अम॑न्दा॒न् त्स्तोमा॒न् प्र भ॑रे मनी॒षा सिन्धा॒वधि॑ क्षिय॒तो भा॒व्यस्य॑ |
यो मे॑ स॒हस्र॒ममि॑मीत स॒वान॒तूर्तो॒ राजा॒ श्रव॑ इ॒च्छमा॑नः ||
WITH wisdom I present these lively praises of Bhāvya dweller on the bank of Sindhu; For he, unconquered King, desiring glory, hath furnished me a thousand sacrifices.
With wisdom I present these lively praises of Bhavya dwelling on Sindhu's bank; for he, unconquered king desiring glory, has furnished me a thousand sacrifices.
Medha-yukta stuti of Sindhu-tata Bhavya; ajita rajan seeking yashas funds sahasra-yajna for the rishi—raja-dharma as yajna-poshana.
Praise patrons accurately and wisely. Leaders who fund real cultural work in pursuit of worthy fame deserve articulate thanks.
1.126.2
श॒तं राज्ञो॒ नाध॑मानस्य नि॒ष्काञ् छ॒तमश्वा॒न् प्रय॑तान् त्स॒द्य आद॑म् |
श॒तं क॒क्षीवाँ॒ असु॑रस्य॒ गोनां॑ दि॒वि श्रवो॒ऽजर॒मा त॑तान ||
A hundred necklets from the King, beseeching, a hundred gift-steeds I at once accepted; Of the lord's cows a thousand, I Kakṣīvān. His deathless glory hath he spread to heaven.
A hundred necklets from the King, beseeching, a hundred gift-steeds I accepted at once; of the lord's cows a thousand—I, Kakshivan. His deathless glory he has spread to heaven.
Shata-nishka, shata-ashva, sahasra-go accepted; amara-yashas of the king spread to div—dakshina as sky-written kirti.
Accept and record major support transparently. Generous scale should become public, lasting reputation—not hidden embarrassment.
1.126.3
उप॑ मा श्या॒वाः स्व॒नये॑न द॒त्ता व॒धूम॑न्तो॒ दश॒ रथा॑सो अस्थुः |
ष॒ष्टिः स॒हस्र॒मनु॒ गव्य॒मागा॒त् सन॑त् क॒क्षीवाँ॑ अभिपि॒त्वे अह्ना॑म् ||
Horses of dusky colour stood beside me, ten chariots, Svanaya's gift, with mares to draw them. Kine numbering sixty thousand followed after. Kakṣīvān gained them when the days were closing.
Dusky horses stood beside me, ten chariots—Svanaya's gift—with mares to draw them; sixty thousand kine followed. Kakshivan gained them as the days were closing.
Svanaya's gift inventory: shyava ashvas, dasha rathas with mares, shashti-sahasra go at day's end—evening as moment of fulfilled dana.
Close important exchanges cleanly before the day ends. Large collaborations need clear transfer moments and countable deliverables.
1.126.4
च॒त्वा॒रिं॒शद् दश॑रथस्य॒ शोणा॑: स॒हस्र॒स्याग्रे॒ श्रेणिं॑ नयन्ति |
म॒द॒च्युत॑: कृश॒नाव॑तो॒ अत्या॑न् क॒क्षीव॑न्त॒ उद॑मृक्षन्त प॒ज्राः ||
Forty bay horses of the ten cars' master before a thousand lead the long procession. Reeling in joy Kakṣīvān's sons and Pajra's have grounded the coursers decked with pearly trappings.
Forty bay horses of the ten cars' master lead a thousand in long procession; reeling in joy, Kakshivan's sons and Pajra's have grounded the pearl-decked coursers.
Processional ashva-shobha; Pajra-Kakshivan youth in mada-joy settling horses—kula celebrating sustained patronage.
Let teams celebrate delivery. Joyful grounding of big wins—ritualized, shared—binds lineage and labor together.
1.126.5
पूर्वा॒मनु॒ प्रय॑ति॒मा द॑दे व॒स्त्रीन् यु॒क्ताँ अ॒ष्टाव॒रिधा॑यसो॒ गाः |
सु॒बन्ध॑वो॒ ये वि॒श्या॑ इव॒ व्रा अन॑स्वन्त॒: श्रव॒ ऐष॑न्त प॒ज्राः ||
An earlier gift for you have I accepted eight cows, good milkers, and three harnessed horses, Pajras, who with your wains with your great kinsman, like troops of subjects, have been fain for glory.
An earlier gift for you I accepted: eight good milch-cows and three harnessed horses, O Pajras, who with your wains and great kinsman have been eager for glory like troops of subjects.
Prior ashta-dhenu and tri-ashva; Pajras with wagons and mahā-bandhu seeking yashas like loyal praja—collective ambition under dana.
Acknowledge installment history. Earlier gifts and eager teams both matter in a long patronage or funding relationship.

आग॑धिता॒ परि॑गधिता॒ या क॑शी॒केव॒ जङ्ग॑हे |
ददा॑ति॒ मह्यं॒ यादु॑री॒ याशू॑नां भो॒ज्या॑ श॒ता ||
[Ille loquitur]. Adhaerens, arcte adhaerens, illa quae mustelae similis se abdidit, multum humorem effundens, dat mihi complexuum centum gaudia.
Closely clinging, she who hid like a mongoose, pouring abundant affection, grants me a hundred joys of embrace.
Romasha-Bhavayavya samvada: embodied dampatya-rati as shata-ananda—Hindu grihastha affirmation of marital intimacy as legitimate joy, not exile from the sacred.
Honor consensual marital intimacy as part of a whole life. Affection and play nourish bonds; healthy private joy supports public generosity and stability.
1.126.7
उपो॑प मे॒ परा॑ मृश॒ मा मे॑ द॒भ्राणि॑ मन्यथाः |
सर्वा॒हम॑स्मि रोम॒शा ग॒न्धारी॑णामिवावि॒का ||
[Ille loquitur]. Prope, prope accede; molliter me tange. Ne putes pilos corporis mei-paucos esse: tota sum villosa sicut Gandharium ovis.
Come near, approach; touch me softly. Do not think the hair of my body scant—I am wholly soft-haired like a ewe of the Gandharis.
Romasha's proud invitation: sukumara sparsha and roma-shobha likened to Gandhara ewe—stri-svabhava celebrated without shame in Vedic household voice.
Communicate desire with kindness and confidence. Softness, consent, and unashamed embodiment strengthen intimate trust.
