Sukta 37

आ वो वाहिष्ठो वहतु स्तवध्यै रथो वाजा ऋभुक्षणो अमृक्तः। अभि त्रिपृष्ठैः सवनेषु सोमैर्मदे सुशिप्रा महभिः पृणध्वम्॥

ā vo vāhiṣṭho vahatu stavadhyai ratho vājā ṛbhukṣaṇo amṛktaḥ | abhi tripṛṣṭhaiḥ savaneṣu somairmade suśiprā mahabhiḥ pṛṇadhvam ||

LET your best-bearing car that must be lauded, ne'er injured, bring you Vajas and Rbhuksans. Fill you, fair-helmeted! with mighty Soma, thrice-mixed, at our libations to delight you.

यूयं ह रत्नं मघवत्सु धत्थ स्वर्दृश ऋभुक्षणो अमृक्तम्। सं यज्ञेषु स्वधावन्तः पिबध्वं वि नो राधांसि मतिभिर्दयध्वम्॥

yūyaṁ ha ratnaṁ maghavatsu dhattha svardṛśa ṛbhukṣaṇo amṛktam | saṁ yajñeṣu svadhāvantaḥ pibadhvaṁ vi no rādhāṁsi matibhirdayadhvam ||

Ye who behold the light of heaven, Rbhuksans, give our rich patrons unmolested riches. Drink, heavenly-natured. at our sacrifices, and give us bounties for the hymns we sing you.

उवोचिथ हि मघवन्देष्णं महो अर्भस्य वसुनो विभागे। उभा ते पूर्णा वसुना गभस्ती न सूनृता नि यमते वसव्या॥

uvocitha hi maghavandeṣṇaṁ maho arbhasya vasuno vibhāge | ubhā te pūrṇā vasunā gabhastī na sūnṛtā ni yamate vasavyā ||

For thou, O Bounteous One, art used to giving, at parting treasure whether small or ample. Filled full are both thine arms with great possessions: thy goodness keeps thee not from granting riches.

त्वमिन्द्र स्वयशा ऋभुक्षा वाजो न साधुरस्तमेष्यृक्वा। वयं नु ते दाश्वांसः स्याम ब्रह्म कृण्वन्तो हरिवो वसिष्ठाः॥

tvamindra svayaśā ṛbhukṣā vājo na sādhurastameṣyṛkvā | vayaṁ nu te dāśvāṁsaḥ syāma brahma kṛṇvanto harivo vasiṣṭhāḥ ||

Indra, high-famed, as Vaja and Rbhuksans, thou goest working, singing to the dwelling. Lord of Bay Steeds, this day may we Vasisthas offer our prayers to thee and bring oblations.

सनितासि प्रवतो दाशुषे चिद्याभिर्विवेषो हर्यश्व धीभिः। ववन्मा नु ते युज्याभिरूती कदा न इन्द्र राय आ दशस्येः॥

sanitāsi pravato dāśuṣe cidyābhirviveṣo haryaśva dhībhiḥ | vavanmā nu te yujyābhirūtī kadā na indra rāya ā daśasyeḥ ||

Thou winnest swift advancement for thy servant, through hymns, Lord of Bay Steeds, which thou hast favoured. For thee with friendly succour have we battled, and when, O Indra, wilt thou grant us riches?

वासयसीव वेधसस्त्वं नः कदा न इन्द्र वचसो बुबोधः। अस्तं तात्या धिया रयिं सुवीरं पृक्षो नो अर्वा न्युहीत वाजी॥

vāsayasīva vedhasastvaṁ naḥ kadā na indra vacaso bubodhaḥ | astaṁ tātyā dhiyā rayiṁ suvīraṁ pṛkṣo no arvā nyuhīta vājī ||

To us thy priests a home, as 'twere, thou givest: when, Indra wilt thou recognize our praises? May thy strong Steed, through our ancestral worship, bring food and wealth with heroes to our dwelling.

अभि यं देवी निरृतिश्चिदीशे नक्षन्त इन्द्रं शरदः सुपृक्षः। उप त्रिबन्धुर्जरदष्टिमेत्यस्ववेशं यं कृणवन्त मर्ताः॥

abhi yaṁ devī nirṛtiścidīśe nakṣanta indraṁ śaradaḥ supṛkṣaḥ | upa tribandhurjaradaṣṭimetyasvaveśaṁ yaṁ kṛṇavanta martāḥ ||

Though Nirrti the Goddess reigneth round him, Autumns with food in plenty come to Indra. With three close Friends to length of days he cometh, he whom men let not rest at home in quiet.

आ नो राधांसि सवितः स्तवध्या आ रायो यन्तु पर्वतस्य रातौ। सदा नो दिव्यः पायुः सिषक्तु यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः॥

ā no rādhāṁsi savitaḥ stavadhyā ā rāyo yantu parvatasya rātau | sadā no divyaḥ pāyuḥ siṣaktu yūyaṁ pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||

Promise us gifts, O Savitar: may riches come unto us in Parvata's full bounty. May the Celestial Guardian still attend us. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
