1.XX Ṛbhus

ayáṃ devā́ya jánmane stómo víprebhir āsayā́ |
ákāri ratnadhā́tamaḥ ||

1 FOR the Celestial Race this song of praise which gives wealth lavishly Was made by singers with their lips.

yá índrāya vacoyújā tatakṣúr mánasā hárī |
śámībhir yajñám āśata ||

2 They who for Indra, with their mind, formed horses harnessed by a word, Attained by works to sacrifice.

tákṣan nā́satiyābhiyām párijmānaṃ sukháṃ rátham |
tákṣan dhenúṃ sabardúghām ||

3 They for the two Nāsatyas wrought a light car moving every way: They formed a nectar-yielding cow.

yúvānā pitárā púnaḥ satyámantrā r̥jūyávaḥ |
r̥bhávo viṣṭí akrata ||

4 The Ṛbhus with effectual prayers, honest, with constant labour, made Their Sire and Mother young again.

sáṃ vo mádāso agmata índreṇa ca marútvatā |
ādityébhiś ca rā́jabhiḥ ||

5 Together came your gladdening drops with Indra by the Maruts girt, With the Ādityas, with the Kings.

utá tyáṃ camasáṃ návaṃ tváṣṭur devásya níṣkr̥tam |
ákarta catúraḥ púnaḥ ||

6 The sacrificial ladle, wrought newly by the God Tvaṣṭar's hand—Four ladles have ye made thereof.

té no rátnāni dhattana trír ā́ sā́ptāni sunvaté |
ékam-ekaṃ suśastíbhiḥ ||

7 Vouchsafe us wealth, to him who pours thrice seven libations, yea, to each Give wealth, pleased with our eulogies.

ádhārayanta váhnayo ábhajanta sukr̥tyáyā |
bhāgáṃ devéṣu yajñíyam ||

8 As ministering Priests they held, by pious acts they won themselves, A share in sacrifice with Gods.
