ये गोमन्तं वाजवन्तं सुवीरं रयिं धत्थ वसुमन्तं पुरुक्षुम् । ते अग्रेपा ऋभवो मन्दसाना अस्मे धत्त ये च रातिं गृणन्ति
Those who have bestowed wealth with cows, with horses, with heroic sons, abundant riches, those foremost Ṛbhus, delighting, grant us, those who also give gifts to the singers.
नापाभूत न वोऽतीतृषामानिःशस्ता ऋभवो यज्ञे अस्मिन् । समिन्द्रेण मदथ सं मरुद्भिः सं राजभी रत्नधेयाय देवाः
You have not failed, nor have you transgressed, nor have you been blamed, O Ṛbhus, in this sacrifice. Together with Indra you rejoice, together with the Maruts, together with the kings, O gods, for the bestowal of treasures.
इहोप यात शवसो नपातः सौधन्वना ऋभवो माप भूत । अस्मिन्हि वः सवने रत्नधेयं गमन्त्विन्द्रमनु वो मदासः
Come here, O offspring of power, O Ṛbhus of the Sudhanvanas, do not be absent. For in this libation your treasure is to be gained, and your exhilarations follow Indra.
आगन्नृभूणामिह रत्नधेयमभूत्सोमस्य सुषुतस्य पीतिः । सुकृत्यया यत्स्वपस्यया चँ एकं विचक्र चमसं चतुर्धा
The treasure of the Ṛbhus has arrived here, the drinking of the well-pressed Soma has taken place. By skill and by insight, you divided one cup into four.
व्यकृणोत चमसं चतुर्धा सखे वि शिक्षेत्यब्रवीत । अथैत वाजा अमृतस्य पन्थां गणं देवानामृभवः सुहस्ताः
You divided the cup into four, O friend, 'Learn,' you said. Then, O prize-bearers, you found the path to immortality, O Ṛbhus, skillful-handed, among the host of gods.
किम्मयः स्विच्चमस एष आस यं काव्येन चतुरो विचक्र । अथा सुनुध्वं सवनं मदाय पात ऋभवो मधुनः सोम्यस्य
Was this cup made of clay, which you divided into four by skill? Now press the libation for delight, drink, O Ṛbhus, of the honeyed Soma.
शच्याकर्त पितरा युवाना शच्याकर्त चमसं देवपानम् । शच्या हरी धनुतरावतष्टेन्द्रवाहावृभवो वाजरत्नाः
By skill you made the parents young again, by skill you made the cup fit for the gods' drinking. By skill you fashioned the two horses for Indra's chariot, O Ṛbhus, bearers of prizes.
यो वः सुनोत्यभिपित्वे अह्नां तीव्रं वाजासः सवनं मदाय । तस्मै रयिमृभवः सर्ववीरमा तक्षत वृषणो मन्दसानाः
Whoever presses for you the strong libation for enjoyment during the days, to him, O Ṛbhus, grant wealth full of heroes, O mighty ones, delighting.
प्रातः सुतमपिबो हर्यश्व माध्यंदिनं सवनं केवलं ते । समृभुभिः पिबस्व रत्नधेभिः सखीँर्याँ इन्द्र चकृषे सुकृत्या
You drank the Soma pressed in the morning, O Indra of the tawny steeds; the midday libation is yours alone. Drink with the Ṛbhus, with those who bear treasures, O friend, as you have made by skill.
ये देवासो अभवता सुकृत्या श्येना इवेदधि दिवि निषेद । ते रत्नं धात शवसो नपातः सौधन्वना अभवतामृतासः
Those gods who became skillful, like eagles, have settled in heaven. Let them, O offspring of power, O Ṛbhus of the Sudhanvanas, grant the treasure, having become immortal.
यत्तृतीयं सवनं रत्नधेयमकृणुध्वं स्वपस्या सुहस्ताः । तदृभवः परिषिक्तं व एतत्सं मदेभिरिन्द्रियेभिः पिबध्वम्
When you accomplished the third pressing, the bestowal of riches, with keen insight and skillful hands, O Ribhus, that offering has been purified for you—drink it here with your powers and exhilaration.
अनश्वो जातो अनभीशुरुक्थ्यो रथस्त्रिचक्रः परि वर्तते रजः । महत्तद्वो देव्यस्य प्रवाचनं द्यामृभवः पृथिवीं यच्च पुष्यथ
Born without horses, without reins, yet fit for praise, a chariot with three wheels circles through the expanse; this is your great, divine proclamation, O Ribhus, as you sustain both heaven and earth.
रथं ये चक्रुः सुवृतं सुचेतसोऽविह्वरन्तं मनसस्परि ध्यया । ताँ ऊ न्वस्य सवनस्य पीतय आ वो वाजा ऋभवो वेदयामसि
You who fashioned the well-made, well-guided chariot, unwavering, surpassing the mind in thought—truly, for you is the draught of this offering; to you, O Ribhus, we declare the prize.
तद्वो वाजा ऋभवः सुप्रवाचनं देवेषु विभ्वो अभवन्महित्वनम् । जिव्री यत्सन्ता पितरा सनाजुरा पुनर्युवाना चरथाय तक्षथ
That, O Ribhus, is your renowned speech among the gods, your greatness, O skillful ones: when, though youthful, you restored your ancient parents to youth again for movement.
एकं वि चक्र चमसं चतुर्वयं निश्चर्मणो गामरिणीत धीतिभिः । अथा देवेष्वमृतत्वमानश श्रुष्टी वाजा ऋभवस्तद्व उक्थ्यम्
With your thought, you made one cup into four, and from a hide, you fashioned a cow; then, among the gods, you attained immortality—this, O Ribhus, is your praiseworthy deed.
ऋभुतो रयिः प्रथमश्रवस्तमो वाजश्रुतासो यमजीजनन्नरः । विभ्वतष्टो विदथेषु प्रवाच्यो यं देवासोऽवथा स विचर्षणिः
The wealth of the Ribhus is most renowned from the beginning, famed for strength, which the men produced; the work of Vibhvan is to be proclaimed in the assemblies, whom the gods protected—he is wise among men.
स वाज्यर्वा स ऋषिर्वचस्यया स शूरो अस्ता पृतनासु दुष्टरः । स रायस्पोषं स सुवीर्यं दधे यं वाजो विभ्वाँ ऋभवो यमाविषुः
He is a prize-winning steed, a sage with eloquence, a hero, steadfast in battles; he brings abundance and mighty strength, whom Vibhvan, the Ribhus, and Vaja have inspired.
श्रेष्ठं वः पेशो अधि धायि दर्शतं स्तोमो वाजा ऋभवस्तं जुजुष्टन । धीरासो हि ष्ठा कवयो विपश्चितस्तान्व एना ब्रह्मणा वेदयामसि
The finest, most splendid form has been placed upon you—accept this praise, O Ribhus, O Vajas; for you are wise, seers, discerning—by this hymn we make you known.
यूयमस्मभ्यं धिषणाभ्यस्परि विद्वांसो विश्वा नर्याणि भोजना । द्युमन्तं वाजं वृषशुष्ममुत्तममा नो रयिमृभवस्तक्षता वयः
You, knowing all, grant to us and to our inspired thoughts every noble enjoyment; fashion for us, O Ribhus, radiant, powerful, supreme wealth and enduring vigor.
इह प्रजामिह रयिं रराणा इह श्रवो वीरवत्तक्षता नः । येन वयं चितयेमात्यन्यान्तं वाजं चित्रमृभवो ददा नः
Here grant us offspring, here grant us wealth, here fashion for us fame with heroism; by which we may surpass others—O Ribhus, grant us wondrous strength.
उप नो वाजा अध्वरमृभुक्षा देवा यात पथिभिर्देवयानैः । यथा यज्ञं मनुषो विक्ष्वासु दधिध्वे रण्वाः सुदिनेष्वह्नाम्
Come to our sacrifice, O Ribhus, O gods who delight in offerings, by the paths of the gods; as you have established the worship among the peoples, rejoicing in the bright days of the fires.
ते वो हृदे मनसे सन्तु यज्ञा जुष्टासो अद्य घृतनिर्णिजो गुः । प्र वः सुतासो हरयन्त पूर्णाः क्रत्वे दक्षाय हर्षयन्त पीताः
May those offerings today, clarified with ghee, be pleasing to your heart and mind; let the pressed draughts, brimming and exhilarating, gladden you for skill and power.
त्र्युदायं देवहितं यथा व स्तोमो वाजा ऋभुक्षणो ददे वः । जुह्वे मनुष्वदुपरासु विक्षु युष्मे सचा बृहद्दिवेषु सोमम्
As I have offered you the triple praise, O Ribhus, O bestowers of strength, for the divine purpose, so among men, in all the tribes, I offer you the Soma, together with the great ones in the heavens.
पीवोअश्वाः शुचद्रथा हि भूतायःशिप्रा वाजिनः सुनिष्काः । इन्द्रस्य सूनो शवसो नपातोऽनु वश्चेत्यग्रियं मदाय
Your horses are strong, your chariots shining, your bodies youthful, O victorious ones, splendidly adorned; O sons of Indra, grandsons of might, you follow the foremost exhilaration.
ऋभुमृभुक्षणो रयिं वाजे वाजिन्तमं युजम् । इन्द्रस्वन्तं हवामहे सदासातममश्विनम्
We call upon Rbhu, Rbhukshan, and Vaja for wealth, for the most powerful prize, yoked together; with Indra's favor, ever to be invoked, and the most helpful Ashvin.
सेदृभवो यमवथ यूयमिन्द्रश्च मर्त्यम् । स धीभिरस्तु सनिता मेधसाता सो अर्वता
That man whom you, O Ribhus, and Indra favor, he becomes a winner by his thoughts, a possessor of wisdom, and a charioteer.
वि नो वाजा ऋभुक्षणः पथश्चितन यष्टवे । अस्मभ्यं सूरय स्तुता विश्वा आशास्तरीषणि
O Ribhus, O bestowers of strength, open the paths for our worship; may the praised riches come to us from every direction, all-desired.
तं नो वाजा ऋभुक्षण इन्द्र नासत्या रयिम् । समश्वं चर्षणिभ्य आ पुरु शस्त मघत्तये
That wealth, O Ribhus, O Indra, O Nasatyas, grant to us—abundant in horses, for the people, much-praised, for the sake of bounty.
उतो हि वां दात्रा सन्ति पूर्वा या पूरुभ्यस्त्रसदस्युर्नितोशे । क्षेत्रासां ददथुरुर्वरासां घनं दस्युभ्यो अभिभूतिमुग्रम्
Indeed, your gifts are ancient, those which you bestowed upon the Pūrus, O Sadasyu, in the abode of Nitośa. You granted fertile fields and broad lands, and fierce victory over enemies, crushing them with might.
उत वाजिनं पुरुनिष्षिध्वानं दधिक्रामु ददथुर्विश्वकृष्टिम् । ऋजिप्यं श्येनं प्रुषितप्सुमाशुं चर्कृत्यमर्यो नृपतिं न शूरम्
You gave Dadhikrā, swift and victorious, who brings prosperity to all peoples. Straight-moving like a falcon, swift as a horse sprinkled with water, worthy of praise, noble as a king, courageous as a hero.
