Rig Veda 4.37.1: Mandala 4, Sukta 37, Mantra 1

Sukta 4.37

Rishi: Vāmadeva Gautama (traditional attribution for Maṇḍala 4; hymn to the Rbhus/associated powers)
Devata: Rbhus (esp. Vāja, Ṛbhukṣaṇa) as divine artisans; invoked also as devāḥ (luminous powers)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable for RV 4.37; 11-syllable cadence typical of the hymn)
Samhita Patha (Devanagari)

उप नो वाजा अध्वरमृभुक्षा देवा यात पथिभिर्देवयानैः । यथा यज्ञं मनुषो विक्ष्वासु दधिध्वे रण्वाः सुदिनेष्वह्नाम् ॥

Transliteration

úpa no vājā adhvarám ṛbhukṣā devā yāta pathíbhir devayā́naiḥ | yáthā yajñáṃ mánuṣo vikṣvā̀su dadhidhvé raṇvāḥ sudíneṣv áhnām ||

Translation

হে বাজগণ, হে ঋভুক্ষাণগণ, হে দেবগণ—আমাদের অধ্বর (যজ্ঞ)-এর নিকটে এসো; দেবযান পথ ধরে এসো। যেমন তোমরা মানুষের জনসমূহের মধ্যে যজ্ঞ স্থাপন করেছিলে, তেমনই আমাদের জন্যও—রমনীয়ভাবে—আমাদের জীবনের শুভ দিনগুলিতে তাকে পুনরায় স্থাপন করো।
