Rig Veda 5.51

1
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

With all assistants, Agni, come hither to drink the Soma-juice; With Gods unto our sacred gifts.

2
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Come to the sacrifice, O ye whose ways are right, whose laws are true, And drink the draught with Agni's tongue.

3
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

O Singer, with the singers, O Gracious, with those who move at dawn, Come to the Soma-draught with Gods.

4
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

To Indra and to Vayu dear, this Soma, by the mortar pressed, Is now poured forth to fill the jar.

5
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Vayu, come hither to the feast, well pleased unto our sacred gifts: Drink of the Soma juice effused come to the food.

6
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Ye, Indra, Vayu, well deserve to drink the juices pressed by us. Gladly accept them, spotless Pair come to the food.

7
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

For Indra and for Vayu pressed are Soma juices blent with curd, As rivers to the lowland flow: come to the food.

8
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Associate with all the Gods, come, with the Asvins and with Dawn, Agni, as erst with Atri, so enjoy the juice.

9
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Associate with Varuna, with Mitra, Soma, Vishnu, come, Agni, as erstwith Atri, so enjoy the juice.

10
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Associate with Vasus, with Adityas, Indra, Viyu, come, Agni as erst with Atri, so enjoy the juice.

11
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

May Bhaga and the Asvins grant us health and wealth, and Goddess Adid and he whom none resist. The Asura Pushan grant us all prosperity, and Heaven and Earth most wise vouchsafe us happiness.

12
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Let us solicit Vayu for prosperity, and Soma who is Lord of all the world for weal; For weal Brihaspati with all his company. May the Adityas bring us health and happiness.

13
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

May all the Gods, may Agni the beneficent, God of all men, this day be with us for our weal. Help us the Ribhus, the Divine Ones, for our good. May Rudra bless and keep us from calamity.

14
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Prosper us, Mitra, Varuna. O wealthy Pathya, prosper us. Indra and Agni, prosper us; prosper us thou, O Aditi.

15
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Like Sun and Moon may we pursue in full prosperity our path, And meet with one who gives again, -who knows us well and slays us not.
