सूक्त २७

अनस्वन्ता सत्पतिर्मामहे मे गावा चेतिष्ठो असुरो मघोनः। त्रैवृष्णो अग्ने दशभिः सहस्रैर्वैश्वानर त्र्यरुणश्चिकेत॥

anasvantā satpatirmāmahe me gāvā cetiṣṭho asuro maghonaḥ | traivṛṣṇo agne daśabhiḥ sahasrairvaiśvānara tryaruṇaściketa ||

THE Godlike hero, famousest of nobles, hath granted me two oxen with a wagon. Trvrsan's son Tryaruna hath distinguished himself, Vaisvanara Agni! with ten thousands.

यो मे शता च विंशतिं च गोनां हरी च युक्ता सुधुरा ददाति। वैश्वानर सुष्टुतो वावृधानोऽग्ने यच्छ त्र्यरुणाय शर्म॥

yo me śatā ca viṁśatiṁ ca gonāṁ harī ca yuktā sudhurā dadāti | vaiśvānara suṣṭuto vāvṛdhāno'gne yaccha tryaruṇāya śarma ||

Protect Tryaruna, as thou art waxing strong and art highly praised, Vaisvanara Agni! Who granteth me a hundred kine and twenty, and two bay horses, good at draught, and harnessed.

एवा ते अग्ने सुमतिं चकानो नविष्ठाय नवमं त्रसदस्युः। यो मे गिरस्तुविजातस्य पूर्वीर्युक्तेनाभि त्र्यरुणो गृणाति॥

evā te agne sumatiṁ cakāno naviṣṭhāya navamaṁ trasadasyuḥ | yo me girastuvijātasya pūrvīryuktenābhi tryaruṇo gṛṇāti ||

So Trasadasyu served thee, God Most Youthful, craving thy favour for the ninth time, Agni; Tryaruya who with attentive spirit accepteth many a song from me the mighty.

यो म इति प्रवोचत्यश्वमेधाय सूरये। दददृचा सनिं यते ददन्मेधामृतायते॥

yo ma iti pravocatyaśvamedhāya sūraye | dadadṛcā saniṁ yate dadanmedhāmṛtāyate ||

He who declares his wish to me, to Asvamedha, to the Prince, Pays him who with his verse seeks gain, gives power to him who keeps the Law.

यस्य मा परुषाः शतमुद्धर्षयन्त्युक्षणः। अश्वमेधस्य दानाः सोमा इव त्र्याशिरः॥

yasya mā paruṣāḥ śatamuddharṣayantyukṣaṇaḥ | aśvamedhasya dānāḥ somā iva tryāśiraḥ ||

From whom a hundred oxen, all of speckled hue, delight my heart, The gifts of Asvamedha, like thrice-mingled draughts of Soma juice.

इन्द्राग्नी शतदाव्न्यश्वमेधे सुवीर्यम्। क्षत्रं धारयतं बृहद्दिवि सूर्यमिवाजरम्॥

indrāgnī śatadāvnyaśvamedhe suvīryam | kṣatraṁ dhārayataṁ bṛhaddivi sūryamivājaram ||

To Asvamedha who bestows a hundred gifts grant hero power, O Indra-Agni! lofty rule like the unwasting Sun in heaven.
