Sukta 36

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

ये देवास्तेन हासन्ते सूर्येण मिमते जवम्। नदीषु पर्वतेषु ये सं तैः पशुभिर्विदे

IAST Transliteration

yé devā́s téna hā́sante sū́ryeṇa mimate javám | nadī́ṣu párvateṣu yé sáṁ táiḥ paśúbhir vidé ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

The Gods who therewith laugh loud in triumph, who with the Sun mete out and order speed—those that are in rivers, those on mountains—with those I win me cattle and living store.

Translation

ਜੋ ਦੇਵ ਉਸ ਨਾਲ ਜਿੱਤ ਦੇ ਉਲਾਸ ਵਿੱਚ ਹੱਸਦੇ ਹਨ, ਜੋ ਸੂਰਜ ਨਾਲ ਵੇਗ ਨੂੰ ਮਾਪ ਕੇ ਠਹਿਰਾਉਂਦੇ ਹਨ—ਜੋ ਨਦੀਆਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਹਨ, ਜੋ ਪਹਾੜਾਂ ਉੱਤੇ ਹਨ—ਉਹਨਾਂ ਨਾਲ, ਉਹਨਾਂ ਪਸ਼ੂਆਂ ਸਮੇਤ, ਮੈਂ ਗਊਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਜੀਵ-ਧਨ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਕਰਦਾ ਹਾਂ।
