Sukta 34

Mantra 1

ऋभुर्विभ्वा वाज इन्द्रो नो अच्छेमं यज्ञं रत्नधेयोप यात । इदा हि वो धिषणा देव्यह्नामधात्पीतिं सं मदा अग्मता वः ॥

O Rbhu, Vibhvan, Vāja—come with Indra to this our sacrifice that bears the treasure. For now the divine Disanā of the days has set the drinking; come together to your ecstasies of delight.

Mantra 2

विदानासो जन्मनो वाजरत्ना उत ऋतुभिॠभवो मादयध्वम् । सं वो मदा अग्मत सं पुरंधिः सुवीरामस्मे रयिमेरयध्वम् ॥

Knowing your own birth and origin, O Rbhus rich in force and treasure, rejoice also with the right seasons. Let your ecstasies come together, and the power of plenitude with them; set in motion for us the wealth that brings strong and luminous offspring—an increase of inner heroism.

Mantra 3

अयं वो यज्ञ ऋभवोऽकारि यमा मनुष्वत्प्रदिवो दधिध्वे । प्र वोऽच्छा जुजुषाणासो अस्थुरभूत विश्वे अग्रियोत वाजाः ॥

This sacrifice has been fashioned for you, O Rbhus—the one you established from the far heaven, making it humanly accessible. Moving towards you, we stand as those who accept and cherish you; and all the first-going powers of force have become manifest.

Mantra 4

अभूदु वो विधते रत्नधेयमिदा नरो दाशुषे मर्त्याय । पिबत वाजा ऋभवो ददे वो महि तृतीयं सवनं मदाय ॥

A treasure-bearing portion has come to be for you, for the worshipper—here and now—for the mortal who gives. Drink, O Vājas, O Rbhus: a great third pressing has been granted to you for the ecstasy of delight.

Mantra 5

आ वाजा यातोप न ऋभुक्षा महो नरो द्रविणसो गृणानाः । आ वः पीतयोऽभिपित्वे अह्नामिमा अस्तं नवस्व इव ग्मन् ॥

Come, O Vājas; come near to us, O Rbhukṣans—great ones, lords of substance—while we hymn you. Let your drinkings come in the shared home of the days; like those who return to their own dwelling at evening, come to this our resting-place.

Mantra 6

आ नपातः शवसो यातनोपेमं यज्ञं नमसा हूयमानाः । सजोषसः सूरयो यस्य च स्थ मध्वः पात रत्नधा इन्द्रवन्तः ॥

Come, O descendants of Power, come near to this sacrifice, called with reverence. In one accord, O luminous ones, in whose presence you stand—drink the honeyed sweetness; O bearers of treasure, strengthened by Indra, take in the delight.

Mantra 7

सजोषा इन्द्र वरुणेन सोमं सजोषाः पाहि गिर्वणो मरुद्भिः । अग्रेपाभिॠतुपाभिः सजोषा ग्नास्पत्नीभी रत्नधाभिः सजोषाः ॥

In one accord, O Indra, drink the Soma with Varuṇa; in one accord, drink, O lord of the hymn, with the Maruts. In one accord with the first-drinkers, with the drinkers in the right seasons; in one accord with the wives of the gods, the treasure-bearing powers.

Mantra 8

सजोषस आदित्यैर्मादयध्वं सजोषस ऋभवः पर्वतेभिः । सजोषसो दैव्येना सवित्रा सजोषसः सिन्धुभी रत्नधेभिः ॥

In one accord rejoice with the Ādityas; in one accord, O Rbhus, with the mountains. In one accord with the divine Savitṛ; in one accord with the rivers, the treasure-bearing streams of power.

Mantra 9

ये अश्विना ये पितरा य ऊती धेनुं ततक्षुॠभवो ये अश्वा । ये अंसत्रा य ऋधग्रोदसी ये विभ्वो नरः स्वपत्यानि चक्रुः ॥

Those who became the Aśvins, those who became the Fathers, those who are the help—those Rbhus who fashioned the Cow of Light and those who fashioned the Horses of power; those who are unfailing, those who set Heaven and Earth apart in right distinction; those Vibhvan-like mighty ones who wrought works of perfect skill.

Mantra 10

ये गोमन्तं वाजवन्तं सुवीरं रयिं धत्थ वसुमन्तं पुरुक्षुम् । ते अग्रेपा ऋभवो मन्दसाना अस्मे धत्त ये च रातिं गृणन्ति ॥

You who have established the plenitude that is luminous with Rays (go-mant), rich in victorious Force (vāja-vant), and full of heroic energies (su-vīra)—a wealth (rayi) abundant and wide in its increase—O Ṛbhus, guardians of the foremost advance, rejoicing in your own inspired delight: place that same gift within us too, in those who affirm and sing the offering of your grace.

Mantra 11

नापाभूत न वोऽतीतृषामानिःशस्ता ऋभवो यज्ञे अस्मिन् । समिन्द्रेण मदथ सं मरुद्भिः सं राजभी रत्नधेयाय देवाः ॥

There has been no failure in you, nor any passing beyond the call unpraised, O Ṛbhus, in this sacrifice. Unite in the ecstasy with Indra, unite with the Maruts, unite with the Kings (the ruling powers), O Gods, for the depositing of the treasure within us.
