RV 62 (2)

Rig Veda · translated by Ralph T.H. Griffith

2 This man, most diligent, seeking after riches, incessantly invokes you for your favour. 3 O Indra−Varuna, ours be this treasure ours be wealth, Maruts, with full store of heroes. 4 Be pleased! with our oblations, thou loved of all Gods, Brhaspati: 5 At sacrifices, with your hymns worship the pure Brhaspati− 6 The Bull of men, whom none deceive, the wearer of each shape at will, 7 Divine, resplendent Pusan, this our newest hymn of eulogy, 8 Accept with favour this my song, be gracious to the earnest thought, 9 May he who sees all living things, see, them together at a glancc,− 10 May we attain that excellent glory of Savitar the God: 11 With understanding, earnestly, of Savitar the God we crave 12 Men, singers worship Savitar the God with hymn and holy rites, 13 Soma who gives success goes forth, goes to the gathering place of Gods, 14 To us and to our cattle may Soma give salutary food, 15 May Soma, strengthening our power of life, and conquering our foes, 16 May Mitra−Varuna, sapient Pair, bedew our pasturage with oil, 17 Far−ruling, joyful when adored, ye reign through majesty of might, 18 Lauded by Jamadagni's song, sit in the place of holy Law:

Saturnia lends the lash; the coursers fly; Smooth glides the chariot through the liquid sky. Heaven’s gates spontaneous open to the powers, Heaven’s golden gates, kept by the winged Hours. Commission’d in alternate watch they stand, The sun’s bright portals and the skies command; Close, or unfold, the eternal gates of day Bar heaven with clouds, or roll those clouds away. The sounding hinges ring, the clouds divide. Prone down the steep of heaven their course they guide. But Jove, incensed, from Ida’s top survey’d, And thus enjoin’d the many-colour’d maid.
