सचा यदासु जहतीष्वत्कममानुषीषु मानुषो निषेवे । अप स्म मत्तरसन्ती न भुज्युस्ता अत्रसन्रथस्पृशो नाश्वाः
When, with them, I abandoned desire among mortals, I, a mortal, served among mortals. Then, being intoxicated, they did not enjoy me; those who touched the chariot, those horses, vanished.
यदासु मर्तो अमृतासु निस्पृक्सं क्षोणीभिः क्रतुभिर्न पृङ्क्ते । ता आतयो न तन्वः शुम्भत स्वा अश्वासो न क्रीळयो दन्दशानाः
When a mortal, indifferent among the immortal women, does not share in their rituals with the earth-dwellers, then those forms shine forth, like horses at play, like restless colts, adorned in their own beauty.
विद्युन्न या पतन्ती दविद्योद्भरन्ती मे अप्या काम्यानि । जनिष्टो अपो नर्यः सुजातः प्रोर्वशी तिरत दीर्घमायुः
Like lightning she fell, flashing without thunder, carrying away my cherished desires. The noble-born woman was born among the waters—O Urvashi, extend a long life for the man.
जज्ञिष इत्था गोपीथ्याय हि दधाथ तत्पुरूरवो म ओजः । अशासं त्वा विदुषी सस्मिन्नहन्न म आशृणोः किमभुग्वदासि
You were born thus, for the work of a herdsman; for that, O Pururavas, you placed your strength. I desired you, wise one, but you did not stay with me; you did not listen—what was it that you enjoyed?
कदा सूनुः पितरं जात इच्छाच्चक्रन्नाश्रु वर्तयद्विजानन् । को दम्पती समनसा वि यूयोदध यदग्निः श्वशुरेषु दीदयत्
When does a son, newly born, seek his father, causing tears to flow, knowing the truth? Who can separate a husband and wife who are of one mind, when Agni burns among the in-laws?
प्रति ब्रवाणि वर्तयते अश्रु चक्रन्न क्रन्ददाध्ये शिवायै । प्र तत्ते हिनवा यत्ते अस्मे परेह्यस्तं नहि मूर मापः
I declare it: she causes tears to flow, she makes the mother-in-law weep aloud for her well-being. Therefore, I send you away from me—go to another; do not touch me, foolish one.
सुदेवो अद्य प्रपतेदनावृत्परावतं परमां गन्तवा उ । अधा शयीत निरृतेरुपस्थेऽधैनं वृका रभसासो अद्युः
Let the good god depart today, unrestrained, to the farthest distance, to the most distant place. There let him lie in the lap of destruction; there let the wolves, eager, devour him.
पुरूरवो मा मृथा मा प्र पप्तो मा त्वा वृकासो अशिवास उ क्षन् । न वै स्त्रैणानि सख्यानि सन्ति सालावृकाणां हृदयान्येता
Pururavas, do not die, do not depart; let not the cruel, wicked wolves destroy you. Indeed, there is no friendship in women; the hearts of she-wolves are like this.
यद्विरूपाचरं मर्त्येष्ववसं रात्रीः शरदश्चतस्रः । घृतस्य स्तोकं सकृदह्न आश्नां तादेवेदं तातृपाणा चरामि
Whatever strange conduct I practiced among mortals, I dwelled for four autumns and nights. I ate a small portion of clarified butter once a day; with that alone, now satisfied, I depart.
अन्तरिक्षप्रां रजसो विमानीमुप शिक्षाम्युर्वशीं वसिष्ठः । उप त्वा रातिः सुकृतस्य तिष्ठान्नि वर्तस्व हृदयं तप्यते मे
Vasishtha, who moves in the midspace, seeks out Urvashi, the radiant one. The reward of good deeds stands near you; do not turn away—my heart is burning.
इति त्वा देवा इम आहुरैळ यथेमेतद्भवसि मृत्युबन्धुः । प्रजा ते देवान्हविषा यजाति स्वर्ग उ त्वमपि मादयासे
Thus the gods say this to you, O Aila: as you are, you are kin to death. Your offspring offer oblations to the gods; you, too, rejoice in heaven.
प्र ते महे विदथे शंसिषं हरी प्र ते वन्वे वनुषो हर्यतं मदम् । घृतं न यो हरिभिश्चारु सेचत आ त्वा विशन्तु हरिवर्पसं गिरः
For you, O mighty one, I proclaim praise in the assembly; for you I seek the delight of the eager, the joy of the strong. Like clarified butter, which is beautifully poured by the Haris, may the hymns, adorned with your golden form, reach you.
हरिं हि योनिमभि ये समस्वरन्हिन्वन्तो हरी दिव्यं यथा सदः । आ यं पृणन्ति हरिभिर्न धेनव इन्द्राय शूषं हरिवन्तमर्चत
For it is Hari whom those who invoke, pour forth, as in the heavenly abode. They fill him with Haris, like cows with milk—offer praise to Indra, the strong one, accompanied by the Haris.
सो अस्य वज्रो हरितो य आयसो हरिर्निकामो हरिरा गभस्त्योः । द्युम्नी सुशिप्रो हरिमन्युसायक इन्द्रे नि रूपा हरिता मिमिक्षिरे
His weapon is the tawny, iron thunderbolt; Hari, the unconstrained, Hari in his hands. Glorious, fair-cheeked, with the fury of Hari, in Indra the forms of the Haris have been fashioned.
दिवि न केतुरधि धायि हर्यतो विव्यचद्वज्रो हरितो न रंह्या । तुददहिं हरिशिप्रो य आयसः सहस्रशोका अभवद्धरिम्भरः
Like a beacon in the sky is set the sign of the tawny one; the thunderbolt, like the tawny, shines forth. He struck the serpent, the iron-jawed one, with a thousand points—he bore the strength of Hari.
त्वंत्वमहर्यथा उपस्तुतः पूर्वेभिरिन्द्र हरिकेश यज्वभिः । त्वं हर्यसि तव विश्वमुक्थ्यमसामि राधो हरिजात हर्यतम्
You, O Indra of tawny hair, have been praised as of old by former worshippers. You are tawny, all your might is tawny; your favor is tawny-born, most delightful.
ता वज्रिणं मन्दिनं स्तोम्यं मद इन्द्रं रथे वहतो हर्यता हरी । पुरूण्यस्मै सवनानि हर्यत इन्द्राय सोमा हरयो दधन्विरे
Those two tawny steeds, yoked to the chariot, bear Indra, the thunderer, the joyous, the praiseworthy, to the pressing of Soma. For him, many tawny libations have been prepared; for Indra, the tawny ones have poured out the Soma.
अरं कामाय हरयो दधन्विरे स्थिराय हिन्वन्हरयो हरी तुरा । अर्वद्भिर्यो हरिभिर्जोषमीयते सो अस्य कामं हरिवन्तमानशे
For desire, the tawny ones have poured out; for the steadfast, the tawny steeds are harnessed, swift. He who is pleased with the tawny horses, with the steeds, attains his desire, full of tawny delight.
हरिश्मशारुर्हरिकेश आयसस्तुरस्पेये यो हरिपा अवर्धत । अर्वद्भिर्यो हरिभिर्वाजिनीवसुरति विश्वा दुरिता पारिषद्धरी
With tawny beard, tawny hair, iron-clad, he who grew strong in the protection of the tawny one—he who is pleased with the steeds, the mighty, the leader of hosts, overcomes all evils with the tawny ones.
स्रुवेव यस्य हरिणी विपेततुः शिप्रे वाजाय हरिणी दविध्वतः । प्र यत्कृते चमसे मर्मृजद्धरी पीत्वा मदस्य हर्यतस्यान्धसः
Like two ladles, his tawny ones have been set apart; the swift ones, for the prize, have been split in two. When, for the sake of the offering, the tawny ones have been cleansed in the vessel, having drunk the exhilarating, delightful Soma.
उत स्म सद्म हर्यतस्य पस्त्योरत्यो न वाजं हरिवाँ अचिक्रदत् । मही चिद्धि धिषणाहर्यदोजसा बृहद्वयो दधिषे हर्यतश्चिदा
And indeed, in the house of the exhilarating one, the stallion neighed for the prize, like a racer. The great, nourishing, exhilarating one, with strength, has established a mighty power, even among the exhilarating.
आ रोदसी हर्यमाणो महित्वा नव्यंनव्यं हर्यसि मन्म नु प्रियम् । प्र पस्त्यमसुर हर्यतं गोराविष्कृधि हरये सूर्याय
Across heaven and earth, you are being exalted in greatness; ever anew, you delight in this, my dear hymn. O lord, reveal the exhilarating dwelling of the cow for the worshipper, for the sun.
आ त्वा हर्यन्तं प्रयुजो जनानां रथे वहन्तु हरिशिप्रमिन्द्र । पिबा यथा प्रतिभृतस्य मध्वो हर्यन्यज्ञं सधमादे दशोणिम्
Let the horses of the people, yoked, bring you here, O Indra of the tawny mane, to the chariot. Drink as you desire of the offered mead, O exhilarating one, accept the sacrifice with the ten priests in the assembly.
अपाः पूर्वेषां हरिवः सुतानामथो इदं सवनं केवलं ते । ममद्धि सोमं मधुमन्तमिन्द्र सत्रा वृषञ्जठर आ वृषस्व
Of the earlier pressed Somas, O exhilarating one, and now, this pressing is solely for you. Drink the honeyed Soma, O Indra, with strength; let the mighty one pour it into your belly all at once.
या ओषधीः पूर्वा जाता देवेभ्यस्त्रियुगं पुरा । मनै नु बभ्रूणामहं शतं धामानि सप्त च
Those plants that were born long ago, three ages before the gods— I now declare their hundreds and their seven abodes.
शतं वो अम्ब धामानि सहस्रमुत वो रुहः । अधा शतक्रत्वो यूयमिमं मे अगदं कृत
A hundred are your abodes, O mothers, and a thousand are your forms. Therefore, O hundred-powered ones, make this man of mine free from disease.
ओषधीः प्रति मोदध्वं पुष्पवतीः प्रसूवरीः । अश्वा इव सजित्वरीर्वीरुधः पारयिष्ण्वः
Rejoice, O plants, rich in flowers, bearing fruit; like swift horses, may the healing herbs carry us across.
ओषधीरिति मातरस्तद्वो देवीरुप ब्रुवे । सनेयमश्वं गां वास आत्मानं तव पूरुष
O plants, thus I address you, O goddesses, as mothers: may I gain a horse, a cow, clothing, and your spirit, O man.
अश्वत्थे वो निषदनं पर्णे वो वसतिष्कृता । गोभाज इत्किलासथ यत्सनवथ पूरुषम्
Your seat is under the ashvattha tree, your dwelling is made in the leaf. It is said you are born from the cow when you bring forth a man.
यत्रौषधीः समग्मत राजानः समिताविव । विप्रः स उच्यते भिषग्रक्षोहामीवचातनः
Where the plants have gathered, like kings in assembly, the sage is called the healer, the guardian who drives away disease.
