1.161.1
किमु॒ श्रेष्ठः॒ किं यवि॑ष्ठो न॒ आज॑ग॒न्किमी॑यते दू॒त्यं॑ कद्यदू॑चि॒म ।
न नि॑न्दिम चम॒सं यो म॑हाकु॒लो अग्ने॑ भ्रात॒र्द्रुण॒ इद्भू॒तिमू॑दिम ॥
Who came to us as the greatest, who as the youngest? When is the office of messenger sent, when we have spoken? We have not reviled the cup of the great family; O Agni, O brother, we share only the portion of the wooden cup.
1.161.2
एकं॑ चम॒सं च॒तुरः॑ कृणोतन॒ तद्वो॑ दे॒वा अ॑ब्रुव॒न्तद्व॒ आग॑मम् ।
सौध॑न्वना॒ यद्ये॒वा क॑रि॒ष्यथ॑ सा॒कं दे॒वैर्य॒ज्ञिया॑सो भविष्यथ ॥
Make the one cup four — this the gods told you, this I have come to tell you. O Saudhanvanas, if you will do this, you will be worthy of sacrifice together with the gods.
1.161.3
अ॒ग्निं दू॒तं प्रति॒ यदब्र॑वीत॒नाश्वः॒ कर्त्वो॒ रथ॑ उ॒तेह कर्त्वः॑ ।
धे॒नुः कर्त्वा॑ युव॒शा कर्त्वा॒ द्वा तानि॑ भ्रात॒रनु॑ वः कृ॒त्व्येम॑सि ॥
O brother, when you sent Agni as messenger, you said: 'The horse is made by craft, the chariot made by craft, here the cow made by craft, the young pair made by craft, the two made by craft; after these, O brothers, we come making craft for you.'
1.161.4
च॒कृ॒वांस॑ ऋभव॒स्तद॑पृच्छत॒ क्वेद॑भू॒द्यः स्य दू॒तो न॒ आज॑गन् ।
य॒दावाख्य॑च्चम॒साञ्च॒तुरः॑ कृ॒तानादित्त्वष्टा॒ ग्नास्व॒न्तर्न्या॑नजे ॥
O Ṛbhus, makers, you asked where he came to be, the one who came to us as messenger? When he revealed the four made cups, then Tvaṣṭar anointed him down among the wives.
1.161.5
हना॑मैनाँ॒ इति॒ त्वष्टा॒ यदब्र॑वीच्चम॒सं ये दे॑व॒पान॒मनि॑न्दिषुः ।
अ॒न्या नामा॑नि कृण्वते सु॒ते सचाँ॑ अ॒न्यैरे॑नान्क॒न्या॑ नाम॑भि स्परत् ॥
"Let us slay these," thus Tvaṣṭar spoke when he addressed the cup that did not scorn the gods' drink. When the soma is pressed they take other names; let the maiden touch them by the names of others.
1.161.6
इन्द्रो॒ हरी॑ युयु॒जे अ॒श्विना॒ रथं॒ बृह॒स्पति॑र्वि॒श्वरू॑पा॒मुपा॑जत ।
ऋ॒भुर्विभ्वा॒ वाजो॑ दे॒वाँ अ॑गच्छत॒ स्वप॑सो य॒ज्ञियं॑ भा॒गमै॑तन ॥
Indra yoked the two bay horses to the chariot; Bṛhaspati came near the all-formed chariot. Ṛbhu, Vibhu, and Vāja came to the gods; you good-workers, you spread out the portion fit for sacrifice.
1.161.7
निश्चर्म॑णो॒ गाम॑रिणीत धी॒तिभि॒र्या जर॑न्ता युव॒शा ताकृ॑णोतन ।
सौध॑न्वना॒ अश्वा॒दश्व॑मतक्षत यु॒क्त्वा रथ॒मुप॑ दे॒वाँ अ॑यातन ॥
O sons of Sudhanvan, by your thoughts and skill you drew the cow out from its hide, and you made the two aged ones young again. Fashioning a horse from a horse, and yoking the chariot, you went to the gods.
1.161.8
इ॒दमु॑द॒कं पि॑ब॒तेत्य॑ब्रवीतने॒दं वा॑ घा पिबता मुञ्ज॒नेज॑नम् ।
सौध॑न्वना॒ यदि॒ तन्नेव॒ हर्य॑थ तृ॒तीये॑ घा॒ सव॑ने मादयाध्वै ॥
You said, 'Drink this water,' or 'Drink this mixed liquid.' O sons of Sudhanvan, if that is not found as it should be, then indeed at the third pressing we shall surely rejoice.
1.161.9
आपो॒ भूयि॑ष्ठा॒ इत्येको॑ अब्रवीद॒ग्निर्भूयि॑ष्ठ॒ इत्य॒न्यो अ॑ब्रवीत् ।
व॒ध॒र्यन्तीं॑ ब॒हुभ्यः॒ प्रैको॑ अब्रवीदृ॒ता वद॑न्तश्चम॒साँ अ॑पिंशत ॥
One said, 'The waters are most abundant'; another said, 'Agni is most abundant.' One spoke of what is perishing for the many; speaking the rta, they shaped the cups.
1.161.10
श्रो॒णामेक॑ उद॒कं गामवा॑जति मां॒समेकः॑ पिंशति सू॒नयाभृ॑तम् ।
आ नि॒म्रुचः॒ शकृ॒देको॒ अपा॑भर॒त्किं स्वि॑त्पु॒त्रेभ्यः॑ पि॒तरा॒ उपा॑वतुः ॥
One carries the waters of the Śroṇā and the cow downward; another grinds the flesh brought by the sons. One drew up the dung from the one who is sinking; why did the parents come near for the sake of the sons?
1.161.11
उ॒द्वत्स्व॑स्मा अकृणोतना॒ तृणं॑ नि॒वत्स्व॒पः स्व॑प॒स्यया॑ नरः ।
अगो॑ह्यस्य॒ यदस॑स्तना गृ॒हे तद॒द्येदमृ॑भवो॒ नानु॑ गच्छथ ॥
In the upward-flowing places you made grass for him; in the downward-flowing waters you set things right by skilful work. O men, what you did in the house, O Ṛbhus, will you not go again here today?
1.161.12
स॒म्मील्य॒ यद्भुव॑ना प॒र्यस॑र्पत॒ क्व॑ स्वित्ता॒त्या पि॒तरा॑ व आसतुः ।
अश॑पत॒ यः क॒रस्नं॑ व आद॒दे यः प्राब्र॑वी॒त्प्रो तस्मा॑ अब्रवीतन ॥
When the worlds, having closed together, crept about, where indeed were your two fathers, the parents, dwelling? They cursed the one who took your karasna; to the one who spoke forth you said.
1.161.13
सु॒षु॒प्वांस॑ ऋभव॒स्तद॑पृच्छ॒तागो॑ह्य॒ क इ॒दं नो॑ अबूबुधत् ।
श्वानं॑ ब॒स्तो बो॑धयि॒तार॑मब्रवीत्संवत्स॒र इ॒दम॒द्या व्य॑ख्यत ॥
O Ribhus, the sleepers asked: 'O unfortunate one, who awakened this for us?' The guard said to the dog that wakes others; today, in this year, this became manifest.
1.161.14
दि॒वा या॑न्ति म॒रुतो॒ भूम्या॒ग्निर॒यं वातो॑ अ॒न्तरि॑क्षेण याति ।
अ॒द्भिर्या॑ति॒ वरु॑णः समु॒द्रैर्यु॒ष्माँ इ॒च्छन्तः॑ शवसो नपातः ॥
By day the Maruts go by the earth; this is Agni, this wind goes through the mid-region. Varuṇa goes with the waters, with the seas, desiring you, O grandsons of strength.
