Vol. 10 - Collected Works of T. V. Kapali Sastry


RIGVEDA SAMHITA : Mandala I




HYMN 111

Rishi : KUTSA Deity: RIBHUS

  1. The Ribhus of skilled works wrought a well-built car; they wrought the steeds bearing Indra and showering wealth. The Ribhus made life youthful for theia parents; they fashioned for the calf a mother by its hide.

  2. For our sacrifice prepare knowledge with your splendour; for skill and action-wise, fashion impulsion with happy succession. Confer for our strength such Indra-Power that we may live happily with all-heroic progeny.

  3. Ribhus, leaders, do ye make prowess for us, for our chariots, and for steed. Let all regard high every day our victorious prowess and may we conquer foes in battle, kinsmen or other.

  4. I invoke Indra dwelling with the Ribhus, and the Ribhus, Vajas, Maruts, to drink the Soma juice; and indeed both Mitra and Varuna and the Ashvins. May they speed us to power, wisdom and victory.

  5. May Ribhus make ready wealth for war. May Vajr victorious in battle protect us. And may Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, Ocean, Earth and Heaven, grant it.
