Rig Veda 10.77.3: Mandala 10, Sukta 77, Mantra 3

Sukta 10.77

Devata: Maruts
Chandas: Trishtubh (probable)

प्र ये दिवः पृथिव्या न बर्हणा त्मना रिरिच्रे अभ्रान्न सूर्यः । पाजस्वन्तो न वीराः पनस्यवो रिशादसो न मर्या अभिद्यवः ॥

prá ye diváḥ pṛthivyā́ ná barháṇā tmánā riricré abhrā́n ná sū́ryaḥ | pā́jasvanto ná vīrā́ḥ panasyávo riśā́daso ná maryā́ abhí-dyavaḥ ||

যারা স্বর্গ ও পৃথিবী থেকে স্ফীত স্রোতের মতো উথলে ওঠে, তারা নিজের স্বভাববলেই প্রসারিত হয়—যেমন মেঘভেদ করে সূর্য প্রসারিত হয়। বীরদের মতো দীপ্তিমান, সিদ্ধি-পুরস্কারের আকাঙ্ক্ষী; প্রতিরোধ-ভক্ষক, তরুণ যোদ্ধাদের মতো—আলোর দিকে ধাবিত হয়ে অগ্রসর হয়।
