Rig Veda Book 1. Hymn Ii. Vayu
*
"Rig Veda", tr. by Ralph T.H. Griffith, [1896],
Hymn Ii. Vyu.
1 Beautiful Vyu, come, for thee these Soma drops have been prepared:
Drink of them, hearken to our call.
2 Knowing the days, with Soma juice poured forth, the singers glorify
Thee, Vyu, with their hymns of praise.
3 Vyu, thy penetrating stream goes forth unto the worshipper,
Far-spreading for the Soma draught.
4 These, Indra-Vyu, have been shed; come for our offered dainties sake:
The drops are yearning for you both.
5 Well do ye mark libations, ye Vyu and Indra, rich in spoil!
So come ye swiftly hitherward.
6 Vyu and Indra, come to what the Soma-presser hath prepared:
Soon, Heroes, thus I make my prayer.
7 Mitra, of holy strength, I call, and foe-destroying Varua,
Who make the oil-fed rite complete.
8 Mitra and Varua, through Law, lovers and cherishers of Law,
Have ye obtained your might power
9 Our Sages, Mitra-Varua, wide dominion, strong by birth,
Vouchsafe us strength that worketh well.
