Rig Veda
takṣan rathaṃ suvṛtaṃ vidmanāpasas takṣan harī indravāhā vṛṣaṇvasū takṣan pitṛbhyām ṛbhavo yuvad vayas takṣan vatsāya mātaraṃ sacābhuvam
Working with skill they wrought the lightly rolling car: they wrought the Bays who bear Indra and bring great gifts. The Ribhus for their Parents made life young again; and fashioned for the calf a mother by its side.
ā no yajñāya takṣata ṛbhumad vayaḥ kratve dakṣāya suprajāvatīm iṣam yathā kṣayāma sarvavīrayā viśā tan naḥ śardhāya dhāsathā sv indriyam
For sacrifice make for us active vital power for skill and wisdom food with noble progeny. Grant to our company this power most excellent, that with a family all-heroic we may dwell.
ā takṣata sātim asmabhyam ṛbhavaḥ sātiṃ rathāya sātim arvate naraḥ sātiṃ no jaitrīṃ sam maheta viśvahā jāmim ajāmim pṛtanāsu sakṣaṇim
Do ye, O Ribhus, make prosperity for us, prosperity for car, ye Heroes, and for steed. Grant us prosperity victorious evermore, conquering foes in battle, strangers or akin.
ṛbhukṣaṇam indram ā huva ūtaya ṛbhūn vājān marutaḥ somapītaye ubhā mitrāvaruṇā nūnam aśvinā te no hinvantu sātaye dhiye jiṣe
Indra, the Ribhus' Lord, I invocate for aid, the Ribhus, Vajas, Maruts to the Soma draught. Varuna, Mitra, both, yea, and the Asvins Twain: let them speed us to wealth, wisdom, and victory.
ṛbhur bharāya saṃ śiśātu sātiṃ samaryajid vājo asmāṁ aviṣṭu tan no mitro varuṇo māmahantām aditiḥ sindhuḥ pṛthivī uta dyauḥ
May Ribhu send prosperity for battle, may Vaja conquering in the fight protect us. This prayer of ours may Varuna grant, and Mitra, and Aditi and Sindhu, Earth and Heaven.
