सूक्त १२६

अमन्दान्स्तोमान्प्र भरे मनीषा सिन्धावधि क्षियतो भाव्यस्य। यो मे सहस्रममिमीत सवानतूर्तो राजा श्रव इच्छमानः॥

amandānstomānpra bhare manīṣā sindhāvadhi kṣiyato bhāvyasya | yo me sahasramamimīta savānatūrto rājā śrava icchamānaḥ ||

WITH wisdom I present these lively praises of Bhavya dweller on the bank of Sindhu; For he, unconquered King, desiring glory, hath furnished me a thousand sacrifices.

शतं राज्ञो नाधमानस्य निष्काञ्छतमश्वान्प्रयतान्सद्य आदम्। शतं कक्षीवाँ असुरस्य गोनां दिवि श्रवोऽजरमा ततान॥

śataṁ rājño nādhamānasya niṣkāñchatamaśvānprayatānsadya ādam | śataṁ kakṣīvā asurasya gonāṁ divi śravo'jaramā tatāna ||

A hundred necklets from the King, beseeching, a hundred gift-steeds I at once accepted; Of the lord's cows a thousand, I Kaksivan. His deathless glory hath he spread to heaven.

उप मा श्यावाः स्वनयेन दत्ता वधूमन्तो दश रथासो अस्थुः। षष्टिः सहस्रमनु गव्यमागात्सनत्कक्षीवाँ अभिपित्वे अह्नाम्॥

upa mā śyāvāḥ svanayena dattā vadhūmanto daśa rathāso asthuḥ | ṣaṣṭiḥ sahasramanu gavyamāgātsanatkakṣīvā abhipitve ahnām ||

Horses of dusky colour stood beside me, ten chariots, Svanaya's gift, with mares to draw them. Kine numbering sixty thousand followed after. Kaksivan gained them when the days were closing.

चत्वारिंशद्दशरथस्य शोणाः सहस्रस्याग्रे श्रेणिं नयन्ति। मदच्युतः कृशनावतो अत्यान्कक्षीवन्त उदमृक्षन्त पज्राः॥

catvāriṁśaddaśarathasya śoṇāḥ sahasrasyāgre śreṇiṁ nayanti | madacyutaḥ kṛśanāvato atyānkakṣīvanta udamṛkṣanta pajrāḥ ||

Forty bay horses of the ten cars' master before a thousand lead the long procession. Reeling in joy Kaksivan's sons and Pajra's have grounded the coursers decked with pearly trappings.

पूर्वामनु प्रयतिमा ददे वस्त्रीन्युक्ताँ अष्टावरिधायसो गाः। सुबन्धवो ये विश्या इव व्रा अनस्वन्तः श्रव ऐषन्त पज्राः॥

pūrvāmanu prayatimā dade vastrīnyuktā aṣṭāvaridhāyaso gāḥ | subandhavo ye viśyā iva vrā anasvantaḥ śrava aiṣanta pajrāḥ ||

An earlier gift for you have I accepted eight cows, good milkers, and tree harnessed horses, Pajras, who with your wains with your great kinsman, like troops of subjects, have been fain for glory.

आगधिता परिगधिता या कशीकेव जङ्गहे। ददाति मह्यं यादुरी याशूनां भोज्या शता॥

āgadhitā parigadhitā yā kaśīkeva jaṅgahe | dadāti mahyaṁ yādurī yāśūnāṁ bhojyā śatā ||

[Ille loquitur]. Adhaerens, arcte adhaerens, illa quac mustelae similis se abdidit, multum humorem effundens, dat mihi complexuum centum gaudia.

उपोप मे परा मृश मा मे दभ्राणि मन्यथाः। सर्वाहमस्मि रोमशा गन्धारीणामिवाविका॥

upopa me parā mṛśa mā me dabhrāṇi manyathāḥ | sarvāhamasmi romaśā gandhārīṇāmivāvikā ||

[Illa loquitur]. Prope, prope accede; molliter me tange. Ne putes pilos corporis mei-paucos esse: tota sum villosa sicut Gandharidum ovis.
