1.179.1
पू॒र्वीर॒हं श॒रदः॑ शश्रमा॒णा दो॒षा वस्तो॑रु॒षसो॑ ज॒रय॑न्तीः ।
मि॒नाति॒ श्रियं॑ जरि॒मा त॒नूना॒मप्यू॒ नु पत्नी॒र्वृष॑णो जगम्युः ॥
I have seen many autumns, nights of dwelling, and dawns, which wear away as they grow old. Old age diminishes the beauty of bodies; even the wives have now gone to the virile ones.
1.179.2
ये चि॒द्धि पूर्व॑ ऋत॒साप॒ आस॑न्त्सा॒कं दे॒वेभि॒रव॑दन्नृ॒तानि॑ ।
ते चि॒दवा॑सुर्न॒ह्यन्त॑मा॒पुः समू॒ नु पत्नी॒र्वृष॑भिर्जगम्युः ॥
The ancient seers who kept the cosmic order spoke the sacred truths together with the gods. They too stayed and did not reach the end; now the wives have gone to the virile bulls.
1.179.3
न मृषा॑ श्रा॒न्तं यदव॑न्ति दे॒वा विश्वा॒ इत्स्पृधो॑ अ॒भ्य॑श्नवाव ।
जया॒वेदत्र॑ श॒तनी॑थमा॒जिं यत्स॒म्यञ्चा॑ मिथु॒नाव॒भ्यजा॑व ॥
When the gods protect the weary, that aid is not false. May we two surely overcome all rivals; may we win here in the hundred-led battle, when we two, joined, drive onward.
1.179.4
न॒दस्य॑ मा रुध॒तः काम॒ आग॑न्नि॒त आजा॑तो अ॒मुतः॒ कुत॑श्चित् ।
लोपा॑मुद्रा॒ वृष॑णं॒ नी रि॑णाति॒ धीर॒मधी॑रा धयति श्व॒सन्त॑म् ॥
At the restraint of the roaring one, my desire came; born from here, born from there, born from whence it may be. Lopamudra binds the virile one; the restless one rouses the steadfast one, who pants.
1.179.5
इ॒मं नु सोम॒मन्ति॑तो हृ॒त्सु पी॒तमुप॑ ब्रुवे ।
यत्सी॒माग॑श्चकृ॒मा तत्सु मृ॑ळतु पुलु॒कामो॒ हि मर्त्यः॑ ॥
Now I call upon this Soma, drunk in the hearts, from near at hand. May he forgive well the offense we have committed; for it is the mortal who desires grace.
1.179.6
अ॒गस्त्यः॒ खन॑मानः ख॒नित्रैः॑ प्र॒जामप॑त्यं॒ बल॑मि॒च्छमा॑नः ।
उ॒भौ वर्णा॒वृषि॑रु॒ग्रः पु॑पोष स॒त्या दे॒वेष्वा॒शिषो॑ जगाम ॥
Agastya, digging with digging-tools, desired offspring and the strength of descendants. The fierce seer nourished both forms, and among the gods his true wishes were attained.
