ऋग्वेद 5.48 (श्लोक 5) - Project अर्थ (Artha)

कदु प्रियाय धाम्ने मनामहे स्वक्षत्राय स्वयशसे महे वयम् । आमेन्यस्य रजसो यदभ्र आँ अपो वृणाना वितनोति मायिनी ॥

kadu priyāya dhāmne manāmahe svakṣatrāya svayaśase mahe vayam | āmenyasya rajaso yadabhra ā~ apo vṛṇānā vitanoti māyinī ||

When may we offer adoration to the benevolent splendour, strong in its own (strength), self-sustaining with food, deserving of worship; when the delusive (energy of Agni), investing (the heavens), spreads the waters above the clouds over the unbounded firmament.

ता अत्नत वयुनं वीरवक्षणं समान्या वृतया विश्वमा रजः । अपो अपाचीरपरा अपेजते प्र पूर्वाभिस्तिरते देवयुर्जनः ॥

tā atnata vayunaṃ vīravakṣaṇaṃ samānyā vṛtayā viśvamā rajaḥ | apo apācīraparā apejate pra pūrvābhistirate devayurjanaḥ ||

These dawns diffuse the consciousness that is apprehended by pious men, and (overspread) the whole world with uniform, investing (light); the devout man disregards the dawns which have turned back, and (those which) are to come, and improves (his understanding) by those which have proceeded.

आ ग्रावभिरहन्येभिरक्तुभिर्वरिष्ठं वज्रमा जिघर्ति मायिनि । शतं वा यस्य प्रचरन्त्स्वे दमे संवर्तयन्तो वि च वर्तयन्नहा ॥

ā grāvabhirahanyebhiraktubhirvariṣṭhaṃ vajramā jigharti māyini | śataṃ vā yasya pracarantsve dame saṃvartayanto vi ca vartayannahā ||

(Animated) by the libations offered by day and by night, (Indra) sharpens his vast thunderbolt against the beguiler (Vṛtra); he whose hundred (rays) attend him in his own abode, sending away, and bringing back (revolving) days.

तामस्य रीतिं परशोरिव प्रत्यनीकमख्यं भुजे अस्य वर्पसः । सचा यदि पितुमन्तमिव क्षयं रत्नं दधाति भरहूतये विशे ॥

tāmasya rītiṃ paraśoriva pratyanīkamakhyaṃ bhuje asya varpasaḥ | sacā yadi pitumantamiva kṣayaṃ ratnaṃ dadhāti bharahūtaye viśe ||

(I behold) the practice of that (Agni) as of a deputy (or axe); I celebrate the host (of rays) of that (resplendent) form, (designed) for the enjoyment (of mankind); if he be with (the worshipper), he bestows upon the man who invokes him at a sacrifice such opulence as a mansion abounding with food.

स जिह्वया चतुरनीक ऋञ्जते चारु वसानो वरुणो यतन्नरिम् । न तस्य विद्म पुरुषत्वता वयं यतो भगः सविता दाति वार्यम् ॥

sa jihvayā caturanīka ṛñjate cāru vasāno varuṇo yatannarim | na tasya vidma puruṣatvatā vayaṃ yato bhagaḥ savitā dāti vāryam ||

Blazing with his (fiery) tongue in the four quarters (of the horizon) he proceeds (to the sacrifice), wearing beautiful (lustre), the disperser of darkness, extirpating foes; we know him not (as endowed) with manhood, whereby this adorable Savitā bestows desirable (wealth).
