10.75.1

pra su va̍ āpo mahi̱māna̍m utta̱maṁ kā̱rur vo̍cāti̱ sada̍ne vi̱vasva̍taḥ |
pra sa̱pta-sa̍pta tre̱dhā hi ca̍kra̱muḥ pra sṛtva̍rīṇā̱m ati̱ sindhu̱r oja̍sā ||

THE singer, O ye Waters in Vivasvan's place, shall tell your grandeur forth that is beyond compare. The Rivers have come forward triply, seven and seven. Sindhu in might surpasses all the streams that flow.

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

10.75.2

pra te̍ 'rada̱d varu̍ṇo̱ yāta̍ve pa̱thaḥ sindho̱ yad vājā̍m̐ a̱bhy adra̍va̱s tvam |
bhūmyā̱ adhi̍ pra̱vatā̍ yāsi̱ sānu̍nā̱ yad e̍ṣā̱m agra̱ṁ jaga̍tām ira̱jyasi̍ ||

Varuṇa cut the channels for thy forward course, O Sindhu, when thou rannest on to win the race. Thou speedest o'er precipitous ridges of the earth, when thou art Lord and Leader of these moving floods.

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

10.75.3

di̱vi sva̱no ya̍tate̱ bhūmyo̱pary a̍na̱ntaṁ śuṣma̱m ud i̍yarti bhā̱nunā̍ |
a̱bhrād i̍va̱ pra sta̍nayanti vṛ̱ṣṭaya̱ḥ sindhu̱r yad eti̍ vṛṣa̱bho na roru̍vat ||

His roar is lifted up to heaven above the earth: he puts forth endless vigour with a flash of light. Like floods of rain that fall- in thunder from the cloud, so Sindhu rushes on bellowing like a bull.

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

10.75.4

a̱bhi tvā̍ sindho̱ śiśu̱m in na mā̱taro̍ vā̱śrā a̍rṣanti̱ paya̍seva dhe̱nava̍ḥ |
rāje̍va̱ yudhvā̍ nayasi̱ tvam it sicau̱ yad ā̍sā̱m agra̍m pra̱vatā̱m ina̍kṣasi ||

Like mothers to their calves, like milch kine with their milk, so, Sindhu, unto thee the roaring rivers run. Thou leadest as a warrior king thine army's wings what time thou comest in the van of these swift streams.

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

Favour ye this my laud, O Gangâ, Yamunâ, O Ṣutudrî, Parushṇî and Sarasvatî: With Asiknî, Vitastâ, O Marudvṛidhâ, O Ârjîkîyâ with Sushomâ hear my call.

tvaṁ si̍ndho̱ kubha̍yā goma̱tīṁ krumu̍m meha̱tnvā sa̱ratha̱ṁ yābhi̱r īya̍se ||

First with Tṛishṭâmâ thou art eager to flow forth, with Rasâ, and Susartu, and with Ṣvetyâ here, With Kubhâ; and with these, Sindhu and Mehatnu, thou seekest in thy course Krumu and Gomatî.

ṛjī̱ty enī̱ ruśa̍tī mahi̱tvā pari̱ jrayā̍ṁsi bharate̱ rajā̍ṁsi |
ada̍bdhā̱ sindhu̍r a̱pasā̍m a̱pasta̱māśvā̱ na ci̱trā vapu̍ṣīva darśa̱tā ||

Flashing and whitely-gleaming in her mightiness, she moves along her ample volumes through the realms, Most active of the active, Sindhu unrestrained, like to a dappled mare, beautiful, fair to see.

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

10.75.8

svaśvā̱ sindhu̍ḥ su̱rathā̍ su̱vāsā̍ hira̱ṇyayī̱ sukṛ̍tā vā̱jinī̍vatī |
ūrṇā̍vatī yuva̱tiḥ sī̱lamā̍vaty u̱tādhi̍ vaste su̱bhagā̍ madhu̱vṛdha̍m ||

Rich in good steeds is Sindhu, rich in cars and robes, rich in gold, nobly-fashioned, rich in ample wealth. Blest Sîlamâvatî and young Urnavati invest themselves with raiment rich in store of sweets.

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

10.75.9

su̱khaṁ ratha̍ṁ yuyuje̱ sindhu̍r a̱śvina̱ṁ tena̱ vāja̍ṁ saniṣad a̱sminn ā̱jau |
ma̱hān hy a̍sya mahi̱mā pa̍na̱syate 'da̍bdhasya̱ svaya̍śaso vira̱pśina̍ḥ ||

Sindhu hath yoked her car, light-rolling, drawn by steeds, and with that car shall she win booty in this fight. So have I praised its power, mighty and unrestrained, of independent glory, roaring as it runs.
