सूक्त ३४

अजातशत्रुमजरा स्वर्वत्यनु स्वधामिता दस्ममीयते। सुनोतन पचत ब्रह्मवाहसे पुरुष्टुताय प्रतरं दधातन॥

ajātaśatrumajarā svarvatyanu svadhāmitā dasmamīyate | sunotana pacata brahmavāhase puruṣṭutāya prataraṁ dadhātana ||

BOUNDLESS and wasting not, the heavenly food of Gods goes to the foeless One, doer of wondrous deeds. Press out, make ready, offer gifts with special zeal to him whom many laud, accepter of the prayer.

आ यः सोमेन जठरमपिप्रतामन्दत मघवा मध्वो अन्धसः। यदीं मृगाय हन्तवे महावधः सहस्रभृष्टिमुशना वधं यमत्॥

ā yaḥ somena jaṭharamapipratāmandata maghavā madhvo andhasaḥ | yadīṁ mṛgāya hantave mahāvadhaḥ sahasrabhṛṣṭimuśanā vadhaṁ yamat ||

He who filled full his belly with the Soma's juice, Maghavan, was delighted with the meath's sweet draught, When Usana, that he might slay the monstrous beast, gave him the mighty weapon with a thousand points.

यो अस्मै घ्रंस उत वा य ऊधनि सोमं सुनोति भवति द्युमाँ अह। अपाप शक्रस्ततनुष्टिमूहति तनूशुभ्रं मघवा यः कवासखः॥

yo asmai ghraṁsa uta vā ya ūdhani somaṁ sunoti bhavati dyumā aha | apāpa śakrastatanuṣṭimūhati tanūśubhraṁ maghavā yaḥ kavāsakhaḥ ||

Illustrious is the man whoever presseth out Soma for him in sunshine or in cloud and rain. The mighty Maghavan who is the sage's Friend advanceth more and more his beauteous progeny.

यस्यावधीत्पितरं यस्य मातरं यस्य शक्रो भ्रातरं नात ईषते। वेतीद्वस्य प्रयता यतंकरो न किल्बिषादीषते वस्व आकरः॥

yasyāvadhītpitaraṁ yasya mātaraṁ yasya śakro bhrātaraṁ nāta īṣate | vetīdvasya prayatā yataṁkaro na kilbiṣādīṣate vasva ākaraḥ ||

The Strong God doth not flee away from him whose sire, whose mother or whose brother he hath done to death. He, the Avenger, seeketh this man's offered gifts: this God, the source of riches, doth not flee from sin.

न पञ्चभिर्दशभिर्वष्ट्यारभं नासुन्वता सचते पुष्यता चन। जिनाति वेदमुया हन्ति वा धुनिरा देवयुं भजति गोमति व्रजे॥

na pañcabhirdaśabhirvaṣṭyārabhaṁ nāsunvatā sacate puṣyatā cana | jināti vedamuyā hanti vā dhunirā devayuṁ bhajati gomati vraje ||

He seeks no enterprise with five or ten to aid, nor stays with him who pours no juice though prospering well. The Shaker conquers or slays in this way or that, and to the pious gives a stable full of kine.

वित्वक्षणः समृतौ चक्रमासजोऽसुन्वतो विषुणः सुन्वतो वृधः। इन्द्रो विश्वस्य दमिता विभीषणो यथावशं नयति दासमार्यः॥

vitvakṣaṇaḥ samṛtau cakramāsajo'sunvato viṣuṇaḥ sunvato vṛdhaḥ | indro viśvasya damitā vibhīṣaṇo yathāvaśaṁ nayati dāsamāryaḥ ||

Exceeding strong in war he stays the chariot wheel, and, hating him who pours not, prospers him who pours. Indra the terrible, tamer of every man, as Arya leads away the Dasa at his will.

समीं पणेरजति भोजनं मुषे वि दाशुषे भजति सूनरं वसु। दुर्गे चन ध्रियते विश्व आ पुरु जनो यो अस्य तविषीमचुक्रुधत्॥

samīṁ paṇerajati bhojanaṁ muṣe vi dāśuṣe bhajati sūnaraṁ vasu | durge cana dhriyate viśva ā puru jano yo asya taviṣīmacukrudhat ||

He gathers up for plunder all the niggard's gear: excellent wealth he gives to him who offers gifts. Not even in wide stronghold may all the folk stand firm who have provoked to anger his surpassing might.

सं यज्जनौ सुधनौ विश्वशर्धसाववेदिन्द्रो मघवा गोषु शुभ्रिषु। युजं ह्यन्यमकृत प्रवेपन्युदीं गव्यं सृजते सत्वभिर्धुनिः॥

saṁ yajjanau sudhanau viśvaśardhasāvavedindro maghavā goṣu śubhriṣu | yujaṁ hyanyamakṛta pravepanyudīṁ gavyaṁ sṛjate satvabhirdhuniḥ ||

When Indra Maghavan hath marked two wealthy men fighting for beauteous cows with all their followers, He who stirs all things takes one as his close ally, and, Shaker, with his Heroes, sends the kine to him.

सहस्रसामाग्निवेशिं गृणीषे शत्रिमग्न उपमां केतुमर्यः। तस्मा आपः संयतः पीपयन्त तस्मिन्क्षत्रममवत्त्वेषमस्तु॥

sahasrasāmāgniveśiṁ gṛṇīṣe śatrimagna upamāṁ ketumaryaḥ | tasmā āpaḥ saṁyataḥ pīpayanta tasminkṣatramamavattveṣamastu ||

Agni! I laud the liberal Agnivesi, Satri the type and standard of the pious. May the collected waters yield him plenty, and his be powerful and bright dominion.
