सूक्त ३६

स आ गमदिन्द्रो यो वसूनां चिकेतद्दातुं दामनो रयीणाम्। धन्वचरो न वंसगस्तृषाणश्चकमानः पिबतु दुग्धमंशुम्॥

sa ā gamadindro yo vasūnāṁ ciketaddātuṁ dāmano rayīṇām | dhanvacaro na vaṁsagastṛṣāṇaścakamānaḥ pibatu dugdhamaṁśum ||

MAY Indra come to us, he who knows rightly to give forth treasures from his store of riches. Even as a thirsty steer who roams the deserts may he drink eagerly the milked-out Soma.

आ ते हनू हरिवः शूर शिप्रे रुहत्सोमो न पर्वतस्य पृष्ठे। अनु त्वा राजन्नर्वतो न हिन्वन्गीर्भिर्मदेम पुरुहूत विश्वे॥

ā te hanū harivaḥ śūra śipre ruhatsomo na parvatasya pṛṣṭhe | anu tvā rājannarvato na hinvangīrbhirmadema puruhūta viśve ||

Lord of Bay Horses, Hero, may the Soma rise to thy cheeks and jaws like mountain-ridges. May we, O King, as he who driveth coursers, all joy in thee with hymns, invoked of many!

चक्रं न वृत्तं पुरुहूत वेपते मनो भिया मे अमतेरिदद्रिवः। रथादधि त्वा जरिता सदावृध कुविन्नु स्तोषन्मघवन्पुरूवसुः॥

cakraṁ na vṛttaṁ puruhūta vepate mano bhiyā me amateridadrivaḥ | rathādadhi tvā jaritā sadāvṛdha kuvinnu stoṣanmaghavanpurūvasuḥ ||

Invoked of many, Caster of the Stone my heart quakes like a rolling wheel for fear of penury. Shall not Puruvasu the singer give thee praise, O ever-prospering Maghavan, mounted on thy car?

एष ग्रावेव जरिता त इन्द्रेयर्ति वाचं बृहदाशुषाणः। प्र सव्येन मघवन्यंसि रायः प्र दक्षिणिद्धरिवो मा वि वेनः॥

eṣa grāveva jaritā ta indreyarti vācaṁ bṛhadāśuṣāṇaḥ | pra savyena maghavanyaṁsi rāyaḥ pra dakṣiṇiddharivo mā vi venaḥ ||

Like the press-stone is this thy praiser, Indra. Loudly he lifts his voice with strong endeavour. With thy left hand, O Maghavan, give us riches: with thy right, Lord of Bays, be not reluctant.

वृषा त्वा वृषणं वर्धतु द्यौर्वृषा वृषभ्यां वहसे हरिभ्याम्। स नो वृषा वृषरथः सुशिप्र वृषक्रतो वृषा वज्रिन्भरे धाः॥

vṛṣā tvā vṛṣaṇaṁ vardhatu dyaurvṛṣā vṛṣabhyāṁ vahase haribhyām | sa no vṛṣā vṛṣarathaḥ suśipra vṛṣakrato vṛṣā vajrinbhare dhāḥ ||

May the strong Heaven make thee the Strong wax stronger: Strong, thou art borne by thy two strong Bay Horses. So, fair of cheek, with mighty chariot, mighty, uphold us, strong-willed, thunderarmed, in battle.

यो रोहितौ वाजिनौ वाजिनीवान्त्रिभिः शतैः सचमानावदिष्ट। यूने समस्मै क्षितयो नमन्तां श्रुतरथाय मरुतो दुवोया॥

yo rohitau vājinau vājinīvāntribhiḥ śataiḥ sacamānāvadiṣṭa | yūne samasmai kṣitayo namantāṁ śrutarathāya maruto duvoyā ||

Maruts, let all the people in obeisance bow down before this youthful Srutaratha, Who, rich in steeds, gave me two dark red horses together with three hundred head of cattle.
