Bibliotheca Polyglotta

1 FAR-SHINING, widely famed, going thy wonted way, fed with the oil, be helpful. Mitra-like, to us. So, Viṣṇu, e’en the wise must swell thy song of praise, and he who hath oblations pay thee solemn rites.

yáḥ pūrviyā́ya vedháse návīyase sumájjānaye víṣṇave dádāśati |
yó jātám asya maható máhi brávat séd u śrávobhir yújiyaṃ cid abhy àsat ||

2 He who brings gifts to him the Ancient and the Last, to Viṣṇu who ordains, together with his Spouse, Who tells the lofty birth of him the Lofty One, shall verily surpass in glory e’en his peer.

tám u stotāraḥ pūrviyáṃ yáthā vidá r̥tásya gárbhaṃ janúṣā pipartana |
ā́sya jānánto nā́ma cid vivaktana mahás te viṣṇo sumatím bhajāmahe ||

3 Him have ye satisfied, singers, as well as ye know, primeval germ of Order even from his birth. Ye, knowing e’en his name, have told it forth: may we, Viṣṇu, enjoy the grace of thee the Mighty One.

tám asya rā́jā váruṇas tám aśvínā krátuṃ sacanta mā́rutasya vedhásaḥ |
dādhā́ra dákṣam uttamám aharvídaṃ vrajáṃ ca víṣṇuḥ sákhivām̐ aporṇuté ||

4 The Sovran Varuṇa and both the Aśvins wait on this the will of him who guides the Marut host. Viṣṇu hath power supreme and might that finds the day, and with his Friend unbars the stable of the kine.

ā́ yó vivā́ya sacáthāya daíviya índrāya víṣṇuḥ sukŕ̥te sukŕ̥ttaraḥ |
vedhā́ ajinvat triṣadhasthá ā́riyam r̥tásya bhāgé yájamānam ā́bhajat ||

5 Even he the Heavenly One who came for fellowship, Viṣṇu to Indra, godly to the godlier, Who Maker, throned in three worlds, helps the Āryan man, and gives the worshipper his share of Holy Law.
