9.76.1

dha̱rtā di̱vaḥ pa̍vate̱ kṛtvyo̱ raso̱ dakṣo̍ de̱vānā̍m anu̱mādyo̱ nṛbhi̍ḥ |
hari̍ḥ sṛjā̱no atyo̱ na satva̍bhi̱r vṛthā̱ pājā̍ṁsi kṛṇute na̱dīṣv ā ||

ON flows the potent juice, sustainer of the heavens, the strength of Gods, whom men must hail with shouts of joy. The Gold-hued, started like a courser by brave men, impetuously winneth splendour in the streams.

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

9.76.2

śūro̱ na dha̍tta̱ āyu̍dhā̱ gabha̍styo̱ḥ sva1̱̍ḥ siṣā̍san rathi̱ro gavi̍ṣṭiṣu |
indra̍sya̱ śuṣma̍m ī̱raya̍nn apa̱syubhi̱r indu̍r hinvā̱no a̍jyate manī̱ṣibhi̍ḥ ||

He takes his weapons, like a hero, in his hands, fain to win light, car-borne, in forays for the kine. Indu, while stimulating India's might, is urged forward and balmed by sages skilful in their task.

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

9.76.3

indra̍sya soma̱ pava̍māna ū̱rmiṇā̍ tavi̱ṣyamā̍ṇo ja̱ṭhare̱ṣv ā vi̍śa |
pra ṇa̍ḥ pinva vi̱dyud a̱bhreva̱ roda̍sī dhi̱yā na vājā̱m̐ upa̍ māsi̱ śaśva̍taḥ ||

Soma, as thou art purified with flowing wave, exhibiting thy strength enter thou Indra's throat. Make both worlds stream for us, as lightning doth the clouds: mete out exhaustless powers for us, as 'twere through song.

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

9.76.4

viśva̍sya̱ rājā̍ pavate sva̱rdṛśa̍ ṛ̱tasya̍ dhī̱tim ṛ̍ṣi̱ṣāḻ a̍vīvaśat |
yaḥ sūrya̱syāsi̍reṇa mṛ̱jyate̍ pi̱tā ma̍tī̱nām asa̍maṣṭakāvyaḥ ||

Onward he flows, the King of all that sees the light: the Ṛishis' Lord hath raised the song of sacrifice; Even he who is adorned with Sûrya's arrowy beam, Father of hymns, whose wisdom is beyond our reach.

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

9.76.5

vṛṣe̍va yū̱thā pari̱ kośa̍m arṣasy a̱pām u̱pasthe̍ vṛṣa̱bhaḥ kani̍kradat |
sa indrā̍ya pavase matsa̱rinta̍mo̱ yathā̱ jeṣā̍ma sami̱the tvota̍yaḥ ||

Like as a bull to herds, thou flowest to the pail, bellowing as a steer upon the water's lap. So, best of Cheerers, thou for Indra flowest on that we, with thy protection, may o'ercome in fight.

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