Rig Veda 10.175: MAY Savitar the God, O Stones, stir you according to the Law
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896) · From The Hymns of the Rigveda (1896)
MAY Savitar the God, O Stones, stir you according to the Law:
Be harnessed to the shafts, and press.
Stones, drive calamity away, drive ye away malevolence:
Make ye the Cows our medicine.
Of one accord the upper Stones, giving the Bull his bull-like strength,
Look down with pride on those below.
May Savitar the God, O Stones, stir you as Law commands for him
Who sacrifices, pouring juice.
