What happens in this chapter
Tarkshya, the swift one with unharmed wheels
Arishtanemi Tarkshya praises Tarkshya in trishtubh. We call here for welfare the strong steed Tarkshya, sped by the devas, mighty, who carries chariots across, whose wheel-rims are unharmed, swift, winner of battles. Calling on his gift as on Indra's, let us board him for welfare as one boards a ship. Wide earth and broad heaven, deep and vast, may we come to no harm in going or returning. Who at once with strength spread out over the five peoples, as the sun spreads the waters with light; his speed, winning hundreds and thousands, none holds back, as none holds back a young arrow.
इन्द्र॑स्येव रा॒तिमा॒जोहु॑वानाः स्व॒स्तये॒ नाव॑मि॒वा रु॑हेम ।
उर्वी॒ न पृथ्वी॒ बहु॑ले॒ गभी॑रे॒ मा वा॒मेतौ॒ मा परे॑तौ रिषाम
indrasyeva rātimājohuvānāḥ svastaye nāvamivā ruhema |
urvī na pṛthvī bahule gabhīre mā vāmetau mā paretau riṣāma
स॒द्यश्चि॒द्यः शव॑सा॒ पञ्च॑ कृ॒ष्टीः सूर्य॑ इव॒ ज्योति॑षा॒पस्त॒तान॑ ।
स॒ह॒स्र॒साः श॑त॒सा अ॑स्य॒ रंहि॒र्न स्मा॑ वरन्ते युव॒तिं न शर्या॑म्
sadyaścidyaḥ śavasā pañca kṛṣṭīḥ sūrya iva jyotiṣāpastatāna |
sahasrasāḥ śatasā asya raṃhirna smā varante yuvatiṃ na śaryām
