  1. Ṛgveda 1.71.1, English LOVING the loving One, as wives their husband, the sisters of one home have urged him forward, Bright-coloured, even, as the cows love morning, dark, breaking forth to view, and redly beaming. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  2. Ṛgveda 1.71.2, English Our sires with lauds burst e'en the firm-set fortress, yea, the Angirases, with roar, the mountain. They made for us a way to reach high heaven, they found us day, light, day's sign, beams of morning. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  3. Ṛgveda 1.71.3, English They stablished order, made his service fruitful; then parting them among the longing faithful, Not thirsting after aught, they come, most active, while with sweet food the race of Gods they strengthen. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  4. Ṛgveda 1.71.4, English Since Matarisvan, far-diffused, hath stirred him, and he in every house grown bright and noble, He, Bhrgu-like I hath gone as his companion, as on commission to a greater Sovran. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  5. Ṛgveda 1.71.5, English When man poured juice to Heaven, the mighty Father, he knew and freed himself from close embracement. The archer boldly shot at him his arrow, and the God threw his splendour on his Daughter. Ralph T.H. Griffith

  7. Ṛgveda 1.71.7, English All sacrificial viands wait on Agni as the Seven mighty Rivers seek the ocean. Not by our brethren was our food discovered: find with the Gods care for us, thou who knowest. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  8. Ṛgveda 1.71.8, English When light hath filled the Lord of men for increase, straight from the heaven descends the limpid moisture. Agni hath brought to light and filled with spirit the youthful host blameless and well providing. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  9. Ṛgveda 1.71.9, English He who like thought goes swiftly on his journey, the Sun, alone is ever Lord of riches. The Kings with fair hands, Varuna and Mitra, protect the precious nectar in our cattle. Ralph T.H. Griffith
  10. Ṛgveda 1.71.10, English O Agni, break not our ancestral friendship, Sage as thou art, endowed with deepest knowledge. Old age, like gathering cloud, impairs the body: before that evil be come nigh protect me. Ralph T.H. Griffith
