English translation:

“Indu, you advance to give us abundant wealth; Ayāsya bearing your waves (go) towards the gods (to sacrifice).”

O drop, you rush forth for our great extension, like (a river) bearing a wave, irrepressible, toward the gods.

mahé táne “for great extension” is found also in VIII.26.2, 46.25, where it appears to refer to the extension of the family line. This is possible here, esp. if naḥ is construed with it, as in the published translation Geldner suggests that it refers to the extension of lifetime (“zu grosser Lebensdauer(?)”) and Renou to the ritual continuum, but as Renou points out in his n., it could also simply describe, physically, the extension of the stream of soma. If that interpr. is chosen, the tr. should de-couple naḥ from the phrase: “… rush forth for us for (your) great extension.” The referent of the simile ūrmíṃ ná bíbhrat is suggested by IX.96.7 ūrmíṃ ná síndhuḥ.

INDU, to us for this great rite, bearing as ’twere thy wave to Gods,
Unwearied, thou art flowing forQh.

Du rinnst uns weiter zu großer Lebensdauer, o Saft, gleichsam die Woge tragend, für die Götter unverdrossen.

Zu langer Dauer strömst du uns, wie Wellen tragend, Indu, vor Hin zu den Göttern ohne Rast.

К нам вперед, о капля, для великой непрерывности (обряда)
Ты течешь, словно неся волну,
В сторону богов, неутомимая.

अब परमात्मा मेधावी लोगों की बुद्धि का विषय है, यह वर्णन करते हैं।

भावार्थभाषाः - जो पुरुष अनुष्ठानशील नहीं अर्थात् उद्योगी बनकर कर्म्मयोग में तत्पर नहीं है, वह पुरुष कदाचित्भी परमात्मा को नहीं पा सकता, इसलिये उद्योगी बनकर कर्म्म में तत्पर होना प्रत्येक मनुष्य का कर्तव्य होना चाहिये॥१॥

English translation:

“The sage Soma gratified by the praise of the pious (worshipper) prepared for the sacrifice is sent in a stream at a distance (from the filter).”

Soma is impelled in the distance, delighted by the thought, impelled by the insight
of the inspired poet—(Soma himself) a sage poet—in a stream.

The stem juṣtá- with expected ppl. accent occurs only here in the RV, beside wellattested júṣṭa- with unexpected root accent. The latter form is generally construed with the dative of the beneficiary (“enjoyable to X”), save for the late X.125.5 (Vāc) júṣṭaṃ devébhir utá mā́nuṣebhiḥ (though this phrase has a traditional ring), with instr. as here.

The usual uncertainty about the root affiliation of hitá- in IX: to √hi ‘impel’ or √dhā ‘place’? See disc. ad IX.1.2, etc. On the basis of finite hinve in the next pāda, undeniably belonging to √hi, one could argue either way: as a root repetition or as a pun. Both Geldner and Renou take it to √hi, the latter with some disc. in his n.; I concur, primarily because of phrases like dhiyéṣitá- (I.3.5, III.12.1, 60.5, 62.12) ‘sent by the thought’, dhiyā́jūtá- (IX.64.16) ‘sped by the thought’, even though the doubling of ‘impelled’ seems crude for a RVic poet.

Geldner and Renou also construe víprasya with dhā́rayā (e.g., “grâce à la coulée du (prêtre)- inspiré”). In the published translation I instead take it with the two types of speech in pāda a, matí- and dhī́- and assume that it has been displaced to c in order to contrast with kavíḥ, referring to Soma there. In favor of this interpr. is the fact that the very common instr. dhā́rayā generally appears alone and refers to the physical stream of the soma liquid, not metaphorically to words or the like. However, the identical pāda IX.12.8c gives me pause, as in that vs. there is no alternative way of construing víprasya except with dhā́rayā. I think it possible that IX.12.8 is a clumsy borrowing of this pāda, but see comm. ad loc., where I consider the possibility that there is a way to interpret víprasya dhā́rayā phrasally.

Pleased with the hymn, impelled by prayer, Soma is hurried far away,
The Wise One in the Singer’s stream.,

Bei der Dichtung in Gunst, durch die Kunst angespornt, eilt Soma in die Ferne, der Seher im Strome des Redekundigen.

Erfreut durch Lied, Gebet-gespornt wird Soma fernehin gesandt, Der Seher in des Sängers Strom.

Довольный молитвой, посланный поэтической мыслью,
Спешит сома в дальние края

सः पवमानः सोमः वायवे वायुदेवार्थं भगाय भगदेवार्थं च विप्रवीरः विप्रैर्मेधाविभिः स्तुत्या प्रेरितः सदावृधः नित्यवृद्धो भवन् नः अस्मभ्यं देवेषु स्थितं धनम् आ यमत् आ प्रयच्छतु ॥

English translation:

“May Soma who is pressed forth by the seers for Bhaga and Vāyu, ever prosper in, grant us (wealth plural ced) among the gods.”

He whose heroes are poets, growing ever stronger for Bhaga, for Vāyu— Soma will guide us to the gods.

The first hemistich has no finite verb. Geldner somewhat arbitrarily supplies a verb (“empfehlen”) with which to construe the two datives bhágāya vāyáve. If we are to supply a verb, it seems best to be guided by the context in which pāda a is repeated, in IX.61.9a, where the following pāda contains pavasva. Renou’s “(qu’il se clarifie)” seems to reflect this, though he does not mention the repeated pāda in his n., where he suggests other possibilities. (That pavasva appears in the immediately preceding vs. 4 in our hymn might also support supplying it here.) The published translation simply takes ab as a nominal expression, with the datives of pāda a construed with sadā́vṛdhaḥ ‘growing ever stronger’. The drawback to my interpr. (and to Renou’s) is that there’s no clear function for naḥ, which both Renou and I fail to tr. in its hemistich (Geldner uses it as object of “empfehlen”). I take naḥ as the fronted Wackernagel-position obj. of ā́yamat in c, assuming that the whole vs. is a single clause.

Geldner’s rendering of vípravīra- as “der die Männer beredt macht” cavalierly ignores both accent and the morphology of the first member. It must rather be a bahuvrīhi, as the published translation and Renou’s “qui a pour hommes-utiles les orateurs” recognize.

May Soma, ever bringing power to Bhaga and to Vayu, Sage
And Hero, lead us to the Gods.

Er möge uns dem Bhaga, Vayu empfehlen, er, der die Männer beredt macht, der stets Fördernde. Soma möge sich bei den Göttern verwenden.

Er, Soma, lenke unser Lied, gerühmt von Sängern, stets voll Kraft Für Bhaga, Vaju götterwärts.

(Пусть) он (очищается) у нас для Бхаги, для Ваю,
(Он,) чьи мужи – вдохновенные (поэты), кто всегда усиливает (их)!
Пусть сома постарался (для нас) среди богов!
