सूक्त १०४

योनिष्ट इन्द्र निषदे अकारि तमा नि षीद स्वानो नार्वा। विमुच्या वयोऽवसायाश्वान्दोषा वस्तोर्वहीयसः प्रपित्वे॥

yoniṣṭa indra niṣade akāri tamā ni ṣīda svāno nārvā | vimucyā vayo'vasāyāśvāndoṣā vastorvahīyasaḥ prapitve ||

THE altar hath been made for thee to rest on: come like a panting courser and be seated. Loosen thy flying Steeds, set free thy Horses who bear thee swiftly nigh at eve and morning.

ओ त्ये नर इन्द्रमूतये गुर्नू चित्तान्सद्यो अध्वनो जगम्यात्। देवासो मन्युं दासस्य श्चम्नन्ते न आ वक्षन्सुविताय वर्णम्॥

o tye nara indramūtaye gurnū cittānsadyo adhvano jagamyāt | devāso manyuṁ dāsasya ścamnante na ā vakṣansuvitāya varṇam ||

These men have come to Indra for assistance: shall he not quickly come upon these pathways? May the Gods quell the fury of the Dasa, and may they lead our folk to happy fortune.

अव त्मना भरते केतवेदा अव त्मना भरते फेनमुदन्। क्षीरेण स्नातः कुयवस्य योषे हते ते स्यातां प्रवणे शिफायाः॥

ava tmanā bharate ketavedā ava tmanā bharate phenamudan | kṣīreṇa snātaḥ kuyavasya yoṣe hate te syātāṁ pravaṇe śiphāyāḥ ||

He who hath only wish as his possession casts on himself, casts foam amid the waters. Both wives of Kuyava in milk have bathed them: may they be drowned within the depth of Sipha.

युयोप नाभिरुपरस्यायोः प्र पूर्वाभिस्तिरते राष्टि शूरः। अञ्जसी कुलिशी वीरपत्नी पयो हिन्वाना उदभिर्भरन्ते॥

yuyopa nābhiruparasyāyoḥ pra pūrvābhistirate rāṣṭi śūraḥ | añjasī kuliśī vīrapatnī payo hinvānā udabhirbharante ||

This hath his kinship checked who lives beside us: with ancient streams forth speeds and rules the Hero, Anjasi, Kulisi, and Virapatni, delighting him, bear milk upon their waters.

प्रति यत्स्या नीथादर्शि दस्योरोको नाच्छा सदनं जानती गात्। अध स्मा नो मघवञ्चर्कृतादिन्मा नो मघेव निष्षपी परा दाः॥

prati yatsyā nīthādarśi dasyoroko nācchā sadanaṁ jānatī gāt | adha smā no maghavañcarkṛtādinmā no magheva niṣṣapī parā dāḥ ||

Soon as this Dasyu's traces were discovered, as she who knows her home, he sought the dwelling. Now think thou of us, Maghavan, nor cast us away as doth a profligate his treasure.

स त्वं न इन्द्र सूर्ये सो अप्स्वनागास्त्व आ भज जीवशंसे। मान्तरां भुजमा रीरिषो नः श्रद्धितं ते महत इन्द्रियाय॥

sa tvaṁ na indra sūrye so apsvanāgāstva ā bhaja jīvaśaṁse | māntarāṁ bhujamā rīriṣo naḥ śraddhitaṁ te mahata indriyāya ||

Indra, as such, give us a share of sunlight, of waters, sinlessness, and reputation. Do thou no harm to our yet unborn offspring: our trust is in thy mighty Indra-power.

अधा मन्ये श्रत्ते अस्मा अधायि वृषा चोदस्व महते धनाय। मा नो अकृते पुरुहूत योनाविन्द्र क्षुध्यद्भ्यो वय आसुतिं दाः॥

adhā manye śratte asmā adhāyi vṛṣā codasva mahate dhanāya | mā no akṛte puruhūta yonāvindra kṣudhyadbhyo vaya āsutiṁ dāḥ ||

Now we, I think, in thee as such have trusted: lead us on, Mighty One, to ample riches. In no unready house give us, O Indra invoked of many, food and drink when hungry.

मा नो वधीरिन्द्र मा परा दा मा नः प्रिया भोजनानि प्र मोषीः। आण्डा मा नो मघवञ्छक्र निर्भेन्मा नः पात्रा भेत्सहजानुषाणि॥

mā no vadhīrindra mā parā dā mā naḥ priyā bhojanāni pra moṣīḥ | āṇḍā mā no maghavañchakra nirbhenmā naḥ pātrā bhetsahajānuṣāṇi ||

Slay us not, Indra; do not thou forsake us: steal not away the joys which we delight in. Rend not our unborn brood, strong Lord of Bounty! our vessels with the life that is within them.

अर्वाङेहि सोमकामं त्वाहुरयं सुतस्तस्य पिबा मदाय। उरुव्यचा जठर आ वृषस्व पितेव नः शृणुहि हूयमानः॥

arvāṅehi somakāmaṁ tvāhurayaṁ sutastasya pibā madāya | uruvyacā jaṭhara ā vṛṣasva piteva naḥ śṛṇuhi hūyamānaḥ ||

Come to us; they have called thee Soma-lover: here is the pressed juice. Drink thereof for rapture. Widely-capacious, pour it down within thee, and, invocated, hear us like a Father.
