3 verses · 53 of 104
Maharshi Vasishtha, son of Mitra and Varuna, bows in trishtubh verse to Dyava-Prithivi, Heaven and Earth, vast and worthy of worship. The poets of old set these two in front, the parents whose children are the Devas. Vasishtha asks his people to praise the first-born pair with new hymns in the seat of Rta, and calls them to come with the divine host and spread their great shelter. Many treasures are theirs to give, he says, as they gave to King Sudas; let them grant the same to us.
प्र द्यावा॑ य॒ज्ञैः पृ॑थि॒वी नमो॑भिः स॒बाध॑ ईळे बृह॒ती यज॑त्रे ।
ते चि॒द्धि पूर्वे॑ क॒वयो॑ गृ॒णन्त॑ः पु॒रो म॒ही द॑धि॒रे दे॒वपु॑त्रे
pra dyāvā yajñaiḥ pṛthivī namobhiḥ sabādha īḻe bṛhatī yajatre |
te ciddhi pūrve kavayo gṛṇantaḥ puro mahī dadhire devaputre
प्र पू॑र्व॒जे पि॒तरा॒ नव्य॑सीभिर्गी॒र्भिः कृ॑णुध्वं॒ सद॑ने ऋ॒तस्य॑ ।
आ नो॑ द्यावापृथिवी॒ दैव्ये॑न॒ जने॑न यातं॒ महि॑ वां॒ वरू॑थम्
pra pūrvaje pitarā navyasībhirgīrbhiḥ kṛṇudhvaṃ sadane ṛtasya |
ā no dyāvāpṛthivī daivyena janena yātaṃ mahi vāṃ varūtham
उ॒तो हि वां॑ रत्न॒धेया॑नि॒ सन्ति॑ पु॒रूणि॑ द्यावापृथिवी सु॒दासे॑ ।
अ॒स्मे ध॑त्तं॒ यदस॒दस्कृ॑धोयु यू॒यं पा॑त स्व॒स्तिभि॒ः सदा॑ नः
uto hi vāṃ ratnadheyāni santi purūṇi dyāvāpṛthivī sudāse |
asme dhattaṃ yadasadaskṛdhoyu yūyaṃ pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ
