7 What was the tree, what wood, in sooth, produced it, from which they fashioned forth the Earth and Heaven?
These Twain stand fast and wax not old for ever:- these have sung praise to many a day and morning.

Sloka : 10.31.8

8 Not only here is this:- more is beyond us. He is the Bull, the Heaven's and Earth's supporter.
With power divine he makes his skin a filter, when the Bay Coursers bear him on as Sūrya.

Sloka : 10.31.9

9 He passes o’er the broad earth like a Stega:- he penetrates the world as Wind the mist-cloud.
He, balmed with oil, near Varuṇa and Mitra, like Agni in the wood, hath shot forth splendour.

Sloka : 10.31.10

10 When suddenly called the cow that erst was barren, she, self-protected, ended all her troubles.
Earth, when the first son sprang from sire and mother, cast up the gami, that which men were seeking.

Sloka : 10.31.11

11 To Nṛṣad's son they gave the name of Kainva, and he the brown-hued courser won the treasure.
For him dark-coloured streamed the shining udder:- none made it swell for him. Thus Order willed it.

Sloka : 10.32.1

1. FORTH speed the Pair to bring the meditating God, benevolent with boons sent in return for boons.
May Indra graciously accept both gifts from us, when he hath knowledge of the flowing Soma juice.

2 Thou wanderest far, O Indra, through the spheres of light and realms of earth, the region, thou whom many praise!
Let those who often bring their solemn rites conquer the noisy babblers who present no gifts.

3 More beautiful than beauty must this seem to me, when the son duly careth for his parents' line.
The wife attracts the husband:- with a shout of joy the man's auspicious marriage is performed aright.

Sloka : 10.32.4

4 This beauteous place of meeting have I looked upon, where, like milch-cows, the kine order the marriage train;
Where the Herd's Mother counts as first and best of all, and round her are the seven-toned people of the choir.

5 The Pious One hath reached your place before the rest:- One only moves victorious with the Rudras' band.
To these your helpers pour our meath, Immortal Gods, with whom your song of praise hath power to win their gifts.

7 The stranger asks the way of him who knows it:- taught by the skilful guide he travels onward.
This is, in truth, the blessing of instruction:- he finds the path that leads directly forward.

8 Even now he breathed:- these days hath he remembered. Concealed, he sucked the bosom of his Mother.
Yet in his youth old age hath come upon him:- he hath grown gracious, good, and free from anger.

1. THE urgings of the people have impelled me, and by,the nearest way I bring you Pūṣan.
The Universal Gods have brought me safely. The cry was heard, Behold, Dubsasu cometh!

Indigence, nakedness, exhaustion press me sore:- my mind is fluttering like a bird's.

My liberal prince were living still.

9 None lives, even had he hundred lives, beyond the statute of the Gods
So am I parted from my friend.

1. SPRUNG from tall trees on windy heights, these rollers transport me as they turn upon the table.
Dearer to me the die that never slumbers than the deep draught of Mujavan's own Soma.

2 She never vexed me nor was angry with me, but to my friends and me was ever gracious.
For the die's sake, whose single point is final, mine own devoted wife I alienated.

Sloka : 10.34.3

3 My wife holds me aloof, her mother hates me:- the wretched man finds none to give him comfort.
As of a costly horse grown old and feeble, I find not any profit of the gamester.

Sloka : 10.34.4

5 When I resolve to play with these no longer, my friends depart from me and leave me lonely.
When the brown dice, thrown on the board, have rattled, like a fond girl I seek the place of meeting.

6 The gamester seeks the gambling-house, and wonders, his body all afire, Shall I be lucky?
Still do the dice extend his eager longing, staking his gains against his adversary.

7 Dice, verily, are armed with goads and driving-hooks, deceiving and tormenting, causing grievous woe.
They give frail gifts and then destroy the man who wins, thickly anointed with the player's fairest good.

Sloka : 10.34.8

8 Merrily sports their troop, the three-and-fifty, like Savitar the God whose ways are faithful.
They bend not even to the mighty's anger:- the King himself pays homage and reveres them.

Sloka : 10.34.9

नी॒चा व॑र्तन्त उ॒परि॑ स्फुरन्त्यह॒स्तासो॒ हस्त॑वन्तं सहन्ते ।

di̱vyā aṅgā̍rā̱ iri̍ṇe̱ nyu̍ptāḥ śī̱tāḥ santo̱ hṛda̍ya̱ṃ nirda̍hanti .. 10.034.09

9 Downward they roll, and then spring quickly upward, and, handless, force the man with hands to serve them.
Cast on the board, like lumps of magic charcoal, though cold themselves they burn the heart to ashes.

Sloka : 10.34.10

ṛ̱ṇā̱vā bibhya̱ddhana̍mi̱cchamā̍no̱'nyeṣā̱masta̱mupa̱ nakta̍meti .. 10.034.10

10 The gambler's wife is left forlorn and wretched:- the mother mourns the son who wanders homeless.
In constant fear, in debt, and seeking riches, he goes by night unto the home of others.

Sloka : 10.34.11

pū̱rvā̱hṇe aśvā̍nyuyu̱je hi ba̱bhrūnso a̱gnerante̍ vṛṣa̱laḥ pa̍pāda .. 10.034.11

11 Sad is the gambler when he sees a matron, another's wife, and his well-ordered dwelling.
He yokes the brown steeds in the early morning, and when the fire is cold sinks down an outcast.

Sloka : 10.34.12

12 To the great captain of your mighty army, who hath become the host's imperial leader,
To him I show my ten extended fingers:- I speak the truth. No wealth am I withholding.

13 Play not with dice:- no, cultivate thy corn-land. Enjoy the gain, and deem that wealth sufficient.
There are thy cattle there thy wife, O gambler. So this good Savitar himself hath told me.

Sloka : 10.34.14
