1.71.1

upa̱ pra ji̍nvann uśa̱tīr u̱śanta̱m pati̱ṁ na nitya̱ṁ jana̍ya̱ḥ sanī̍ḻāḥ |
svasā̍ra̱ḥ śyāvī̱m aru̍ṣīm ajuṣrañ ci̱tram u̱cchantī̍m u̱ṣasa̱ṁ na gāva̍ḥ ||

LOVING the loving One, as wives their husband, the sisters of one home have urged him forward, Bright-coloured, even, as the cows love morning, dark, breaking forth to view, and redly beaming.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

1.71.2

vī̱ḻu ci̍d dṛ̱ḻhā pi̱taro̍ na u̱kthair adri̍ṁ ruja̱nn aṅgi̍raso̱ rave̍ṇa |
ca̱krur di̱vo bṛ̍ha̱to gā̱tum a̱sme aha̱ḥ sva̍r vividuḥ ke̱tum u̱srāḥ ||

Our sires with lauds burst e'en the firmset fortress, yea, the Angirases, with roar, the mountain. They made for us a way to reach high heaven, they found us day, light, day's sign, beams of morning.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

1.71.3

dadha̍nn ṛ̱taṁ dha̱naya̍nn asya dhī̱tim ād id a̱ryo di̍dhi̱ṣvo̱3̱̍ vibhṛ̍trāḥ |
atṛ̍ṣyantīr a̱paso̍ ya̱nty acchā̍ de̱vāñ janma̱ praya̍sā va̱rdhaya̍ntīḥ ||

They stablished order, made his service fruitful; then parting them among the longing faithful, Not thirsting after aught, they come, most active, while with sweet food the race of Gods they strengthen.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

1.71.4

mathī̱d yad ī̱ṁ vibhṛ̍to māta̱riśvā̍ gṛ̱he-gṛ̍he śye̱to jenyo̱ bhūt |
ād ī̱ṁ rājñe̱ na sahī̍yase̱ sacā̱ sann ā dū̱tya1̱̍m bhṛga̍vāṇo vivāya ||

Since Mâtariṣvan, far-diffused, bath stirred him, and he in every house grown bright and noble, He, Bhṛigu-like I hath gone as his companion, as on commission to a greater Sovran.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

1.71.5

ma̱he yat pi̱tra ī̱ṁ rasa̍ṁ di̱ve kar ava̍ tsarat pṛśa̱nya̍ś ciki̱tvān |
sṛ̱jad astā̍ dhṛṣa̱tā di̱dyum a̍smai̱ svāyā̍ṁ de̱vo du̍hi̱tari̱ tviṣi̍ṁ dhāt ||

When man poured juice to Heaven, the mighty Father, he knew and freed himself from close embracement. The archer boldly shot at him his arrow, and the God threw his splendour on his Daughter.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

1.71.6

sva ā yas tubhya̱ṁ dama̱ ā vi̱bhāti̱ namo̍ vā̱ dāśā̍d uśa̱to anu̱ dyūn |
vardho̍ agne̱ vayo̍ asya dvi̱barhā̱ yāsa̍d rā̱yā sa̱ratha̱ṁ yaṁ ju̱nāsi̍ ||

Whoso, bath flames for thee within his dwelling, or brings the worship which thou lovest daily, Do thou of double might increase his substance: may he whom thou incitest meet with riches.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

1.71.7

a̱gniṁ viśvā̍ a̱bhi pṛkṣa̍ḥ sacante samu̱draṁ na sra̱vata̍ḥ sa̱pta ya̱hvīḥ |
na jā̱mibhi̱r vi ci̍kite̱ vayo̍ no vi̱dā de̱veṣu̱ prama̍tiṁ ciki̱tvān ||

All sacrificial viands wait on Agni as the Seven mighty Rivers seek the ocean. Not by our brethren was our food discovered: find with the Gods care for us, thou who knowest.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

1.71.8

ā yad i̱ṣe nṛ̱pati̱ṁ teja̱ āna̱ṭ chuci̱ reto̱ niṣi̍kta̱ṁ dyaur a̱bhīke̍ |
a̱gniḥ śardha̍m anava̱dyaṁ yuvā̍naṁ svā̱dhya̍ṁ janayat sū̱daya̍c ca ||

When light bath filled the Lord of men for increase, straight from the heaven descends the limpid moisture. Agni bath brought to light and filled with spirit the youthful host blameless and well providing.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

1.71.9

mano̱ na yo 'dhva̍naḥ sa̱dya ety eka̍ḥ sa̱trā sūro̱ vasva̍ īśe |
rājā̍nā mi̱trāvaru̍ṇā supā̱ṇī goṣu̍ pri̱yam a̱mṛta̱ṁ rakṣa̍māṇā ||

He who like thought goes swiftly on his journey, the Sun, alone is ever Lord of riches. The Kings with fair hands, Varuṇa and Mitra, protect the precious nectar in our cattle.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1889, The Hymns of the Rigveda

1.71.10

mā no̍ agne sa̱khyā pitryā̍ṇi̱ pra ma̍rṣiṣṭhā a̱bhi vi̱duṣ ka̱viḥ san |
nabho̱ na rū̱paṁ ja̍ri̱mā mi̍nāti pu̱rā tasyā̍ a̱bhiśa̍ste̱r adhī̍hi ||

O Agni, break not our ancestral friendship, Sage as thou art, endowed with deepest knowledge. Old age, like gathering cloud, impairs the body: before that evil be come nigh protect me.
