10.98.1
बृह॑स्पते॒ प्रति॑ मे दे॒वता॑मिहि मि॒त्रो वा॒ यद्वरु॑णो॒ वासि॑ पू॒षा ।
आ॒दि॒त्यैर्वा॒ यद्वसु॑भिर्म॒रुत्वा॒न्त्स प॒र्जन्यं॒ शंत॑नवे वृषाय ॥
O Bṛhaspati, come to me before the gods; whether you are Mitra, or Varuṇa, or Pūṣan, or with the Ādityas and Vasus and accompanied by the Maruts, may that rain-cloud shower rain for Śantanu.
10.98.2
आ दे॒वो दू॒तो अ॑जि॒रश्चि॑कि॒त्वान्त्वद्दे॑वापे अ॒भि माम॑गच्छत् ।
प्र॒ती॒ची॒नः प्रति॒ मामा व॑वृत्स्व॒ दधा॑मि ते द्यु॒मतीं॒ वाच॑मा॒सन् ॥
Hither has come the god, the swift and wise messenger from you, O Devapi; turn back and return toward me. For you I place bright speech in the mouth.
10.98.3
अ॒स्मे धे॑हि द्यु॒मतीं॒ वाच॑मा॒सन्बृह॑स्पते अनमी॒वामि॑षि॒राम् ।
यया॑ वृ॒ष्टिं शंत॑नवे॒ वना॑व दि॒वो द्र॒प्सो मधु॑माँ॒ आ वि॑वेश ॥
O Bṛhaspati, establish in us bright speech, undiseased and nourishing, by which we two may bring rain for Śantanu; let the honey-laden drop come down from heaven and enter in.
10.98.4
आ नो॑ द्र॒प्सा मधु॑मन्तो विशन्तु॒ इन्द्र॑ दे॒ह्यधि॑रथं स॒हस्र॑म् ।
नि षी॑द हो॒त्रमृ॑तु॒था य॑जस्व दे॒वान्दे॑वापे ह॒विषा॑ सपर्य ॥
Let the honey-laden drops come to us; O Indra, give a thousandfold chariot-seat. Sit down, O Devāpi, and perform the sacrifice in its due season as hotṛ; worship the gods with oblation.
10.98.5
आ॒र्ष्टि॒षे॒णो हो॒त्रमृषि॑र्नि॒षीद॑न्दे॒वापि॑र्देवसुम॒तिं चि॑कि॒त्वान् ।
स उत्त॑रस्मा॒दध॑रं समु॒द्रम॒पो दि॒व्या अ॑सृजद्व॒र्ष्या॑ अ॒भि ॥
The seer Devāpi, sitting as the hotṛ of Ārṣṭiṣeṇa, knowing the gods' favor, released the waters from the upper region down toward the lower ocean — the heavenly, rain-bearing waters.
10.98.6
अ॒स्मिन्त्स॑मु॒द्रे अध्युत्त॑रस्मि॒न्नापो॑ दे॒वेभि॒र्निवृ॑ता अतिष्ठन् ।
ता अ॑द्रवन्नार्ष्टिषे॒णेन॑ सृ॒ष्टा दे॒वापि॑ना॒ प्रेषि॑ता मृ॒क्षिणी॑षु ॥
In this ocean, and in the upper region, the waters stood restrained by the gods; those very waters, released by Ārṣṭiṣeṇa and sent forth by Devāpi, ran toward the places of the mṛkṣiṇī.
10.98.7
यद्दे॒वापिः॒ शंत॑नवे पु॒रोहि॑तो हो॒त्राय॑ वृ॒तः कृ॒पय॒न्नदी॑धेत् ।
दे॒व॒श्रुतं॑ वृष्टि॒वनिं॒ ररा॑णो॒ बृह॒स्पति॒र्वाच॑मस्मा अयच्छत् ॥
When Devāpi, chosen as priest for Śaṃtanu to act as hotṛ, kindled out of compassion, Bṛhaspati gave him the speech that the gods hear and that brings rain.
10.98.8
यं त्वा॑ दे॒वापिः॑ शुशुचा॒नो अ॑ग्न आर्ष्टिषे॒णो म॑नु॒ष्यः॑ समी॒धे ।
विश्वे॑भिर्दे॒वैर॑नुम॒द्यमा॑नः॒ प्र प॒र्जन्य॑मीरया वृष्टि॒मन्त॑म् ॥
O Agni, which you, shining brightly, the man of the Arshtishena line, Devāpi, kindles; gladdened by all the gods, set in motion Parjanya, full of rain.
10.98.9
त्वां पूर्व॒ ऋष॑यो गी॒र्भिरा॑य॒न्त्वाम॑ध्व॒रेषु॑ पुरुहूत॒ विश्वे॑ ।
स॒हस्रा॒ण्यधि॑रथान्य॒स्मे आ नो॑ य॒ज्ञं रो॑हिद॒श्वोप॑ याहि ॥
The ancient seers reached you with songs; you, much-invoked, all reached you at every sacrifice. May there be a thousand chariot-fittings for us; red-horsed one, come near our sacrifice.
10.98.10
ए॒तान्य॑ग्ने नव॒तिर्नव॒ त्वे आहु॑ता॒न्यधि॑रथा स॒हस्रा॑ ।
तेभि॑र्वर्धस्व त॒न्वः॑ शूर पू॒र्वीर्दि॒वो नो॑ वृ॒ष्टिमि॑षि॒तो रि॑रीहि ॥
O Agni, these are ninety-nine; offerings are in you, with a thousand chariot-fittings. With them strengthen your bodies, O hero; from heaven send us many rains, set in motion, let them pour down.
10.98.11
ए॒तान्य॑ग्ने नव॒तिं स॒हस्रा॒ सं प्र य॑च्छ॒ वृष्ण॒ इन्द्रा॑य भा॒गम् ।
वि॒द्वान्प॒थ ऋ॑तु॒शो दे॑व॒याना॒नप्यौ॑ला॒नं दि॒वि दे॒वेषु॑ धेहि ॥
O Agni, hold these ninety and thousands together, give a portion to the bull Indra; knowing, in seasonal order, place the paths of the gods, also the bond in heaven, among the gods.
10.98.12
अग्ने॒ बाध॑स्व॒ वि मृधो॒ वि दु॒र्गहापामी॑वा॒मप॒ रक्षां॑सि सेध ।
अ॒स्मात्स॑मु॒द्राद्बृ॑ह॒तो दि॒वो नो॑ अ॒पां भू॒मान॒मुप॑ नः सृजे॒ह ॥
O Agni, drive hostile foes apart, sever difficult passages; drive away ill-health, throw the demons away. From this great ocean, from heaven, create for us an abundance of waters here.
