[rv-4-18] • 13 श्लोकाः

अयं पन्था अनुवित्तः पुराणो यतो देवा उदजायन्त विश्वे । अतश्चिदा जनिषीष्ट प्रवृद्धो मा मातरममुया पत्तवे कः ॥

ayaṃ panthā anuvittaḥ purāṇo yato devā udajāyanta viśve | ataścidā janiṣīṣṭa pravṛddho mā mātaramamuyā pattave kaḥ ||

Indra speaks: This is the old and recognized path by which all the gods are born; so, when full-grown, let him be born in the same manner; let him not cause the loss of this his mother.

नाहमतो निरया दुर्गहैतत्तिरश्चता पार्श्वान्निर्गमाणि । बहूनि मे अकृता कर्त्वानि युध्यै त्वेन सं त्वेन पृच्छै ॥

nāhamato nirayā durgahaitattiraścatā pārśvānnirgamāṇi | bahūni me akṛtā kartvāni yudhyai tvena saṃ tvena pṛcchai ||

Vāmadeva speaks: Let me not come forth by this path, for it is difficult (of issue); let me come forth obliquely from the side; many acts unperformed by others are to be accomplished by me; let me contend (in war) with one (enemy), in controversy with one opponent.

परायतीं मातरमन्वचष्ट न नानु गान्यनु नू गमानि । त्वष्टुर्गृहे अपिबत्सोममिन्द्रः शतधन्यं चम्वोः सुतस्य ॥

parāyatīṃ mātaramanvacaṣṭa na nānu gānyanu nū gamāni | tvaṣṭurgṛhe apibatsomamindraḥ śatadhanyaṃ camvoḥ sutasya ||

He, (Indra), has asserted (that it will) cause the death of my mother; let me not proceed by the usual way, but proceed quickly, according (to my will); in the dwelling of Tvaṣṭā Indra drank the costly Soma from the vessels of the offerers.

किं स ऋधक्कृणवद्यं सहस्रं मासो जभार शरदश्च पूर्वीः । नही न्वस्य प्रतिमानमस्त्यन्तर्जातेषूत ये जनित्वाः ॥

kiṃ sa ṛdhakkṛṇavadyaṃ sahasraṃ māso jabhāra śaradaśca pūrvīḥ | nahī nvasya pratimānamastyantarjāteṣūta ye janitvāḥ ||

Aditi speaks: What irregular act has he committed whom (I, his mother), bore for a thousand months and for many years? there is no analogy between him and those who have been or will be born.

अवद्यमिव मन्यमाना गुहाकरिन्द्रं माता वीर्येणा न्यृष्टम् । अथोदस्थात्स्वयमत्कं वसान आ रोदसी अपृणाज्जायमानः ॥

avadyamiva manyamānā guhākarindraṃ mātā vīryeṇā nyṛṣṭam | athodasthātsvayamatkaṃ vasāna ā rodasī apṛṇājjāyamānaḥ ||

Deeming it disreputable (that he should be brought forth) in secret, his mother endowed (Indra) with (extraordinary) vigour; therefore, as soon as born he sprung up of his own accord, invested with splendour, and filled both heaven and earth.

एता अर्षन्त्यललाभवन्तीॠतावरीरिव संक्रोशमानाः । एता वि पृच्छ किमिदं भनन्ति कमापो अद्रिं परिधिं रुजन्ति ॥

etā arṣantyalalābhavantīṝtāvarīriva saṃkrośamānāḥ | etā vi pṛccha kimidaṃ bhananti kamāpo adriṃ paridhiṃ rujanti ||

These (rivers) flew murmuring as if, being filled with water, they were uttering sounds (of joy); ask them what is this they say; what is the encompassing cloud that the waters break through?

किमु ष्विदस्मै निविदो भनन्तेन्द्रस्यावद्यं दिधिषन्त आपः । ममैतान्पुत्रो महता वधेन वृत्रं जघन्वाँ असृजद्वि सिन्धून् ॥

kimu ṣvidasmai nivido bhanantendrasyāvadyaṃ didhiṣanta āpaḥ | mamaitānputro mahatā vadhena vṛtraṃ jaghanvā~ asṛjadvi sindhūn ||

What do the sacred expiatory strains declare to me? the waters reeive the reproach of Indra; my son has slain Vṛtra with the mighty thunderbolt; he has set those rivers free.

ममच्चन त्वा युवतिः परास ममच्चन त्वा कुषवा जगार । ममच्चिदापः शिशवे ममृड्युर्ममच्चिदिन्द्रः सहसोदतिष्ठत् ॥

mamaccana tvā yuvatiḥ parāsa mamaccana tvā kuṣavā jagāra | mamaccidāpaḥ śiśave mamṛḍyurmamaccidindraḥ sahasodatiṣṭhat ||

Vāmadeva speaks: exulting one youthful mother brought you forth; exulting, Kuṣavā swallowed you; exulting, the waters gave delight to the infant; Indra, exulting, rose up by his strength.

ममच्चन ते मघवन्व्यंसो निविविध्वाँ अप हनू जघान । अधा निविद्ध उत्तरो बभूवाञ्छिरो दासस्य सं पिणग्वधेन ॥

mamaccana te maghavanvyaṃso nivividhvā~ apa hanū jaghāna | adhā nividdha uttaro babhūvāñchiro dāsasya saṃ piṇagvadhena ||

Vyaṃsa, exulting and striking (hard blows), smote you, Maghavan, upon the jaw; whereupon, being so smitten, you proved the stronger, and did crush the head of the slave with the thunderbolt.

गृष्टिः ससूव स्थविरं तवागामनाधृष्यं वृषभं तुम्रमिन्द्रम् । अरीऴ्हं वत्सं चरथाय माता स्वयं गातुं तन्व इच्छमानम् ॥

gṛṣṭiḥ sasūva sthaviraṃ tavāgāmanādhṛṣyaṃ vṛṣabhaṃ tumramindram | arīḻhaṃ vatsaṃ carathāya mātā svayaṃ gātuṃ tanva icchamānam ||

As a helper bears a calf, his mother, (Aditi), bore Indra, mature (in years), strong, irresisitble, vigorous, energetic, invincible, (destined) to follow his own course, heedful of his person n.

उत माता महिषमन्ववेनदमी त्वा जहति पुत्र देवाः । अथाब्रवीद्वृत्रमिन्द्रो हनिष्यन्त्सखे विष्णो वितरं वि क्रमस्व ॥

uta mātā mahiṣamanvavenadamī tvā jahati putra devāḥ | athābravīdvṛtramindro haniṣyantsakhe viṣṇo vitaraṃ vi kramasva ||

His mother inquired of the mighty Indra, have these deities deserted you, my son? then Indra and Viṣṇu, my friend (if you) purpose slaying Vṛtra exert your greatest prowess.

कस्ते मातरं विधवामचक्रच्छयुं कस्त्वामजिघांसच्चरन्तम् । कस्ते देवो अधि मार्डीक आसीद्यत्प्राक्षिणाः पितरं पादगृह्य ॥

kaste mātaraṃ vidhavāmacakracchayuṃ kastvāmajighāṃsaccarantam | kaste devo adhi mārḍīka āsīdyatprākṣiṇāḥ pitaraṃ pādagṛhya ||

Who has made your mother a widow? who has sought to slay the sleeping and the walking? what deity has been more gracious than you since you have slain the father, having seized him by the foot?

अवर्त्या शुन आन्त्राणि पेचे न देवेषु विविदे मर्डितारम् । अपश्यं जायाममहीयमानामधा मे श्येनो मध्वा जभार ॥

avartyā śuna āntrāṇi pece na deveṣu vivide marḍitāram | apaśyaṃ jāyāmamahīyamānāmadhā me śyeno madhvā jabhāra ||

In extreme destitution I have cooked the entrails of a dog; I have not found a comforter among the gods; I have beheld my wife disrsepected; then the falcon, (Indra), has brought to me sweet water.
