6 Extend afar the votary's fame and glory, as the firm archer's strength drives off the foeman.
Ranged on our side, grown strong in might that conquers, never defeated, still increase thy body.

ayā̭ iva̱ pari̭ caranti de̱vā ye a̱smabhya̭ṃ dhana̱dā u̱dbhida̭śca || 10-116-9||

9 I send sweet speech to Indra and to Agni:- with hymns I speed it like a boat through waters.
Even thus, the Gods seem moving round about me, the fountains and bestowers of our riches.

Sukta: 117/191 (9)

RV 10-117-1

न वा उ॑ दे॒वाः क्षुध॒मिद्व॒धं द॑दुरु॒ताशि॑त॒मुप॑ गच्छन्ति मृ॒त्यवः॑ ।

u̱to ra̱yiḥ pṛ̭ṇa̱to nopa̭ dasyatyu̱tāpṛ̭ṇanmarḍi̱tāra̱ṃ na vi̭ndate || 10-117-1||

1. THE Gods have not ordained hunger to be our death:- even to the well-fed man comes death in varied shape.
The riches of the liberal never waste away, while he who will not give finds none to comfort him.

RV 10-117-2

य आ॒ध्राय॑ चकमा॒नाय॑ पि॒त्वोऽन्न॑वा॒न्सन्र॑फि॒तायो॑पज॒ग्मुषे॑ ।

Hardens his heart against him-even when of old he did him service-finds not one to comfort him.

3 Bounteous is he who gives unto the beggar who comes to him in want of food and feeble.
Success attends him in the shout of battle. He makes a friend of him in future troubles.

apā̭smā̱tpreyā̱nna tadoko̭ asti pṛ̱ṇanta̭ma̱nyamara̭ṇaṃ cidicchet || 10-117-4||

4 No friend is he who to his friend and comrade who comes imploring food, will offer nothing.
Let him depart-no home is that to rest in-, and rather seek a stranger to support him.

RV 10-117-5

पृ॒णी॒यादिन्नाध॑मानाय॒ तव्या॒न्द्राघी॑यांस॒मनु॑ पश्येत॒ पन्था॑म् ।

ओ हि वर्त॑न्ते॒ रथ्ये॑व च॒क्रान्यम॑न्य॒मुप॑ तिष्ठन्त॒ रायः॑ ॥ १०-११७-५॥

o hi varta̭nte̱ rathyḙva ca̱krānyama̭nya̱mupa̭ tiṣṭhanta̱ rāya̭ḥ || 10-117-5||

5 Let the rich satisfy the poor implorer, and bend his eye upon a longer pathway.
Riches come now to one, now to another, and like the wheels of cars are ever rolling.

RV 10-117-6

मोघ॒मन्नं॑ विन्दते॒ अप्र॑चेताः स॒त्यं ब्र॑वीमि व॒ध इत्स तस्य॑ ।

नार्य॒मणं॒ पुष्य॑ति॒ नो सखा॑यं॒ केव॑लाघो भवति केवला॒दी ॥ १०-११७-६॥

nārya̱maṇa̱ṃ puṣya̭ti̱ no sakhā̭ya̱ṃ keva̭lāgho bhavati kevalā̱dī || 10-117-6||

6 The foolish man wins food with fruitless labour:- that food -I speak the truth- shall be his ruin.
He feeds no trusty friend, no man to love him. All guilt is he who eats with no partaker.

RV 10-117-7

कृ॒षन्नित्फाल॒ आशि॑तं कृणोति॒ यन्नध्वा॑न॒मप॑ वृङ्क्ते च॒रित्रैः॑ ।

vada̭nbra̱hmāva̭dato̱ vanī̭yānpṛ̱ṇannā̱pirapṛ̭ṇantama̱bhi ṣyā̭t || 10-117-7||

7 The ploughshare ploughing makes the food that feeds us, and with its feet cuts through the path it follows.
Better the speaking than the silent Brahman:- the liberal friend outyalues him who gives not.

RV 10-117-8

एक॑पा॒द्भूयो॑ द्वि॒पदो॒ वि च॑क्रमे द्वि॒पात्त्रि॒पाद॑म॒भ्ये॑ति प॒श्चात् ।

8 He with one foot hath far outrun the biped, and the two-footed catches the three-footed.
Four-footed creatures come when bipeds call them, and stand and look where five are met together.

ya̱mayo̭ści̱nna sa̱mā vī̱ryā̭ṇi jñā̱tī ci̱tsantau̱ na sa̱maṃ pṛ̭ṇītaḥ || 10-117-9||

9 The hands are both alike:- their labour differs. The yield of sister milch-kine is unequal.
Twins even diffier in their strength and vigour:- two, even kinsmen, differ in their bounty.

3 Darkness there was:- at first concealed in darkness this All was indiscriminated chaos.

6 Who verily knows and who can here declare it, whence it was born and whence comes this creation?

2 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 Sāma-hymns their weaving shuttles.

viśvā̭nde̱vāñjaga̱tyā vi̭veśa̱ tena̭ cākḷpra̱ ṛṣa̭yo manu̱ṣyā̭ḥ || 10-130-5||

5 Virāj adhered to Varuṇa and Mitra:- here Triṣṭup day by day was Indra's portion.
Jagatī entered all the Gods together:- so by this knowledge men were raised to Ṛṣis.

RV 10-130-6

चा॒कॢ॒प्रे तेन॒ ऋष॑यो मनु॒ष्या॑ य॒ज्ञे जा॒ते पि॒तरो॑ नः पुरा॒णे ।

paśya̭nmanye̱ mana̭sā̱ cakṣa̭sā̱ tānya i̱maṃ ya̱jñamaya̭janta̱ pūrvḙ || 10-130-6||

With the mind's eye I think that I behold them who first performed this sacrificial worship.

4 That other, Asura! too was born of Heaven. thou art, O Varuṇa, the King of all men.

When the Steed bringeth down your grace and favour in bodies dear and worshipful.
