[rv-7-103] • 10 श्लोकाः

संवत्सरं शशयाना ब्राह्मणा व्रतचारिणः । वाचं पर्जन्यजिन्वितां प्र मण्डूका अवादिषुः ॥

saṃvatsaraṃ śaśayānā brāhmaṇā vratacāriṇaḥ | vācaṃ parjanyajinvitāṃ pra maṇḍūkā avādiṣuḥ ||

The frogs, like Brāhmaṇas, observant of their vows, practising penance throughout the year, utteraloud praises agreeable to Parjanya.

दिव्या आपो अभि यदेनमायन्दृतिं न शुष्कं सरसी शयानम् । गवामह न मायुर्वत्सिनीनां मण्डूकानां वग्नुरत्रा समेति ॥

divyā āpo abhi yadenamāyandṛtiṃ na śuṣkaṃ sarasī śayānam | gavāmaha na māyurvatsinīnāṃ maṇḍūkānāṃ vagnuratrā sameti ||

When the waters of the sky fall upon (the troop of frogs) sleeping in the (exhausted) lake like a drywater-skin; then rises together the croaking of the frogs, like the bellowing of cows when joined by their calves.

यदीमेनाँ उशतो अभ्यवर्षीत्तृष्यावतः प्रावृष्यागतायाम् । अख्खलीकृत्या पितरं न पुत्रो अन्यो अन्यमुप वदन्तमेति ॥

yadīmenā~ uśato abhyavarṣīttṛṣyāvataḥ prāvṛṣyāgatāyām | akhkhalīkṛtyā pitaraṃ na putro anyo anyamupa vadantameti ||

When the rainy season has arrived, and (Parjanya) has sent the rain upon them, thirsty and longing (forits coming), then one frog meets another croaking (his congratulations) as a child (calls to) its father withinarticulate ejaculations.

अन्यो अन्यमनु गृभ्णात्येनोरपां प्रसर्गे यदमन्दिषाताम् । मण्डूको यदभिवृष्टः कनिष्कन्पृश्निः सम्पृङ्क्ते हरितेन वाचम् ॥

anyo anyamanu gṛbhṇātyenorapāṃ prasarge yadamandiṣātām | maṇḍūko yadabhivṛṣṭaḥ kaniṣkanpṛśniḥ sampṛṅkte haritena vācam ||

One of these two congratulates the other as they are both delighting in the forthcoming of rain; thespeckled frog, leaping up repeatedly when moistened (by the shower), joins greetings with the green one.

यदेषामन्यो अन्यस्य वाचं शाक्तस्येव वदति शिक्षमाणः । सर्वं तदेषां समृधेव पर्व यत्सुवाचो वदथनाध्यप्सु ॥

yadeṣāmanyo anyasya vācaṃ śāktasyeva vadati śikṣamāṇaḥ | sarvaṃ tadeṣāṃ samṛdheva parva yatsuvāco vadathanādhyapsu ||

When one of you imitates the croaking of another as a learner (imitates) his teacher, when, loud crying,you converse (leaping) upon the waters, then the enire body is as it were developed.

गोमायुरेको अजमायुरेकः पृश्निरेको हरित एक एषाम् । समानं नाम बिभ्रतो विरूपाः पुरुत्रा वाचं पिपिशुर्वदन्तः ॥

gomāyureko ajamāyurekaḥ pṛśnireko harita eka eṣām | samānaṃ nāma bibhrato virūpāḥ purutrā vācaṃ pipiśurvadantaḥ ||

One frog has the bellowing of a cow, another the bleating of a goat; one of them is speckled, one isgreen; designated by a common appellation, they are of various colours and croaking, show themselves innumerous plural ces.

ब्राह्मणासो अतिरात्रे न सोमे सरो न पूर्णमभितो वदन्तः । संवत्सरस्य तदहः परि ष्ठ यन्मण्डूकाः प्रावृषीणं बभूव ॥

brāhmaṇāso atirātre na some saro na pūrṇamabhito vadantaḥ | saṃvatsarasya tadahaḥ pari ṣṭha yanmaṇḍūkāḥ prāvṛṣīṇaṃ babhūva ||

Like Brāhmaṇas at the Soma libation, at the Atirātra sacrifice, you are now croaking around thereplenished lake (throughout the night), for on that day of the year you frogs are everywhere about, when it is theday of the serving of the rains.

ब्राह्मणासः सोमिनो वाचमक्रत ब्रह्म कृण्वन्तः परिवत्सरीणम् । अध्वर्यवो घर्मिणः सिष्विदाना आविर्भवन्ति गुह्या न के चित् ॥

brāhmaṇāsaḥ somino vācamakrata brahma kṛṇvantaḥ parivatsarīṇam | adhvaryavo gharmiṇaḥ siṣvidānā āvirbhavanti guhyā na ke cit ||

They utter a loud cry, like brāhmaṇas when bearing the Soma libation, and reciting the perennialprayer; like ministrant priests with the gharma offering, they hid (in the hot weather) person iring (in their holes), butnow some of them appear.

देवहितिं जुगुपुर्द्वादशस्य ऋतुं नरो न प्र मिनन्त्येते । संवत्सरे प्रावृष्यागतायां तप्ता घर्मा अश्नुवते विसर्गम् ॥

devahitiṃ jugupurdvādaśasya ṛtuṃ naro na pra minantyete | saṃvatsare prāvṛṣyāgatāyāṃ taptā gharmā aśnuvate visargam ||

These leaders of rites observe the instrumental tutes of the gods and disregard not the (appropriate) season ofthe twelve month; as the year revolves, and the rains return then, scorched and heated, they obtain freedom(from their hiding- plural ces).

गोमायुरदादजमायुरदात्पृश्निरदाद्धरितो नो वसूनि । गवां मण्डूका ददतः शतानि सहस्रसावे प्र तिरन्त आयुः ॥

gomāyuradādajamāyuradātpṛśniradāddharito no vasūni | gavāṃ maṇḍūkā dadataḥ śatāni sahasrasāve pra tiranta āyuḥ ||

May the cow-toned, the goat-toned, the speckled, the green (frog, severally) grant us riches! May thefrogs in the fertilizing (season of the rain), bestowing upon us hundreds of cows, prolong (our) lives!
