Rig Veda
amandān stomān pra bhare manīṣā sindhāv adhi kṣiyato bhāvyasya yo me sahasram amimīta savān atūrto rājā śrava icchamānaḥ
With wisdom I present these lively praises of Bhavya dweller on the bank of Sindhu; For he, unconquered King, desiring glory, hath furnished me a thousand sacrifices.
śataṃ rājño nādhamānasya niṣkāñchatam aśvān prayatān sadya ādam śataṃ kakṣīvāṁ asurasya gonāṃ divi śravo 'jaram ā tatāna
A hundred necklets from the King, beseeching, a hundred gift-steeds I at once accepted; Of the lord's cows a thousand, I Kakshivan. His deathless glory hath he spread to heaven.
upa mā śyāvāḥ svanayena dattā vadhūmanto daśa rathāso asthuḥ ṣaṣṭiḥ sahasram anu gavyam āgāt sanat kakṣīvāṁ abhipitve ahnām
Horses of dusky colour stood beside me, ten chariots, Svanaya's gift, with mares to draw them. Kine numbering sixty thousand followed after. Kakshivan gained them when the days were closing.
catvāriṃśad daśarathasya śoṇāḥ sahasrasyāgre śreṇiṃ nayanti madacyutaḥ kṛśanāvato atyān kakṣīvanta ud amṛkṣanta pajrāḥ
Forty bay horses of the ten cars' master before a thousand lead the long procession. Reeling in joy Kakshivan's sons and Pajra's have grounded the coursers decked with pearly trappings.
pūrvām anu prayatim ā dade vas trīn yuktāṁ aṣṭāv aridhāyaso gāḥ subandhavo ye viśyā iva vrā anasvantaḥ śrava aiṣanta pajrāḥ
An earlier gift for you have I accepted eight cows, good milkers, and three harnessed horses, Pajras, who with your wains with your great kinsman, like troops of subjects, have been fain for glory.
āgadhitā parigadhitā yā kaśīkeva jaṅgahe dadāti mahyaṃ yādurī yāśūnām bhojyā śatā
[Ille loquitur]. Adhaerens, arcte adhaerens, illa quae mustelae similis se abdidit, multum humorem effundens, dat mihi complexuum centum gaudia.
upopa me parā mṛśa mā me dabhrāṇi manyathāḥ sarvāham asmi romaśā gandhārīṇām ivāvikā
[Ille loquitur]. Prope, prope accede; molliter me tange. Ne putes pilos corporis mei-paucos esse: tota sum villosa sicut Gandharium ovis.
