts were wrong, with the thoughts and prayers of your people.

1.33.10 Those enemies reached neither the ends of heaven and earth nor the giver of wealth through their tricks;Indra the bull took up the mace as an ally and drew the cattle from darkness into the light.

1.33.11 His waters streamed according to their own nature; he grew among the river channels;With united resolve Indra struck him in broad daylight with his mightiest blow.

1.33.12 Indra split the hard defenses of Ilibisha and broke the horned Shushna apart;Generous one, you killed the fighting enemy with the mace, as far as your strength could reach.

1.33.13 His enemies came against him; he split open their strongholds with his sharp power;Indra hit Vritra with the mace, seeking to make his own plan prevail.

1.33.14 Indra, you helped Kutsa, whom you loved, and the strong Dashadyu as he fought;Dust flung from hooves reached the sky; the son of Shvitra stood up to conquer men.

1.33.15 Generous one, you helped the strong Shama among the Tugryas to win the white cow in the fields;Though the hostile ones stood there long, you made their knowledge inferior.

Hymn 1.34 — Seer: Hiranyastupa Angirasa. Deities: the Ashvins. Meters: Jagati, Trishtubh (9–12).

1.34.1 Come to us three times today with new help; Ashvins, your journeys and gifts reach everywhere;Your control is like a winter garment; let thoughtful people come to you for protection.

1.34.2 Your chariot that carries sweet drink has three wheels, as everyone knows who desires soma;Its three supports are firmly set; Ashvins, you travel three times by night and three times by day.

1.34.3 Three times in one day, you who destroy wrongdoing, mix sweetness into the sacrifice;Ashvins, three times at evening and dawn fill us with food rich in prizes.

1.34.4 Go to the place of sacrifice three times and three times to those who follow your ordinance; give in three ways to those who need your help;Ashvins, bring joy three times and fill us three times with nourishment that does not fail.

1.34.5 Ashvins, bring us wealth three times; protect our thoughts three times in worship of the gods;Give us good fortune and fame three times; three times let the sun's daughter mount your chariot.

1.34.6 Ashvins, give us heavenly cures three times, earthly cures three times, and those from the waters three times;Beautiful lords, bring my son protection in three forms for peace and safety.

1.34.7 Ashvins, come to our sacrifice three times each day; you have covered the earth in three layers;Nasatyas, you have three distant chariot routes: come as wind goes to its own home.

1.34.8 Ashvins, there are three invitations with the seven mother rivers and an offering in three parts;You guard three earths and the vault above heaven, established by days and nights.

1.34.9 Where are the three wheels of the three-part chariot? Where are the three supports attached together?When will the strong donkey be harnessed, Nasatyas, to bring you to the sacrifice?

1.34.10 Come, Nasatyas, for the offering is ready; drink the sweet drink with mouths that love sweetness;Even before Savitar and Ushas, your bright butter-rich chariot moves in accord with truth.

1.34.11 Nasatyas, come here with the three groups of eleven gods, Ashvins, to drink the sweet drink;Extend our lives, wipe away harm, drive off hostility, and stay beside us.

1.34.12 Ashvins, bring us wealth and brave sons here on your three-part chariot;Hear me call for help, and help us grow as we win prizes.

Hymn 1.35 — Seer: Hiranyastupa Angirasa. Deities: Agni, Mitra and Varuna, Night and Savitar (1); Savitar (2–11). Meters: Trishtubh and Jagati (1, 9).

1.35.1 I call first on Agni for well-being; I call Mitra and Varuna here for help;I call Night, who settles the world to rest, and I call divine Savitar for help.

1.35.2 Moving through the dark space, setting both immortal and mortal at rest,Divine Savitar travels on his golden chariot and watches all living things.

1.35.3 The god travels down and up; he travels with his two shining, worshipful bay horses;Divine Savitar comes from afar, driving away every wrong.

1.35.4 Savitar of many-colored light mounts his great chariot covered in all forms, with golden fittings;He passes through the dark spaces, carrying his strength.

1.35.5 The dark horses with white feet look out at the peoples as they pull the gold-fronted chariot;All peoples and living things always rest in the lap of divine Savitar.

1.35.6 Three heavens belong to Savitar: two are in his lap, and one rules the world of Yama;Immortals stand on him as on a chariot axle: let whoever knows this tell us here.

1.35.7 The winged one has surveyed the spaces of air, the deep-minded lord who guides us well;Where is the sun now? Who knows to which heaven his ray extends?

1.35.8 He has surveyed Earth's eight directions, three barren lands, and seven rivers;Golden-eyed Savitar has come, carrying desirable treasures for the giver.

1.35.9 Golden-handed Savitar, who watches people, travels between heaven and earth;He drives away disease, follows the sun, and covers the sky with dark space.

1.35.10 May the golden-handed lord, who guides us well, is kind and owns good things, come here;Driving off harmful demons, the god rises each evening as people praise him.

1.35.11 Savitar, your ancient roads through the air are free of dust and well made;Protect us today along those easy roads, and speak for us, god.

Hymn 1.36 — Seer: Kanva Ghaura. Deity: Agni, or the sacrificial post (13–14). Meters: Pragatha, Brihati and Satobrihati.

1.36.1 With good hymns and words we ask you to come to Agni,The mighty one whom many communities seeking the gods praise.

1.36.2 People set Agni in place to increase their strength; with offerings we serve you;Today be kind and help us in our contests, god who dwells with us.

1.36.3 We choose you as messenger and priest who knows everything;Though you are great, your flames spread far and their light touches heaven.

1.36.4 The gods Varuna, Mitra, and Aryaman kindle you as their ancient messenger;Agni, the mortal who gives to you wins all wealth with your help.

1.36.5 Agni, you are the joyful priest, lord of the house, and messenger of the peoples;Within you stand firm all the ordinances that the gods established together.

1.36.6 Youngest Agni, blessed one, every offering is poured into you;Be kind to us today and later, and honor the gods to bring us brave sons.

1.36.7 Those who show respect gather around this god who rules himself;People kindle Agni with offerings as they cross beyond harm.

1.36.8 Killing Vritra, they crossed the space between heaven and earth and the waters, making a wide home;May the shining bull be called to Kanva, roaring like a horse when cattle are sought.

1.36.9 Sit here, for you are great; shine brightly, god most loved at feasts;Agni, worthy of sacrifice, send up your beautiful red smoke where all can see it.

1.36.10 You are the god whom the gods set here for Manu, best worshiper and carrier of offerings;Kanva Medhyatithi worshiped you as winner of riches, as did the strong singers.

1.36.11 Kanva Medhyatithi lit this Agni according to truth;Its flames shone at his bidding, and we strengthen that Agni with these verses.

1.36.12 Fill us with wealth, self-ruling one, for you have kinship with the gods, Agni;You rule over the celebrated prize; be kind to us, for you are great.

1.36.13 Stand upright to help us, like the god Savitar;Rise as the giver of prizes when we call with singers who shine bright.

1.36.14 Stand high and guard us from harm; burn every devourer with your flame;Raise us up so we can travel and live, and make our offerings known among the gods.

1.36.15 Protect us, Agni, from demons and the deceit of a person who gives nothing;Protect us from one who hurts us or wants to kill us, youngest one of great light.

1.36.16 As with a club, strike the ungenerous in every direction; burn whoever hates us;Don't let that human enemy who sharpens his weapons night after night rule us.

1.36.17 Agni won strength in sons, and Agni won good fortune for Kanva.Agni helped Mitra and Medhyatithi; Agni helped Upastuta in the contest.

1.36.18 With Agni we call Turvasha and Yadu from far away, and Ugradeva.Agni led Navavastva, Brihadratha, and Turviti to victory against the Dasyu.

1.36.19 Manu set you down, Agni, as a light for people through the ages.You shone for Kanva, born of truth and strengthened, whom the peoples honor.

1.36.20 Agni's flames are fierce and strong, too frightening to face.Burn every demon, every sorcerer and every devourer.

Hymn 1.37 — Seer: Kanva Ghaura. Deity: the Maruts. Meter: Gayatri.

1.37.1 Sing out, Kanvas, to the playful troop of Maruts,Whose chariot is swift and cannot be stopped.

1.37.2 They were born shining with their own light,With spotted mares, spears, axes, and ornaments.

1.37.3 Here I seem to hear their whip speak in their handsAs they make themselves splendid for their journey.

1.37.4 Sing a god-given song for your troop,Strong, powerful, and brilliant with light.

1.37.5 Praise the playful Marut troop among the cows that must not be killed;It grew strong as it drank the juice.

1.37.6 Which of you is greatest, men who shake heaven and earth,When you shake them as if they were the hem of a garment?

1.37.7 Human beings submit to your furious journey;The mountain and the hill pull back before your anger.

1.37.8 When they rush on, the earth trembles with fear,Like an old head of a household.

1.37.9 Their strength is firm from birth, going out from their mother;Indeed it follows them twice over.

1.37.10 Those sons raised their voices high as they sped to the horizon,Calling loudly as they set out.

1.37.11 Even the long, broad cloud, offspring of rain and hard to break,They move forward with their journeys.

1.37.12 Maruts, when you bring your force against people,You shake mountains too.

1.37.13 When the Maruts travel, they speak together on the road;Someone hears their voices.

1.37.14 Come quickly with your swift teams; the Kanvas have offerings for you.Take pleasure there.

1.37.15 There is indeed something here for your delight, and we belong to you;Let us live out our whole lives.

Hymn 1.38 — Seer: Kanva Ghaura. Deity: the Maruts. Meter: Gayatri.

1.38.1 When will you, fond of us, take us in your hands,Like a father takes his son, you for whom the ritual grass is cut?

1.38.2 Where are you now? What purpose will bring you from heaven or earth?Where are your cows enjoying themselves?

1.38.3 Where are your new favors, Maruts, and where your help?Where is all your good fortune?

1.38.4 If you, sons of Prishni, were mortals,Your singer would become immortal.

1.38.5 Do not let your singer become unwelcome to you like a deer in the grass,Or go along Yama's road.

1.38.6 Do not let ruin, hard to resist, strike us down, from near or far;Let it fall along with thirst.

1.38.7 Truly, the Rudra-born ones are fierce and strong;They make rain even in a windless desert.

1.38.8 Lightning bellows like a cow and clings like a mother to her calfWhen their rain is released.

1.38.9 They make darkness even by day with a raincloud bearing water,When they soak the earth.

1.38.10 At the sound of the Maruts, every home on earthAnd its people shook.

1.38.11 Maruts, with strong hands, travel along the shining regionsOn your journeys that never tire.

1.38.12 May your chariot wheels be firm, and your horses too;May your reins be well made.

1.38.13 Speak openly in your own voice in praise of Brihaspati,And of Agni, lovely to see like Mitra.

1.38.14 Form a song in your mouth and spread it like Parjanya;Sing a worthy Gayatri hymn.

1.38.15 Praise the fierce, admirable, singing troop of Maruts;May they grow strong among us here.

Hymn 1.39 — Seer: Kanva Ghaura. Deity: Brihaspati. Meter: Pragatha (alternating Brihati and Satobrihati).

1.39.1 When you cast your radiance here from far away like fire,By whose plan and whose form do you travel, Maruts? Whom do you shake, and where do you go?

1.39.2 May your weapons be firm, to drive away and hold off enemies.Let that wonderful strength be yours, not a deceitful mortal's.

1.39.3 When you strike down something firm, you men turn over heavy things.You scatter the trees of the earth and the masses of the mountains.

1.39.4 No enemy of yours is found in heaven or on earth, destroyers of foes.May your strength stay with you forever, sons of Rudra, impossible to challenge even now.

1.39.5 They make mountains tremble and tear trees apart.The Maruts have set out, gods with all their company, like people drunk with excitement.

1.39.6 You yoked your spotted mares to your chariots; a red horse pulls in front.Even earth heard your journey coming, and people were afraid.

1.39.7 Sons of Rudra, we ask for your protection, quickly, for our children.Come to us now with help, as before, to frightened Kanva.

1.39.8 If trouble sent by you, Maruts, or sent by a mortal comes against us,Keep it away with your power and strength and with your help.

1.39.9 Gods who deserve sacrifice and understand, give Kanva help without limits.Come to us, Maruts, with unlimited aid, like lightning bringing rain.

1.39.10 You carry strength without limits, generous ones; your shaking power has no limit.Maruts, angry at the one who hates the seer, send an arrow against that enemy.

Hymn 1.40 — Seer: Kanva Ghaura. Deity: Brihaspati. Meter: Pragatha (alternating Brihati and Satobrihati).

1.40.1 Get up, Brihaspati; we who seek the gods call on you.Let the generous Maruts come forward. Indra, join us quickly.

1.40.2 A mortal calls on you, son of strength, when wealth is at stake.Let the one who calls on you, Maruts, gain brave sons and fine horses.

1.40.3 Let Brihaspati come forward, and let the goddess of truthful speech come forward.Let the gods lead our sacrifice to the manly hero who receives offerings in rows.

1.40.4 Whoever gives good wealth to a singer gains undying fame.For him we offer worship with nourishing food, brave sons, easy victory, and freedom from harm.

1.40.5 Now Brihaspati speaks a hymn worthy of praise,In which Indra, Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman, and the gods have made their home.

1.40.6 Let us speak at our gatherings that beneficial hymn which the gods cannot defeat.Welcome these words too, men, so that all good things will come to you.

1.40.7 Who will reach the person who seeks the gods, who has cut the ritual grass?The generous man rises with his household and establishes his home within.

1.40.8 He shares in royal power, overcomes rulers, and establishes a secure home even in danger.No one can turn back or outdo the wielder of the mace (the thunderbolt), in a great battle or a small one.

Hymn 1.41 — Seer: Kanva Ghaura. Deities: Varuna, Mitra, and Aryaman (1–3); the Adityas (4–6). Meter: Gayatri.

1.41.1 The person guarded by wise Varuna, Mitra, and AryamanCannot be harmed even now.

1.41.3 These kings break through difficult places and enemy strongholds;They lead him past dangers.

1.41.4 The path for a person who follows truth is easy and free of stones, Adityas;There is no pitfall on your road.

1.41.5 Adityas, the sacrifice you men lead along the straight pathWill reach its intended purpose for you.

1.41.6 That mortal wins treasure, every good thing, children, and personal well-being,And reaches his goal without being stopped.

1.41.7 Friends, how can we praise Mitra and AryamanAnd the great protective power of Varuna?

1.41.8 Do not let me speak for someone who kills or curses you while claiming to seek the gods;I seek you only for your favor.

1.41.9 One should fear even a giver who conceals things on all four sides;One should not desire hurtful speech.

Hymn 1.42 — Seer: Kanva Ghaura. Deity: Pushan. Meter: Gayatri.

1.42.1 Pushan, guide us across the road and free us from danger;God, go ahead of us.

1.42.3 Drive the robber lurking beside the road, the cheat,Far away from our path.

1.42.4 Set your foot upon that double-dealing,Harmful speaker, whoever he is.

1.42.5 Clever Pushan, we ask you for the thoughtful helpWith which you urged our ancestors on.

1.42.6 Then, bringer of every good fortune, with your golden axe,Make our riches easy to win.

1.42.7 Lead us past those who cling to us; make our roads good and easy.Pushan, show good judgment for us here.

1.46.8 Your chariot is a broad oar from heaven at the river crossings;Our thoughts have harnessed the soma drops to it.

1.46.9 Kanvas, the soma drops are riches in the river's bed;Where do you two wish to put your own covering?

1.46.10 Light has come to the shoot, and the sun shines against gold;The dark one shows himself with his tongue.

1.46.11 A good path of truth has opened for crossing over;The route through the sky has become visible.

1.46.12 The singer prepares one favor after another from the Ashvins,Who are filled with the joy of soma.

1.46.13 Eager for the bright one's soma and called by our song,Come, you two who bring help, as you came to Manu.

1.46.14 Ushas has approached your glory as you circle everywhere;By night you win the rites of truth.

1.46.15 Drink together, Ashvins, and both grant us shelterWith help that cannot fail.

1.47.1 Here is soma, pressed yesterday, sweetest of all, for you two who strengthen truth;Drink it, Ashvins, and give treasures to the giver.

1.50.2 Stars depart with the nights like thievesBefore Surya, the eye of the whole world.

1.50.3 His signs, his rays, appear among the people,Shining like fires.

1.50.4 Surya, you cross the sky, seen by everyone and making light;You illuminate the whole bright world.

Hymn 1.51 — Seer: Savya Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meters: Jagati; Trishtubh (14–15).

1.51.1 Celebrate with songs that powerful, much-invoked Indra, an ocean of wealth;Praise the wise god, most generous with his gifts, whose sky mortals cannot cross.

1.51.2 Aid came to him, bringing the help he wanted, as his power filled the sky;The skillful Ribhus came to Indra, rich in plans and spilling joy, with swift true words.

1.51.3 You opened the cattle pen for the Angirases and found a way for Atri through a hundred doors;You brought wealth to Vimada with your army and shook the mountain in battle for the one who longed for it.

1.51.4 You opened the enclosure of the waters and released the wealth held inside the mountain;When you killed the snake Vritra with your strength, Indra, you raised the sun in heaven for all to see.

1.51.5 By your powers you overcame the deceivers who made offerings in secret by their own rites;You broke Pipru's forts and helped Rijishvan kill the Dasyus.

1.51.6 You helped Kutsa kill Shushna and handed Shambara over to Atithigva;You brought down even the great Arbuda with your foot: you were born long ago to kill Dasyus.

1.51.7 All strength is gathered in you, and your gift brings joy for drinking soma;The mace (the thunderbolt) rests in your arms, ready: cut down all the enemy's strength.

1.51.8 Distinguish the Aryas from the Dasyus; bring lawless people under the one who spreads the ritual grass;Be strong at the offerer's command: everyone knows your delight at our common feast.

1.51.9 Indra subdued those who broke the ordinances for the one who kept them, and crushed hostile men for his allies;Even a small creature singing praise reached the growing heaven and struck down the obstacles.

1.51.10 When Ushanas fashioned power for you, your force drove heaven and earth apart;Your brave, wind-swift, mind-harnessed horses carried you, growing strong, to fame.

1.51.11 When Indra rejoiced with Ushanas Kavya, he stood upon the most crooked one;Fierce and fast, he released the waters in streams and broke open Shushna's fortified strongholds.

1.51.12 You climb your chariot amid the strong drinks poured by Sharyata, which delight you;Indra, when you delight in pressed soma, you rise to a song in heaven that none can stop.

1.51.13 You gave Vricha's young daughter to Kakshivat, great singer and soma presser;Wise Indra, you were the wife of Vrishanashva; all your deeds at soma pressings deserve to be told.

1.51.14 Indra has been set among good thoughts, like a household post among the Pajras;Those who want horses, cattle, chariots, and wealth come to Indra, the source of riches.

1.51.15 This praise is spoken for the powerful bull, self-ruling, mighty and truly strong;Indra, may we and all our brave men stay within your shelter in this contest, together with our generous patrons.

Hymn 1.52 — Seer: Savya Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meters: Jagati; Trishtubh (13–15).

1.52.1 Praise the mighty one who found sunlight, whose hundred helpers move together;With fine songs let us bring Indra for help, like a swift prize-winning horse and chariot answering a call.

1.52.2 Firm as a mountain, he grew in strength with a thousand forms of help;Indra killed Vritra, who had blocked the rivers, and joyfully released the floods after drinking soma.

1.52.3 He chose the hidden store in the udder behind the doors, radiant at its base and growing in joy through the wise;I call that Indra with skillful thought: he gives the greatest gifts and fills himself with soma.

1.52.4 His own allies fill him up in heaven, where the ritual grass lies, like waters filling the sea;When Vritra was killed, his helpers stood by him, and his straight-moving powers rushed in without wind.

1.52.5 While he fought joyfully, help rushed toward his own rain like swift streams down a slope;Indra, armed with the mace and emboldened by soma, broke Vala's barriers like Trita.

1.52.6 Heat moves around him; strength flashes as he shut up the waters and lay at the bottom of the sky;Indra, you struck thunder on Vritra's jaws where he lay on the slope, hard to grasp.

1.52.7 Your strengthening songs, Indra, enter you like waves entering a lake;Even Tvastar increased your force and fashioned your mace to give you overwhelming strength.

1.52.8 Indra, resolved in purpose, you killed Vritra with your bay horses to make a path for the waters for Manu;You held an iron mace in your arms and kept the sun in heaven for people to see.

1.52.9 When the great, bright, praiseworthy ascent to heaven shook with fear,The Maruts, who stand by men in battle for sunlight, joined in delight with Indra's helpers.

1.52.10 Even the strong sky recoiled in fear at the snake's roar, Indra, before your mace;Drunk with pressed soma, you smashed Vritra's head as he pinned heaven and earth together.

1.52.11 When the earth lay like a thing grasped in ten hands and all the peoples spread through the days,Then, generous Indra, your famous strength rose high across heaven through your great power.

1.52.12 On the far side of the wide sky, you made yourself strong to give bold protection;You made the earth a measure of your power, and surpassed the waters, sunlight, and heaven.

1.52.13 You became the measure of the earth and lord of the great, lofty hero;You filled the whole midair with your greatness: truly no one is like you.

1.52.14 Heaven and earth do not reach the extent of your breadth, nor do rivers reach the end of the sky;As you fought joyfully for rain, you alone did everything else that people need.

1.52.15 The Maruts sang here in the battle, and all the gods joined in your delightWhen you, Indra, struck down Vritra's face with your sharp weapon.

Hymn 1.53 — Seer: Savya Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meters: Jagati; Trishtubh (10–11).

1.53.1 Now we bring speech and songs to mighty Indra in the bright one's home;Even now one finds treasure like sleepers waking, but poor praise does not please the giver of riches.

1.53.2 You are the door to horses, cattle, barley, and goods, Indra, lord of nourishment;You teach men, give from ancient times, and leave no one wanting: we praise you, the friend of friends.

1.53.3 Powerful Indra, doer of many deeds, brightest of all, you know the wealth around you;Take it and bring it here, conqueror: do not disappoint the singer who longs for you.

1.53.4 With these bright days and soma drops, driving away want through cattle and horses,Let us join Indra to break the Dasyu, shake off hatred, and share food.

1.53.5 Indra, let us share wealth, food, and many beautiful shining prizes;Let us share divine care, heroic strength, and cattle and horses in abundance.

1.53.6 Those joys and soma drinks made you glad and powerful, lord of what is good, when you killed Vritra;For the singer who spread the ritual grass you cut down ten enemies and thousands more.

1.53.7 You boldly meet battle with battle and break fort after fort with your force;Indra, in friendship with Namya you crushed the deceiver named Namuchi far away.

1.53.8 You killed Karanja and Parnaya with Atithigva's sharp weapon;You broke a hundred forts of Vangrida, which Rijishvan had besieged and which no one could repel.

1.53.9 You caught those rulers of the peoples, twice ten, who had come against Sushravas with their allies;You trapped sixty thousand and ninety-nine, famous charioteer, beneath your wheel where they could not stand.

1.53.10 You helped Sushravas with your aid and Turvayana with your protection, Indra;You brought Kutsa, Atithigva, and Ayu under that great young king's power.

1.53.11 Indra, may we be your happiest friends, upright and guarded by the gods;We will praise you and live longer with brave sons, thanks to you.

Hymn 1.54 — Seer: Savya Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meters: Jagati; Trishtubh (6, 8–9, 11).

1.54.1 Generous Indra, don't let us suffer in this fight; no one can reach the limits of your strength.You made the rivers roar and the woods cry out; how could the lands not quake in fear?

1.54.2 Praise Indra, who hears, and honor the capable, powerful god with a song;Strong and daring, he presses heaven and earth together in his great force.

1.54.3 Sing a powerful song to great heaven and its daring, self-ruling lord;This mighty one of great fame has grown strong: his chariot stands in front with its bay horses.

1.54.4 You shook the ridge of the vast sky and boldly broke Shambara by yourself;In battle you boldly wield the flashing lightning in your hand against the deceptive one with his followers.

1.54.5 When you fell upon the head of panting Shushna and his noisy bands in the woods,With your forward-looking, overwhelming mind, who could hold you back even today?

1.54.6 You helped brave Turvasha, Yadu, Turviti, and Vayya, Indra of a hundred plans;You helped Etasha in the chariot race for riches and destroyed ninety-nine forts.

1.54.7 The king and lord of good people prospers when he gives offerings and follows the command;Or when he celebrates your hymns with generosity, the heavens pour their gifts down for him.

1.54.8 May your rule and judgment be beyond compare, soma drinker, and so may the works of these men;They increase your great, ancient, vigorous power, Indra, by giving gifts.

1.54.9 These abundant drinks pressed from stones, set in bowls and cups, are yours, Indra;Enjoy them and satisfy your desire; then turn your thoughts to giving goods.

1.54.10 Darkness blocked the waters and lay in Vritra's belly, a mountain holding them back;Indra attacked the rivers held in that enclosure, and all rushed down the slopes in his wake.

1.54.11 Give us happiness and glory, Indra, and great power that overcomes peoples;Protect us, generous one, guard our patrons, and give us wealth, good children, and food.

Hymn 1.55 — Seer: Savya Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Jagati.

1.55.1 Even the reach of heaven spread out through his greatness; earth cannot match Indra;Fierce and mighty, he heats the peoples and sharpens his mace like a bull its horns.

1.55.2 He gathers the wide, scattered rivers like an ocean;Indra grows strong to drink soma, a warrior from ancient times praised for his force.

1.55.3 Indra, you rule that mountain as food and the laws of great strength;The gods know you through your heroic power, fierce leader in every deed.

1.55.4 He speaks to those honoring him in the woods and declares his pleasing strength to the people;The generous bull is desired as he brings the cow safely home.

1.55.5 He does great deeds in battle for the people with warrior strength;They also trust strong Indra as he strikes with his weapon, his mace.

1.55.6 Seeking fame and growing in earthly strength, he destroyed built-up dwellings;For the worshiper he made light unhindered and wisely let the waters flow down.

1.55.7 Soma drinker, set your mind on giving, and turn your bay horses toward us at the sound of praise;Indra, your drivers are the swiftest, and no sudden tricks can deceive you.

1.55.8 You carry inexhaustible wealth in your hands and unconquerable strength in your body;Like pools dug by workers, many plans lie within you, Indra.

Hymn 1.56 — Seer: Savya Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Jagati.

1.56.1 This mighty one rushes from his skins of soma like a horse toward its mate;He drinks golden power and turns his chariot, skillfully made and harnessed to bay horses.

1.56.2 Songs and people seeking food and plenty circle him like streams gathering in the sea;Now climb with power to the lord of skill and counsel, as you would climb a mountain.

1.56.3 Great and victorious, his manly strength is free of dust, flashing like a mountain peak;With it, after drinking, he bound and checked the deceitful Shushna in iron bonds.

1.56.4 When divine strength and growing aids cling to Indra like sunlight to dawn,He drives back darkness by his bold strength and stirs up dust with a great roar.

1.56.5 When you firmly set the vast, unshakable sky beyond sight in its heights,You rejoiced in soma, Indra, killed Vritra in the struggle for sunlight, and released the flood of waters.

1.56.6 You set the sky's support in place by your power and made earth's homes great, Indra;Joyful with pressed soma, you released the waters and smashed through Vritra's barriers.

Hymn 1.57 — Seer: Savya Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Jagati.

1.57.1 I offer my thought to the most generous, great and rich god, whose strength is real;His irresistible gift of life-giving power opens like water down a slope.

1.57.2 Then all our offerings follow you like water going downhill at the giver's soma pressings;Indra's bright golden mace, which breaks things, rested against the mountain.

1.57.3 At the sacrifice bring a gift with respect to this awesome and splendid god, like the bright dawn;His dwelling and powerful name were made a light for fame, like a horse on the way.

1.57.4 Indra, much praised, we are yours and rely on you, rich lord;No one but you, lover of songs, can receive them; welcome our words as the earth receives rain.

1.57.5 Your heroic strength is vast, Indra; fulfill your singer's wish, generous god;The great sky follows your strength, and this earth too bends to your power.

1.57.6 You cut that huge, wide mountain apart, section by section, with your mace, Indra;You released the trapped waters to flow and hold all power by yourself.

Hymn 1.58 — Seer: Nodhas Gautama. Deity: Agni. Meters: Jagati; Trishtubh (6–9).

1.58.1 The immortal god born of strength is still stirred when he becomes the bright one's priest and messenger;He marks out the sky by the best paths and seeks the gods with his offering.

1.58.2 Joining himself to his fuel, the ageless god stands among dry brush, moving quickly to consume it;He shines on the wet back like a horse and roars like thunder on heaven's summit.

1.58.3 With Rudras and Vasus, the immortal priest sits in front and wins wealth;Like a chariot among peoples, the god moves among the living and supplies valuable goods without interruption.

1.58.4 Driven by the wind, he stands in the brush, loudly swinging his tongues like sickles;Agni, when you charge through trees, your path is black and your wave is bright, ageless one.

1.58.5 With a burning jaw in the wood and driven by the wind, he blows like a bull conquering a herd;Racing over the earth with undiminished power, he frightens what stands, moves, and flies.

1.58.6 The Bhrigus placed you among human beings like lovely riches, easy for people to call on;Agni, the priest and honored guest, a helpful friend for those born under heaven.

1.58.7 I serve Agni, the priest whom seven ladles and singers choose for their sacrifices,The best at sacrifice, who brings all goods; with an offering I seek the treasure.

1.58.8 Son of strength, friend of all, give your singers unbroken shelter today;Agni, child of nourishment, protect your singer from danger with iron forts.

1.58.9 Shining god, be a defense for the singer, and be generous shelter for the generous;Agni, save your singer from danger; may the rich-minded one come quickly at dawn.

Hymn 1.59 — Seer: Nodhas Gautama. Deity: Agni Vaishvanara. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.59.1 Other fires are branches of you, Agni, and all immortals find joy in you;Vaishvanara, you are the center of peoples, holding them together like a pillar.

1.59.2 Agni became the head of heaven and the center of earth, their messenger between the two;The gods brought you to birth as a god, Vaishvanara, a light for the Arya.

1.59.3 As steady rays gather at the sun, goods gather in Agni Vaishvanara;You rule what is in mountains, plants, waters, and human beings.

1.59.4 Heaven and earth, like mighty parents to a son, offer their songs to the human priest, skilled in his work;Many strong songs go to Vaishvanara, leader of men, who has sunlight and true power.

1.59.5 Agni who knows births, your greatness exceeds even broad heaven, Vaishvanara;You are king of human peoples and made space for the gods through battle.

1.59.6 Now I will tell the greatness of the bull whom the Purus followed when he killed Vritra;Agni Vaishvanara killed the Dasyu, shook the ends of the world, and broke Shambara down.

1.59.7 Vaishvanara, worshiped by every people, shines greatly among the Bharadvajas;Agni grows old among the Shatavani and Purunitha with hundreds of gifts and truthful words.

Hymn 1.60 — Seer: Nodhas Gautama. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.60.1 Matarishvan brought the famous fire, the sign of the gathering, an excellent messenger who arrives at once;Born twice and valued like riches, he brought the gift to the Bhrigu.

1.60.2 Both kinds follow his direction: mortals with offerings and those eager for sacrifice;Older even than heaven, the priest has sat among peoples, their master, a wise one to consult.

1.60.3 May a new song of praise from our heart reach him as he is born, sweet-tongued;Human priests, sons of Manu, kindled him with offerings in their settlement.

1.60.4 The pure one who desires sacrifice, a treasure among humans, was made the chosen priest of peoples;Agni, master of the house in every home, rules riches as the lord of wealth.

1.60.5 We Gautamas praise you with thoughts, Agni, as lord of riches;We tend you as a swift prize-winning horse; may the rich-minded one come quickly at dawn.

Hymn 1.61 — Seer: Nodhas Gautama. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.61.1 To this quick, mighty Indra I bring praise as if bringing food to a home;I offer most generous hymns to him, the strong god who never tires.

1.61.2 To him I bring my song like an offering, polished and free from faults;With heart, mind, and wisdom they prepare thoughts for Indra, our ancient lord.

1.61.3 To him I bring with my voice this matchless song that finds the sun;Through good songs and thoughts I increase the most generous giver.

1.61.4 For him I send out a hymn as a carpenter sends out a well-made chariot;I give all my fine songs to wise Indra, who carries praise.

1.61.5 For famous Indra I prepare a song with my tongue like a horse;I honor the hero who lives among gifts, famous for breaking forts.

1.61.6 For him Tvastar fashioned a most effective mace for the fight for sunlight;With it the mighty lord struck Vritra's vital point as he rushed to attack.

1.61.7 As soon as he was born, he drank great nourishment at his mother's pressings, like a fine horse;Stronger than the rest, Vishnu stole cooked food, while the archer struck the boar across the mountain.

1.61.8 The divine wives of the gods raised a song for Indra when he killed the snake;He embraced the broad heaven and earth; they could not contain his greatness.

1.61.9 His greatness exceeded heaven, earth, and the midair;Indra rules himself in his own home, praised by all and fighting for the sunlight.

1.61.10 Indra cut the swollen Vritra apart with his mace by his own strength;He freed the rivers as if releasing fenced-in cows, eager for the fame of giving.

1.61.11 The rivers rejoiced in his fierceness when he held Vritra fast with his mace;The conquering ruler made a crossing for Turviti and a gift for the giver.

1.61.12 He drove his mace forward against Vritra, rushing into the battle;He split the ridges as one cuts joints of a cow, to let the waters flow.

1.61.13 Speak of his old, swift deeds in new hymns;Eager for battle, he reaches for weapons and destroys the enemy in anger.

1.61.14 At his birth, even solid mountains, heaven, and earth shook in fear;Nodhas, calling out, came quickly close to the beloved god's power.

1.61.15 To him alone belongs that great gift, for he won many things by himself;Indra helped Etasha in his race with Surya and Suashva in the pressing.

1.61.16 Thus we Gautamas have made fine hymns for your bay-horse teams, Indra;Place in them thoughts of every kind; may the rich-minded one come quickly at dawn.

Hymn 1.62 — Seer: Nodhas Gautama. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.62.1 We offer a powerful song as the Angirases did to the strong god who loves praise;With good hymns we sing our song for the famous man who deserves our praise.

1.62.2 Bring great homage and a song of praise to the mighty god;With that song our early fathers, the Angirases, found the cattle by following their tracks.

1.62.3 Sarama found food for her offspring, sent by Indra and the Angirases;Brihaspati broke the mountain and found the cows; the men called together with the dawns.

1.62.4 With seven singers' songs and with the nine Angirases' cry for sunlight,You, strong Indra, broke Vala open with a shout, helped by the ten Angirases who sought it.

1.62.5 Praised by the Angirases, wonderful Indra, you opened the darkness with dawn, sunlight, and cows;You spread out earth's heights and supported the upper space of heaven.

1.62.6 His most amazing and beautiful act was this:In a hidden place he filled four rivers, flowing with sweetness like honey.

1.62.7 Ayasya split open the two ancient companions with his songs of praise;The skillful god held up heaven and earth in the highest sky like Bhaga.

1.62.8 From long ago two different young women have moved around heaven, returning by their own paths;Night in dark forms and dawn in bright forms follow one another.

1.62.9 The skillful son held their ancient friendship firmly in his power;You keep ripe milk inside unripe cows, bright milk inside dark and reddish ones.

1.62.10 From ancient times the sister rivers have followed their ordinances, immortal and full of strength;Thousands of sisters, like wives serving a husband, attend him willingly.

1.62.11 Ancient yet new songs of those seeking wealth rush to you in respect;Thoughts reach you, mighty god, like wives longing for a willing husband.

1.62.12 Your riches have always been in your hands: they do not run out or fail, wonderful god;You are splendid, wise, and thoughtful, Indra; use your powers to teach us.

1.62.13 Gautama has made a new hymn for ancient Indra and his team of bay horses;Mighty god, lead us well through Nodhas; may the rich-minded one come quickly at dawn.

Hymn 1.63 — Seer: Nodhas Gautama. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.63.1 You are great, Indra: born in power, you set heaven and earth in place with force;Even all the firm, massive mountains stirred like rays of light in fear of you.

1.84.16 Who today yokes the powerful, shining cattle of truth, hard to restrain, to their burden?Who stops the arrows in their mouths and hearts, making them glad? Let him live.

1.84.17 Who strives or struggles, and who is afraid? Who thinks of Indra near at hand?Who speaks for his child, his great animal, his wealth, himself, and his people?

1.84.18 Who praises Agni with ghee offerings and worships with the ladle at the appointed times?For whom shall I quickly bring the gods? Who thinks of the kind god who enjoys offerings?

1.84.19 You really will praise the mortal, most powerful god;There is no other giver of kindness like you, generous Indra: I say these words to you.

1.88.3 For beauty, you lift your axes upon your bodies like forests rising straight;For you, well-born Maruts of great glory, they seek the mountain's treasure.

1.88.4 Greedy days have come around you and this divine song of the singer;The Gautamas make hymns with songs and lift up the spring to drink.

1.88.5 Gotama saw your team here, Maruts,Gold-wheeled, iron-toothed, running like boars.

Hymn 1.103 — Seer: Kutsa Angirasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.103.1 Ancient wise men held your highest power far away;Another part is on earth, another in heaven; their signs meet together like one.

1.103.2 He supported and spread the earth, killed with his mace, and released the waters;He killed the snake, broke Rauhina, and struck down Vyansa with his powers.

1.103.3 Faithful to his strength from birth, he roamed breaking forts and scattering Dasas;Knowing the Dasyu's weapon, Indra with the mace, increase Arya strength and glory.

1.103.4 Generous Indra has carried a famous name through human generations;Bearing his mace, he went to kill Dasyus when his son took a name for fame.

1.103.5 Look at all the plentiful things he has done and trust in Indra's heroism;He found cows and horses, plants, waters, and forests.

1.103.6 Let us press soma for the strong bull of many deeds, whose strength is real;Like a hero lying in wait for travelers, he knows how to take the nonworshiper's wealth.

1.103.7 You performed a great deed, Indra, when you woke the sleeping snake with your mace;Your wives, delighted, followed you, and all the gods shared your joy.

1.104.1 Indra, a place has been made for you to sit; sit there, snorting like a horse;Unharness your horses to graze, at night, by day, and at the evening meal.

1.104.2 Men went to Indra for help; may he come here now at once, across the paths;The gods subdue the Dasa's anger and bring us their brightness for good fortune.

1.104.3 He himself brings down what is seen, and brings down the foam on the water;Let Kuyava's two wives, bathed in milk, be killed on Shiphā's slope.

1.104.4 The hero drove the navel of the upper man apart and passed beyond his ancient powers;The rivers Anjasi, Kulishi, and Virapatni carry milk along with their waters.

1.104.5 When she saw the Dasyu's leader, she went to his home, knowing its path;Now remember us, generous god, and do not cast us away like property taken in a game.

1.104.6 Indra, grant us sunlight and waters and a blameless life full of hope;Do not damage what is inside us; we trust in your great power.

1.104.7 I believe he has placed his trust in you now; mighty god, drive on toward great wealth;Widely called Indra, do not give us as food to hungry birds in a place we did not make.

1.104.8 Do not kill us, Indra, or give us away, or rob us of our dear foods;Generous, powerful god, do not break our eggs or smash the vessels we share.

1.104.9 Come near: they say you want soma; here it is pressed, so drink and rejoice;Let your wide belly swell, and listen when we call like a father.

1.105.15 Varuna makes a hymn and finds a path; we ask him;He unfolds thought in the heart; let a new truth be born. Heaven and earth, understand this about me.

1.105.16 That path of the sun in heaven was made worthy of praise;Gods, it cannot be crossed; you mortals cannot see it. Heaven and earth, understand this about me.

1.105.17 Trita, thrown down a well, called on the gods for help;Brihaspati heard him and made a way out of danger. Heaven and earth, understand this about me.

1.109.1 Seeking wealth, Indra and Agni, I have looked at kin and fellow clan members in my mind;No other guides can help me like you, so I have shaped a thought to win you a prize.

1.109.2 I have heard you give more than a son-in-law or even a brother-in-law;So I prepare soma for you and make a new song of praise, Indra and Agni.

1.109.3 “We must not cut the reins,” they said as they prayed, reaching for their fathers' powers;The strong gods rejoice for Indra and Agni as the stones rest on the lap of thought.

1.110.3 Savitar brought you immortality when you came telling of what could not be hidden;You made the divine one's single drinking cup into four.

1.110.4 Devoted to work and able to cross, you gained immortality though you were mortals;Sons of Sudhanvan, Ribhus who see the sun, you joined wisdom over a year.

1.110.5 Ribhus, you measured out the single drinking vessel like a field, asking for it;The ones who praised you wanted fame among the immortals.

1.110.6 With knowledge let us pour a thought from the sky for the men, like ghee from a ladle;The Ribhus and Vaja followed their father's way of crossing and climbed to heaven.

1.110.7 May Indra joined with the Ribhus give us new strength, and the Ribhus and Vaja give us riches;With your help, gods, may we stand against non-pressers in battle on your favored day.

1.110.8 Ribhus, you shaped the cow out of its skin and joined the calf with its mother again;Skillful sons of Sudhanvan, you made your old parents young.

1.111.3 Make us success, Ribhus, success for our chariot and horses;Let us win success in every battle, over relatives and strangers alike.

1.111.4 I call Indra with the Ribhus to help, the Ribhus, Vajas, and Maruts to drink soma;Now Mitra, Varuna, and the Ashvins too: let them send our thoughts toward success and victory.

1.111.5 Let the Ribhu sharpen our success for battle, and Vaja who wins contests help us;May Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, the river, earth, and heaven approve this for us.

1.113.1 This brightest of lights has come; a shining sign has appeared far and wide.As if released at Savitar's command, night has yielded her place to Dawn.

1.113.2 The bright one has come with her bright calf; the dark one has left her homes.The two immortal sisters follow each other on the same path, exchanging the color of heaven.

1.113.3 The sisters have the same endless road, and travel it one after the other as the gods have directed.They do not collide or stop; Night and Dawn, well-matched, have one purpose though they look different.

1.113.4 Bright leader of honest words, she has appeared and opened the splendid doors for us.She has set the world in motion and shown us its wealth: Dawn has awakened all living things.

1.113.5 You wake one person to travel, generous one, another to enjoy life, another to seek wealth.You give the short-sighted a wide view: Dawn has awakened all living things.

1.113.6 You wake one to rule, one to win fame, one to greatness, one to seek a goal, another to go his way.You show people their different ways to live: Dawn has awakened all living things.

1.113.7 This young daughter of heaven has appeared, growing light in her shining clothes.You rule all earthly wealth; fortunate Dawn, bring light here today.

1.113.8 She follows the path of Dawns that have gone before and is first among those still to come.Dawn breaks and wakes the living; she also wakes someone who is dead.

1.113.9 Dawn, when you made Agni ready to be lit, and opened our sight with the sun,And woke people who were about to sacrifice, you did good work among the gods.

1.113.10 How long is it until the Dawns that have already appeared, those appearing now, and those yet to appear meet?She longs for the earlier ones and follows them; shining, she joins the others gladly.

1.113.11 Those mortals who saw the earlier Dawn are gone.Now she is visible to us, and those who will see later Dawns are coming.

1.113.12 Driving away hostility, guarding truth, born of truth, bringing kindness and speaking honestly,Bearing good fortune and bringing the gods to the sacrifice, Dawn, shine here today at your best.

1.113.13 The goddess Dawn has always shone in the past, and today the generous one shines again.She will shine on future days too, ageless and immortal, following her own nature.

1.113.14 She has shone with heaven's bright ornaments and uncovered her divine form from darkness.Waking us with her red horses, Dawn comes in her well-harnessed chariot.

1.113.15 She brings desirable things that feed us and knowingly makes a bright sign.Among the Dawns gone by and those always shining, Dawn has appeared first.

1.113.16 Get up! Life has come to us. Darkness has gone away, and light is arriving.She has cleared a path for the sun to travel; we have reached the time when life is prolonged.

1.113.17 The singer raises his woven words, praising the shining Dawns.Generous Dawn, shine today for the singer; give us a long life with children.

1.113.18 May the man who presses soma enjoy those Dawns that rise for the worshiper with cattle and brave people,Giving horses and honest words that rise like the wind.

1.113.19 Mother of the gods, face of Aditi, great sign of sacrifice, shine out.Bring praise to our prayer and shine upon us; give birth to offspring among our people, desired by all.

1.113.20 Dawns, you bring wonderful, good work to the person who gives worship.May Mitra and Varuna, Aditi, the river, earth, and heaven support this for us.

1.114.2 Be kind to us, Rudra, and give us happiness; we honor you, ruler of strong men, with reverence.May we receive the peace and safety our father Manu sought, Rudra, through your guidance.

1.114.3 May worship win us your favor, generous Rudra, ruler of strong men.Come kindly among our people; may our men be unharmed as we offer you gifts.

1.114.4 We call for help on fierce Rudra, the quick, wise god who makes sacrifice succeed.Keep his divine anger far from us; we choose his favor.

1.114.5 We call respectfully on the red wild boar of heaven, braided-haired Rudra in his fierce form.He holds healing medicines in his hand; may he give us peace, protection, and shelter.

1.114.6 This word to the father of the Maruts is an offering sweeter than sweetness, to strengthen Rudra.Immortal one, give us food for mortals and be kind to me, my children, and their children.

1.114.7 Do not kill our grown people or our children, our growing young or our grown adults.Do not kill our father or mother, Rudra, or hurt our loved ones.

1.114.8 Do not hurt our children, descendants, lives, cattle, or horses.Do not kill our men in your anger, Rudra; we always call on you with offerings.

1.114.9 I have brought you praises like a shepherd gathering his flock; father of the Maruts, grant us favor.Your kind attention brings the most comfort; we ask for your help.

1.114.10 Keep your cattle-killing and people-killing force far away, ruler of strong men; let your favor be with us.Be kind, god, speak for us, and grant us shelter with your twofold strength.

1.114.11 Seeking help, we have spoken our respects to him; may Rudra with the Maruts hear our call.May Mitra and Varuna, Aditi, the river, earth, and heaven support this for us.

Hymn 1.115 — Seer: Kutsa Angirasa. Deity: Surya. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.115.1 The brilliant face of the gods has risen, the eye of Mitra, Varuna, and Agni.Surya has filled heaven, earth, and the space between: the life of all that moves and stands.

1.115.2 Surya follows the shining goddess Dawn as a young man follows a woman.There men who honor the gods spread out their ritual equipment, ready for good fortune.

1.115.3 Surya's fine bright horses, marvelous and worthy of praise,Have climbed heaven's back as if bowing in worship; at once they travel around heaven and earth.

1.115.4 This is Surya's divine power and greatness: in the middle of his task he draws back what was spread out.When he unharnesses his bright horses from their common station, Night spreads her clothing over all.

1.115.5 Under the gaze of Mitra and Varuna, Surya makes his form in heaven's lap.His horses carry one endless bright part of his strength and another dark part.

1.115.6 Gods, at today's sunrise, carry us out of trouble and wrongdoing.May Mitra and Varuna, Aditi, the river, earth, and heaven support this for us.

1.116.1 I spread out praises for the Ashvins as ritual grass is spread, and send hymns like wind driving clouds.For Vimada's share, you carried away his bride in your chariot, rushing through an army.

1.116.2 With hard wings or swift movement, or through the gods' urging, you strove to win.Your donkey, Ashvins, won the thousand in the contest for Yama's prize.

1.116.3 Tugra sent Bhujyu away into a watery cloud, as someone sends away a man who has used up his wealth.You carried him in ships with life in them, crossing the sky without taking on water.

1.116.4 For three nights and three days, Ashvins, you carried Bhujyu in your swift flying craft,Across the wet sea's dry expanse in three chariots with a hundred feet and six horses.

1.116.5 You showed your power in the sea, where there was nowhere to hold on or stand.Ashvins, you carried Bhujyu home as he boarded a ship with a hundred oars.

1.116.6 You gave Aghashva a white horse, Ashvins, to bring him lasting safety.This gift of yours became great and famous: Pedu's racing horse, always called for, eager to fight.

1.116.7 For Kakshivan of the Pajra family, who praised you, you dug out a store of riches.From the hoof of the strong horse you poured a hundred jars of liquor.

1.116.8 You kept off the burning heat with cold, and gave him nourishing food.Ashvins, you raised Atri and his whole group safely out of the pit of fire.

1.116.9 Ashvins, you turned a distant well upward and straightened its crooked opening.Its waters flowed for Gotama, thirsty for a drink, like a thousand treasures.

1.116.10 Ashvins, you stripped old age from Chyavana as though taking off a coat.You extended the abandoned man's life and made him the husband of young women.

1.116.11 This was your praiseworthy, effective protection, Ashvins:Knowing where he lay hidden like a treasure, you brought Vandana up for all to see.

1.116.12 I reveal your powerful deed for our gain, like thunder revealing rain.The Atharvan Dadhyanch spoke to you of honey through a horse's head.

1.116.13 Vadhrimati called upon you for help on your great journey, Ashvins, you who bring plenty.You heard her like a teacher and gave her Hiranyahasta, the golden-handed son.

1.116.14 Ashvins, you freed the quail from the wolf's mouth nearby.And, generous ones, you gave sight to the distressed poet.

1.116.15 Vishpala's leg was cut off like a bird's wing in Khela's nighttime contest.At once you fitted her with an iron leg to run when the prize was at stake.

1.116.16 Her father blinded Rijrashva when he had given a hundred sheep to the she-wolf.For him, Ashvins, skilled healers, you supplied eyes that could see, without defect.

1.116.17 Surya's daughter climbed onto your chariot as if winning a race of horses.All the gods agreed in their hearts, and you two joined her in beauty, Ashvins.

1.116.18 You came swiftly to help Divodasa and Bharadvaja, Ashvins.Your rich, loyal chariot carried you, with a bull and a dolphin harnessed to it.

1.116.19 Bringing wealth, good rule, fine children, long life, and brave people, Ashvins,You came with prizes to the like-minded daughter of Jahnu, giving her a share three times a day.

1.116.20 You carried Jahusha, surrounded on every side, through the night on easy roads in the sky.Ashvins, with your chariot that breaks through, you crossed the mountains without growing old.

1.116.21 In one night you helped Vasha win a thousand in battle, Ashvins.With Indra, you drove off the hostile forces from Prithushravas, strong ones.

1.116.22 You raised water from the depth of a shining spring for Shara to drink.And with your powers you filled an aging, barren cow with milk for Shayu, Ashvins.

1.116.23 For Krishniya who asked for help, praised you, and acted honestly, Ashvins,You gave Vishnapu back to Vishvaka to see, like an animal that had been lost.

1.116.24 For ten nights and nine days Rebha was bound in cruel conditions, broken in the water.You lifted him out of the deep water, as a ladle lifts soma.

1.116.25 I have told of your deeds, Ashvins. May I own good cattle and have strong sons.May I see, enjoy a long life, and come to old age as if coming home.

Hymn 1.117 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas and Ushij. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.117.1 The ancient priest invites you to enjoy the sweet soma, Ashvins.An offering on ritual grass and a spoken hymn are set out: come here with food and prizes.

1.117.2 Your well-horsed chariot, Ashvins, moves faster than thought toward the people.In the chariot that takes you to the good worshiper's home, come here to us, strong ones.

1.117.3 You freed the seer Atri, one of the five peoples, from danger and from the burning pit, with his group.You broke the tricks of the hostile Dasyu and led the way forward in order, strong ones.

1.117.4 Like a horse hidden by thieves, Ashvins, you found the seer Rebha in the waters.You brought him back from the flood by your skill; your earlier deeds never grow old.

1.117.5 As from ruin's lap a sleeping man, as from darkness the sun,As a shining gold ornament from the ground, Ashvins, you raised Vandana to be seen.

1.117.6 This deed of yours deserves praise from Kakshivan of the Pajra family, Ashvins who range everywhere:From the hoof of a strong horse you poured out a hundred jars of honey for the people.

1.117.7 For Krishniya who praised you, you gave Vishnapu back to Vishvaka.And to the aging Ghosha, who remained at her father's house, Ashvins, you gave a husband.

1.117.8 To Shyava you gave the bright woman for the great Kanva's sake, Ashvins.Your deed should be told: you gave honor to Narshada.

1.117.9 Taking many forms, Ashvins, you brought Pedu a fast horse,A runner winning thousands, unbeatable, killer of snakes, famous and overcoming enemies.

1.117.10 These are your famous deeds, generous ones; our prayer reaches the home of heaven and earth.When the Pajras call you, Ashvins, come with food and a prize for the wise worshiper.

1.117.11 Praised by Sunu's descendant, you opened up a prize for the inspired man in abundance.Strengthened by Agastya's prayer, Ashvins, you restored Vishpala.

1.117.12 Where were you, powerful grandsons of heaven, when you went to the poet's fine praise to help Shayu?On the tenth day you raised him, Ashvins, like a buried jar of gold.

1.117.13 With your powers, Ashvins, you made old Chyavana young again.Surya's daughter chose your chariot, along with its beauty, Ashvins.

1.117.14 You both came to Tugra with your ancient help, young again and forgiving.You carried Bhujyu out from the ocean on straight-winged, white horses.

1.117.15 Tugra's son called to you from the sea, carried far away but unafraid.You carried him home safely in your well-harnessed, mind-swift chariot, strong ones.

1.117.16 The quail called to you, Ashvins, and you freed her from the wolf's mouth.You passed over the mountain peak in victory and destroyed the creature born from poison.

1.117.17 His cruel father sent Rijrashva into darkness for giving a hundred sheep to the she-wolf.You put eyes in Rijrashva's head, Ashvins, and gave sight to the blind man.

1.117.18 The blind she-wolf called out to you, Ashvins, “Strong men, bring me help!”Rijrashva had given her one hundred and one sheep, like a young man courting a girl.

1.117.19 Your help, Ashvins, is great and brings joy; with your skill you restored the lame man.Then Purandhi called to you, strong ones; come to her with your help.

1.117.20 You filled the barren cow with milk for Shayu, though she had stopped giving any.With your powers you carried Vimada away with his bride, the daughter of Purumitra.

1.117.21 You sowed barley with a wolf and drew food for humans, Ashvins.You blew against the Dasyu with Bakura, and made broad daylight for the Arya.

1.117.22 You fitted a horse's head onto Dadhyanch the Atharvan, Ashvins.Through it he told you the honey of truth, the secret of Tvashtar that was yours, skilled ones.

1.117.23 Wise ones, I always seek your kindness; Ashvins, support all my prayers.Give us great, famous wealth that wins us descendants.

1.117.24 You gave Vadhrimati a son, Hiranyahasta, the golden-handed boy.Generous Ashvins, you restored Shyava to life when he had been cut in three.

1.117.25 People have spoken of these ancient acts of strength of yours, Ashvins.As we make prayers for you, strong ones, may we speak at the assembly with brave sons.

Hymn 1.118 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas and Ushij. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.118.1 Let your chariot come here, Ashvins, flying like a falcon, kind and powerful.It is faster than a person's thoughts, with three seats, strong ones, and as swift as wind.

1.118.2 Come here in your well-made three-seated, three-part, three-wheeled chariot.Fill our cows with milk, strengthen our horses, and make our sons strong, Ashvins.

1.118.3 As you travel in your fine chariot, skilled ones, listen to this song from the pressing stone.What would bring you back here most quickly? The ancient poets tell us, Ashvins.

1.118.4 Let fast, flying falcons harnessed to your chariot bring you here, Ashvins.Quick as heavenly birds, they carry you, Ashvins, toward the offering.

1.118.5 Surya's daughter, the young woman, gladly climbed onto your chariot here.Let your beautiful red flying horses carry you both here like birds.

1.118.6 By your skill you raised Vandana and Rebha, capable strong ones.You brought Tugra's son safely across the sea and made Chyavana young again.

1.118.7 For Atri fallen into the pit, Ashvins, you provided hot, nourishing food.You restored sight to Kanva when he was injured, gladly accepting his fine praise.

1.118.8 You filled the ancient cow with milk for Shayu when he needed it, Ashvins.You freed the quail from danger and fitted Vishpala with a new leg.

1.118.9 You gave Pedu the white horse urged on by Indra, a snake-killer.It wins when called to battle, fiercely overpowers enemies, gains thousands, and has strong limbs.

1.118.10 We call on you two well-born Ashvins, seeking good help.Come to us in your wealthy chariot, accepting our songs, for our well-being.

1.118.11 Come to us together, Ashvins, with a falcon's new speed.For I, Ratathavya, call you at the break of the most lasting Dawn.

Hymn 1.119 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas and Ushij. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Jagati.

1.119.1 For life I call your chariot, rich in devices, fast as thought, with swift horses, fit for worship.With a thousand signs, rich in forests and a hundred treasures, quick to hear, clearing our path to the offering.

1.119.2 At its departure our raised prayer has been placed among the directions with power.I taste the hot drink; help is coming. Mount your chariot, Ashvins, you who bring food.

1.119.3 When the eager contestants come together for a contest of beauty and strength,Your chariot is seen on the slope, Ashvins, when you carry the chosen bride away.

1.119.4 You carried Bhujyu home to his fathers on your well-harnessed birds when he was in distress.You traveled your victorious path, strong ones, and your great help was clear to Divodasa.

1.119.5 Your handsome chariot, Ashvins, has its horses yoked to it by the voices calling you to this task.The young woman came to you seeking marriage and friendship; she chose you as her husbands.

1.119.6 You saved Rebha from those who pressed around him and cooled Atri, who burned with heat, by cold.You filled Shayu's cow with milk and gave Vandana a long life to get through his troubles.

1.119.7 You put Vandana, worn out by old age, back together like a chariot, skilled ones.With clever planning you brought the poet out of the ground; your deeds have become known here to the worshiper.

1.119.8 You came to the distressed man far away, oppressed after his own father abandoned him.Your help then gave him bright victories filled with sunlight.

1.119.9 A honey-bearing bee also buzzed to you while Ushij's son called in the joy of soma.You won Dadhyanch's mind; then his horse's head spoke to you.

1.119.10 Ashvins, for Pedu you took care of the white horse, prized by many, a winner of races,Fast as an arrow, bright in battle, hard to overcome, repeatedly victorious like Indra among people.

Hymn 1.120 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas and Ushij. Deity: the Ashvins (verse 12: removal of a bad dream). Meter: Gayatri, with varied meters in verses 2–9.

1.120.1 What priest could satisfy you, Ashvins? Who would please you both?How can an unknowing person worship properly?

1.120.2 Only a knowing person should ask the knowing ones; an ignorant person would ask differently, without understanding.Even now, among mortals, I have done this.

1.120.3 I call upon you both as knowing ones; today, speak your wise thought to us.One who loves you sings out, longing to reach you.

1.120.4 I ask you skillful gods about the wonderful offering made with the ritual cry.Drink what is strong, and hold fast to us, you two.

1.120.5 Let the voice go forth, clear as the Bhrigus' song, with which the man of the Pajra family worships you.He knows how to send it out like a messenger.

1.120.6 Hear Takavan's Gayatri song: I too have called to you, Ashvins.Give me eyes, fine masters.

1.120.7 You two were there with great anger when you stretched it out.Be our good guardians, generous ones, and protect us from the harmful wolf.

1.120.8 Do not hand us over to anyone who is our enemy; do not let our cows go away from our homes.They feed at the udder, though they have no calves.

1.120.9 Let them give milk for friendship, for those who love you; measure out wealth and prizes for us.Measure out food and milk cows for us too.

1.120.10 I loosen the chariot of the two Ashvins, rich in prizes, though it has no horses.By that I have won a great deal.

1.120.11 Extend this over me, among all these people.The chariot rides easily toward the soma drink.

1.120.12 Then, to be rid of the dream and the wealthy one who did not enjoy his wealth,May both those things vanish, Basri.

Hymn 1.121 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas and Ushij. Deity: Indra or the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.121.1 When will the gods' vessel hear the songs of the Angirases who worship, as it hastens among men?When the god fit for worship reaches the people from his house, he strides broadly at the sacrifice.

1.121.2 He supported heaven and sprinkled the foundation; the skilled one gave the men the cow's wealth as a prize.The powerful bull watched the opening of his own birthplace, the woman and the horse's mother, the cow.

1.121.3 The first king heard the call of the red cows and of the Angirases' people day after day.He made the mace (the thunderbolt), harnessed his team, and upheld heaven for the four-footed and two-footed people.

1.121.4 In his exhilaration, for truth he gave sunlight and opened the hidden place of the cows.When he turned back the three-peaked mountain, he opened the doors against human treachery.

1.121.5 Your parents brought down milk for you, rich nourishment, strong one, as they hurried on.They offered you the pure gift, the milk of the ever-milking bright cow.

1.121.6 Then let the swift one be born and rejoice, shining like the sun at dawn.Pouring with the ladle, the soma gained the place of those whose offerings he enjoys, toward old age.

1.121.7 When the kindling and the woodcutter do their work and the sun goes around the cows' enclosure at the sacrifice,When you shine on the tasks day after day for the swift one, to feed and protect the people.

1.121.8 Harness your two bay horses here from great heaven, and fight for the spring that brings us glory.When they milk your exciting golden drink with stones for your growth, it rushes like the wind.

1.121.9 You turned back the cow's iron barrier and the stone from heaven brought near by the skillful one.Many-called Indra, winning for Kutsa, you pursued Shushna with endless blows.

1.121.10 Long before the sun sank into darkness, wielder of the stone, you broke his weapon.You took away the power Shushna had stored, strongly fastened up in heaven.

1.121.11 Heaven and earth moved in answer to your great strength and rejoiced in your deed, Indra.You killed Vritra lying in the streams, the great water-holding boar, with your mace.

1.121.12 Indra, you stood by the men you helped and rode the well-harnessed, wind-swift team.The mace that the poet Ushanas gave you to excite you, he shaped to kill Vritra and carry you across.

1.121.13 You stopped the sun's yellow horses, Indra, and brought his wheel to the men for Etasha.You threw ninety rivers across to the other side and cast the nonworshipers into the pit.

1.121.14 Indra with the mace, protect us nearby from this powerful evil and trouble.Give us prizes to feed us, with chariots and horses, and fame for honest speech.

1.121.15 May your goodwill not leave us; let the gifts gather, you who give great prizes.Generous Indra, give us a share of the cattle, and let us join your abundant feasts.

Hymn 1.122 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas and Ushij. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh; verses 5–6 Viraj variants.

1.122.1 Quick-tempered Maruts, drink the soma and bring sacrifice to generous Rudra.With his warriors I have praised heaven's powerful lord, as though the Maruts were arrows between heaven and earth.

1.122.2 Dawn and Night, like a wife answering the first summons, grow strong as they meet in many places.They wear a spread-out garment like a woman, beautiful with the sun's splendor and gold.

1.122.3 Let the lord who circles the earth and wears its goods delight in us; let the wind with its strong waters delight in us.Indra and the mountains, make us sharp; let all the gods make room for us.

1.122.4 Let those two drink when Ushij's son calls, for the glory of Shvetana.Bring forth for yourselves the child of the waters and the two mothers of the living Raspi.

1.122.5 I call your roaring one, Ushij's son, and reach Arjuna's praise as Ghosha does.I would speak of giving to Pushan and of Agni's generous wealth.

1.122.6 Mitra and Varuna, hear my summons and hear it from every side of the dwelling.Let the good listener, generous with gifts, hear us; let the Sindhu with its waters grant good land.

1.122.7 Mitra and Varuna, I praise your gift of a hundred cows and nourishment among the Pajras.At Shrutaratha and Priyaratha, those who offered them came at once, holding back their prosperity for us.

1.122.8 I praise this very generous man's gift; may we win brave people with Nahusha.That rich giver among the Pajras has given me horses and chariots and prizes.

1.122.9 The man who tries to deceive you, Mitra and Varuna, and pours no offering to you, dishonestly,Puts disease into his own heart, while the honest one comes to you with offerings.

1.122.10 Nahusha, driven to action and praised among men, overcomes those who hold him back.Free with his gifts and swift and strong, he is brave in every battle.

1.122.11 Let the kings hear the giver's call, immortal ones who bring joy.When Nahusha comes from heaven, his chariot-borne gift becomes famous through its size.

1.122.12 “Offer this strong group of that generous man,” they said, as I reached Dashataya's household.Their glorious gifts have brought wealth; may they all win the prize in competitions.

1.122.13 We rejoice at Dashataya's gift, as those carrying twice five portions of food go forth.Why do Ishtashva and Ishtarashmi, powerful winners, prepare the men?

1.122.14 A golden earring, a jeweled neckpiece, and a flood of riches: may all the gods make room for us.The worthy man's songs have come at once, and the cows have arrived for us both.

1.122.15 Four young horses came to me from Masharshara, three from the victorious king Ayavasa.Your chariot, Mitra and Varuna, with long shafts and reins in hand, shone like the sun.

Hymn 1.123 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas and Ushij. Deity: Ushas (Dawn). Meter: Trishtubh.

1.123.1 The broad chariot of generous Dawn was harnessed, and the immortal gods mounted it.The noble one rose out of darkness and went her separate way, caring for human homes.

1.123.2 She woke before every living thing, winning the prize, great and gaining riches.The young woman rose high and became visible again; Dawn came first when called before all others.

1.123.3 Goddess Dawn, when you share out today's portion among mortal men,May the god Savitar, master of the house, declare us innocent before the sun.

1.123.4 Day after day she visits every house and gives each day its name.Always coming with her light, she seeks riches and takes the first share of wealth.

1.123.5 Sister of Bhaga and kin of Varuna, Dawn, speak honestly first.Let the one who brings wrongdoing fall behind; may we beat him with our generous chariot.

1.123.6 Let honest words and abundance arise; let the blazing fires stand up.The shining Dawns uncover desirable treasures hidden by the darkness.

1.123.7 One day goes away and another comes; the two days move together in different forms.One hides the surrounding darkness; Dawn lights up the sky with her bright chariot.

1.123.8 The Dawns look alike today and tomorrow, following Varuna's long-lasting order.Each one, faultless, travels thirty distances on her course at once.

1.123.9 She knows the name of the day's beginning; shining white, she is born from the dark.The woman of the right order never breaks its law, returning day after day to her appointed place.

1.123.10 Goddess, you come showing your body like a young woman seeking the god she means to worship.Smiling, you show your breasts in front of us as you bring light.

1.123.11 Like a woman cleaned by her mother, you show your beautiful body to be seen.Good Dawn, spread your light farther; other Dawns cannot surpass you in this.

1.123.12 Dawns rich in horses and cows, wanted by everyone, striving with the sun's rays,Go away and come back again, bearing the name “good.”

1.123.13 Following the light of truth, give us good judgment in every way.Dawn, shine for us today when we call; let wealth come to us generous people.

Hymn 1.124 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas and Ushij. Deity: Ushas (Dawn). Meter: Trishtubh.

1.124.1 As Dawn shines and Agni is lit, the rising sun spreads its light far around.Here let Savitar send out all creatures, those with two feet and four, on their way.

1.124.2 Never breaking divine ordinances, but shortening human generations,Dawn shines, the last of the Dawns gone by and the first of those yet to come.

1.124.3 Heaven's daughter appears again, clothed in light, facing us in front.She follows the path of truth carefully and knowingly, without breaking its directions.

1.124.4 She appears like the breast of a young woman preparing herself, revealing her charms like someone who seeks praise.As though waking people who were asleep and ready to eat, she comes again, the most constant of those returning.

1.124.5 In the eastern half of the airy region, mother of the cows, she raised her sign.She spreads far and wide and fills both her parents' laps.

1.124.6 She makes herself visible to many, not favoring a stranger over a relative or a relative over a stranger.Shining with her flawless body, she avoids neither the little nor the great.

1.124.7 She comes toward men like a woman without a brother, or one climbing a chariot to get wealth.Like a wife dressing well to please her husband, Dawn smilingly shows her beauty.

1.124.8 The younger sister makes way for her older sister and leaves, as though seeing her come.Shining with the sun's rays, she puts on her colors like cattle coming together in the pen.

1.124.9 Of these sisters, these former days, each later one follows the earlier one.Let the newer Dawns, as in the old days, shine with prosperity and good days for us now.

1.124.10 Generous Dawn, wake the people who give; let the Panis, who have not woken, sleep on.Shine richly for the generous and bring riches for the singer, stirring honest speech.

1.124.11 This young woman has appeared in front with her horses; she harnesses the red team of cows.Now she shines as a sign, and Agni takes his place in every house.

1.124.12 The birds have flown up from their nests at your coming, and men have risen for their daily portions.Goddess Dawn, you bring many good things to the mortal who gives, even if he stays at home.

1.124.13 I have praised you with a hymn, Dawns worth praising; grow stronger for me, desirable ones.Through your help, goddesses, may we win prizes in the hundreds and thousands.

Hymn 1.125 — Seer: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas and Ushij. Deity: praise of Svanaya's gifts. Meter: Trishtubh; verses 4–5 Jagati.

1.125.1 The early visitor gives a treasure in the morning; the wise man receives and stores it.With it he raises children and extends his life, enjoying growing wealth and brave sons.

1.125.2 Indra gives good cattle, good gold, fine horses, and ample life to the manWho frees the early visitor who comes to him with wealth, like a wife untying her husband.

1.125.3 Come today in the morning to seek the good man's son, riding in a wealthy chariot for the offering.Give him the exciting pressed soma to drink, and increase the ruler's strength with honest words.

1.125.4 Rivers bringing joy flow to the man who has sacrificed or is about to, and cows come to him.Streams of melted butter flow from every side to the generous, famous man who feeds others.

1.125.5 The man who gives stands on the summit of heaven and goes among the gods.For him the rivers flow with melted butter; for him this gift keeps giving milk.

1.125.6 Those who give gifts have these splendid things, and suns in heaven belong to those who give gifts.Those who give gifts gain immortality and prolong their lives.

1.125.7 Let no giver suffer wrongdoing, and let generous men who keep their promises never grow old.Let another boundary enclose them; let grief overtake the one who does not give.

Hymn 1.126 — Seers: Kakshivan, son of Dirghatamas and Ushij (verses 1–5); Svanaya Bhavayavya (6); Romasha (7). Deity: Svanaya Bhavayavya (verses 1–5, 7); Romasha (6). Meter: Trishtubh; verses 6–7 Anushtubh.

1.126.1 I thoughtfully bring joyful hymns to Bhavya, who lives beside the Sindhu.That unbeaten king, seeking fame, measured out a thousand gifts for me at one time.

1.126.2 At once I took a hundred gold necklaces, a hundred fine horses, and a hundred cows from the king when I asked.Kakshivan spread the great man's undying fame through heaven.

1.126.3 Ten dark chariots carrying brides, given by Svanaya, stood near me.Sixty thousand cattle followed; Kakshivan gained them at the close of the day.

1.126.4 Forty red horses of Dasharatha lead the line ahead of a thousand.The Pajras who follow Kakshivan harnessed the lean horses that pour out excitement.

1.126.5 After the first gift I took three yoked horses and eight good, well-fed cows.The Pajras, good companions who sought fame, came without wagons like people traveling on foot.

1.126.6 She is held from behind and held all around; she makes a sound like a whip.That bold woman gives me a hundred pleasures to enjoy.

1.126.7 Come near me and touch me; do not think my small parts are insignificant.I am hairy all over, like a sheep from Gandhara.

Hymn 1.127 — Seer: Parucchepa, son of Divodasa. Deity: Agni. Meter: Atyashti; verse 6 Atidhriti.

1.127.1 I see Agni as priest, generous giver, treasure, son of strength, and wise knower of all births.He is a god stretching upward, doing the rite well and turning toward the gods.His flame follows the flash of melted butter as the offering is poured.

1.127.2 We who sacrifice call you with wise prayers, brightest priest, the foremost of the Angirases.You surround the world like heaven and serve as priest of people.You have hair of flame; may these peoples draw near the strong one and spur him on.

1.127.3 Glowing with his brilliant strength, he can break through even the strongest, like an ax.Even what is solid in his path, what stands firm as a forest, he hears and strikes.Overcoming it, he holds it down like a weapon that conquers a dry wilderness.

1.127.4 Even strong doors can be seen giving way to him; people honor Agni with the fiercest fire-sticks for help.He enters many places and cuts them with his flame as though cutting a forest.He takes apart even solid food with his strength, even the most solid things.

1.127.5 Let us put his food above, for at night he is more visible than during the day and never burns out.Then take hold of his life, as a son takes strong shelter.Everlasting fires go out to both offered and unoffered food as people seek help.

1.127.6 He roars loudly like a company of Maruts, flashing over productive fields and burning them.He receives the offerings, worthy sign of sacrifice.All men gladly follow his path as he leaps eagerly forward, as they follow the path of beauty.

1.127.7 When those who sing toward heaven, the Bhrigus, worshiped him, churning fire out of wood,Agni gained control of treasures, pure keeper of them.The wise one will win the hidden places he loves, will surely win them.

1.127.8 We call you lord of every people, common master of all households, for real enjoyment and the carrying of songs.You are the guest of human beings, and we eat from your mouth as from a father's.All the immortals come to the offering among the gods, and we too come to it.

1.127.9 Agni, you are born stronger than the strong, with the greatest force, for worship of the gods, like wealth for worship.Your exhilaration is most powerful, and your judgment brings the most glory.Therefore those who hear us attend you all around, deathless one.

1.127.10 Let praise rise to great Agni, waking at dawn, powerful and providing livestock.At every home the man with offerings calls upon him.He chants foremost like a singer, fast-moving priest of the sages.

1.127.11 Agni, appear near us and bring great wealth, joining the gods through wise thought.Strongest one, make us great for sight and for enjoying this wealth.Generous one, give the singers great strength and brave sons, forceful as a pounding mallet.

Hymn 1.128 — Seer: Parucchepa, son of Divodasa. Deity: Agni. Meter: Atyashti.

1.128.1 This Agni was born among humans, our best priest, following the worshipers' ordinance and his own ordinance.Everyone hears him; he seeks friends and honor like a rich man.The unfailing priest sat down in the place of refreshment, surrounded by it.

1.128.2 We urge him on to complete the sacrifice, with respectful offerings on the path of truth toward the gods.He brings us food with a form that never grows old.Matarishvan brought this god from far away for Manu; he brought his light from afar.

1.128.3 In this way he moves at once over the earth, repeatedly roaring like a bull releasing seed.The god looks out with a hundred eyes and conquers in the woods.Agni makes his home on the upper ridges, on the highest ridges.

1.128.4 Wise Agni, placed in front in every house, knows the rite and the sacrifice through his intelligence.With his thought the maker longs for food and watches all living creatures.He was born a guest, shining with melted butter, a wise carrier of offerings.

1.128.5 When his intelligence joins with his power, Agni's help is like the Maruts' toward food.He urges the giving of treasures through his greatness.He protects us from wrongdoing and from malicious attacks and accusations.

1.128.6 The friend of everyone put treasure in his right hand, swift and never losing the prize of fame.He aims at everyone to carry an offering to the gods.Agni opens the door to every good person, choosing it for him.

1.128.7 Agni has been set among people as the kindest one; at sacrifices he is loved like a victorious head of the clan.He rules the offerings people have prepared with praise.He protects us from the deceit of Varuna, the great god's deceit.

1.128.8 They praise Agni as priest and keeper of wealth, beloved, perceptive helper; they have set him to carry offerings.He is life to everyone, knows everything, a priest, honored poet.Gods desiring wealth have called that joyful one for help with joyful songs.

Hymn 1.129 — Seer: Parucchepa, son of Divodasa. Deity: Indra (verse 6: Soma). Meter: Atyashti; verses 8–9 Atishakvari; verse 11 Ashti.

1.129.1 Indra, you lead even a distant chariot toward winning wisdom, driving it on without fault.At once you put it under your protection and make it eager to win.Without fault, you have quickly accepted this prayer of us makers.

1.129.2 Hear us, Indra; in every battle you are the one men call for skill and a swift victory.With heroes you win sunlight; with poets you win prizes.As masters, men spur this winning champion on like a prize horse eager for food.

1.129.3 Wonderful hero, you make even dry skin swell and you guard a mortal, even an injured one.Indra, I say this to you, and to heaven and Rudra, famous in themselves.I say it openly to gracious Mitra and Varuna.

1.129.4 We want Indra as our friend for help: companion for all life, victorious helper in contests.Protect our prayer in every battle.No enemy defeats you; you lay low every enemy you face.

1.129.5 Put down anyone's ill will and hostility with your fiercest, most forceful help.Guide us as before, hero, and think us innocent.Carry us beyond all Purus' strongholds and bring us near, like a driver.

1.129.6 I want to speak to the thriving Soma, whose prayer shakes like the arrow of one called to battle, driving off evil.Let him himself defeat hostile thought with his weapons.Let the evil speaker flow down and away like something of no worth.

1.129.7 Through thoughtful worship let us win wealth, rich one, and delightful strength with brave sons.Let us meet bad thoughts with good thoughts and nourishing food.We call worshipful Indra here with true, glorious calls.

1.129.8 Indra, fill us with your own famous help, you who tear down circles of bad thoughts.Let the harm aimed at us bring ruin upon itself.Like a discarded, worn-out thing, may it not grow or speak again.

1.129.9 Indra, come to us with plentiful wealth by a safe, trouble-free road.Stay with us far from home and stay with us near home.Protect us from far and near with your help; always protect us.

1.129.10 Indra, carry us across with wealth; even when you are fierce, your greatness joins us for help like a great friend.Mighty immortal protector, save some chariot for us.Let anyone who wants to hurt us be hurt instead, wielder of the pressing stone.

1.129.11 Indra, praised well, protect us from deceivers and always keep the ill will of evil thinkers away.You kill the evil spirit and save the inspired man, including me.For your maker brought you into being to kill evil spirits, generous one.

Hymn 1.130 — Seer: Parucchepa, son of Divodasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Atyashti; verse 10 Trishtubh.

1.130.1 Come here to us from afar, Indra, like a good king visiting the meetings and coming home.We call you when the soma is pressed, bringing our offering.We call as sons call their father for prizes, the most generous father.

1.130.2 Drink the soma pressed with stones, Indra, poured from the vessel like water from a well to a thirsty bull.For your exhilaration and your great strength it has been prepared.Let your bay horses bring you here like the sun, as though bringing the whole sun.

1.130.3 He found heaven's secret store, hidden within the endless rock like an embryo in a bird's egg.Indra, the wielder of the mace, wanted the cows' enclosure for the Angirases.He opened the shut gates of food, the gates that had closed the food away.

1.130.4 Indra held the mace in his hands, sharpening it like a blade to strike and kill the serpent.You wrapped yourself in power and great strength, Indra.You cut down the forest tree like a carpenter, like an ax.

1.130.5 Indra, you let the rivers run freely to the sea like chariots racing for prizes.From here your help joined them in their never-ending common course.For Manu and the people, they yield all their milk like cows.

1.130.6 Seeking wealth, people crafted this prayer for you like a skillful carpenter making a chariot, for your favor.They dressed you for victory like an inspired man dressing a racehorse for a contest.Like a fast horse they prepared you to win strength and every kind of treasure.

1.130.7 Indra, you broke ninety fortresses for Puru and for generous Divodasa with your mace, champion of givers.For Atithigva, fierce one, you brought Shambara down from the mountain.With your strength you distributed great treasures, every kind of wealth.

1.130.8 Indra defended the Arya who sacrificed in every battle, giving a hundred kinds of help in fights for sunlight.For Manu he punished the lawless and brought dark skin under his control.Like a fire he burns up every thirsty, wounded enemy.

1.130.9 Born strong, the hero pulled away the wheel; at evening the red one steals away speech like one hungry for food.When the poet Ushanas came from far away to help,He won every favor, day after day, like a victorious man.

1.130.10 Breaker of fortresses, you whose work is strong, protect us with new hymns and effective guards.Praised by Divodasa's people, Indra, grow as heaven grows with each day.

Hymn 1.131 — Seer: Parucchepa, son of Divodasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Atyashti.

1.131.1 For Indra the powerful sky bends; for Indra the vast earth spreads in all directions, winning light.All the gods together have set Indra at their head.Let all human soma pressings be gifts to Indra.

1.131.2 At every pressing, separate groups seek you, the one strong bull, eager to win sunlight.We set you like a boat at the front of our strength to carry us across.People honor Indra with sacrifices and hymns.

1.131.3 The pairs seeking help scattered before you as you released the cattle from their enclosure, Indra.When you brought together two peoples seeking cows and sunlight,You revealed the roaring, powerful mace that stood with you.

1.131.4 The Purus know of this strength of yours: you overcame the autumn forts, Indra.Punish the mortal who does not sacrifice, Indra, lord of power.Rejoicing, you seized this great earth and these waters.

1.131.5 Men speak again of your strength and excitement, bull, when you helped the Ushijs seeking your friendship.You made it possible for them to move forward in battles.Seeking fame, they won one river after another.

1.131.6 Enjoy this dawn for us; wake to our song and to the calls that accompany offerings, for winning sunlight.When you consider killing our enemies, Indra, powerful wielder of the mace,Hear this newer prayer of mine, made with care.

1.131.7 Growing strong for us, Indra, brave one, strike with your mace the mortal who acts as our enemy.Kill the one who wishes us harm and listen, most famous one.Let every hostile thought leave us along the road of danger.

Hymn 1.132 — Seer: Parucchepa, son of Divodasa. Deity: Indra (first half of verse 6: Indra and the mountain). Meter: Atyashti.

1.132.1 With you defending us, generous Indra, may we overcome enemies in the ancient struggle for riches.On this very day, speak for the man who presses soma.At this sacrifice, seeking prizes, may we win the prepared share in battle.

1.132.2 In the struggle to win sunlight, in the words of one waking at dawn and doing his own work,Indra struck each head as he knew how, and each act deserves telling.May your good gifts come together toward us, good one's good gifts.

1.132.3 Your ancient, shining offering was made at that sacrifice where people chose a dwelling place of truth.Speak of that; then the people inside see by its rays.Indra is known as a seeker of cows among those who live with their kin.

1.132.4 What you did before is worth telling now: you opened the cow pen for the Angirases, Indra, giving it to them.Win and fight in this same direction for us too.Subject some lawless man, even an angry lawless man, to those who press soma.

1.132.5 When the brave one watches people with his thoughts in the struggle for wealth, those seeking fame overcome rivals.They honor him with strength so they may have life and children despite danger.Their thoughts settle on Indra like thoughts turned toward the gods.

1.132.6 You, Indra and the mountain, standing in front to fight, strike down with the mace anyone who attacks us.Even if he has gone far away and reached a deep hiding place,Hero, crush our enemies all around, from every side.

Hymn 1.133 — Seer: Parucchepa, son of Divodasa. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh; verses 2–4 Anushtubh; verse 5 Gayatri; verse 6 Dhriti; verse 7 Ashti.

1.133.1 I cleanse heaven and earth with truth and burn away deceitful enemies of Indra.The enemies who leapt up in attack lie crushed around Vailasthana.

1.133.2 Even the heads of the attacking sorceresses, wielder of the stone,Cut off with your great, heavy foot, your enormous foot.

1.133.3 Generous one, destroy the sorceresses' army there,In the ruins at Vailasthana, in the great ruins.

1.133.4 You swept away their fifty-three with their attackers.Let this be enough for you; indeed, let this be enough.

1.133.5 Indra, crush the demoness with reddish hair and bring her down.Drive out every evil spirit.

1.133.6 Indra, tear down the great barrier and hear us; heaven has flared, and earth shakes in fear, wielder of the stone.Most powerful, you advance with fierce weapons, force against force.Hero no killer of humans, undefeated, you advance with your thrice-seven companions.

1.133.7 The soma-presser gains a well-stocked home; pressing soma, he keeps the gods' enemies away with worship.The one who presses wants thousands of unblocked prizes.For the one who presses, Indra gives abundant wealth.

Hymn 1.134 — Seer: Parucchepa, son of Divodasa. Deity: Vayu. Meter: Atyashti; verse 6 Ashti.

1.134.1 Let your lively horses bring you here toward the offering, Vayu, to drink the soma first.Let honest speech rise to you, knowing your mind.Come in your chariot with its team, Vayu, to give us the generous sacrifice.

1.134.2 Let the exciting soma drops please you, Vayu, pressed well for us and turned toward heaven, mixed with milk.When the pressers join in skillful help to give,Your teams and their thoughts agree and call out to him.

1.134.3 Vayu harnesses his red and ruddy horses, putting the quick ones to the chariot's yoke to carry him.Wake abundance like a lover waking a woman from sleep.Reveal heaven and earth and clothe Dawn for fame.

1.134.4 For you the pure Dawns spread good garments far off, wonderful in their new rays.For you the cow that always gives milk yields every treasure.You generated the Maruts from the river channels, from heaven's channels.

1.134.5 For you the pure, bright, swiftly moving ones seek strong enjoyment in excitement and seek the waters' wealth.A man seeking good fortune praises you in the contest of speed.By your ordinance you protect all living things from the sun.

1.134.6 Vayu, you deserve the first drink of these pressed somas, something no one else has had.And you deserve that of all the many peoples who call you and turn to you.All your cows yield a mixture of milk and melted butter.

Hymn 1.135 — Seer: Parucchepa, son of Divodasa. Deity: Vayu (verses 1–3, 9); Indra and Vayu (4–8). Meter: Atyashti; verses 7–8 Ashti.

1.135.1 The ritual grass has been spread; come here to our feast with a thousand teams, and teams of hundreds.The gods have given you, a god, the first drink.The sweet pressed drinks stand ready for your joy and purpose.

1.135.2 This soma strained by stones flows around the vessel, dressed in desirable, shining color for you.This is your share: among people and gods, they call you to the soma.Bring your teams, Vayu, and come to us gladly.

1.135.3 Come with your teams in hundreds and thousands to our sacrifice to enjoy our offerings, Vayu.This is your share at the right time, with sunbeams beside the sun.The priests carried the bright drinks and held them out to you.

1.135.4 May your chariot with its team bring you both to help us and enjoy our well-prepared offerings, Vayu.Drink the sweet soma, since its first drink is set aside for you.Vayu, come with shining wealth, and Indra, come with wealth.

1.135.5 Our thoughts turned toward your sacrifice; the priests cleaned this soma drop, swift as a winning horse.Drink their soma with us; come here with help.Indra and Vayu, you two give prizes: enjoy what the stones have pressed.

1.135.6 Here are your somas pressed in water and offered by the priests, bright ones, Vayu.These swift drops have flowed through the filter for you,Longing for you as they pass through the hairs of sheep's wool.

1.135.7 Vayu, pass those sleeping on and come where the pressing stone speaks; come to the house with Indra.Honest speech appears, and melted butter flows; come together to the sacrifice with your whole team.

1.135.8 There you bring the sweet offering, where the winners stand near the fig tree; let those victors stand with us.The cows give birth together, the barley ripens; your milk cows never fail, Vayu.

1.135.9 These strong bulls of yours, Vayu, fly across the river, growing great.Some move through desert without food, others live quickly in the mountains.They are as hard to hold in the hands as the sun's rays.

1.136.1 Bring a great reverent offering and prayer to the two ancient highest ones, who show kindness and delight in sweetness.The two kings, offered melted butter, are praised at every sacrifice.No one can challenge their rule or their divinity even now.

1.136.2 A broader way has appeared for our journey: the path of truth joins the rays, Bhaga's eye and rays.It is the bright dwelling of Mitra, Aryaman, and Varuna.They grant a great life worth singing and praising.

1.136.3 Day after day you both sustain radiant Aditi and her land full of sunlight, staying alert.Adityas, lords of giving, you claim a radiant kingdom.Mitra, Varuna, and Aryaman govern the people.

1.136.4 This soma has become the most pleasant share in the drinking cups for Mitra and Varuna, the god's share among gods.May all the gods enjoy it together today.Let us ask the two kings to do so, guardians of the right order.

1.136.5 You protect the mortal who serves Mitra and Varuna and gives gifts from distress on every side.Aryaman protects the man who goes straight and follows the ordinance.He praises your ordinance with hymns and songs.

1.136.6 I pay respects to great heaven and to heaven and earth, and speak to generous, kindly Mitra and Varuna.Praise Indra and Agni, bright Aryaman and Bhaga.May we live long with children and have Soma's help.

1.139.3 People seeking the gods make you hear songs with hymns, Ashvins, and bring you offerings.All beauty and nourishment are yours, knowers of all things.The wheels of your golden chariot turn for you, skilled ones.

1.139.4 Your way has been shown; you opened the sky, skilled ones, and your chariot's team is harnessed for journeys to heaven.Let us sit in the seat of your golden chariot.Like guides on a road, direct the sky and guide us straight across it.

1.139.5 Rich in power, give us gifts day and night with your skills.Let your gift to us never end, never fail us.

Hymn 1.140 — Seer: Dirghatamas, son of Ucathya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Jagati; verses 10, 12–13 Trishtubh.

1.140.1 For Agni, who sits on the altar, loves his home, and shines brightly, bring a nourishing seat like food.Dress the pure, bright-colored, darkness-destroying chariot of light in prayer as though dressing it in cloth.

1.140.2 Born twice, he feeds on three kinds of food and grows again in the year after consuming it.The powerful bull conquers with one mouth and tongue and grazes the trees of the forest with the other.

1.140.3 His two companions with dark tracks tremble; the two mothers cross over toward their child.His tongue points forward; he rushes, moves fast, and grows for his father in the hollow.

1.140.4 The swift runners with dark furrows, keen to be released for humans,Unequal in strength but fast, set off at the wind's urging.

1.140.5 Then they rush about freely, making a great dark mass.As he touches the wide ground he moves along breathing hard, thundering and roaring.

1.140.6 He bows upon the brown plants, adorning himself, and goes to them roaring like a bull to his mates.Growing stronger, he decorates his body and rushes out fearfully like a creature with horns, hard to catch.

1.140.7 He takes hold of them as they spread and extend; ever present, he knows the ones that know him.They grow again and reach the goddess, and together give their parents a different shape.

1.140.8 The young, long-haired women called out to him, stood tall, then withered, but grew again for the human.He comes roaring, releasing them from age and bringing forth a life beyond, alive and unconquered.

1.140.9 Licking his mother's covering, he travels quickly with powerful companions.Giving life to things with feet and licking them, he always follows the hawk's tracks.

1.140.10 Agni, shine among our generous people, a strong bull breathing at home.Light up the women with children, wrapping around them like armor in battle.

1.140.11 Agni, let this well-prepared prayer please you more than one poorly made, even more than a cherished one.With the pure glow shining on your body, win treasure for us.

1.140.12 Give us, Agni, a ship for the chariot and our home, forever supplied with oars and able to travel.Let it carry across our heroes, generous people, and neighbors; let it bring shelter.

1.140.13 Agni, guard our hymn well; let heaven and earth and the rivers praise it.As they seek cattle, barley, and food for many days, let the red ones choose the best.

Hymn 1.141 — Seer: Dirghatamas, son of Ucathya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Jagati; verses 12–13 Trishtubh.

1.141.1 Surely the beautiful brightness of the god was made visible when the son of strength was born.When prayer turned to him and succeeded, the streams of truth led him along.

1.141.2 His nourishing, food-filled form always rests in the second place among his seven kindly mothers.The women bring forth a third form of this bull, with its tenfold reach, to yield milk.

1.141.3 When the powerful ones, masters of strength, brought him out from the base of the great bull's body,Matarishvan stirred him up from his hidden place with sweet drink from ancient days.

1.141.4 As he is taken from his father's highest place, he rises among food-rich plants.When both parents strengthened his birth, he became the swiftest and brightest, pure with heat.

1.141.5 Then he entered the mothers; unharmed, he grew widely within them.He mounted the old ones running from the beginning and now runs into the newer, younger ones.

1.141.6 Then they choose him as priest on their journeys to heaven and dress him as they would Bhaga.Much-praised one, by your great intelligence you reach the gods and mortal praise everywhere for food.

1.141.7 When the god stood up, driven by wind, his wandering flames moved like an unformed, aging voice.As his dark-footed, keen-eyed, pure-born fire flies, it clears a path through the air.

1.141.8 He goes to heaven like a chariot made by skilled hands, carried on his red limbs.Then even the wise dark ones fear the fierce fire of this hero.

1.141.9 Through you, Agni, Varuna keeps his ordinances, and Mitra and generous Aryaman achieve their aims.When you spread everywhere with your intelligence, you were born all-encompassing, like a wheel's rim.

1.141.10 Youngest Agni, you bring divine treasure to the man who presses soma and praises you.We young people now hold you, young son of strength, in our work as Bhaga, giver of great treasures.

1.141.11 Give us easy wealth at home, a share and lasting skill, as one gathers rays together.Wise one, you hold both births, the gods' praise and the truth.

1.141.12 May our shining priest with swift horses and bright chariot hear us with pleasure.Agni, wise one, guide us with the best guides toward good fortune and better wealth.

1.141.13 Agni has been praised with effective songs and given the power of a king.May he stretch across us generous people, like a sun rising above the clouds.

1.142.4 Praised Agni, bring splendid, beloved Indra here.My prayer addresses you, one with a fine tongue.

1.142.5 Spreading the ritual grass at the well-run sacrifice, with ladles ready,I spread the broadest divine shelter for Indra.

1.142.6 Let the great divine doors open wide for the gods to enter,Pure, much-desired doors that strengthen truth and never close.

1.142.7 Come near in beauty, shining Dawn and Night.Mighty mothers of truth, sit happily on the ritual grass.

1.142.8 Two divine, wise priests, with pleasant tongues and voices of praise,Carry out our sacrifice today, reaching heaven without delay.

1.142.9 Bharati, the pure voice of invocation among the gods and Maruts,Ila and great Sarasvati: let these goddesses sit on the ritual grass.

1.142.10 Let Tvashtar release that wondrous, abundant thing of many kinds for us,For growth and wealth, at the center, acting for our good.

1.142.11 Release the offering yourself, Vanaspati, and sacrifice to the gods.Wise Agni, the god among gods, prepares the offerings well.

1.142.12 Make an offering with the ritual cry to Indra with a singing voice,To him with Pushan and the Maruts and the All-Gods and Vayu.

1.142.13 Come to enjoy the offerings made with the ritual cry.Indra, come and hear the call: they summon you to the sacrifice.

Hymn 1.143 — Seer: Dirghatamas, son of Ucathya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Jagati; verse 8 Trishtubh.

1.143.1 I bring Agni, son of strength, a powerful new prayer of thoughtful words.The dear child of the waters sat on earth with the Vasus, a priest at the proper time.

1.143.2 When he was born in the highest sky, Agni appeared to Matarishvan.Through his wisdom and greatness, his kindled flames lit up heaven and earth.

1.143.3 His fierce, ageless flames are beautiful to see, this handsome one's bright lights.Agni, your unceasing, deathless fires shine through the night like rivers and move with force.

1.143.4 The Bhrigus set this knower of all things at the center of earth with the strength of the world.Urge Agni on with songs in your own house; alone he rules treasures like Varuna.

1.143.5 No one can block his sound, like the Maruts' roar, or an army let loose, or lightning from heaven.Agni eats with sharp jaws and cuts down woods like a fighter cutting down enemies.

1.143.6 Will Agni give us wealth, including brave men, as Ucathya wished? Will he satisfy our wish with the Vasus?Will his driving force push our thoughts toward victory? I praise his clean, bright face with this prayer.

1.143.7 When he is lit, people honor Agni, whose face shines with melted butter and who sits at the head of truth, like a friend.Kindled, unfailing, he shines in gatherings and sends out our bright thoughts.

1.143.8 Agni, without failing, protect us with unfailing, kind, effective guards.Surround and guard our people, beloved one, with watchful guards who cannot be deceived or overpowered.

Hymn 1.144 — Seer: Dirghatamas, son of Ucathya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Jagati.

1.144.1 The priest goes out to fulfill his ordinance by skill, holding his pure, beautiful thought high.He moves toward the ladles from the right, for they honor his first home.

1.144.2 The milkers of truth called to him, gathered around in the god's own dwelling.When he settled in the lap of the waters, he drank the food that lets him move.

1.144.3 He and his two companions of the same age want that same form and move toward the same goal together.Then he, welcome like Bhaga, brought us together like a driver bringing horses to the reins.

1.144.4 The two companions of his age serve him together in one birthplace and one home.Day and night the gray-haired one is born young, living without aging through many human generations.

1.144.5 Ten fingers set him going; we mortals call the god for help.He runs from the slope of a bow, renewed by those who advance with him.

1.144.6 Agni, you rule heaven and earth yourself, like a shepherd over his flock.These two great, shining, golden voices of yours seek the ritual grass.

1.144.7 Agni, welcome and enjoy this speech, joyful, self-sustaining one, born from truth, with good judgment.You face every direction, beautiful to see, a pleasure to meet, like a home full of food.

Hymn 1.145 — Seer: Dirghatamas, son of Ucathya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Jagati; verse 5 Trishtubh.

1.145.1 Ask him: he has come, he knows, and he goes knowingly to her, and she goes to him.Instructions and offerings are in him; he is master of the prize, force, and strength.

1.145.2 People question him, but he does not question everyone when he grasps things with his own wise mind.He does not reject either the first or last word; he follows it with his intelligence, without pride.

1.145.3 The pouring ladles and the horses come to him; let him alone hear all my words.Often sent and carrying us across, he completes sacrifice; the child with unbroken help takes up his work.

1.145.4 He walks close by when they have met; newly born, he swiftly moves with those harnessed to him.He touches the panting one with pleasure and joy when the eager women come near him.

1.145.5 He is a beast belonging to the waters, a forest wanderer set beneath the skin above it.Wise Agni has shown mortals his ways: he knows the right order and is true.

Hymn 1.146 — Seer: Dirghatamas, son of Ucathya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.146.1 I praise three-headed Agni with seven rays, entire, resting in his parents' lap.He sits within what moves and stands still, filling all heaven's bright regions.

1.146.2 A great bull has grown to reach these two; ageless, noble, and helped from here, he has stood firm.He places his tracks on the wide heights, and his red ones lick his udder.

1.146.3 The two fine cows move together toward the same calf, though they roam in different directions.They measure out paths without turning back and set all signs upon the great one.

1.146.4 The wise poets lead us to his place, guarding the ageless one with different thoughts.Seeking to win, they saw the river all around, and he appeared to them like the sun to men.

1.146.5 He is worth seeing, victorious all around, and worth praising, great for a child's life.When the generous one appeared in many places, bright as the sun, all the young could see him.

Hymn 1.147 — Seer: Dirghatamas, son of Ucathya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.147.1 Agni, how did the bright people give to you, hoping for prizes,When the gods, placing both child and descendant in your care, rejoiced in the song of truth?

1.147.2 Youngest one, notice this speech of mine, the most generous offering, self-sustaining one.Someone follows you to harm you and someone praises you; I honor your body, Agni.

1.147.3 Agni, your watchful guardians saw and protected blind Mamataya from wrongdoing.Knower of all, guard these good people; the enemies who wanted to deceive them did not succeed.

1.147.4 Agni, if a man with no gifts and harmful intentions tries to hurt us with falsehood, like an enemy,Let a strong curse return to him, and let his own bad words touch his body.

1.147.5 Or if a mortal knowingly hurts another mortal with lies, strong one,Protect the praising worshiper from him, Agni; do not let anyone set us on a path to evil.

Hymn 1.148 — Seer: Dirghatamas, son of Ucathya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.148.1 When Matarishvan, summoned, churned him out, he became priest for all peoples and all gods.People set him among the human clans, bright and splendid like sunlight.

1.148.2 The one who gives, not one who tricks us, delighted my thought; I want Agni's protection.He welcomes all the acts of the singer who brings praise to him.

1.148.3 Even in his lasting dwelling the worshipers grasped him and placed him there with praise.They led him out and took hold of him for the offering, as horses eager for the chariot.

1.148.4 The wonderful one crushes many things with his jaws and shines through the woods.The wind blows his flame onward, like an archer's arrow, day after day.

1.148.5 Enemies and those who seek harm cannot hurt him when he lies as an embryo.The blind and sightless cannot deceive him by looking; his constant guardians protect him.

Hymn 1.149 — Seer: Dirghatamas, son of Ucathya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Viraj.

1.149.1 This great one seeks wealth, a master who gives food, moving toward the place of the strong one's treasure.The stones shake as they come close to him.

1.149.2 He is the bull between heaven and earth, like a man, giving life with his streams of praise.Pouring out, he rests in his birthplace.

1.149.3 The poet lights up the city like an attacking army; he is like a running horse.Shining like the sun, he has a hundred forms.

1.149.4 Born twice, he stands shining over the three realms of light and all the skies.The best priest is in the waters' meeting place.

1.149.5 This twice-born priest placed every desirable thing in the hands of the man who generously gave to him.

Hymn 1.150 — Seer: Dirghatamas, son of Ucathya. Deity: Agni. Meter: Ushnih.

1.150.1 Many a generous giver and a friend speaks of you, Agni, and belongs to you.He seeks shelter from your great power as from a sharp prod.

1.150.2 Drive away the rich man's hoarded wealth and the one who withholds an offering,Whenever a godless man goes out against us.

1.150.3 That brilliant mortal poet grows very great in heaven.May we become your most enduring friends, Agni.

Hymn 1.151 — Seer: Dirghatamas, son of Ucathya. Deity: Mitra (verse 1); Mitra and Varuna (verses 2–9). Meter: Jagati.

1.151.1 Those who seek cows, skilled people at the gathering, brought him forth with their work among cattle and waters, like Mitra.Heaven and earth shook at his powerful song when he came toward the beloved god, helping those born.

1.151.2 For Purumilha, who presses soma, your friends brought that offering forward as their own, Mitra and Varuna.Then recognize his purpose, show him a way, and listen to the strong one who lives at home.

1.151.3 The peoples honor your famous birth between heaven and earth for your great skill, strong ones.When you bring it for truth and for the traveler, you share in sacrifice through the priest's work.

1.151.4 The great nation you love goes forward, mighty lords; you proclaim great truth.You yoke the force of the vast heaven to the waters like a cow to a carrying yoke.

1.151.5 Here through your greatness you open the great gate; your dust-free cows rush home.They call out near the setting sun, as Dawns call at the close of their journey.

1.151.6 The long-haired women called to you for truth where you make a path, Mitra and Varuna.Release the thoughts yourself and let them flow; you both shine through the poet's prayer.

1.151.7 The poet-priest who honors you with sacrifices and gives offerings makes his prayer work.Go to him and share his sacrifice; come to us in response to our songs and with kind thoughts.

1.151.8 With sacrifices and cows people first honor you two guardians of truth, directing their minds toward you.They bring you well-controlled songs in prayer; without pride you claim prosperity in your thoughts.

1.151.9 You give rich life and enjoy rich rewards, using your powers to give great help from here.Heaven cannot reach your divine power with its days, nor can rivers or the Panis reach your generosity.

Hymn 1.152 — Seer: Dirghatamas, son of Ucathya. Deity: Mitra and Varuna. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.152.1 You wear full garments; your streams of thought have no breaks.You have overcome all falsehoods and hold to truth, Mitra and Varuna.

1.152.2 One of them has understood even this: the true, straight prayer praised by poets.The powerful four-cornered one strikes the three-cornered; those who hate the gods were the first to age.

1.152.3 The one without feet goes first among those with feet; who knows this of you, Mitra and Varuna?The unborn child carries his burden, upholding truth and bringing down falsehood.

1.152.4 We see the young women's lover pass by, but not approach them.He wears a seamless, outspread garment, the dear dwelling of Mitra and Varuna.

1.152.5 He is born a horse without horses or reins, neighing as he flies up to the high ridge.The young ones welcome the unthinking prayer, praising the home of Mitra and Varuna.

1.152.6 May the cows, bringing help, fill Mamataya, who loves prayer, with milk from their udders.Knowing their ways, let him beg food and protect Aditi like a traveler seeking shelter.

1.152.7 Mitra and Varuna, with reverence may I turn you toward accepting offerings and giving help.Let our prayer win in battle and let our heavenly rain carry us safely across.

Hymn 1.153 — Seer: Dirghatamas, son of Ucathya. Deity: Mitra and Varuna. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.153.1 We worship you together with great offerings and respect, Mitra and Varuna.The priests bring you gifts of melted butter, using thoughts as their instruments.

1.153.2 Our praise is sent out to your home as our well-directed song, Mitra and Varuna.The priest anoints you at gatherings when the generous man seeks your favor, strong ones.

1.153.3 Aditi, the cow, has filled herself with milk for the people of truth, who bring you offerings, Mitra and Varuna.When the man who gives offerings honors you in the gathering, he urges you on like a human priest.

1.153.4 And among the peoples, the exciting soma, the cows, and divine waters make you grow.Also let our ancient lord give us his favor; drink the milk of the bright cow.

Hymn 1.154 — Seer: Dirghatamas, son of Ucathya. Deity: Vishnu. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.154.1 Now I will tell of Vishnu's mighty deeds: he measured the earthly realms.He held up the upper dwelling place as he, the wide-ranging one, strode out in three steps.

1.154.2 For this Vishnu is praised for his strength, like a fearsome wild animal living in the mountains.All living worlds dwell within his three wide strides.

1.154.3 Let my powerful prayer go to Vishnu, the strong one who lives in the mountains and ranges widely.Alone, with only three steps, he measured this long, far-reaching common dwelling.

1.154.4 His three steps, filled with honey, delight without failing by their own nature.Alone he holds up the threefold earth and heaven and all living things.

1.154.5 May I reach his beloved path where men eager for the gods rejoice.For in the highest step of wide-ranging Vishnu is a spring of honey, a place of kinship.

1.154.6 We want to reach your dwellings, where the many-horned cattle roam.There the strong, wide-ranging one's highest step shines out everywhere.

Hymn 1.155 — Seer: Dirghatamas, son of Ucathya. Deity: Vishnu; verses 1–3 Indra and Vishnu. Meter: Jagati.

1.155.1 Drink the soma, and sing thoughtfully to the great hero Vishnu.The two stand firm on the mountains' heights like excellent horses, safe from harm.

1.155.2 This fierce, hardworking pair, Indra and Vishnu, save your pressed drink in battle.For a mortal you save the fire from the blazing arrow aimed against him.

1.155.3 They increase his great strength; the mother leads him down to the seed and its enjoyment.The son places his father's lower and higher names, and a third in heaven's light.

1.155.4 We praise these deeds of the protector, the harmless and generous lord.With three strides he crossed the earthly realms for wide-ranging life.

1.155.5 A mortal struggling to see sunlight can look at two of his strides.No one reaches his third, not even the winged birds in flight.

1.155.6 With ninety-four names together, he set the turning wheel moving like a circle.Great-bodied and praised by hymns, he comes as a youth to the call.

Hymn 1.156 — Seer: Dirghatamas, son of Ucathya. Deity: Vishnu. Meter: Jagati.

1.156.1 Be kind like Mitra, bringing melted butter, with bright, spreading fame wherever you go.Then even a man who knows you, Vishnu, must honor your hymn and sacrifice with offerings.

1.156.2 Whoever gives to Vishnu, the ancient yet new maker with a good birth,And speaks of his great origin and greatness, gains the fame of close companions.

1.156.3 Singers, support this ancient one as you know him, born as the child of truth.Know his name and speak it; great Vishnu, may we share your good favor.

1.156.4 King Varuna and the Ashvins join the skill of this maker of the Maruts.Vishnu supports the highest skill, knows the day, and as a friend opens the cow pen.

1.156.5 Vishnu, who works better than other workers, joined the divine gathering for Indra.From his three places the maker strengthened the Arya and gave the worshiper a share of truth.

Hymn 1.157 — Seer: Dirghatamas, son of Ucathya. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Jagati; verses 5–6 Trishtubh.

1.157.1 Agni has woken on earth, the sun rises, and beautiful Dawn lights up widely with her brightness.The Ashvins have harnessed their chariot for travel; Savitar sends all moving things their separate ways.

1.157.2 When you harness your strong chariot, Ashvins, water our rule with melted butter and honey.Strengthen our prayer in battles, so we may share the riches won by heroes.

1.157.3 May the Ashvins' well-praised three-wheeled, honey-carrying chariot come near with its fast horses.With three seats, generous and full of all good luck, may it bring peace to our people and animals.

1.157.4 Bring us food, Ashvins, and pour your sweet whip's goodness over us.Lengthen our lives, wipe away our faults, drive away hostility, and stay at our side.

1.157.5 You place the embryo in living creatures and are inside every world.Strong Ashvins, you stir Agni, the waters, and the trees.

1.157.6 You are healers with your medicines, and charioteers with your chariots.Powerful ones, you give rule to the man who offers you gifts with a willing mind.

Hymn 1.158 — Seer: Dirghatamas, son of Ucathya. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Trishtubh; verse 6 Anushtubh.

1.158.1 Generous ones, sons of Rudra, wise and growing strong, give us your help, strong ones.Skillful ones, when you accepted gifts from Ucathya's son, you rushed out with welcome help.

1.158.2 Who gives to you for this favor, generous ones, when you stand respectfully in the cow's place?Awaken rich thoughts for us, traveling with minds eager to fulfill our wishes.

1.158.3 When your ferry for Tugra's son was harnessed and the Pajra was set in the middle of the sea,Let me come to your shelter and help, like a hero racing swiftly with flying support.

1.158.4 May praise protect Ucathya's son; let neither of those two winged creatures drain me.Let the fire of Dashataya's firewood not burn me when the bound man eats the ground for himself.

1.158.5 May the rivers, greatest of mothers, not swallow me when the Dasas threw me into them, bound tight.When Traitana cut at his head, that Dasa himself struck his own chest and shoulders.

1.158.6 Dirghatamas, son of Mamata, has grown old in the tenth age.He becomes a priest guiding those who go to the waters' goal.

Hymn 1.159 — Seer: Dirghatamas, son of Ucathya. Deity: heaven and earth. Meter: Jagati.

1.159.1 With sacrifice I praise mighty heaven and earth in gatherings, wise supporters of truth.These divine parents, skilled beside the gods, prepare gifts worth having through their thought.

1.159.2 Through offerings I also consider the father's faithful mind and the mother's own great power.These fertile parents made a wide, immortal world for their children.

1.159.3 Their sons, skillful and capable, were born from their great mother for ancient understanding.The parents upheld a true home for things still and moving, and a safe place for their honest son.

1.159.4 These wise creators made two kin of the same origin, a pair sharing a home.These poets with good thoughts weave a new thread again and again in heaven and within the sea.

1.159.5 Today we look for Savitar's desirable gift, at the god's command.Heaven and earth, wisely give us wealthy riches and a hundred cows.

Hymn 1.160 — Seer: Dirghatamas, son of Ucathya. Deity: heaven and earth. Meter: Jagati.

1.160.1 Heaven and earth bring good to everyone and sustain truth; the wise pair hold the space between.The well-born, thinking pair have the pure god Surya traveling between them according to divine law.

1.160.2 Wide-reaching and great, the endless father and mother protect living things.Heaven and earth are fine strong bodies; the father clothed them in forms.

1.160.3 Their son, the carrier of offerings, cleanses the worlds through his skill, possessing a filter.The speckled cow and the fertile bull yield him bright milk every day.

1.160.4 He was the most hardworking of the working gods and gave birth to heaven and earth, which bring good to all.Skillfully he measured the two realms and held them in place with supports that do not age.

1.160.5 Great heaven and earth, as we praise you, give us great fame and broad rule.Let us spread it among the peoples; grant us strength worth praising for all time.

Hymn 1.161 — Seer: Dirghatamas, son of Ucathya. Deity: the Ribhus. Meter: Jagati; verse 14 Trishtubh.

1.161.1 “Who is the oldest or youngest of us? Who came here, and why has he come as messenger? What did we say?We did not criticize the great family's cup. Brother Agni, we spoke about how wood grows.”

1.161.2 “Make one cup into four: that is what the gods told you, and why I came to you.Sons of Sudhanvan, if you do this, you will be fit for sacrifice along with the gods.”

1.161.3 You told Agni the messenger, “There is a horse to make, and a chariot to make here.We must make a cow and make two old people young. Brother, we will carry out those tasks too.”

1.161.4 Having done this, the Ribhus asked, “Where did the messenger who came to us go?”When he saw that they had made the cup into four, Tvashtar hid among the women.

1.161.5 Tvashtar said, “Let us kill the men who criticized the cup from which the gods drink.”They take other names at the soma pressing, and the girl calls them by other names.

1.161.6 Indra yoked his bay horses; the Ashvins yoked their chariot; Brihaspati brought the many-colored cow close.Ribhu, Vibhvan, and Vaja went to the gods: skilled ones, you received your share of worship.

1.161.7 You freed the cow from its hide by your thought and made your aging parents young.Sons of Sudhanvan, you carved a horse from a horse and came to the gods in the yoked chariot.

1.161.8 You said, “Drink this water, or drink what has been strained through munja grass.”Sons of Sudhanvan, if neither pleases you, rejoice at the third soma pressing.

1.161.9 One said, “Water is greatest”; another said, “Agni is greatest.”One spoke about the weapon to many others; speaking the truth, they decorated the cups.

1.161.10 One makes a lame cow run to water; one carves meat brought on a spit.One carries dung away at sunset. What help did the parents give their sons?

1.161.11 You made grass grow for him in the high places, and waters in the low places through your skill, men.What was in Agohya's home, Ribhus, you do not go after today.

1.161.12 When you shut your eyes and walked around the worlds, where were your father and mother?You cursed the one who took your hand; speak to the one who spoke out.

1.161.13 After sleeping, the Ribhus asked, “Agohya, who woke us?”“The goat spoke to the dog, your waker. Today the year has been made clear.”

1.161.14 By day the Maruts travel, Agni travels over earth, and this wind travels through the middle sky.Varuna travels with waters across oceans, while we seek you, sons of strength.

Hymn 1.162 — Seer: Dirghatamas, son of Ucathya. Deity: the horse. Meter: Trishtubh; verses 3, 6 Jagati.

1.162.1 Let Mitra, Varuna, Aryaman, Ayu, Indra, the Ribhus, and the Maruts not reproach usWhen we tell the assembled people of the strength of this god-born racing horse.

1.162.2 They lead the gift at the front, covered with rich decoration.The goat goes happily, bleating and marked with many colors, toward Indra and Pushan's cherished share.

1.162.3 This goat, Pushan's share, leads the winning horse to all the gods.When the horse follows the beloved offering cake, Tvashtar urges him toward good fame.

1.162.4 When people lead the sacrificial horse around three times in the proper season on his journey to the gods,The goat brings Pushan's portion first, telling the gods about the sacrifice.

1.162.5 Priest, serving priest, kindler of Agni, holder of the pressing stone, and wise singer,With this well-made and well-offered sacrifice fill your stomachs.

1.162.6 Let our praise encourage those who cut and carry the sacrificial post, and those who carve the cap for the horse's post,And those who prepare the cooking place for the horse.

1.162.7 He has come near; my prayer has been accepted, and the gods' wish follows the horse with a band on its back.The poets and seers rejoice after him; we have made a good friend for the gods' nourishment.

1.162.8 The prize horse's halter, the horse's binding cord, his head-strap and rope,And the grass brought to his mouth: let all of these be with you among the gods.

1.162.9 What a fly has eaten from the horse's flesh, or what sticks to the post or knife,Or to the slaughterer's hands and nails: let all of these be with you among the gods.

1.162.10 What blows out of his belly and the smell of raw flesh:Let the workers take good care of these, and cook the sacrifice until it is done.

1.162.11 What runs from your body, put on the spit, as the fire cooks you,Let it not stick to earth or grass, but be given to the gods who desire it.

1.162.12 Those who watch the cooked horse, those who say, “Take away the fragrant meat,”And those who wait to receive the horse's flesh: let our praise help them as well.

1.162.13 The testing fork for the pot where the meat is cooked, the vessels for pouring broth,The covers of the hot pots and the marks of the chopping block adorn the horse.

1.162.14 Every step, resting place, turning, and restraint of the horse,And what he drank and what he ate: let all of these be with you among the gods.

1.162.15 Let no smoky fire make you roar and let no shining cooking vessel scorch you.The gods receive the horse offered, enjoyed, praised, and given with the ritual cry.

1.162.16 The cloth they spread under the horse, his covering, and the gold ornaments,The binding cord and leg restraints that held him: they send these cherished things to the gods.

1.162.17 When a heel or whip struck you in your great rush as a rider drove you,I make every one of those blows good with prayer, like offerings poured from a ladle at sacrifices.

1.162.18 The knife goes through the thirty-four ribs of the god-bound horse.Make his limbs whole, and cut them apart joint by joint, calling each one by name.

1.162.19 One cuts Tvashtar's horse, and two guide him, as is proper for the season.The portions I cut from your limbs in their proper season I offer as pieces in the fire.

1.162.20 Let your beloved spirit not be troubled as it goes, and let the knife not remain in your body.Let no greedy, unskilled man miss the joints and make ragged cuts with his sword.

1.162.21 You do not really die or come to harm: you travel to the gods by easy roads.Indra's two bay horses and the spotted team are yoked to you; the horse takes the donkey's place at the yoke.

1.162.22 Let the horse win us good cattle and horses, sons and riches that feed everyone.May Aditi keep us innocent; may the offered horse win us power.

Hymn 1.163 — Seer: Dirghatamas, son of Ucathya. Deity: the horse. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.163.1 When you cried out as you were first born, rising from the sea or from the earth,You had a falcon's wings and a deer's legs; great and worthy of praise was your birth, horse.

1.163.2 Yama gave him; Trita harnessed him; Indra first rode him.The Gandharva grasped his reins; the Vasus shaped the horse out of the sun.

1.163.3 You are Yama and you are Aditya, horse; you are Trita by a secret ordinance.You are joined with Soma; they say you have three bindings in heaven.

1.163.4 They say you have three bindings in heaven, three in the waters, and three within the sea.And Varuna has shown me the place they call your highest birthplace, horse.

1.163.5 Here are your washing places, racing horse, and here are the places for your winning hooves.Here I saw your fine reins, guarded by keepers of the right order.

1.163.6 I know your spirit in my mind as a bird flying down from heaven.I saw your head rushing along clear, dustless roads, winged one.

1.163.7 Here I saw your highest form, seeking food where the cow sets her feet.When a mortal received his share of you, you ate the plants with great appetite.

1.163.8 The chariot follows you, horse, and the man follows, as do the cows and the young women's good fortune.The companies seek your friendship, and the gods have measured your strength.

1.163.9 His horns are gold, his feet are iron, and Indra was first to ride the one swift as thought.The gods have come today for the offering of the horse first ridden by him.

1.163.10 The heavenly horses, slender at the waist and muscular at the chest, move together.They run in rows like swans when the horses reach heaven's racetrack.

1.163.11 Your body is made for flight, horse; your mind races like the wind.Your horns branch widely; they move, stirring, through forests in many places.

1.163.12 The prize horse comes near for slaughter, with his mind set on the gods.The goat is led before him as his center, and the singing poets follow behind.

1.163.13 The horse has come to the highest meeting place, close to his father and mother.Let him go today as the gods' most welcome guest and announce good things to the giver.

Hymn 1.164 — Seer: Dirghatamas, son of Ucathya. Deity: the All-Gods (verses 1–41); Speech, waters, fire, Soma, Agni, Surya, Vayu, the year, Sarasvati, the Sadhyas, and Sarasvan or Surya (verses 42–52). Meter: Trishtubh, with variations.

1.164.1 This good gray-haired priest has a middle brother who eats.His third brother has a back shining with melted butter; I saw here a clan leader with seven sons.

1.164.2 Seven harness the one-wheeled chariot; one horse with seven names draws it.Its wheel has three hubs, never ages or wears away; all living things rest on it.

1.164.3 Seven stand on this chariot, and seven horses draw its seven wheels.Seven sisters call together around it, where the seven names of the cows are stored.

1.164.4 Who saw the first-born when a boneless one supported one with bones?Where are earth's life and blood? Who will approach the wise person to ask this?

1.164.5 Without understanding, I ask in my mind, like a child: here the gods' steps are hidden.The poets stretched seven threads over the year-old calf to weave with.

1.164.6 Not knowing, I ask the knowing poets here to learn, without claiming to know:Who supported these six realms? Is there one thing in the form of the unborn?

1.164.7 Let whoever knows speak here about this good bird's hidden place.The cows milk from his head; dressed in a covering, they drink water with their feet.

1.164.8 The mother shared with the father in keeping with truth; at first they came together in thought and mind.She was pierced by the embryo's juice, afraid; reverent people came to speak with her.

1.164.9 The mother was yoked to the right-hand shaft, and the unborn child stood within the people's ranks.The calf bellowed after seeing the cow in many forms across three stretches.

1.164.10 One, bearing three mothers and three fathers, stood upright; they do not wear him down.On the back of heaven they speak of all-knowing speech, though it does not reach everything.

1.164.11 The wheel of truth has twelve spokes and turns around heaven without aging.On it, Agni, stand seven hundred and twenty paired sons.

1.164.12 They call the father five-footed and twelve-formed, full of water in the far half of heaven.Others call him farsighted and fixed on the upper wheel of seven parts and six spokes.

1.164.13 All the worlds rest in the turning wheel of five spokes.Though it carries so much, its axle does not heat up and its hub has not broken since ancient times.

1.164.14 The wheel, with its rim unchanged, turns without aging; ten horses yoked to it draw it across the upturned earth.The sun's eye moves covered by the sky; all the worlds are fixed within it.

1.164.15 Of the seven born together, they say the seventh was born alone; six are twin seers born of gods.Their appointed places are laid out one by one; fixed in place, they move and take on different forms.

1.164.16 Though they are women, people call them men; the man with eyes sees, but the blind man does not understand.The poet who is their son knows them; the one who knows them becomes his father's father.

1.164.17 Above what is lower and below what is higher, the cow has risen with her calf beneath her feet.Which way has she gone, toward which half? Where does she give birth? Not within the herd.

1.164.18 Who knows her father above what is below, and below what is above?Who here is enough of a poet to tell where the divine mind was born?

1.164.19 Those going toward us are called going away, and those going away are called coming toward us.Indra and Soma, what you made carries the realms of air like oxen yoked to the shaft.

1.164.20 Two beautiful birds, companions and friends, cling to the same tree.One eats its sweet fruit; the other does not eat, but only watches.

1.164.21 Where beautiful birds sing without blinking about their share of immortality at gatherings,There the powerful guardian of the whole world has entered me, the wise but simple one.

1.164.22 In the tree where the honey-eating birds all settle and breed,They say its fruit at the top is sweet; whoever does not know the father cannot reach it.

1.164.23 When Gayatri was placed upon Gayatri, or Trishtubh was fashioned from Trishtubh,Or Jagati's step was placed upon Jagati: those who know this reach immortality.

1.164.24 With Gayatri he measures out the hymn, with the hymn the chant, and with Trishtubh the speech.With speech he measures speech, the two-footed and four-footed verse, and by syllables seven voices.

1.164.25 With Jagati he propped up heaven's river; with the Rathantara song he saw the sun around him.They say Gayatri has three kindling sticks; through these he grew to greatness.

1.164.26 I call near this cow that gives plenty of milk; let a good milker milk her.Let Savitar give us the best favor; the hot drink is lit, and I will tell you of it.

1.164.27 Making her lowing sound, the owner of treasures came in her thoughts seeking her calf.Let this unharmed cow give milk for the Ashvins and grow for great good fortune.

1.164.28 The cow lows after her blinking calf, making a sound over his head.Lowing for the warm drink with her mouth, she calls out and pours milk.

1.164.29 The calf bleats, and the cow surrounds him and answers his cry as she rests on the ground.Thoughtfully she prepares the mortal and, becoming lightning, drives away his covering.

1.164.30 The living thing, moving quickly without sleeping, stands steady in the middle of dwellings.The living moves by the dead through its own nature, the immortal sharing a birth with the mortal.

1.164.31 I saw the guardian who never falls, traveling back and forth on his paths.He clothes himself in both common and separate forms and moves inside all living things.

1.164.32 The one who made him does not know him, and the one who saw him cannot see within him.He is covered inside his mother's womb, and with many offspring enters destruction.

1.164.33 Heaven is my father who gave me birth; here is my center, and this great earth is my mother and kin.The womb lies between the two upturned bowls: here the father placed an embryo in his daughter.

1.164.34 I ask you where the earth ends, and where the center of the world is.I ask you for the seed of the strong horse, and for the highest heaven of speech.

1.164.35 This altar is the farthest end of earth; this sacrifice is the world's center.This soma is the seed of the strong horse, and this prayer is the highest heaven of speech.

1.164.36 The seven half-born bear the world's seed, standing by Vishnu's direction in their proper places.Through thought and mind they are wise, surrounding all from every side.

1.164.37 I do not understand what it is that I am; hidden, I move wrapped in thought.When the firstborn of truth came to me, I received my share of speech.

1.164.38 The immortal goes backward and forward, held by his own nature and sharing a birth with the mortal.The two always travel apart in different directions; people know one but not the other.

1.164.39 In the highest heaven of the unchanging syllable of verse, all the gods have taken their places.What will a verse do for one who does not know that? Those who know it sit here together.

1.164.40 Be rich with good grass, and let us be rich too.Unharmed cow, eat grass at all times and drink clean water as you wander.

1.164.41 The cow makes sounds and shapes the waters: she has one foot, then two, then four.She has become eight-footed and nine-footed, with a thousand syllables in the highest heaven.

1.164.42 Seas pour out from her, and all four regions live from her.From her flows the unchanging thing on which the whole world lives.

1.164.43 I saw smoke from dung far away, beyond the path crossing from one side to the other.The men cooked the spotted bull; those were the first ordinances.

1.164.44 Three long-haired ones appear at the right times: one of them cuts hair in the year.One sees the whole world through his powers; the speed of one can be seen, but not his form.

1.164.45 Speech is measured out in four parts, known to thoughtful priests.Three are hidden away and do not move; humans speak the fourth part.

1.164.46 They call him Indra, Mitra, Varuna, and Agni, and he is the heavenly, beautiful-winged bird.The one being is given many names by poets; they call him Agni, Yama, and Matarishvan.

1.164.47 The beautiful yellow birds, dressed in water, fly up to heaven along the dark course.They return from the home of truth; then earth is watered with melted butter.

1.164.48 One wheel has twelve rims and three hubs: who understands that?Within it three hundred and sixty pegs are fixed together, never moving out of place.

1.164.49 Sarasvati, bring here for us to receive that breast of yours, full of refreshment and joy,With which you nourish all desirable things, holding treasure, finding riches, and giving generously.

1.164.50 The gods sacrificed to sacrifice with sacrifice: these were the first ordinances.Their greatness reached heaven, where the earlier gods called the Sadhyas live.

1.164.51 This same water rises and falls again through the days.Rainclouds strengthen earth; fires strengthen heaven.

1.164.52 I call for help on Sarasvan, the great heavenly bird, son of waters,Beautiful to see among plants, who satisfies us with rain as we look to him.

Hymn 1.165 — Seers: Indra (verses 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10–12); the Maruts (3, 5, 7, 9); Agastya, son of Mitra and Varuna (13–15). Deity: Indra with the Maruts. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.165.1 “With what splendor have the Maruts, companions of the same age and home, gathered as one?By what thought, and from where, have they come? What strength do the bulls praise as they seek wealth?”

1.165.2 “Whose prayers have the young ones welcomed? Who brought the Maruts back to sacrifice?Who can calm them with a great thought as they fly through the sky like falcons?”

1.165.3 “Indra, why do you go alone when you are so great? What brings you this way, good lord?You ask us when you meet the shining ones. Tell us, rider of bay horses, what you have for us.”

1.165.4 “My prayers and thoughts are good; the pressed soma is good. My strength rises, and my stone has been brought out.The songs respond eagerly, asking for me; my bay horses carry me to them.”

1.165.5 “We are harnessed with these close companions and decorate our bodies with power of our own.Now we join these great ones, Indra, since you have followed our own nature.”

1.165.6 “Maruts, where was your own power when you left me alone to fight the serpent?I, fierce and strong, bent every enemy down with my weapons.”

1.165.7 “You did a great deal with us, bull, your comrades who shared those brave deeds.But we too have done much by our skill, strongest Indra, as the Maruts wished.”

1.165.8 “I killed Vritra with my own divine force, Maruts, made strong by my own anger.With the mace in my hand, I made these lovely waters easy for Manu to cross.”

1.165.9 “No one surpasses you, generous one; we know no god like you.No one born or being born can attain what you do: do it, grown mighty!”

1.165.10 “Even my single strength has spread wide: what I dare, I accomplish by my own thought.I am fierce, Maruts; as Indra I know and rule everything I set in motion.”

1.165.11 “Maruts, I have rejoiced in this praise, for you made an honored prayer for me.Be friends and companions in person to me, the powerful, well-pleased Indra.”

1.165.12 “These shining Maruts have indeed pleased me, granting me blameless fame.Clear to see and bright in color, you have now pleased and satisfied me.”

1.165.13 “Maruts, which one of us will honor you here? Go to your friends as friends.Bring your brilliant thoughts to them, and be aware of these new words of truth from me.”

1.165.14 “When the poet honored the honored one with his skill, he turned him toward us.Turn here to the poet, Maruts: this singer has sung these prayers for you.”

1.165.15 “This is your hymn and this the song of the respected singer Mandarya, Maruts.May it give us life and strength; may we find food, protection, and lasting gifts.”

Hymn 1.166 — Seer: Agastya, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: the Maruts. Meter: Jagati; verses 14–15 Trishtubh.

1.166.1 Let us speak of your vigorous birth and the bull's first greatness as a sign.Loud Maruts, act powerfully on your journey like a fire burning, like fighters in war.

1.166.2 Carrying sweetness like a beloved son, they play their games at gatherings, fierce ones.The Rudras come to the reverent giver with help; powerful in themselves, they do not hurt one who offers gifts.

1.166.3 For the giver of offerings, the immortal ones grant their favor and growing wealth.The Maruts, sent to him, sprinkle the wide sky with joy-bringing milk.

1.166.4 They cover the skies with their strength, and your self-harnessed horses rush forward.Every house and living thing is afraid when you travel splendidly with raised spears.

1.166.5 When you roar loudly enough to shake mountains or bring down heaven's heights,Every forest tree fears your advance, and each plant falls like a chariot on its journey.

1.166.6 Fierce Maruts, keep our community safe and bring us good favor with your wisdom.Where your lightning tears like a toothed saw, it cuts an animal as a sharp cutting blade would.

1.166.7 Your desires stand strong and your gifts never fail; you are well praised at gatherings and free of deceit.They sing a hymn to drink the exciting soma, knowing the first acts of strength of the hero.

1.166.8 Maruts, guard from deadly deceit with hundred-armed forts the man you help.Fierce strong ones, protect that person's descendants as they grow from hostile words.

1.166.9 All the good things, Maruts, and your powers are set on your chariots as though competing with each other.Necklaces lie on your shoulders for journeys, and the chariot wheels turn together on the axle.

1.166.10 Many good things are on your strong arms, bright gold plates on your chests, fierce ones.Blades sit on your shoulders and wheel rims; you have beauty like birds spreading their wings.

1.166.11 Great in greatness and wide in power, you can be seen from afar like heavenly stars.Joyful, with good tongues, you sound together with your mouths, mingling round Indra as singers, Maruts.

1.166.12 Well-born Maruts, such is your greatness, and your gift is as lasting as Aditi's ordinance.Even Indra, though he can abandon you, respects what you have done for a good person.

1.166.13 In a later age, immortal Maruts, your kinship has helped many praised people.Through this prayer, protecting Manu with heed, the men have appeared together through their deeds.

1.166.14 May we flourish long, Maruts, through your swift and plentiful gifts.When our people spread among the communities, let us win their help by these sacrifices.

1.166.15 This is your hymn and this the song of the respected singer Mandarya, Maruts.May it give us life and strength; may we find food, protection, and lasting gifts.

Hymn 1.167 — Seer: Agastya, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra (verse 1), the Maruts (verses 2–11). Meter: Trishtubh.

1.167.1 Indra, give us a thousand forms of help and a thousand gifts of food, rider of bay horses, greatly praised one.Let a thousand riches bring us joy and a thousand prizes come near us.

1.167.2 Let the Maruts come toward us with their help and their oldest, great heavenly powers, skillful ones.Their teams thunder even at the far shore of the sea.

1.167.3 The bright, well-placed spear glistens among them like melted butter, adorned with gold.It moves hidden, like a human woman, and speaks at the gathering like a speaker there.

1.167.4 The bright ones have gone far; the Maruts mingled like the flow of a shared river.They do not drive fierce heaven and earth apart; the gods welcome growth and friendship.

1.167.5 When she gladly joins them with her divine power, the woman with loose hair is glad to accompany them.She comes toward their chariot like the sun, with a fierce face, born from the sky.

1.167.6 The young men set the young woman upon their chariot in gatherings to make it beautiful.For you, Maruts, a singer with offerings and pressed soma sang his hymn of praise.

1.167.7 I speak of what deserves telling: the true greatness of these Maruts.When the bull-like one joined them proudly, she carried strong, fortunate women with her.

1.167.8 Mitra and Varuna protect her from blame, and Aryaman turns back criticism.Even fixed, unshakable things move; the Maruts grow strong and share their gifts.

1.167.9 Maruts, none of your powers has ever reached its end for us, even from afar.Strong with daring power, they have crossed the flood of hatred without fear.

1.167.10 Today we are Indra's dearest; tomorrow we will speak of you in the gathering.We have been so before, and may we be great day after day; let our praise follow the strong men.

1.167.11 This is your hymn and this the song of the respected singer Mandarya, Maruts.May it give us life and strength; may we find food, protection, and lasting gifts.

Hymn 1.168 — Seer: Agastya, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: the Maruts. Meter: Jagati; verses 8–10 Trishtubh.

1.168.1 At each sacrifice you hurry together; you direct every thought toward the gods.Come close to us for our good; through well-spoken hymns I would win your great help between heaven and earth.

1.168.2 They were born strong on their own, like wild beasts, the quick ones striving to win food and sunlight.Like a thousand waves of water, like cows and bulls, they deserve praise.

1.168.3 They are like pressed soma with juicy shoots, drunk with pleasure in their hearts, sitting like beloved guests.A sounding ornament rings on their shoulders, and bracelets and tools are fixed in their hands.

1.168.4 The immortals sped down from heaven on their own teams, urging themselves with whips.Free of dust and born strong, the Maruts with shining spears shook even solid things.

1.168.5 Who among you, Maruts with spears of lightning, shakes like a tongue inside a mouth?He is unstoppable as a shower of food and acts again and again, like Etasha by day.

1.168.6 Where is the far end of this great sky, Maruts, and where the near end from which you came?When you shake what has been packed together, you fly across the raging sea with the mountain.

1.168.7 Your prize, Maruts, is mighty, radiant, fierce, well ripened, and richly painted.Your gift is good, like a full giver's donation; it spreads wide and roars with divine power.

1.168.8 The rivers roar back at your wheels when you raise your thunderous voice.Lightning flashes down on earth when you sprinkle melted butter, Maruts.

1.168.9 Prishni bore the fierce company of Maruts for the great battle.They set a mighty thing in motion and then saw their own nature carrying them forward.

1.168.10 This is your hymn and this the song of the respected singer Mandarya, Maruts.May it give us life and strength; may we find food, protection, and lasting gifts.

Hymn 1.169 — Seer: Agastya, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh; verse 2 Viraj.

1.169.1 Indra, great as you are, you protect these great ones, even from great harm.Wise god, win us the Maruts' favors, the ones you hold most dear.

1.169.2 All peoples harness themselves to you, Indra, knowing the limits of mortals.The Maruts compete together in the struggle for the bright prize.

1.169.3 Indra, let your spear point toward us; the Maruts spur on a force that has long endured.Agni also shines for you, as waters surround an island with offerings.

1.169.4 Indra, give us wealth with your strongest, most generous gifts.Praised, you and Vayu desire those offerings that fill us with sweetness and prizes, like milk from a breast.

1.169.5 With you, Indra, are riches and guides for anyone devoted to truth.Let those Maruts be kind to us, the gods who have long been seeking a way forward.

1.169.6 Come toward us, Indra, come toward the generous men; work in the great earthly house.When these ones with broad bases stood at the crossing like noble men, showing their strength.

1.169.7 I hear the noise of these fierce Maruts coming closer.They fly with their companies toward a mortal eager to fight, like one bringing an obligation due.

1.169.8 Indra, with the Maruts grant Manu's people nourishment, cattle first, for everyone.Praised with these gods, you grow strong; may we find food, protection, and lasting gifts.

Hymn 1.170 — Seers: Indra (verses 1, 3–4); Agastya, son of Mitra and Varuna (2, 5). Deity: Indra. Meter: Brihati; verses 2–4 Anushtubh; verse 5 Trishtubh.

1.170.1 “Nothing exists now, nor tomorrow: who understands the strange thing?People must enter another's mind, and even what has been learned fades away.”

1.170.2 “Indra, why do you want to kill us? The Maruts are your brothers.Be at peace with them; do not kill us in the gathering.”

1.170.3 “Brother Agastya, why do you disregard us when you are our friend?We know your mind: you mean to give us nothing.”

1.170.4 “Let them prepare the altar and light Agni in front.There let us spread your sacrifice with awareness of immortality.”

1.170.5 “You rule riches, lord of wealth; you are the best of friends, lord of friends.Indra, speak with the Maruts, then eat the offerings at the right time.”

Hymn 1.171 — Seer: Agastya, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: the Maruts; verses 3–6 Indra with the Maruts. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.171.1 I come toward you with respect, seeking the swift ones' goodwill with a fine hymn.Maruts, delight in the offerings set before you, lay aside anger, and unharness your horses.

1.171.2 Here is your respectful song, Maruts, shaped in the heart and held in the mind, gods.Come to these offerings, pleased in your minds, for you grow stronger through respect.

1.171.3 May the praised Maruts be kind to us, and may generous Indra, praised too, bring us the greatest good.Let our kind branches grow upward, and let us win every day, Maruts.

1.171.4 Maruts, I shake from fear of powerful Indra as I seek food.We cast offerings prepared for you, but kept them distant; be kind to us.

1.171.5 Through his power the bright Dawns become visible to people at their everlasting daybreaks.Strong bull, give us fame with the Maruts, fierce one joining fierce companions, old giver of strength.

1.171.6 Indra, protect our stronger men and, with the Maruts, become one who turns anger away.As a winner with wise signs, may we find food, protection, and lasting gifts.

Hymn 1.172 — Seer: Agastya, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: the Maruts. Meter: Gayatri.

1.172.1 May your journey be splendid, and your help splendid, generous Maruts,You who shine like serpents.

1.172.2 Generous Maruts, keep far away the spear you raise,And far away the stone that you throw.

1.172.3 Generous ones, protect us from the family of Trinaskanda.Raise us up so we can live.

Hymn 1.173 — Seer: Agastya, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh; verse 4 Viraj variant.

1.173.1 Sing a heavenly chant as a bird would; let us sing to him who grows stronger and gives sunlight.The milk cows stand safely on the ritual grass as he seeks his heavenly home.

1.173.2 The bull sang with other bulls who bring him offerings; like a deer he leaps beyond darkness.The glad priest brings his praise; the young man brings the divine pair to worship.

1.173.3 The priest goes around the house and carries an embryo through earth's seasons.The horse cries out as he is led, the cow bellows, and a messenger travels between heaven and earth with speech.

1.173.4 Those who seek the gods bring him these works and strong movements.Let marvelous, radiant Indra be pleased, sitting in a chariot that travels easily like the Ashvins'.

1.173.5 Praise Indra, strong fighter, heroic and generous rider in the chariot.Facing his enemies, he keeps fighting; the bull destroys even the covering darkness.

1.173.6 When his greatness has done enough for people, heaven and earth serve as the strap at his side.Indra wraps the community around him like land; self-sustaining, he holds up heaven like a headband.

1.173.7 In battles, hero, you move among the strong, leading us along the best path to victory.In shared excitement the peoples praise Indra and their own generous man with prizes.

1.173.8 Thus the soma pressings and the sea serve you well; divine waters delight in you there.You like every cow, and when you seek out generous people, you listen to men.

1.173.9 May we be his good friends and receive his good help, praised as great men are.May Indra take his seat in our praises, guiding our works and songs like a swift one.

1.173.10 With our praises, let Indra with the mace be ours, overcoming every rival.Those who want friendship honor their city's lord with rites and instruct the people at the center.

1.173.11 For even a sacrifice brings Indra success, when a man approaches it with his mind, though he has gone astray.Like a road that brings a thirsty traveler to water, a long path becomes short.

1.173.12 Indra, do not leave us here in battles with the gods; your strength offers protection.Even the Maruts honor the generous one's great gift with the giver's song.

1.173.13 This song is for you, Indra; through it find us a path, rider of bay horses.Turn toward us for good fortune, god; may we find food, protection, and lasting gifts.

Hymn 1.174 — Seer: Agastya, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.174.1 Indra, you are king, as are the gods: guard men, powerful one, and protect us.You are our good, generous, rescuing lord; you are true, strong, and bring wealth.

1.174.2 Indra, you broke the seven autumn forts sheltering people of hostile speech.You freed the faultless rivers and subdued young Vritra for Purukutsa.

1.174.3 Indra, fighter surrounded by strong women, many-called one, you won heaven with them.You protected Agni from the hostile demon for Turvayana, like a lion doing its work at home.

1.174.4 Let your strength remain, Indra, in this dwelling for praise of the great wielder of the spear.When he released the rivers and cows with battle, he stood by his bay horses and won prizes by daring.

1.174.5 Carry Kutsa, Indra, when you desire him, on the two straight, wind-swift horses.Hero with the mace, seize the sun's wheel nearby and ride against rivals.

1.174.6 Indra, you struck down Mitreru and the proud people who gave no offerings, rider of bay horses.The people who saw Aryaman and joined Ayu carried away descendants with your help.

1.174.7 The poet cried for the hymn's prize, Indra, and you made earth a pillow for the Dasa.Generous one, you produced three marvelous gifts and left Kuyavacha in his bad home among his enemies.

1.174.8 These ancient deeds of yours return anew, Indra: strength against the cloud and old enemies.You broke unbroken, godless forts and bent down the devouring weapon of the godless one.

1.174.9 You released the noisy, rushing waters, Indra, so they flowed like streams from a plow.When you crossed beyond the sea, hero, you carried Turvasha and Yadu safely across.

1.174.10 Indra, be ours everywhere, the most harmless of protectors of people.Give us strength against every rival; may we find food, protection, and lasting gifts.

Hymn 1.175 — Seer: Agastya, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Brihati; verses 2–5 Anushtubh; verse 6 Trishtubh.

1.175.1 Your exciting drink, rider of bay horses, is enough to fill a great vessel like a fish drinking.Your soma is strong, a champion that wins thousands.

1.175.2 Let your chosen, vigorous exhilaration come to us,Powerful, Indra, winning food and overcoming enemies in battle, immortal one.

1.175.3 You are a hero, driving Manu's chariot forward to victory.Strong one, you burn up the lawless Dasyu like a vessel in flames.

1.175.4 In your power, wise ruler, take away the sun's wheel.Carry Kutsa with the wind's horses to attack Shushna.

1.175.5 Your excitement and purpose are the strongest and most glorious.As killer of Vritra and finder of open paths, you are the best at winning horses.

1.175.6 As you were to earlier singers, Indra, like water to someone thirsty, you bring joy.I call on you by that old invitation; may we find food, protection, and lasting gifts.

Hymn 1.176 — Seer: Agastya, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Anushtubh; verse 6 Trishtubh.

1.176.1 Give us joy and choice goods, soma drop; enter Indra boldly.You stir the honest man but find no enemy near us.

1.176.2 Send our songs into him, who stands alone among people.According to his own nature he is sown like barley plowed by a bull.

1.176.3 All the wealth of the five peoples lies in his hands.Find out who is hostile to us and strike him like lightning from heaven.

1.176.4 Strike down at once the man who does not press soma, who gives poorly and offers you no pleasure.Give us knowledge of him; even the generous man seeks it.

1.176.5 His double strength has found a place again and again in our hymns.In battle, soma drop, help Indra, the prize-winner in contests.

1.176.6 As you were to earlier singers, Indra, like water to someone thirsty, you bring joy.I call on you by that old invitation; may we find food, protection, and lasting gifts.

Hymn 1.177 — Seer: Agastya, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.177.1 Indra, bull who fills people with strength, king of tribes, called by many,Praised and eager for fame, come with help; harness your two strong bay horses and come close.

1.177.2 Your powerful horses, Indra, join our prayers and draw your powerful chariot.Climb onto it and come near with them; we call you when the soma is pressed.

1.177.3 Climb onto your powerful chariot, strong one: your soma and sweet drinks have been pressed and poured.Harness your two strong bay horses, bull of the peoples, and ride down toward the stones.

1.177.4 Here is our sacrifice seeking the gods, our worship, our prayers, and soma, Indra.The ritual grass is spread; come now, powerful one, sit and drink, and unharness your horses here.

1.177.5 Come close, well-praised Indra, to the prayers of the respected poet.Praising you, may we find shelter and help; may we find food, protection, and lasting gifts.

Hymn 1.178 — Seer: Agastya, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Indra. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.178.1 Indra, if you have the readiness that made you a helper to earlier singers,Do not exhaust our growing wish; may I receive all the waters of your life.

1.178.2 Indra, the king will not let us be deceived, as sisters share a home.Even the waters flow well for him; let Indra come with friendship and long life.

1.178.3 Indra, a hero winning battles with men, listens to the call of the singer in need.He brings the chariot close to the giver and raises the songs, present in person.

1.178.4 So Indra wins fame with men and becomes rich in food among friends.In the contest of food the man praises him openly; he makes the worshiper's praise effective.

1.178.5 Through you, generous Indra, may we overcome enemies who think themselves great.You are our protector and the one who makes us grow; may we find food, protection, and lasting gifts.

Hymn 1.179 — Seers: Lopamudra (verses 1–2); Agastya, son of Mitra and Varuna (3–4); Agastya's student (5–6). Deity: sexual union. Meter: Trishtubh; verse 5 Brihati.

1.179.1 For many autumns I have worked hard, day and night and through the aging dawns.Old age wears down the beauty of our bodies. Even so, strong men should join their wives.

1.179.2 Even those ancient men who followed truth and spoke of truth together with the godsDid not last forever or reach an end to their labors. Now strong men should join their wives.

1.179.3 What the gods support is not wasted effort; together we can overcome every challenge.We can win a contest with a hundred ways to victory if we run together as a pair.

1.179.4 Desire has come to me from this side or that, from somewhere I cannot hold back.Lopamudra brings her strong husband close; the impatient woman draws on the patient man's breath.

1.179.5 I speak now to this soma I have drunk close to my heart.May it forgive whatever wrong we have done, for mortals have many desires.

1.179.6 Agastya, digging with digging tools, wanted children, descendants, and strength.That strong seer nourished both groups, and his true blessings came to the gods.

Hymn 1.180 — Seer: Agastya, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.180.1 Your well-controlled horses cross the skies when your chariot flies over the waters.Your golden wheels shine; you join Dawn and drink the honey.

1.180.2 You reach across the water for the hero worthy of worship when he has fallen.Your sister brings praise from every side and asks for prizes and sweet drink.

1.180.3 You put milk into the bright cow and brought her to maturity when she was still young.In the forest the pure giver of offerings seeks you, devoted to truth, moving like a winding path.

1.180.4 You poured a sweet hot drink for Atri, like water flowing toward food.Your praise, Ashvins, comes with requests for livestock as chariot wheels follow their honeyed course.

1.180.5 I would turn you toward giving, skilled ones, like Tugra's son restored by the rising cow.The waters and earth are joined by your greatness; you freed the exhausted man from trouble, honored ones.

1.180.6 When you unharness your teams, generous ones, you release abundance by your own nature.The generous man moves like the wind; a faithful man receives a great prize.

1.180.7 We singers truly offer praise to you, and the Pani seeks to conceal his hoard.But you are blameless, Ashvins, and your path is close to the gods, strong ones.

1.180.8 Day after day, Ashvins, you overcome the floods of Rudra's flowing stream.Agastya, honored among men, perceived thousands like a stream of praise.

1.180.9 When you set out through the power of your chariot, you travel in haste like a human priest.Give donors excellent horses, Ashvins, and let us win wealth.

1.180.10 Today we call that chariot of yours with new songs for our good, Ashvins.Its rim never breaks as it circles heaven; may we find food, protection, and lasting gifts.

Hymn 1.181 — Seer: Agastya, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.181.1 When, most beloved ones, did you raise the waters while sacrificing for welcome riches?This sacrifice has brought you praise, keepers of treasures and protectors of people.

1.181.2 Let your pure, milk-drinking heavenly horses, swift as wind and quick as thought,Strong with decorated backs, carry you here, independent Ashvins.

1.181.3 Let your chariot come like a wagon rolling down a slope, well fitted with seats, for our good.Strong riders, it is faster than thought, first among the worshipful in the rite.

1.181.4 Born here together, the pair called to each other with spotless bodies and their own names.One was the generous conqueror who led the fine sacrifice, the other heaven's fortunate son.

1.181.5 Your spotted one passed on after the cattle and came to its homes.One's bay horses grew fat on prizes; your chariot shook the skies with its noise, Ashvins.

1.181.6 The long-seasoned bull moves out like one who has settled down, seeking honey and abundant food.One's horses grow fat with prizes; the rivers came flowing upward as they wished.

1.181.7 A strong threefold song from the maker has been sent out for you, Ashvins.Save the man in need as he praises you, and hear my call on every journey.

1.181.8 Your shining, beautiful song in the hall with three ritual grasses nourishes men.Your vigorous cloud grew full, strong ones, blessing people like a cow sprinkling milk.

1.181.9 The worshiper honors you, Ashvins, with abundant offerings, like Pushan, as he honors Agni at dawn.As I praise you and call you to make room for us, may we find food, protection, and lasting gifts.

Hymn 1.182 — Seer: Agastya, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Jagati; verses 6–8 Trishtubh.

1.182.1 Here is a sign: decorate the chariot, strong ones, and rejoice, thoughtful ones.You strengthen thought, thoughtful givers who helped Vishpala, grandchildren of heaven who keep pure ordinances.

1.182.2 You are like Indra and the Maruts, skilled in your deeds and the best of charioteers.Your chariot is full of stored honey; come in it to the generous giver, Ashvins.

1.182.3 What are you doing here, skilled ones? Why stay here, when some man who gives no offering thinks himself important?Pass over him and weaken the Pani's life; bring light to the poet who speaks to you.

1.182.4 Crush the two dogs that bark on either side and strike the enemies: you know how, Ashvins.Make every word of the singer a treasure; protect my praise, both of you.

1.182.5 You made this floating, winged craft with life in it on the rivers for Tugra's son.With minds turned to the gods, you carried him out on fine wings across the great waters.

1.182.6 Thrown into the water, Tugra's son was cast into ungraspable darkness.Four boats favored by Jathala rose to carry him across, sent by the Ashvins.

1.182.7 What kind of tree stood in the middle of the sea for Tugra's son to clasp in his need?Ashvins, you raised him for his safety as one takes hold of a flying bird's wings.

1.182.8 Ashvins, let what the people have said in prayer to you happen.From this hall today, where we drink soma, may we find food, protection, and lasting gifts.

Hymn 1.183 — Seer: Agastya, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.183.1 Harness your chariot faster than thought, with its three seats and three wheels, strong ones.In it you come to the good man's home; with its threefold construction you fly like a bird's wings.

1.183.2 Your fine chariot turns its hub toward earth when you stop with your wisdom near our food.Let this beautiful song stay with beauty, as you join Dawn, heaven's daughter.

1.183.3 Climb onto your fine chariot, which circles the offerings in keeping with the ordinances.In it, Ashvins, you travel to bring food and a home for our children and ourselves.

1.183.4 Let neither wolf nor she-wolf overpower you; do not turn us aside or disregard us.This is your portion, this is your song, skilled ones; here are your stores of honey.

1.183.5 Gotama, Purumilha, and Atri call you for help with offerings, skilled ones.Come toward my call like men walking straight toward their assigned destination, Ashvins.

1.183.6 We have crossed to the far side of this darkness; our praise has been offered to you, Ashvins.Come here by the paths that lead to the gods; may we find food, protection, and lasting gifts.

Hymn 1.184 — Seer: Agastya, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: the Ashvins. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.184.1 Today and again later we call you with hymns at the brightening of dawn.Ashvins, wherever you are, noble grandchildren of heaven, come so we may give you gifts.

1.184.2 Enjoy yourselves here, strong ones, and kill the Panis as you rejoice in the night.Hear my thoughts spoken as fine words, men who seek and listen with your ears.

1.184.3 As an arrow maker prepares an arrow for beauty, gods, Pushan prepares Surya's wedding journey for you, Ashvins.Your high names, born in the waters, are spoken as lasting pairs under Varuna's greatness.

1.184.4 Let your sweet gift be ours; advance the song of the respected singer.Generous ones, people who seek fame rejoice in you for brave strength.

1.184.5 This song has been made for you, generous Ashvins, carefully by people.Come to the home for our children and ourselves, rejoicing with Agastya, Ashvins.

1.184.6 We have crossed to the far side of this darkness; our praise has been offered to you, Ashvins.Come here by the paths that lead to the gods; may we find food, protection, and lasting gifts.

Hymn 1.185 — Seer: Agastya, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: heaven and earth. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.185.1 Which of the two came first and which afterward? How were they born, and who among poets knows?By themselves they hold up everything with a name, turning like two wheels, like day and night.

1.185.2 The two without feet hold many moving, footed children in their wombs.Like a child forever in the parents' laps: heaven and earth, protect us from harm.

1.185.3 I call respectfully for Aditi's harmless, unopposed gift, full of sunlight and without injury.Heaven and earth, bring that gift to the singer; protect us from harm.

1.185.4 May we follow you, heaven and earth, parents of gods, without suffering, with your help.You are parents of both groups of gods through all the days; protect us from harm.

1.185.5 The two youthful sisters, related and meeting at their shared boundary, rest in their parents' laps.They touch the center of the world; heaven and earth, protect us from harm.

1.185.6 I call on the two broad, great dwellings, mothers of gods, with their help and truth.They hold immortal life in their beautiful faces; heaven and earth, protect us from harm.

1.185.7 I speak respectfully at this sacrifice to the two wide, spacious ones stretching far away.They hold good fortune and a safe way across; heaven and earth, protect us from harm.

1.185.8 If we have done wrong against a god, a friend, our household, or its master,Let this prayer release us from these wrongs; heaven and earth, protect us from harm.

1.185.9 Let both worthy powers attend me; let both help me with protection.As generous people enjoy abundant food, let us be nourished by the gods.

1.185.10 As a wise man I have spoken truth to heaven and earth first, so that they hear it.May father and mother guard us with help from blame and nearby trouble.

1.185.11 Heaven and earth, father and mother, let what I say to you here be true.Give us the nearest help of the gods; may we find food, protection, and lasting gifts.

Hymn 1.186 — Seer: Agastya, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: the All-Gods. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.186.1 Let the god Savitar, working for all people, come to our gathering with praises and gifts of refreshment.Let us rejoice with him like young men and think of all moving things at day's end.

1.186.2 Let all swift gods come to us, Mitra, Aryaman, and Varuna together.Let all the powers that help us strengthen us, so that our common strength is easy to call upon.

1.186.3 With praises I honor Agni, your dearest guest, a victorious companion.May famous Varuna stay with us and carry the generous giver across to food.

1.186.4 I approach you with respect, seeking victory, Dawn and Night, like cows that give plentiful milk.On one day the two different-colored ones measure the hymn, with milk in their shared udder.

1.186.5 Let Ahir Budhnya bring us joy; let the Sindhu come like a mother nursing her child.Through it let us stir up the child of the waters, carried by strong, mind-swift ones.

1.186.6 Let Tvashtar come near us in the evening, together with donors.Let Indra, killer of Vritra and strongest among men, come here.

1.186.7 Let our thoughts harnessed to horses lick him like cows licking a young calf.Let songs find him like wives seeking their husband, the most pleasant-smelling of men.

1.186.8 Let the Maruts with their great army sit together with us and heaven and earth, sharing one mind.They have spotted horses, move like swift chariots, and destroy foes as gods who seek friendship.

1.186.9 When their greatness appears and they harness their teams at the invocation,Their armies shower all the world like weapons on a fine day.

1.186.10 Call on the Ashvins and Pushan for help, for they have strength of their own.I turn to harmless Vishnu, Vayu, the Ribhus, and the gods for favor.

1.186.11 May this thought of yours, worshipful ones, fill us and stay in our home.It seeks riches among the gods; may we find food, protection, and lasting gifts.

1.187.1 Now I will praise food, great supporter and source of strength.With its force Trita crushed Vritra limb by limb.

1.187.2 Sweet food, honey-sweet food, we choose you.Be our protector.

1.187.3 Come to us, food, bringing kindness with kindly help.Bring joy as a friend with no hatred or deceit, kind to all.

1.187.4 Your juices, food, spread throughout the skies.They rest there like winds in heaven.

1.187.5 Your gifts, food, and your sweetest parts,The delights of flavors, go forth like strong-necked animals.

1.187.6 The mind of the great gods is placed in you, food.Through your lovely sign you brought down the serpent with your help.

1.187.7 When you reached the bright tops of mountains, food,Come here too, sweet food, ready for us to eat.

1.187.8 When we enjoy the essence of waters and plants,Grow strong and full in our bodies.

1.187.9 When we share you, Soma, mixed with milk and barley,Grow strong and full in our bodies.

1.187.10 Become porridge, healing plant, filling and healthy for the kidneys.Grow strong and full in our bodies.

1.187.11 We have made you ready, food, with words of invitation, as people prepare gifts with cows.You are a shared feast for the gods, and a shared feast for us.

1.188.5 The ruling, powerful doors, many, great, and numerous,Pour out melted butter.

1.188.6 Splendid with fine golden ornaments and beauty,Dawn and Night, come sit here.

1.188.7 The first two divine priests, wise and speaking well,Conduct this sacrifice for us.

Hymn 1.189 — Seer: Agastya, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Agni. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.189.1 Agni, guide us along a good path to wealth; god, you know all ways.Drive away the wrongdoing that misleads us; we give you our deepest words of respect.

1.189.2 Agni, carry us across every danger with fresh blessings.Give our children and descendants a broad and spacious home, and peace and safety.

1.189.3 Agni, drive sickness away from us and the peoples that surround us without tending your fire.Bring us back to good fortune on earth, god, alongside all the immortal ones who receive sacrifice.

1.189.4 Guard us, Agni, with constant watchers, shining in the home that you love.Let no fear touch your singer now or later, youngest strong one.

1.189.5 Do not hand us over, Agni, to a malicious enemy wishing us harm or to bad luck.Strong one, do not give us to anyone who bites, attacks, or wants to injure us.

1.189.6 Agni, born of truth, the man who praises you will find you as a shield for his body.God, you can see the danger from anyone who intends harm or speaks evil of us.

1.189.7 Agni, honored one, you know both kinds of people and come to them at day's end.For Manu you gave instruction at evening; the eager ones cleaned you and lit you.

Hymn 1.190 — Seer: Agastya, son of Mitra and Varuna. Deity: Brihaspati. Meter: Trishtubh.

1.190.1 Strengthen Brihaspati, the unopposed bull with a pleasant tongue, with new songs.The gods hear his splendid chants and the mortals hear him praise himself.

1.190.2 Words join him at the proper time, like a flood released for those who seek the gods.Brihaspati became all-pervading Matarishvan and skillfully made the good things appear.

1.190.3 Let him raise the song of praise, respect, and honor, reaching out his arms like Savitar.Day after day by his thought he is strong, fearsome as a wild animal, driving away evil spirits.

1.190.4 His song rises in heaven and earth, like a horse that breaks away, thoughtful and carrying gifts.Brihaspati's weapons move like hunters' weapons against the serpent's tricks day after day.

1.190.5 Some people wrongly think you are a god of no value, and those bad Pajras live off what is good.Brihaspati, you do not give good things to foolish thoughts; you select the one eager for them.

1.190.6 Let the path be easy to travel and rich in good grass; you are a friend hard to restrain, loved by those around you.The men who look toward us without opposition have stood up and uncovered what was hidden.

1.190.7 Praises go to him like streams pouring into the sea with banks on either side.Wise Brihaspati sees both sides from within, crossing the waters and scanning them.

1.190.8 Thus the great, mighty bull Brihaspati was established as a god.Praised, let him give us heroes and cows; may we find food, protection, and lasting gifts.

1.191.1 The large stinger, the small stinger, and the tiny one without a stinger,These two, and the biting little creatures, have attacked without being seen.

1.191.2 It kills what approaches and what goes away.It kills what is struck down and crushes what is being ground.

1.191.3 In reeds, rushes, darbha grass, and other grasses,In munja grass and brambles, the unseen ones all attacked together.

1.191.4 The cows have settled in the pen, and the wild animals have entered their lairs.The people's signs have settled; the unseen ones have attacked.

1.191.5 These are visible at dusk like thieves.Unseen but able to see everything, you have been discovered.

1.191.6 Heaven is your father, earth your mother, Soma your brother, and Aditi your sister.Unseen watchers of everything, stand still and take your ease.

1.191.7 Those on the shoulders, those on the limbs, the sharp ones, and the large stingers,All you unseen ones, none of you can do anything here; leave together.

1.191.8 The sun rises in the east, seeing all and killing the unseen.He crushes all the unseen ones and all the sorceresses.

1.191.9 The sun has jumped up, wearing down many things everywhere.Aditya rises above the mountains, seeing all and killing the unseen.

1.191.10 I place the poison in the sun, like a leather bag in a house with liquor.It will not die and neither will we. His horses take its power far away; the honey-maker has made you honey.

1.191.11 This tiny bird ate your poison with its companions.It will not die and neither will we. His horses take its power far away; the honey-maker has made you honey.

1.191.12 Twenty-one little sparks ate the nourishment of the poison.They will not die and neither will we. His horses take its power far away; the honey-maker has made you honey.

1.191.14 Twenty-one peahens and seven young sistersHave carried off your poison like women carrying water in jars.

1.191.15 I crush this tiny creature with a stone.The poison then turned away, following the distant slopes.

1.191.16 The little creature from the mountain slope said:“The scorpion's poison has no strength; your poison has no strength, scorpion.”
