Rig Veda 10.176: WITH hymns of praise their sons have told aloud the Rbhus' mighty deeds.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896) · From The Hymns of the Rigveda (1896)
WITH hymns of praise their sons have told aloud the Rbhus' mighty deeds.
Who, all-supporting, have enjoyed the earth as, twere a mother cow.
Bring forth the God with song divine, being Jatavedas hitherward,
To bear our gifts at once to heaven.
He here, a God-devoted Priest, led forward comes to sacrifice.
Like a car covered for the road, he, glowing, knows, himself, the way.
This Agni rescues from distress, as 'twere from the Immortal Race,
A God yet mightier than strength, a God who hath been made for life.
