ṛbhu̍kṣaṇo vājā mā̱daya̍dhvam a̱sme na̍ro maghavānaḥ su̱tasya̍ |
ā vo̱ 'rvāca̱ḥ krata̍vo̱ na yā̱tāṁ vibhvo̱ ratha̱ṁ narya̍ṁ vartayantu ||

YE liberal Heroes, Vâjas and Ṛibhukshans, come and delight you with our flowing Soma. May your strength, Vibhûs, as ye come to meet us, turn hitherward your car that brings men profit.

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

7.48.2

ṛ̱bhur ṛ̱bhubhi̍r a̱bhi va̍ḥ syāma̱ vibhvo̍ vi̱bhubhi̱ḥ śava̍sā̱ śavā̍ṁsi |
vājo̍ a̱smām̐ a̍vatu̱ vāja̍sātā̱v indre̍ṇa yu̱jā ta̍ruṣema vṛ̱tram ||

May we as Ṛibhu with your Ṛibhus conquer strength with our strength, as Vibhûs with the Vibhûs. May Vâja aid us in the fight for booty, and helped by Indra may we quell the foeman.

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

7.48.3

te ci̱d dhi pū̱rvīr a̱bhi santi̍ śā̱sā viśvā̍m̐ a̱rya u̍pa̱ratā̍ti vanvan |
indro̱ vibhvā̍m̐ ṛbhu̱kṣā vājo̍ a̱ryaḥ śatro̍r mitha̱tyā kṛ̍ṇava̱n vi nṛ̱mṇam ||

For they rule many tribes with high dominion, and conquer all their foes in close encounter. May Indra, Vibhvan, Vâja, and Ṛibhukshan destroy by turns the wicked foeman's valour.

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

7.48.4

nū de̍vāso̱ vari̍vaḥ kartanā no bhū̱ta no̱ viśve 'va̍se sa̱joṣā̍ḥ |
sam a̱sme iṣa̱ṁ vasa̍vo dadīran yū̱yam pā̍ta sva̱stibhi̱ḥ sadā̍ naḥ ||

Now, Deities, give us ample room and freedom: be all of you, one-minded, our protection. So let the Vasus grant us strength and vigour. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
