10.130.1

yo ya̱jño vi̱śvata̱s tantu̍bhis ta̱ta eka̍śataṁ devaka̱rmebhi̱r āya̍taḥ |
i̱me va̍yanti pi̱taro̱ ya ā̍ya̱yuḥ pra va̱yāpa̍ va̱yety ā̍sate ta̱te ||

THE sacrifice drawn out with threads on every side, stretched by a hundred sacred ministers and one,– This do these Fathers weave who hitherward are come: they sit beside the warp and cry, Weave forth, weave back.

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

10.130.2

pumā̍m̐ enaṁ tanuta̱ ut kṛ̍ṇatti̱ pumā̱n vi ta̍tne̱ adhi̱ nāke̍ a̱smin |
i̱me ma̱yūkhā̱ upa̍ sedur ū̱ sada̱ḥ sāmā̍ni cakru̱s tasa̍rā̱ṇy ota̍ve ||

The Man extends it and the Man unbinds it: even to this vault of heaven hath he outspun, it. These pegs are fastened to the seat of worship: they made the Sâma-hymns their weaving shuttles.

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

10.130.3

kāsī̍t pra̱mā pra̍ti̱mā kiṁ ni̱dāna̱m ājya̱ṁ kim ā̍sīt pari̱dhiḥ ka ā̍sīt |
chanda̱ḥ kim ā̍sī̱t praü̍ga̱ṁ kim u̱kthaṁ yad de̱vā de̱vam aya̍janta̱ viśve̍ ||

What were the rule, the order and the model? What were the wooden fender and the butter? What were the hymn, the chant, the recitation, when to the God all Deities paid worship?

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

10.130.4

a̱gner gā̍ya̱try a̍bhavat sa̱yugvo̱ṣṇiha̍yā savi̱tā sam ba̍bhūva |
a̱nu̱ṣṭubhā̱ soma̍ u̱kthair maha̍svā̱n bṛha̱spate̍r bṛha̱tī vāca̍m āvat ||

Closely was Gâyatrî conjoined with Agni, and closely Savitar combined with Ushṇih. Brilliant with Ukthas, Soma joined Anushṭup: Bṛihaspati's voice by Bṛihatî was aided.

10.130.5

vi̱rāṇ mi̱trāvaru̍ṇayor abhi̱śrīr indra̍sya tri̱ṣṭub i̱ha bhā̱go ahna̍ḥ |
viśvā̍n de̱vāñ jaga̱ty ā vi̍veśa̱ tena̍ cākḷpra̱ ṛṣa̍yo manu̱ṣyā̍ḥ ||

Virâj adhered to Varuṇa and Mitra: here Trishṭup day by day was Indra's portion. Jagatî entered all the Gods together: so by this knowledge men were raised to Ṛishis.

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

10.130.6

cā̱kḷ̱pre tena̱ ṛṣa̍yo manu̱ṣyā̍ ya̱jñe jā̱te pi̱taro̍ naḥ purā̱ṇe |
paśya̍n manye̱ mana̍sā̱ cakṣa̍sā̱ tān ya i̱maṁ ya̱jñam aya̍janta̱ pūrve̍ ||

So by this knowledge men were raised to Ṛishis, when ancient sacrifice sprang up, our Fathers. With the mind's eye I think that I behold them who first performed this sacrificial worship.

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

10.130.7

sa̱hasto̍māḥ sa̱hacha̍ndasa ā̱vṛta̍ḥ sa̱hapra̍mā̱ ṛṣa̍yaḥ sa̱pta daivyā̍ḥ |
pūrve̍ṣā̱m panthā̍m anu̱dṛśya̱ dhīrā̍ a̱nvāle̍bhire ra̱thyo̱3̱̍ na ra̱śmīn ||

They who were versed in ritual and metre, in hymns and rules, were the Seven Godlike Ṛishis. Viewing the path of those of old, the sages have taken up the reins like chariot-drivers.
