Sukta 9

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

तत् त्वा यामि सुवीर्यं तद् ब्रह्म पूर्वचित्तये । येना यतिभ्यो भृगवे धने हिते येन प्रस्कण्वमाविथ

IAST Transliteration

tát tvā yā́mi suvī́ryaṃ tád bráhma pū́rvacittayé | yéna yátibhyo bhṛ́gave dháne hité yéna práskāṇvam ā́vitha ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

To that thy noble hero-might I come; to that dread prayer, for ancient forethought: Wherewith thou helpedst Bhṛgu for the wealth set forth, wherewith thou didst befriend Praskaṇva.

Translation

তোমাৰ সেই সু-বীৰ্য (উত্তম বীৰশক্তি)লৈ মই আগবাঢ়োঁ; সেই ভয়ংকৰ ব্ৰহ্ম-মন্ত্ৰলৈ, পুৰাতন প্ৰজ্ঞাৰ বাবে। যাৰ দ্বাৰা তুমি ভৃগুক ধন-হিতত সহায় কৰিলা, যাৰ দ্বাৰা তুমি প্ৰস্কণ্বক অনুগ্ৰহ কৰিলা।
