ajā̍taśatrum a̱jarā̱ sva̍rva̱ty anu̍ sva̱dhāmi̍tā da̱smam ī̍yate |
su̱nota̍na̱ paca̍ta̱ brahma̍vāhase puruṣṭu̱tāya̍ prata̱raṁ da̍dhātana ||

BOUNDLESS and wasting not, the heavenly food of Gods goes to the foeless One, doer of wondrous deeds. Press out, make ready, offer gifts with special zeal to him whom many laud, accepter of the prayer.

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

5.34.2

ā yaḥ some̍na ja̱ṭhara̱m api̍pra̱tāma̍ndata ma̱ghavā̱ madhvo̱ andha̍saḥ |
yad ī̍m mṛ̱gāya̱ hanta̍ve ma̱hāva̍dhaḥ sa̱hasra̍bhṛṣṭim u̱śanā̍ va̱dhaṁ yama̍t ||

He who filled full his belly with the Soma's juice, Maghavan, was delighted with the meath's sweet draught, When Uṣanâ, that he might slay the monstrous beast, gave him the mighty weapon with a thousand points.

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

5.34.3

yo a̍smai ghra̱ṁsa u̱ta vā̱ ya ūdha̍ni̱ soma̍ṁ su̱noti̱ bhava̍ti dyu̱mām̐ aha̍ |

Illustrious is the man whoever presseth out Soma for him in sunshine or in cloud and rain. The mighty Maghavan who is the sage's Friend advanceth more and more his beauteous progeny.

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

5.34.4

yasyāva̍dhīt pi̱tara̱ṁ yasya̍ mā̱tara̱ṁ yasya̍ śa̱kro bhrāta̍ra̱ṁ nāta̍ īṣate |
vetīd v a̍sya̱ praya̍tā yataṁka̱ro na kilbi̍ṣād īṣate̱ vasva̍ āka̱raḥ ||

The Strong God doth not flee away from him whose sire, whose mother or whose brother he hath done to death. He, the Avenger, seeketh this man's offered gifts: this God, the source of riches, doth not flee from sin.

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

5.34.5

na pa̱ñcabhi̍r da̱śabhi̍r vaṣṭy ā̱rabha̱ṁ nāsu̍nvatā sacate̱ puṣya̍tā ca̱na |
ji̱nāti̱ ved a̍mu̱yā hanti̍ vā̱ dhuni̱r ā de̍va̱yum bha̍jati̱ goma̍ti vra̱je ||

He seeks no enterprise with five or ten to aid, nor stays with him who pours no juice though prospering well. The Shaker conquers or slays in this way or that, and to the pious gives a stable full of kine.

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

5.34.6

vi̱tvakṣa̍ṇa̱ḥ samṛ̍tau cakramāsa̱jo 'su̍nvato̱ viṣu̍ṇaḥ sunva̱to vṛ̱dhaḥ |
indro̱ viśva̍sya dami̱tā vi̱bhīṣa̍ṇo yathāva̱śaṁ na̍yati̱ dāsa̱m ārya̍ḥ ||

Exceeding strong in war he stays the chariot wheel, and, hating him who pours not, prospers him who pours. Indra the terrible, tamer of every man, as Ârya leads away the Dâsa at his will.

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

5.34.7

sam ī̍m pa̱ṇer a̍jati̱ bhoja̍nam mu̱ṣe vi dā̱śuṣe̍ bhajati sū̱nara̱ṁ vasu̍ |
du̱rge ca̱na dhri̍yate̱ viśva̱ ā pu̱ru jano̱ yo a̍sya̱ tavi̍ṣī̱m acu̍krudhat ||

He gathers up for plunder all the niggard's gear: excellent wealth he gives to him who offers gifts. Not even in wide stronghold may all the folk stand firm who have provoked to anger his surpassing might.

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

5.34.8

saṁ yaj janau̍ su̱dhanau̍ vi̱śvaśa̍rdhasā̱v ave̱d indro̍ ma̱ghavā̱ goṣu̍ śu̱bhriṣu̍ |
yuja̱ṁ hy a1̱̍nyam akṛ̍ta pravepa̱ny ud ī̱ṁ gavya̍ṁ sṛjate̱ satva̍bhi̱r dhuni̍ḥ ||

When Indra Maghavan hath marked two wealthy men fighting for beauteous cows with all their followers, He who stirs all things takes one as his close ally, and, Shaker, with his Heroes, sends the kine to him.

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

5.34.9

sa̱ha̱sra̱sām āgni̍veśiṁ gṛṇīṣe̱ śatri̍m agna upa̱māṁ ke̱tum a̱ryaḥ |
tasmā̱ āpa̍ḥ sa̱ṁyata̍ḥ pīpayanta̱ tasmi̍n kṣa̱tram ama̍vat tve̱ṣam a̍stu ||

Agni! I laud the liberal Âgniveṣi, Ṣatri the type and standard of the pious. May the collected waters yield him plenty, and his be powerful and bright dominion.
