Rig Veda
anaśvo jāto anabhīśur ukthyo rathas tricakraḥ pari vartate rajaḥ mahat tad vo devyasya pravācanaṃ dyām ṛbhavaḥ pṛthivīṃ yac ca puṣyatha
This car that was not made for horses or for reins, three-wheeled, worthy of lauds, rolls round the firmament. That is the great announcement of your Deity, that, O ye Ribhus, ye sustain the earth and heaven.
rathaṃ ye cakruḥ suvṛtaṃ sucetaso 'vihvarantam manasas pari dhyayā tāṁ ū nv asya savanasya pītaya ā vo vājā ṛbhavo vedayāmasi
Ye Sapient Ones who made the lightly-rolling car out of your mind, by thought, the car that never errs, You, being such, to drink of this drink offering, you, O ye Vajas, and ye Ribhus, we invoke.
tad vo vājā ṛbhavaḥ supravācanaṃ deveṣu vibhvo abhavan mahitvanam jivrī yat santā pitarā sanājurā punar yuvānā carathāya takṣatha
O Vajas, Ribhus, reaching far, among the Gods this was your exaltation gloriously declared, In that your aged Parents, worn with length of days, ye wrought again to youth so that they moved at will.
ekaṃ vi cakra camasaṃ caturvayaṃ niś carmaṇo gām ariṇīta dhītibhiḥ athā deveṣv amṛtatvam ānaśa śruṣṭī vājā ṛbhavas tad va ukthyam
The chalice that wag single ye have made fourfold, and by your wisdom brought the Cow forth from the hide. So quickly, mid the Gods, ye gained immortal life. Vajas and Ribhus, your great work must be extolled.
ṛbhuto rayiḥ prathamaśravastamo vājaśrutāso yam ajījanan naraḥ vibhvataṣṭo vidatheṣu pravācyo yaṃ devāso 'vathā sa vicarṣaṇiḥ
Wealth from the Ribhus is most glorious in renown, that which the Heroes, famed for vigour, have produced. In synods must be sung the car which Vibhvan wrought: that which ye favour, Gods! is famed among mankind.
sa vājy arvā sa ṛṣir vacasyayā sa śūro astā pṛtanāsu duṣṭaraḥ sa rāyas poṣaṃ sa suvīryaṃ dadhe yaṃ vājo vibhvāṁ ṛbhavo yam āviṣuḥ
Strong is the steed, the man a sage in eloquence, the bowman is a hero hard to beat in fight, Great store of wealth and manly power hath he obtained whom Vaja, Vibhvan, Ribhus have looked kindly on.
śreṣṭhaṃ vaḥ peśo adhi dhāyi darśataṃ stomo vājā ṛbhavas taṃ jujuṣṭana dhīrāso hi ṣṭhā kavayo vipaścitas tān va enā brahmaṇā vedayāmasi
To you hath been assigned the fairest ornament, the hymn of praise: Vajas and Ribhus, joy therein; For ye have lore and wisdom and poetic skill: as such, with this our prayer we call on you to come.
yūyam asmabhyaṃ dhiṣaṇābhyas pari vidvāṃso viśvā naryāṇi bhojanā dyumantaṃ vājaṃ vṛṣaśuṣmam uttamam ā no rayim ṛbhavas takṣatā vayaḥ
According to the wishes of our hearts may ye, who have full knowledge of all the delights of men, Fashion for us, O Ribhus, power and splendid wealth, rich in high courage, excellent, and vital strength.
iha prajām iha rayiṃ rarāṇā iha śravo vīravat takṣatā naḥ yena vayaṃ citayemāty anyān taṃ vājaṃ citram ṛbhavo dadā naḥ
Bestowing on us here riches and offspring, here fashion fame for us befitting heroes. Vouchsafe us wealth of splendid sort, O Ribhus, that we may make us more renowned than others.
