सूक्त १११

तक्षन्रथं सुवृतं विद्मनापसस्तक्षन्हरी इन्द्रवाहा वृषण्वसू। तक्षन्पितृभ्यामृभवो युवद्वयस्तक्षन्वत्साय मातरं सचाभुवम्॥

takṣanrathaṁ suvṛtaṁ vidmanāpasastakṣanharī indravāhā vṛṣaṇvasū | takṣanpitṛbhyāmṛbhavo yuvadvayastakṣanvatsāya mātaraṁ sacābhuvam ||

WORKING with skill they wrought the lightly rolling car: they wrought the Bays who bear Indra and bring great gifts. The Rbhus for their Parents made life young again; and fashioned for the calf a mother by its side.

आ नो यज्ञाय तक्षत ऋभुमद्वयः क्रत्वे दक्षाय सुप्रजावतीमिषम्। यथा क्षयाम सर्ववीरया विशा तन्नः शर्धाय धासथा स्विन्द्रियम्॥

ā no yajñāya takṣata ṛbhumadvayaḥ kratve dakṣāya suprajāvatīmiṣam | yathā kṣayāma sarvavīrayā viśā tannaḥ śardhāya dhāsathā svindriyam ||

For sacrifice make for us active vital power for skill and wisdom food with noble progeny. Grant to our company this power most excellent, that with a family all-heroic we may dwell.

आ तक्षत सातिमस्मभ्यमृभवः सातिं रथाय सातिमर्वते नरः। सातिं नो जैत्रीं सं महेत विश्वहा जामिमजामिं पृतनासु सक्षणिम्॥

ā takṣata sātimasmabhyamṛbhavaḥ sātiṁ rathāya sātimarvate naraḥ | sātiṁ no jaitrīṁ saṁ maheta viśvahā jāmimajāmiṁ pṛtanāsu sakṣaṇim ||

Do ye, O Rbhus, make prosperity for us, prosperity for car, ye Heroes, and for steed. Grant us prosperity victorious evermore, conquering foes in battle, strangers or akin.

ऋभुक्षणमिन्द्रमा हुव ऊतय ऋभून्वाजान्मरुतः सोमपीतये। उभा मित्रावरुणा नूनमश्विना ते नो हिन्वन्तु सातये धिये जिषे॥

ṛbhukṣaṇamindramā huva ūtaya ṛbhūnvājānmarutaḥ somapītaye | ubhā mitrāvaruṇā nūnamaśvinā te no hinvantu sātaye dhiye jiṣe ||

Indra, the Rbhus' Lord, I invocate for aid, the Rbhus, Vajas, Maruts to the Soma draught. Varuna, Mitra, both, yea, and the Asvins Twain: let them speed us to wealth, wisdom, and victory.

ऋभुर्भराय सं शिशातु सातिं समर्यजिद्वाजो अस्माँ अविष्टु। तन्नो मित्रो वरुणो मामहन्तामदितिः सिन्धुः पृथिवी उत द्यौः॥

ṛbhurbharāya saṁ śiśātu sātiṁ samaryajidvājo asmā aviṣṭu | tanno mitro varuṇo māmahantāmaditiḥ sindhuḥ pṛthivī uta dyauḥ ||

May Rbhu send prosperity for battle, may Vaja conquering in the fight protect us. This prayer of ours may Varuna grant, and Mitra, and Aditi and Sindhu, Earth and Heaven.
