Sukta 178

त्यमू षु वाजिनं देवजूतं सहावानं तरुतारं रथानाम्। अरिष्टनेमिं पृतनाजमाशुं स्वस्तये तार्क्ष्यमिहा हुवेम॥

tyamū ṣu vājinaṁ devajūtaṁ sahāvānaṁ tarutāraṁ rathānām | ariṣṭanemiṁ pṛtanājamāśuṁ svastaye tārkṣyamihā huvema ||

THIS very mighty one whom Gods commission, the Conqueror of cars, ever triumphant, Swift, fleet to battle, with uninjured fellies, even Tarksya for our weal will we call hither.

इन्द्रस्येव रातिमाजोहुवानाः स्वस्तये नावमिवा रुहेम। उर्वी न पृथ्वी बहुले गभीरे मा वामेतौ मा परेतौ रिषाम॥

indrasyeva rātimājohuvānāḥ svastaye nāvamivā ruhema | urvī na pṛthvī bahule gabhīre mā vāmetau mā paretau riṣāma ||

As though we offered up our gifts to Indra, may we ascend. him as a ship. for safety. Like the two wide worlds, broad, deep far-extended, may we be safe both when he comes and leaves you.

सद्यश्चिद्यः शवसा पञ्च कृष्टीः सूर्य इव ज्योतिषापस्ततान। सहस्रसाः शतसा अस्य रंहिर्न स्मा वरन्ते युवतिं न शर्याम्॥

sadyaścidyaḥ śavasā pañca kṛṣṭīḥ sūrya iva jyotiṣāpastatāna | sahasrasāḥ śatasā asya raṁhirna smā varante yuvatiṁ na śaryām ||

He who with might the Five Lands hath pervaded, like Surya with his lustre, and the waters- His strength wins hundreds, thousands none avert it, as- the young maid repelleth not her lover.
