1.83.1

aśvā̍vati pratha̱mo goṣu̍ gacchati suprā̱vīr i̍ndra̱ martya̱s tavo̱tibhi̍ḥ |
tam it pṛ̍ṇakṣi̱ vasu̍nā̱ bhavī̍yasā̱ sindhu̱m āpo̱ yathā̱bhito̱ vice̍tasaḥ ||

INDRA, the mortal man well guarded by thine aid goes foremost in the wealth of horses and of kine. With amplest wealth thou fillest him, as round about the waters clearly seen afar fill Sindhu full.

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

1.83.2

āpo̱ na de̱vīr upa̍ yanti ho̱triya̍m a̱vaḥ pa̍śyanti̱ vita̍ta̱ṁ yathā̱ raja̍ḥ |
prā̱cair de̱vāsa̱ḥ pra ṇa̍yanti deva̱yum bra̍hma̱priya̍ṁ joṣayante va̱rā i̍va ||

The heavenly Waters come not nigh the priestly bowl: they but look down and see how far mid-air is spread: The Deities conduct the pious man to them: like suitors they delight in him who loveth prayer.

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

1.83.3

adhi̱ dvayo̍r adadhā u̱kthya1̱̍ṁ vaco̍ ya̱tasru̍cā mithu̱nā yā sa̍pa̱ryata̍ḥ |
asa̍ṁyatto vra̱te te̍ kṣeti̱ puṣya̍ti bha̱drā śa̱ktir yaja̍mānāya sunva̱te ||

Praiseworthy blessing hast thou laid upon the pair who with uplifted ladle serve thee, man and wife. Unchecked he dwells and prospers in thy law: thy power brings blessing to the sacrificer pouring gifts.

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

1.83.4

ād aṅgi̍rāḥ pratha̱maṁ da̍dhire̱ vaya̍ i̱ddhāgna̍ya̱ḥ śamyā̱ ye su̍kṛ̱tyayā̍ |
sarva̍m pa̱ṇeḥ sam a̍vindanta̱ bhoja̍na̱m aśvā̍vanta̱ṁ goma̍nta̱m ā pa̱śuṁ nara̍ḥ ||

First the Angirases won themselves vital power, whose fires were kindled through good deeds and sacrifice. The men together found the Paṇi's hoarded wealth, the cattle, and the wealth in horses and in kine.

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

1.83.5

ya̱jñair atha̍rvā pratha̱maḥ pa̱thas ta̍te̱ tata̱ḥ sūryo̍ vrata̱pā ve̱na āja̍ni |
ā gā ā̍jad u̱śanā̍ kā̱vyaḥ sacā̍ ya̱masya̍ jā̱tam a̱mṛta̍ṁ yajāmahe ||

Atharvan first by sacrifices laid the paths then, guardian of the Law, sprang up the loving Sun. Uṣanâ Kâvya straightway hither drove the kine. Let us with offerings honour Yama's deathless birth.

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

1.83.6

ba̱rhir vā̱ yat sva̍pa̱tyāya̍ vṛ̱jyate̱ 'rko vā̱ śloka̍m ā̱ghoṣa̍te di̱vi |
grāvā̱ yatra̱ vada̍ti kā̱rur u̱kthya1̱̍s tasyed indro̍ abhipi̱tveṣu̍ raṇyati ||

When sacred grass is trimmed to aid the auspicious work, or the hymn makes its voice of praise sound to the sky. Where the stone rings as'twere a singer skilled in laud, --Indra in truth delights when these come near to him.
