ऋग्वेद 10.13 (श्लोक 1) - Project अर्थ (Artha)

युजे वां ब्रह्म पूर्व्यं नमोभिर्वि श्लोक एतु पथ्येव सूरेः । शृण्वन्तु विश्वे अमृतस्य पुत्रा आ ये धामानि दिव्यानि तस्थुः ॥

yuje vāṃ brahma pūrvyaṃ namobhirvi śloka etu pathyeva sūreḥ | śṛṇvantu viśve amṛtasya putrā ā ye dhāmāni divyāni tasthuḥ ||

I load you two with sacred offerings, repeating an ancient prayer; may the sound (of your approach)reach (the gods) like the path of the worshipper, may all the sons of the immortal (Prajāpati) who inhabit thecelestial regions hear (the sound).

यमे इव यतमाने यदैतं प्र वां भरन्मानुषा देवयन्तः । आ सीदतं स्वमु लोकं विदाने स्वासस्थे भवतमिन्दवे नः ॥

yame iva yatamāne yadaitaṃ pra vāṃ bharanmānuṣā devayantaḥ | ā sīdataṃ svamu lokaṃ vidāne svāsasthe bhavatamindave naḥ ||

When you two came, like twins, busily engaged, then devout worshipper brought you forward;knowing your plural ce there abide and be fair storehouses for our Soma.

पञ्च पदानि रुपो अन्वरोहं चतुष्पदीमन्वेमि व्रतेन । अक्षरेण प्रति मिम एतामृतस्य नाभावधि सं पुनामि ॥

pañca padāni rupo anvarohaṃ catuṣpadīmanvemi vratena | akṣareṇa prati mima etāmṛtasya nābhāvadhi saṃ punāmi ||

I make the five stages of the sacrifice ascend; I take four steps by pious observances; with the sacredsyllable, I perfect this (adoration); I purify (the Soma) on the navel of the sacrifice.

देवेभ्यः कमवृणीत मृत्युं प्रजायै कममृतं नावृणीत । बृहस्पतिं यज्ञमकृण्वत ऋषिं प्रियां यमस्तन्वं प्रारिरेचीत् ॥

devebhyaḥ kamavṛṇīta mṛtyuṃ prajāyai kamamṛtaṃ nāvṛṇīta | bṛhaspatiṃ yajñamakṛṇvata ṛṣiṃ priyāṃ yamastanvaṃ prārirecīt ||

Whom has he selected as the slayer of the gods? Whom has he not selected as non-slayer of theabove mentioned are necessarily present while the business of the bringing of the oblation is in progress, yamadoes not send any of hie men as the destroyer. Another translation: What death did he choose for the gods, whatimmortality did he not choose for men? i.e., Yama ordained that gods should not die, and that men should receiveimmortality; Yama preserves our loved bodies: prārirecit = takes away (from death), mṛtyoḥ saka- śātpariharati; 'ric' is here used in the sense of taking away; the meaning is: he does not take our life away as aconsequence of a fault arising from a defect in our worship].

सप्त क्षरन्ति शिशवे मरुत्वते पित्रे पुत्रासो अप्यवीवतन्नृतम् । उभे इदस्योभयस्य राजत उभे यतेते उभयस्य पुष्यतः ॥

sapta kṣaranti śiśave marutvate pitre putrāso apyavīvatannṛtam | ubhe idasyobhayasya rājata ubhe yatete ubhayasya puṣyataḥ ||

The seven (metres) offer laudation to the glorious, the adorable parent, (the Soma), his sons (thepriests) utter his true (praise); you both are lords of both (men and gods), you both exert yourselves and are thenourishers of both (men and gods).
