Rig Veda 7.37

1
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Let your best-bearing car that must be lauded, ne'er injured, bring you Vajas and Ribhukshans. Fill you, fair-helmeted! with mighty Soma, thrice-mixed, at our libations to delight you.

English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Ye who behold the light of heaven, Ribhukshans, give our rich patrons unmolested riches. Drink, heavenly-natured. at our sacrifices, and give us bounties for the hymns we sing you.

English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

For thou, O Bounteous One, art used to giving, at parting treasure whether small or ample. Filled full are both thine arms with great possessions: thy goodness keeps thee not from granting riches.

Indra, high-famed, as Vaja and Ribhukshans, thou goest working, singing to the dwelling. Lord of Bay Steeds, this day may we Vasishthas offer our prayers to thee and bring oblations.

English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Thou winnest swift advancement for thy servant, through hymns, Lord of Bay Steeds, which thou hast favoured. For thee with friendly succour have we battled, and when, O Indra, wilt thou grant us riches?

6
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

To us thy priests a home, as 'twere, thou givest: when, Indra wilt thou recognize our praises? May thy strong Steed, through our ancestral worship, bring food and wealth with heroes to our dwelling.

English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Though Nirriti the Goddess reigneth round him, Autumns with food in plenty come to Indra. With three close Friends to length of days he cometh, he whom men let not rest at home in quiet.

8
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Promise us gifts, O Savitar: may riches come unto us in Parvata's full bounty. May the Celestial Guardian still attend us. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
