indrā nu pūṣaṇā vayaṃ sakhyāya svastaye huvema vājasātaye
Indra and Pushan will we call for friend ship and prosperity And for the winning of the spoil.
Rig Veda
indrā nu pūṣaṇā vayaṃ sakhyāya svastaye huvema vājasātaye
Indra and Pushan will we call for friend ship and prosperity And for the winning of the spoil.
somam anya upāsadat pātave camvoḥ sutam karambham anya icchati
One by the Soma sits to drink juice which the mortar hath expressed: The other longs for curd and meal.
ajā anyasya vahnayo harī anyasya sambhṛtā tābhyāṃ vṛtrāṇi jighnate
Goats are the team that draws the one: the other hath Bay Steeds at hand; With both of these he slays the fiends.
yad indro anayad rito mahīr apo vṛṣantamaḥ tatra pūṣābhavat sacā
When Indra, wondrous strong, brought down the streams, the mighty waterfloods, Pushan was standing by his side.
This verse is not included in this edition.
To this, to Pushan's favouring love, and Indra's, may we closely cling, As to a tree's extended bough.
ut pūṣaṇaṃ yuvāmahe 'bhīśūṃr iva sārathiḥ mahyā indraṃ svastaye
As one who drives a car draws in his reins, may we draw Pushan near, And Indra, for our great success.
