18.1.1
ओ चित्सखायं सख्या ववृत्यां तिरः पुरू चिदर्णवं जगन्वान् ।
पितुर्नपातमा दधीत वेधा अधि क्षमि प्रतरं दीध्यानः ॥ १८.१.१ ॥
Let me turn back in friendship to my friend, who has crossed many waters and the ocean. May the Creator (Vedhās) set the grandson of the father upon the earth, shining higher.
18.1.2
न ते सखा सख्यं वष्ट्येतत्सलक्ष्मा यद्विषुरूपा भवति ।
महस्पुत्रासो असुरस्य वीरा दिवो धर्तार उर्विया परि ख्यन् ॥ १८.१.२ ॥
Your friend does not desire this friendship, for though bearing the same mark he becomes of a different form. The heroic sons of the great Asura, the supporters of heaven, look out widely around.
18.1.3
उशन्ति घा ते अमृतास एतदेकस्य चित्त्यजसं मर्त्यस्य ।
नि ते मनो मनसि धाय्यस्मे जन्युः पतिस्तन्वमा विविष्याः ॥ १८.१.३ ॥
The immortals too desire this, even to forsake one mortal. Let your mind be placed in our mind; O husband, begetter, enter into my body.
18.1.4
न यत्पुरा चकृमा कद्ध नूनमृतं वदन्तो अनृतं रपेम ।
गन्धर्वो अप्स्वप्या च योषा सा नौ नाभिः परमं जामि तन् नौ ॥ १८.१.४ ॥
What we did not do before, how indeed shall we do it now? Speaking truth, may we not stray into falsehood. The Gandharva born in the waters, and the woman — she is our supreme kinship-navel, our body.
18.1.5
गर्भे नु नौ जनिता दम्पती कर्देवस्त्वष्टा सविता विश्वरूपः ।
नकिरस्य प्र मिनन्ति व्रतानि वेद नावस्य पृथिवी उत द्यौः ॥ १८.१.५ ॥
In the womb itself, which god formed the pair who begot us both — Tvaṣṭar, Savitṛ, the all-formed? No one violates his ordinances; earth and heaven know him, and us both.
18.1.6
को अद्य युङ्क्ते धुरि गा ऋतस्य शिमीवतो भामिनो दुर्हृणायून् ।
आसन्निषून् हृत्स्वसो मयोभून् य एषां भृत्यामृणधत्स जीवात् ॥ १८.१.६ ॥
Who today yokes those cows to the pole of cosmic order, the vigorous, fiery, hard-to-tame ones? At their mouths were arrows, in their hearts well-being; let him who accomplishes their service live.
18.1.7
को अस्य वेद प्रथमस्याह्नः क ईं ददर्श क इह प्र वोचत् ।
बृहन् मित्रस्य वरुणस्य धाम कदु ब्रव आहनो वीच्या नॄन् ॥ १८.१.७ ॥
Who knows this first day? Who has seen it? Who here will declare it? The great abode of Mitra and Varuṇa — how then shall I speak of that day to men?
18.1.8
यमस्य मा यम्यं काम आगन्त्समाने योनौ सहशेय्याय ।
जायेव पत्ये तन्वं रिरिच्यां वि चिद्वृहेव रथ्येव चक्रा ॥ १८.१.८ ॥
The twin desire of Yama has come to me, to lie together in one womb. As a wife lays open her body to her husband, so would I lay open my body; as the wheels of a great chariot part, so would I part.
18.1.9
न तिष्ठन्ति न नि मिषन्त्येते देवानां स्पश इह ये चरन्ति ।
अन्येन मदाहनो याहि तूयं तेन वि वृह रथ्येव चक्रा ॥ १८.१.९ ॥
These messengers of the gods who roam here neither stand still nor blink. Go quickly away from me to another, O traveller of the day; part from him, as the wheels of a chariot part.
18.1.10
रात्रीभिरस्मा अहभिर्दशस्येत्सूर्यस्य चक्षुर्मुहुरुन् मिमीयात् ।
दिवा पृथिव्या मिथुना सबन्धू यमीर्यमस्य विवृहादजामि ॥ १८.१.१० ॥
Let him grant it to him through nights and days; let the sun's eye measure out again and again. With Yamī, the kinswoman who is paired like heaven and earth, let him separate Yama's unrelated one.
18.1.11
आ घा ता गच्छान् उत्तरा युगानि यत्र जामयः कृणवन्न् अजामि ।
उप बर्बृहि वृषभाय बाहुमन्यमिच्छस्व सुभगे पतिं मत् ॥ १८.१.११ ॥
Let the two go on to the later ages, where kinswomen make not-kin. O fortunate one, raise your arm for the bull; seek another man, other than me, as your husband.
18.1.12
किं भ्रातासद्यदनाथं भवाति किमु स्वसा यन् निर्ऋतिर्निगछात् ।
काममूता बह्वेतद्रपामि तन्वा मे तन्वं सं पिपृग्धि ॥ १८.१.१२ ॥
What would become of a brother if he were left without a protector, or of a sister if misfortune came upon her? Moved by desire I speak much of this; join my body together with your body.
18.1.13
न ते नाथं यम्यत्राहमस्मि न ते तनूं तन्वा सं पपृच्याम् ।
अन्येन मत्प्रमुदः कल्पयस्व न ते भ्राता सुभगे वष्ट्येतत् ॥ १८.१.१३ ॥
O Yamī, I am not your protector here, nor will I join your body with my body. Arrange your delight with another, other than me; O fortunate one, your brother does not desire this.
18.1.14
न वा उ ते तनूं तन्वा सं पिपृच्यां पापमाहुर्यः स्वसारं निगच्छात् ।
असंयदेतन् मनसो हृदो मे भ्राता स्वसुः शयने यच्छयीय ॥ १८.१.१४ ॥
I will never join your body with my body; they call the one who goes to his sister a sinner. This is not the unrestraint of my mind and heart, that a brother should lie in his sister's bed.
18.1.15
बतो बतासि यम नैव ते मनो हृदयं चाविदामा ।
अन्या किल त्वां कक्ष्येव युक्तं परि ष्वजातौ लिबुजेव वृक्षम् ॥ १८.१.१५ ॥
Alas, alas! O Yama, you are not like that; we have not found your mind and heart. Another woman will embrace you as a girth embraces the yoked horse, as a creeper clings round a tree.
18.1.16
अन्यमू षु यम्यन्य उ त्वां परि ष्वजातौ लिबुजेव वृक्षम् ।
तस्य वा त्वं मन इछा स वा तवाधा कृणुष्व संविदं सुभद्राम् ॥ १८.१.१६ ॥
Another, O Yamī, another embraces you as a creeper embraces a tree. Desire his mind, or he yours; then make a fair agreement.
18.1.17
त्रीणि च्छन्दांसि कवयो वि येतिरे पुरुरूपं दर्शतं विश्वचक्षणम् ।
आपो वाता ओषधयस्तान्येकस्मिन् भुवन आर्पितानि ॥ १८.१.१७ ॥
The seers have stretched out three metres, many-formed, visible, all-seeing. Waters, winds, and plants — these are all placed in one world.
18.1.18
वृषा वृष्णे दुदुहे दोहसा दिवः पयांसि यह्वो अदितेरदाभ्यः ।
विश्वं स वेद वरुणो यथा धिया स यज्ञियो यजति यज्ञियामृतून् ॥ १८.१.१८ ॥
The rain-giving bull milks from heaven for the bull, the milk-yielding, great and unfailing nourishment of Aditi. Varuṇa knows all things by his wisdom; worthy of sacrifice, he sacrifices to the sacrificial seasons.
18.1.19
रपद्गन्धर्वीरप्या च योषणा नदस्य नादे परि पातु नो मनः ।
इष्टस्य मध्ये अदितिर्नि धातु नो भ्राता नो ज्येष्ठः प्रथमो वि वोचति ॥ १८.१.१९ ॥
May the Gandharvīs, the Apsarases, and the women guard our mind in the roar of the river. In the midst of the offering, may Aditi establish us; may our eldest brother, the first, proclaim it.
18.1.20
सो चित्नु भद्रा क्षुमती यशस्वत्युषा उवास मनवे स्वर्वती ।
यदीमुशन्तमुशतामनु क्रतुमग्निं होतारं विदथाय जीजनन् ॥ १८.१.२० ॥
She indeed, auspicious, rich in food, glorious Dawn, shone forth full of light for Manu, when those who desire, following their wish, generated Agni the priest for the sacrifice.
18.1.21
अध त्यं द्रप्सं विभ्वं विचक्षनं विराभरदिषिरः श्येनो अध्वरे ।
यदी विशो वृणते दस्ममार्या अग्निं होतारमध धीरजायत ॥ १८.१.२१ ॥
Then the swift falcon bore hither that drop-like, all-pervading far-seer at the sacrifice; when the clans and the noble ones choose the wondrous Agni as priest, then insight is born.
18.1.22
सदासि रण्वो यवसेव पुष्यते होत्राभिरग्ने मनुषः स्वध्वरः ।
विप्रस्य वा यच्छशमान उक्थ्यो वाजं ससवामुपयासि भूरिभिः ॥ १८.१.२२ ॥
O Agni, you are always delightful, you thrive like grass in the good sacrifice of man, together with the offerings. O Agni worthy of praise of the inspired seer, when you are praised, you draw near, having gained strength by many means.
18.1.23
उदीरय पितरा जार आ भगमियक्षति हर्यतो हृत्त इष्यति ।
विवक्ति वह्निः स्वपस्यते मखस्तविष्यते असुरो वेपते मती ॥ १८.१.२३ ॥
Stir up the two parents; the beloved desires to sacrifice for his portion. From the heart he longs; the bearer speaks, the lord of the rite works skilfully, the mighty one grows strong and trembles with thought.
18.1.24
यस्ते अग्ने सुमतिं मर्तो अख्यत्सहसः सूनो अति स प्र शृण्वे ।
इषं दधानो वहमानो अश्वैरा स द्युमाममवान् भूषति द्यून् ॥ १८.१.२४ ॥
O Agni, whichever mortal has regarded your kindly favour, O son of strength, he becomes renowned afar; bearing food, bringing it with horses, he, radiant and strong, adorns the days.
18.1.25
श्रुधी नो अग्ने सदने सधस्थे युक्ष्वा रथममृतस्य द्रवित्नुम् ।
आ नो वह रोदसी देवपुत्रे माकिर्देवानामप भूरिह स्याः ॥ १८.१.२५ ॥
O Agni, hear us; in the common seat yoke the swift chariot of the immortal. Bring hither for us the two worlds, sons of the gods; never be far from the gods, but be here.
18.1.26
यदग्न एषा समितिर्भवाति देवी देवेषु यजता यजत्र ।
रत्ना च यद्विभजासि स्वधावो भागं नो अत्र वसुमन्तं वीतात् ॥ १८.१.२६ ॥
O Agni, when this divine assembly becomes worshipful among the gods, and O possessor of self-sustenance, when you distribute the treasures, let a share rich in wealth be granted to us here.
18.1.27
अन्वग्निरुषसामग्रमख्यदन्वहानि प्रथमो जातवेदाः ।
अनु सूर्य उषसो अनु रश्मीन् द्यावापृथिवी आ विवेश ॥ १८.१.२७ ॥
Agni looked forth upon the front of the dawns; the first Jātavedas looked upon the days after them. The sun, following the dawns and the rays, entered heaven and earth.
18.1.28
प्रत्यग्निरुषसामग्रमख्यत्प्रत्यहानि प्रथमो जातवेदाः ।
प्रति सूर्यस्य पुरुधा च रश्मीन् प्रति द्यावापृथिवी आ ततान ॥ १८.१.२८ ॥
Agni looked forth toward the front of the dawns; the first Jātavedas looked toward the days. Gazing toward the manifold rays of the sun, he stretched out heaven and earth.
18.1.29
द्यावा ह क्षामा प्रथमे ऋतेनाभिश्रावे भवतः सत्यवाचा ।
देवो यन् मर्तान् यजथाय कृण्वन्त्सीदद्धोता प्रत्यङ्स्वमसुं यन् ॥ १८.१.२९ ॥
Heaven and earth first stand firm by the cosmic order, at the call of true speech. The god goes, preparing mortals for sacrifice; the hotṛ sits down, turning toward his own life-breath.
18.1.30
देवो देवान् परिभूर्ऋतेन वहा नो हव्यं प्रथमश्चिकित्वान् ।
धूमकेतुः समिधा भाऋजीको मन्द्रो होता नित्यो वाचा यजीयान् ॥ १८.१.३० ॥
O god who encompasses the gods by the cosmic order, bring us the oblation—you who are first, wise, smoke-bannered, radiant with fuel, the joyful hotṛ, eternal, most worshipful in speech.
18.1.31
अर्चामि वां वर्धायापो घृतस्नू द्यावाभूमी शृणुतं रोदसी मे ।
अहा यद्देवा असुनीतिमायन् मध्वा नो अत्र पितरा शिशीताम् ॥ १८.१.३१ ॥
I praise you two for growth, for the ghee-dripping waters. Heaven and earth, hear my call. When the gods came on the path of breath through the days, here sharpen us with sweetness, you two fathers.
18.1.32
स्वावृग्देवस्यामृतं यदी गोरतो जातासो धारयन्त उर्वी ।
विश्वे देवा अनु तत्ते यजुर्गुर्दुहे यदेनी दिव्यं घृतं वाः ॥ १८.१.३२ ॥
The immortal nectar of the self-turning god, which comes from the cow, born and holding the wide; all the gods then chant your sacred formula, when the dark cow milks heavenly ghee for you.
18.1.33
किं स्विन् नो राजा जगृहे कदस्याति व्रतं चकृमा को वि वेद ।
मित्रस्चिद्धि ष्मा जुहुराणो देवां छ्लोको न यातामपि वाजो अस्ति ॥ १८.१.३३ ॥
What indeed has our king taken up? Beyond his vow, what have we done? Who truly knows this? Mitra too, indeed, offering to the gods, went forth like fame; and strength is also there.
18.1.34
दुर्मन्त्वत्रामृतस्य नाम सलक्ष्मा यद्विषुरूपा भवाति ।
यमस्य यो मनवते सुमन्त्वग्ने तमृष्व पाह्यप्रयुच्छन् ॥ १८.१.३४ ॥
Here the name of the immortal is Durmantu, which, though bearing the same mark, becomes of differing forms. Him who is Sumantu for Yama's thinker, O Agni, O exalted one, protect him without letting go.
18.1.35
यस्मिन् देवा विदथे मादयन्ते विवस्वतः सदने धारयन्ते ।
सूर्ये ज्योतिरदधुर्मास्यक्तून् परि द्योतनिं चरतो अजस्रा ॥ १८.१.३५ ॥
In whatever sacred assembly the gods rejoice, in Vivasvat's seat they hold it; in the sun they placed light, in the months the dawns, moving unceasingly around the brightness.
18.1.36
यस्मिन् देवा मन्मनि संचरन्त्यपीच्ये न वयमस्य विद्म ।
मित्रो नो अत्रादितिरनागान्त्सविता देवो वरुणाय वोचत् ॥ १८.१.३६ ॥
In whom the gods move in mind, in the hidden place, we do not know its secret here. Let Mitra, Aditi and the sinless one tell us here of it to Varuṇa; let the god Savitṛ declare it.
18.1.37
सखाय आ शिषामहे ब्रह्मेन्द्राय वज्रिणे ।
स्तुष ऊ षु नृतमाय धृष्णवे ॥ १८.१.३७ ॥
O friends, we seek a sacred prayer for Indra, the thunderbolt-wielder. Let me well praise that most manly, bold one.
18.1.38
शवसा ह्यसि श्रुतो वृत्रहत्येन वृत्रहा ।
मघैर्मघोनो अति शूर दाशसि ॥ १८.१.३८ ॥
Indeed by might you are renowned, by the slaying of Vṛtra you are Vṛtra's slayer. Surpassing the bountiful with gifts, O hero, you bestow.
18.1.39
स्तेगो न क्षामत्येषि पृथिवीं मही नो वाता इह वान्तु भूमौ ।
मित्रो नो अत्र वरुणो युजमानो अग्निर्वने न व्यसृष्ट शोकम् ॥ १८.१.३९ ॥
Like a thief you go over the earth, you go over the great earth. Here for us let the winds blow upon this ground; here let Mitra and Varuṇa, yoked, be for us, as Agni releases his flame in the forest.
18.1.40
स्तुहि श्रुतं गर्तसदं जनानां राजानं भीममुपहत्नुमुग्रम् ।
मृडा जरित्रे रुद्र स्तवानो अन्यमस्मत्ते नि वपन्तु सेन्यम् ॥ १८.१.४० ॥
Praise the renowned one, seated in the pit, king of men, fearsome, hidden, fierce. O Rudra, praised, be gracious to the singer; let your missile fall upon others, away from us.
18.1.41
सरस्वतीं देवयन्तो हवन्ते सरस्वतीमध्वरे तायमाने ।
सरस्वतीं सुकृतो हवन्ते सरस्वती दाशुषे वार्यं दात् ॥ १८.१.४१ ॥
Those who seek the gods call upon Sarasvatī, Sarasvatī while the sacrifice is being performed. The doers of good deeds call upon Sarasvatī; may Sarasvatī give the desired good to the giver.
18.1.42
सरस्वतीं पितरो हवन्ते दक्षिणा यज्ञमभिनक्षमाणाः ।
आसद्यास्मिन् बर्हिषि मादयध्वमनमीवा इष आ धेह्यस्मे ॥ १८.१.४२ ॥
The fathers call upon Sarasvatī, approaching the sacrifice with their offerings. Sit down on this sacred grass, rejoice, and bestow on us food free from sickness.
18.1.43
सरस्वति या सरथं ययाथोक्थैः स्वधाभिर्देवि पितृभिर्मदन्ती ।
सहस्रार्घमिडो अत्र भागं रायस्पोषं यजमानाय धेहि ॥ १८.१.४३ ॥
O Sarasvatī, you who went with your chariot, rejoicing with the fathers, with recited hymns and oblations of svadhā—O goddess, here bestow upon the sacrificer a share of offerings worth a thousand, and the growth of wealth.
18.1.44
उदीरतामवर उत्परास उन् मध्यमाः पितरः सोम्यासः ।
असुं य ईयुरवृका ऋतज्ञास्ते नोऽवन्तु पितरो हवेषु ॥ १८.१.४४ ॥
Let the lower, the far, and the middle soma-drinking fathers rise up. Those fathers who have gone to the breath, harmless and knowers of ṛta, may they protect us at the calls.
18.1.45
आहं पितॄन्त्सुविदत्रामवित्सि नपातं च विक्रमणं च विष्णोः ।
बर्हिषदो ये स्वधया सुतस्य भजन्त पित्वस्त इहागमिष्ठाः ॥ १८.१.४५ ॥
I obtain here the well-bestowing fathers, and the grandson and the stride of Viṣṇu. Those who sit on the sacred grass and partake by svadhā of the pressed soma—may they come hither most of all.
18.1.46
इदं पितृभ्यो नमो अस्त्वद्य ये पूर्वासो ये अपरास ईयुः ।
ये पार्थिवे रजस्या निषक्ता ये वा नूनं सुवृजनासु दिक्षु ॥ १८.१.४६ ॥
Let this homage be to the fathers today—those who went before and those who went after; those clinging to the earthly atmosphere, or those indeed in the well-ordered quarters.
18.1.47
मातली कव्यैर्यमो अङ्गिरोभिर्बृहस्पतिर्ऋक्वभिर्वावृधानः ।
यांश्च देवा वावृधुर्ये च देवांस्ते नोऽवन्तु पितरो हवेषु ॥ १८.१.४७ ॥
With the poets Mātalī, with the Aṅgirases Yama, with the Ṛkvans Bṛhaspati, growing strong; and those whom the gods have made strong, and who strengthen the gods — may those ancestors protect us in our invocations.
18.1.48
स्वादुष्किलायं मधुमाँ उतायं तीव्रः किलायं रसवाँ उतायम् ।
उतो न्वस्य पपिवांसमिन्द्रं न कश्चन सहत आहवेषु ॥ १८.१.४८ ॥
This is indeed sweet, full of honey; this is indeed sharp, full of juice; and having drunk this, no one can overcome Indra in the invocations.
18.1.49
परेयिवांसं प्रवतो महीरिति बहुभ्यः पन्थामनुपस्पशानम् ।
वैवस्वतं संगमनं जनानां यमं राजानं हविषा सपर्यत ॥ १८.१.४९ ॥
Honor with oblation King Yama, son of Vivasvat, the meeting-place of men, who has passed beyond the great heights and sees the path unobstructed for many.
18.1.50
यमो नो गातुं प्रथमो विवेद नैषा गव्यूतिरपभर्तवा उ ।
यत्रा नः पूर्वे पितरः परेता एना जज्ञानाः पथ्या अनु स्वाः ॥ १८.१.५० ॥
Yama first discovered the path for us; this distance cannot be turned back. Where our earlier fathers have gone, there these born ones go along their own paths.
18.1.51
बर्हिषदः पितर ऊत्यर्वागिमा वो हव्या चकृमा जुषध्वम् ।
त आ गतावसा शंतमेनाधा नः शं योररपो दधात ॥ १८.१.५१ ॥
Sitters on the sacred grass, ancestors, come here to help; we have prepared these oblations for you, so accept them. Come with most auspicious protection, and then grant us welfare, health and freedom from harm.
18.1.52
आच्या जानु दक्षिणतो निषद्येदं नो हविरभि गृणन्तु विश्वे ।
मा हिंसिष्ट पितरः केन चिन् नो यद्व आगः पुरुषता कराम ॥ १८.१.५२ ॥
Sit with the knee bent to the right; may all the fathers accept this oblation of ours. O fathers, do not harm us in any way for whatever offence we have committed against you through human frailty.
18.1.53
त्वष्टा दुहित्रे वहतुं कृणोति तेनेदं विश्वं भुवनं समेति ।
यमस्य माता पर्युह्यमाना महो जाया विवस्वतो ननाश ॥ १८.१.५३ ॥
Tvaṣṭar arranges the bridal procession for his daughter; by that this whole world comes together. Yama's mother, the wife of great Vivasvat, while being conducted around, has vanished.
18.1.54
प्रेहि प्रेहि पथिभिः पूर्याणैर्येना ते पूर्वे पितरः परेताः ।
उभा राजानौ स्वधया मदन्तौ यमं पश्यासि वरुणं च देवम् ॥ १८.१.५४ ॥
Go forth, go forth by the ancient paths by which your former fathers have gone forth. You shall see Yama and the god Varuṇa, the two kings who rejoice in svadhā.
18.1.55
अपेत वीत वि च सर्पतातोऽस्मा एतं पितरो लोकमक्रन् ।
अहोभिरद्भिरक्तुभिर्व्यक्तं यमो ददात्यवसानमस्मै ॥ १८.१.५५ ॥
Go away, depart, and move on from here; the fathers have made this world for him. Yama grants him a resting-place marked out by days, waters and nights.
18.1.56
उशन्तस्त्वेधीमह्युशन्तः समिधीमहि ।
उशन्न् उशत आ वह पितॄन् हविषे अत्तवे ॥ १८.१.५६ ॥
Desiring you, we kindle you; desiring, we kindle you with fuel. O desiring Agni, bring the desiring fathers hither to eat the oblation.
18.1.57
द्युमन्तस्त्वेधीमहि द्युमन्तः समिधीमहि ।
द्युमान् द्युमत आ वह पितॄन् हविषे अत्तवे ॥ १८.१.५७ ॥
Radiant, we kindle you; radiant, we kindle you with fuel. O radiant Agni, bring the radiant fathers hither to eat the oblation.
18.1.58
अङ्गिरसो नः पितरो नवग्वा अथर्वाणो भृगवः सोम्यासः ।
तेषां वयं सुमतौ यज्ञियानामपि भद्रे सौमनसे स्याम ॥ १८.१.५८ ॥
The Aṅgirases, Navagvas, Atharvans and Bhṛgus, our fathers dear to Soma: may we abide in the good favour and the auspicious goodwill of those worthy of sacrifice.
18.1.59
अङ्गिरोभिर्यज्ञियैरा गहीह यम वैरूपैरिह मादयस्व ।
विवस्वन्तं हुवे यः पिता तेऽस्मिन् बर्हिष्या निषद्य ॥ १८.१.५९ ॥
Come hither with the Aṅgirases worthy of sacrifice, O Yama; rejoice here with the Vairūpas. I call Vivasvat, who is your father; sit down upon this sacred grass.
18.1.60
इमं यम प्रस्तरमा हि रोहाङ्गिरोभिः पितृभिः संविदानः ।
आ त्वा मन्त्राः कविशस्ता वहन्त्वेना राजन् हविषो मादयस्व ॥ १८.१.६० ॥
O Yama, climb up upon this strewn grass, in accord with the Aṅgirases and the fathers. May the hymns praised by the seers bring you here; O king, rejoice in the oblation.
18.1.61
इत एत उदारुहन् दिवस्पृष्ठान्वारुहन् ।
प्र भूर्जयो यथा पथा द्यामङ्गिरसो ययुः ॥ १८.१.६१ ॥
From here they climbed up, they ascended onto the back of heaven. As the Bhūrjayas press forward along the path, so the Aṅgirases went up to the sky.
