Rig Veda

Mandal - 10 (Part - 10)

HYMN 178 Tarksya

1

THIS very mighty one whom Gods commission, the Conqueror of cars, ever triumphant,
Swift, fleet to battle, with uninjured fellies, even Tarksya for our weal will we call hither.

2

As though we offered up our gifts to Indra, may we ascend. him as a ship. for safety.
Like the two wide worlds, broad, deep far-extended, may we be safe both when he comes and leaves you.

3

He who with might the Five Lands hath pervaded, like Surya with his lustre, and the waters-
His strength wins hundreds, thousands none avert it, as- the young maid repelleth not her lover.
