RIGVEDA SAMHITA : Mandala I

HYMN 105

Rishi: TRITA Deity: VISHVEDEVAH

Soma lies within the Waters. Well-winged, he speeds across the firmament. Golden-rimmed, flashing, (my doings) attain not your source. Mark this my state⁶⁰

Though the Soma of delight is coursing in the Waters, he speeds everywhere in the firmament with his able wings and his golden rays are seen, their source (in Truth) is not attained by me. Hence I seek the help of the All-Gods therefor.

Earth: the wide extended physical Consciousness.

Heaven: the Higher Consciousness of Pure Mind.

They are prayed to for the ſulfilment of the Rishi.

Surely those who seek (for Wealth) obtain it. The wife approaches close to her husband and they generate the fecund essence. So do I draw the essence (of nectar) from (Soma) spread around. Mark this my state, ye Heaven and Earth.
Never may that Light, abiding above the Heaven, O Gods, fall from its station. Never may the felicitous Soma be denied (to us) by the turning away of the host of the Gods. Mark this my state, ye Heaven and Earth.
I ask the first (of the Gods), sacrifice-worthy. May he, the messenger, tell it forth. Where is gone the ancient Truth? Who other than thee bears it now? Mark this my state, ye Heaven and Earth.
Ye Gods who are present in the three shining realms of the solar light, where is your Truth, where untruth? Where is my ancient call on you? Mark this my state, ye Heaven and Earth.
Where is your support of Truth? Where the sight of Varuna? Where is the path of mighty Aryaman by which we may pass beyond the wicked? Mark this my state, ye Heaven and Earth.
He I am who recited many a secret laud when Soma was poured. Yet cares consume me as the wolf assails the thirsty deer. Mark this my state, ye Heaven and Earth.
Ribs hurt me from every side like rival wives. Doer of hundred deeds, cares consume me, singer of thy praise, like the rat gnawing the weaver’s threads. Mark this my state, ye Heaven and Earth.
There in the seven rays (of the Sun) my base is spread out. This Trita, son of the Waters, knows well. He lauds (the Gods) for companionship. Mark this my state, ye Heaven and Earth.
Five drenchers who abide ir the centre of the wide Heaven, accept anon my laud among the Gods and return together contented. Mark this my state, ye Heaven and Earth.

Five: Mitra, Varuna, Aryaman, Bhaga and Indra the monarch of the Gods.

The rays of the Sun abide in the centre of the enveloping Heaven; they drive back from the path the wolf who would cross the great Waters. Mark this my state, ye Heaven and Earth.
O Gods, the new, praiseworthy, highly commendable power is set (in ye). (With that power) the rivers urge the Truth towards us, the Sun spreads his Light. Mark this my state, ye Heaven and Earth.
Laudable, O Agni, is that thy kinship with the Gods. Most wise, seated in our sacrifice, do thou invoke and worship the Gods as in Manu’s. Mark this my state, ye Heaven and Earth.
Seated as in Manu’s (sacrifice), the summoner, most wise, luminous, Sage among the Gods, may Agni call the Gods hither and speed our offerings (to them). Mark this my state, ye Heaven and Earth.
Varuna makes the Word. We seek him who finds the way. To him (he) addresses praise from his heart. May the laudable one be realised by us. Mark this my state, ye Heaven and Earth.
The Sun in the Heaven is the path to be glorified. He cannot be transgressed by ye, O Gods. Mortals, ye behold him not. Mark this my state, ye Heaven and Earth.

It is obviously not the physical outer sun.

Trita from the well calls on the Gods for succour. Brihaspati heard the call and opened (the lid) off his distress. Mark this my state, ye Heaven and Earth.
The red wolf beheld me once going along the path. Seeing me, he rushed rearing like a carpenter with an aching back. Mark this my state, ye Heaven and Earth.
With this exulting song, may we, along with Indra, multiply strong, overcome our foes in battle. And may Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, Ocean, Earth and Heaven, grant this.
