ऋग्वेद 7.44 (श्लोक 1) - Project अर्थ (Artha)

दधिक्रां वः प्रथममश्विनोषसमग्निं समिद्धं भगमूतये हुवे । इन्द्रं विष्णुं पूषणं ब्रह्मणस्पतिमादित्यान्द्यावापृथिवी अपः स्वः ॥

dadhikrāṃ vaḥ prathamamaśvinoṣasamagniṃ samiddhaṃ bhagamūtaye huve | indraṃ viṣṇuṃ pūṣaṇaṃ brahmaṇaspatimādityāndyāvāpṛthivī apaḥ svaḥ ||

For your preservation, (worshippers), I invoke, first, Dadhikrā, then the Aśvins, the Dawn, the kindledAgni, Bhaga, Indra, Viṣṇu, Pūṣan, Brahmaṇaspati, the Ādityas, heaven and earth, the waters, the sun.

दधिक्रामु नमसा बोधयन्त उदीराणा यज्ञमुपप्रयन्तः । इऴां देवीं बर्हिषि सादयन्तोऽश्विना विप्रा सुहवा हुवेम ॥

dadhikrāmu namasā bodhayanta udīrāṇā yajñamupaprayantaḥ | iḻāṃ devīṃ barhiṣi sādayanto'śvinā viprā suhavā huvema ||

Arousing and animating Dadhikrā, proceeding diligently with the sacrifice; seating the divine Iḷā onthe sacred grass, let us invoke the intelligent and worthily-invoked Aśvins.

दधिक्रावाणं बुबुधानो अग्निमुप ब्रुव उषसं सूर्यं गाम् । ब्रध्नं माँश्चतोर्वरुणस्य बभ्रुं ते विश्वास्मद्दुरिता यावयन्तु ॥

dadhikrāvāṇaṃ bubudhāno agnimupa bruva uṣasaṃ sūryaṃ gām | bradhnaṃ mā~ścatorvaruṇasya babhruṃ te viśvāsmadduritā yāvayantu ||

Propitiating Dadhikrāvan, I glorify Agni, Uṣas, the sun, the earth, the great brown horse of Varuṇa,who is mindful of his adorers; may they put far away from us iniquities.

दधिक्रावा प्रथमो वाज्यर्वाग्रे रथानां भवति प्रजानन् । संविदान उषसा सूर्येणादित्येभिर्वसुभिरङ्गिरोभिः ॥

dadhikrāvā prathamo vājyarvāgre rathānāṃ bhavati prajānan | saṃvidāna uṣasā sūryeṇādityebhirvasubhiraṅgirobhiḥ ||

Dadhikrāvan, the swift steed, the first (of horses), knowing (his office), is in the front of the chariots (ofthe gods), consentient with Uṣas, with Sūrya, wiḥ the Ādityas, with the Vasus, with the Aṅgirasas.

आ नो दधिक्राः पथ्यामनक्त्वृतस्य पन्थामन्वेतवा उ । शृणोतु नो दैव्यं शर्धो अग्निः शृण्वन्तु विश्वे महिषा अमूराः ॥

ā no dadhikrāḥ pathyāmanaktvṛtasya panthāmanvetavā u | śṛṇotu no daivyaṃ śardho agniḥ śṛṇvantu viśve mahiṣā amūrāḥ ||

May Dadhikrā sprinkle our path (with water), that we may follow the road of sacrifice; may Agni, thestrength of the gods, here our (invocation); may the mighty, unperplexed, universal deities hear it.
