10.123.1
अ॒यं वे॒नश्चो॑दय॒त्पृश्नि॑गर्भा॒ ज्योति॑र्जरायू॒ रज॑सो वि॒माने॑ ।
इ॒मम॒पां सं॑ग॒मे सूर्य॑स्य॒ शिशुं॒ न विप्रा॑ म॒तिभी॑ रिहन्ति ॥
This Vena, born of light, impels the speckled-wombed rays in the measured expanse of heaven. At the confluence of the sun's waters, the seers caress him like a child with their thoughts.
10.123.2
स॒मु॒द्रादू॒र्मिमुदि॑यर्ति वे॒नो न॑भो॒जाः पृ॒ष्ठं ह॑र्य॒तस्य॑ दर्शि ।
ऋ॒तस्य॒ साना॒वधि॑ वि॒ष्टपि॒ भ्राट्स॑मा॒नं योनि॑म॒भ्य॑नूषत॒ व्राः ॥
From the ocean Vena lifts the wave; the sky-born one rises up. The back of the tawny one is seen. On the ridge of cosmic order, shining in the highest realm, the rays together praised one womb.
10.123.3
स॒मा॒नं पू॒र्वीर॒भि वा॑वशा॒नास्तिष्ठ॑न्व॒त्सस्य॑ मा॒तरः॒ सनी॑ळाः ।
ऋ॒तस्य॒ साना॒वधि॑ चक्रमा॒णा रि॒हन्ति॒ मध्वो॑ अ॒मृत॑स्य॒ वाणीः॑ ॥
Toward one place, the ancient ones, lowing, stand as the mothers of the calf, kin of one home. Circling on the ridge of cosmic order, they lick the speeches of honey and immortality.
10.123.4
जा॒नन्तो॑ रू॒पम॑कृपन्त॒ विप्रा॑ मृ॒गस्य॒ घोषं॑ महि॒षस्य॒ हि ग्मन् ।
ऋ॒तेन॒ यन्तो॒ अधि॒ सिन्धु॑मस्थुर्वि॒दद्ग॑न्ध॒र्वो अ॒मृता॑नि॒ नाम॑ ॥
Knowing the form, the seers were stirred — the deer's cry, the buffalo's gait. Moving by cosmic order, they stood upon the river; the Gandharva found the immortal names.
10.123.5
अ॒प्स॒रा जा॒रमु॑पसिष्मिया॒णा योषा॑ बिभर्ति पर॒मे व्यो॑मन् ।
चर॑त्प्रि॒यस्य॒ योनि॑षु प्रि॒यः सन्त्सीद॑त्प॒क्षे हि॑र॒ण्यये॒ स वे॒नः ॥
The apsaras, dwelling near her lover, holds that woman in the highest expanse. Moving in the places of the beloved, being beloved, she sits on the golden wing — that Vena.
10.123.6
नाके॑ सुप॒र्णमुप॒ यत्पत॑न्तं हृ॒दा वेन॑न्तो अ॒भ्यच॑क्षत त्वा ।
हिर॑ण्यपक्षं॒ वरु॑णस्य दू॒तं य॒मस्य॒ योनौ॑ शकु॒नं भु॑र॒ण्युम् ॥
When, flying up in heaven (nāka), the seers praising from the heart saw you — the golden-winged bird, messenger of Varuṇa, the bird-carrier in Yama's place.
10.123.7
ऊ॒र्ध्वो ग॑न्ध॒र्वो अधि॒ नाके॑ अस्थाद्प्र॒त्यङ्चि॒त्रा बिभ्र॑द॒स्यायु॑धानि ।
वसा॑नो॒ अत्कं॑ सुर॒भिं दृ॒शे कं स्व॑र्ण नाम॑ जनत प्रि॒याणि॑ ॥
The lofty Gandharva stood upon the highest heaven, bearing his variegated weapons. Clothed in a fragrant garment, that they may be seen, let them bring forth their dear names like the sun.
10.123.8
द्र॒प्सः स॑मु॒द्रम॒भि यज्जिगा॑ति॒ पश्य॒न्गृध्र॑स्य॒ चक्ष॑सा॒ विध॑र्मन् ।
भा॒नुः शु॒क्रेण॑ शो॒चिषा॑ चका॒नस्तृ॒तीये॑ चक्रे॒ रज॑सि प्रि॒याणि॑ ॥
That swift, drop-like one goes toward the ocean, gazing with the eye of a vulture across the wide expanse. Shining with bright, glowing flame, he made his dear things in the third realm.
