सूक्त १३५

स्तीर्णं बर्हिरुप नो याहि वीतये सहस्रेण नियुता नियुत्वते शतिनीभिर्नियुत्वते। तुभ्यं हि पूर्वपीतये देवा देवाय येमिरे। प्र ते सुतासो मधुमन्तो अस्थिरन्मदाय क्रत्वे अस्थिरन्॥

stīrṇaṁ barhirupa no yāhi vītaye sahasreṇa niyutā niyutvate śatinībhirniyutvate | tubhyaṁ hi pūrvapītaye devā devāya yemire | pra te sutāso madhumanto asthiranmadāya kratve asthiran ||

STREWN is the sacred grass; come Vayu, to our feast, with team of thousands, come, Lord of the harnessed team, with hundreds, Lord of harnessed steeds! The drops divine are lifted up for thee, the God, to drink them first. The juices rich in sweets have raised thern for thy joy, have raised themselves to give thee strength.

तुभ्यायं सोमः परिपूतो अद्रिभिः स्पार्हा वसानः परि कोशमर्षति शुक्रा वसानो अर्षति। तवायं भाग आयुषु सोमो देवेषु हूयते। वह वायो नियुतो याह्यस्मयुर्जुषाणो याह्यस्मयुः॥

tubhyāyaṁ somaḥ paripūto adribhiḥ spārhā vasānaḥ pari kośamarṣati śukrā vasāno arṣati | tavāyaṁ bhāga āyuṣu somo deveṣu hūyate | vaha vāyo niyuto yāhyasmayurjuṣāṇo yāhyasmayuḥ ||

Purified by the stones the Soma flows for thee, clothed with its lovely splendours, to the reservoir, flows clad in its refulgent light. For thee the Soma is poured forth, thy portioned share mid. Gods and men. Drive thou thy horses, Vayu, come to us with love, come well-inclined and loving us.

आ नो नियुद्भिः शतिनीभिरध्वरं सहस्रिणीभिरुप याहि वीतये वायो हव्यानि वीतये। तवायं भाग ऋत्वियः सरश्मिः सूर्ये सचा। अध्वर्युभिर्भरमाणा अयंसत वायो शुक्रा अयंसत॥

ā no niyudbhiḥ śatinībhiradhvaraṁ sahasriṇībhirupa yāhi vītaye vāyo havyāni vītaye | tavāyaṁ bhāga ṛtviyaḥ saraśmiḥ sūrye sacā | adhvaryubhirbharamāṇā ayaṁsata vāyo śukrā ayaṁsata ||

Come thou with hundreds, come with thousands in thy team to this our solemn rite, to taste the sacred food, Vayu, to taste the offerings. This is thy seasonable share, that comes co-radiant with the Sun. Brought by attendant priests pure juice is offered up, Vayu, pure juice is offered up.

आ वां रथो नियुत्वान्वक्षदवसेऽभि प्रयांसि सुधितानि वीतये वायो हव्यानि वीतये। पिबतं मध्वो अन्धसः पूर्वपेयं हि वां हितम्। वायवा चन्द्रेण राधसा गतमिन्द्रश्च राधसा गतम्॥

ā vāṁ ratho niyutvānvakṣadavase'bhi prayāṁsi sudhitāni vītaye vāyo havyāni vītaye | pibataṁ madhvo andhasaḥ pūrvapeyaṁ hi vāṁ hitam | vāyavā candreṇa rādhasā gatamindraśca rādhasā gatam ||

The chariot with its team of horses bring you both, to guard us and to taste the well-appointed food, Vayu, to taste the offerings! Drink of the pleasant -flavoured juice the first draught is assigned to you. O Vayu, with your splendid bounty come ye both, Indra, with bounty come ye both.

आ वां धियो ववृत्युरध्वराँ उपेममिन्दुं मर्मृजन्त वाजिनमाशुमत्यं न वाजिनम्। तेषां पिबतमस्मयू आ नो गन्तमिहोत्या। इन्द्रवायू सुतानामद्रिभिर्युवं मदाय वाजदा युवम्॥

ā vāṁ dhiyo vavṛtyuradhvarā upemaminduṁ marmṛjanta vājinamāśumatyaṁ na vājinam | teṣāṁ pibatamasmayū ā no gantamihotyā | indravāyū sutānāmadribhiryuvaṁ madāya vājadā yuvam ||

May our songs bring you hither to our solemn rites: these drops of mighty vigour have they beauti fied, like a swift veed of mighty strength. Drink of them well-inclined to us, come hitherward to be our help. Drink, Indra-Vayu, of these Juices pressed with stones, Strength-givers! till they gladden you.

इमे वां सोमा अप्स्वा सुता इहाध्वर्युभिर्भरमाणा अयंसत वायो शुक्रा अयंसत। एते वामभ्यसृक्षत तिरः पवित्रमाशवः। युवायवोऽति रोमाण्यव्यया सोमासो अत्यव्यया॥

ime vāṁ somā apsvā sutā ihādhvaryubhirbharamāṇā ayaṁsata vāyo śukrā ayaṁsata | ete vāmabhyasṛkṣata tiraḥ pavitramāśavaḥ | yuvāyavo'ti romāṇyavyayā somāso atyavyayā ||

These Soma juices pressed for you in waters here, borne by attendant priests, are oficredup to you: bright, Vayu, are they offered up. Swift through the strainer have they flowed, and here are shed for both ofyou, Soma-drops, fain for you, over the wether's fleece, Somas over the wether's fleece.

अति वायो ससतो याहि शश्वतो यत्र ग्रावा वदति तत्र गच्छतं गृहमिन्द्रश्च गच्छतम्। वि सूनृता ददृशे रीयते घृतमा पूर्णया नियुता याथो अध्वरमिन्द्रश्च याथो अध्वरम्॥

ati vāyo sasato yāhi śaśvato yatra grāvā vadati tatra gacchataṁ gṛhamindraśca gacchatam | vi sūnṛtā dadṛśe rīyate ghṛtamā pūrṇayā niyutā yātho adhvaramindraśca yātho adhvaram ||

O Vayu, pass thou over all the,slumberers, and where the press-stone rings enter ye both that house, yea, Indra, go ye both within. The joyous Maiden is beheld, the butter flows. With richly laden team come to our solemn rite, yea, Indra, come ye to the rite.

अत्राह तद्वहेथे मध्व आहुतिं यमश्वत्थमुपतिष्ठन्त जायवोऽस्मे ते सन्तु जायवः। साकं गावः सुवते पच्यते यवो न ते वाय उप दस्यन्ति धेनवो नाप दस्यन्ति धेनवः॥

atrāha tadvahethe madhva āhutiṁ yamaśvatthamupatiṣṭhanta jāyavo'sme te santu jāyavaḥ | sākaṁ gāvaḥ suvate pacyate yavo na te vāya upa dasyanti dhenavo nāpa dasyanti dhenavaḥ ||

Ride hither to the offering of the pleasant juice, the holy Fig-tree which victorious priests surround: victorious be they still for us. At once the cows yield milk, the barleymeal is dressed. For thee, O Vayu, never shall the cows grow thin, never for thee shall they be dry.

इमे ये ते सु वायो बाह्वोजसोऽन्तर्नदी ते पतयन्त्युक्षणो महि व्राधन्त उक्षणः। धन्वञ्चिद्ये अनाशवो जीराश्चिदगिरौकसः। सूर्यस्येव रश्मयो दुर्नियन्तवो हस्तयोर्दुर्नियन्तवः॥

ime ye te su vāyo bāhvojaso'ntarnadī te patayantyukṣaṇo mahi vrādhanta ukṣaṇaḥ | dhanvañcidye anāśavo jīrāścidagiraukasaḥ | sūryasyeva raśmayo durniyantavo hastayordurniyantavaḥ ||

These Bulls of thine, O Vayu with the arm of strength, who swiftly fly within the current of thy stream, the Bulls increasing in their might, Horseless, yet even through the waste swift-moving, whom no shout can stay, Hard to be checked are they, like sunbeams, in their course. hard to be checked by both the hands.
