1.15.1
इन्द्र॒ सोमं॒ पिब॑ ऋ॒तुना ऽऽ त्वा॑ विश॒न्त्विन्द॑वः |
म॒त्स॒रास॒स्तदो॑कसः ||
O INDRA drink the Soma juice with Ṛtu; let the cheering drops Sink deep within, which settle there.
O Indra, drink Soma with Ṛtu; let the gladdening drops that settle as in their home enter into you.
Indra drinks ‘ṛtunā’—in/with sacred season and ritual timing. Indavaḥ that are Matsarāsaḥ become Tadokasaḥ—at home in him. Vedic Ananda enters conscious will when offered in right ṛtu, not randomly.
Time your deepest nourishment and commitments with natural and ethical seasonality. Right timing lets renewal actually ‘settle home’ in you.
1.15.2
मरु॑त॒: पिब॑त ऋ॒तुना॑ पो॒त्राद् य॒ज्ञं पु॑नीतन |
यू॒यं हि ष्ठा सु॑दानवः ||
Drink from the Purifier's cup, Maruts, with Ṛtu; sanctify The rite, for ye give precious gifts.
O Maruts, drink with Ṛtu from the Potr’s cup; purify the sacrifice, for you are generous givers.
Maruts drink from the Potra (purifier-priest’s vessel) and ‘punītana’ the Yajña. Storm-brotherhood as Sudānavaḥ cleanses the rite in season—collective purifying energy synchronized with ṛtu.
Let vigorous peer energy purify group work in its proper phase. Generous teams clean process when invited at the right moment.
1.15.3
अ॒भि य॒ज्ञं गृ॑णीहि नो॒ ग्नावो॒ नेष्ट॒: पिब॑ ऋ॒तुना॑ |
त्वं हि र॑त्न॒धा असि॑ ||
O Neṣṭar, with thy Dame accept our sacrifice; with Ṛtu drink, For thou art he who giveth wealth.
O Neṣṭar, praise our sacrifice together with the goddess-consort; drink with Ṛtu, for you are the bestower of jewels.
Neṣṭar (often linked with Tvaṣṭṛ’s ritual role) with Gnā (divine feminine) drinks ṛtunā as Ratnadhā. Creative formative power plus śakti grants jewels of prosperity when timed rightly.
Pair creative capacity with receptive partnership, and time the ask. Treasure appears when shaping skill and supportive energy drink together in season.
1.15.4
अग्ने॑ दे॒वाँ इ॒हा व॑ह सा॒दया॒ योनि॑षु त्रि॒षु |
परि॑ भूष॒ पिब॑ ऋ॒तुना॑ ||
Bring the Gods, Agni; in the three appointed places set them down: Surround them, and with Ṛtu drink.
O Agni, bring the gods here, seat them in the three places, encompass them, and drink with Ṛtu.
Agni conveys Devas, seats them in Triṣu Yoniṣu (the three ritual stations/fires), ‘pari bhūṣa’ (adorns/encompasses), and drinks ṛtunā. Cosmic hospitality is structured in threes and completed by seasonal drinking.
Place the right people in the right roles, surround them with care, and refresh the collaboration on a sustainable rhythm.
1.15.5
ब्राह्म॑णादिन्द्र॒ राध॑स॒: पिबा॒ सोम॑मृ॒तूँरनु॑ |
तवेद्धि स॒ख्यमस्तृ॑तम् ||
Drink Soma after the Ṛtus, from the Brāhmaṇa's bounty: undissolved, O Indra, is thy friendship's bond.
O Indra, drink Soma from the Brahmana’s gift according to the seasons; for your friendship is indeed unbroken.
Indra drinks ‘ṛtū̃r anu’ from Brāhmaṇād Rādhasaḥ; his Sakhyam is Astṛtam—uncut. Seasonal offering from sacred knowledge-gift sustains an indestructible sakha-bond with conscious will.
Feed important friendships on a recurring, ordered cadence. Bonds stay ‘uncut’ when nourished regularly from sincere shared value, not only in emergencies.
1.15.6
यु॒वं दक्षं॑ धृतव्रत॒ मित्रा॑वरुण दू॒ळभ॑म् |
ऋ॒तुना॑ य॒ज्ञमा॑शाथे ||
Mitra, Varuṇa, ye whose ways are firm—a Power that none deceives—, With Ṛtu ye have reached the rite.
O Mitra and Varuna, firm in vow, you have attained by Ṛtu the sacrifice and the discernment that cannot be deceived.
Mitra-Varuna as Dhṛtavrata reach Yajña and Dakṣam Dūḷabham through Ṛtu. Moral covenant and undeceivable skill arrive when harmony and cosmic conscience enter seasonal order.
Integrity and sharp discernment show up when you keep vows and honor timing. Trustworthy excellence is seasonal discipline, not sporadic inspiration.
1.15.7
द्र॒वि॒णो॒दा द्रवि॑णसो॒ ग्राव॑हस्तासो अध्व॒रे |
य॒ज्ञेषु॑ दे॒वमी॑ळते ||
The Soma-pressers, fain for wealth, praise the Wealth-giver in the rite, In sacrifices praise the God.
Seekers of treasure, stone-pressers in hand at the harmless rite, praise the Wealth-giving god in the sacrifices.
Draviṇasaḥ with Grāvahastāsaḥ in Adhvara praise Draviṇodā. Labor of pressing Soma and longing for rightful Draviṇa converge on the deity who gives true wealth—effort and aspiration united.
Praise and pursue the principle that rewards honest productive work. Wealth-seeking detached from craft becomes extractive; craft without aspiration stays poor.
1.15.8
द्र॒वि॒णो॒दा द॑दातु नो॒ वसू॑नि॒ यानि॑ शृण्वि॒रे |
दे॒वेषु॒ ता व॑नामहे ||
May the Wealth-giver grant to us riches that shall be far renowned. These things we gain, among the Gods.
May the Wealth-giver grant us the treasures that are heard of afar; among the gods we seek those goods.
Draviṇodā is asked for Vasūni ‘yāni śṛṇvire’—renowned treasures—sought ‘deveṣu’. True wealth has śravaṇa-worthiness and divine standing; not all gains are Vasu in the Vedic sense.
Aim for resources that can bear public reputation and ethical scrutiny. Seek goods that stand ‘among the gods’ of your highest standards.
1.15.9
द्र॒वि॒णो॒दाः पि॑पीषति जु॒होत॒ प्र च॑ तिष्ठत |
ने॒ष्ट्रादृ॒तुभि॑रिष्यत ||
He with the Ṛtu fain would drink, Wealth-giver, from the Neṣṭar's bowl. Haste, give your offering, and depart.
The Wealth-giver desires to drink with the seasons from the Neṣṭar’s cup; offer quickly and take your places.
Draviṇodā ‘pipīṣati’ with Ṛtus from Neṣṭrāt—urgency (‘juhota pra ca tiṣṭhata’) meets divine thirst. When wealth-grace is ready to drink, human hesitation wastes the ṛtu.
When opportunity and enabling grace are ready, act promptly. Over-deliberation past the ripe moment turns abundance away.
1.15.10
यत् त्वा॑ तु॒रीय॑मृ॒तुभि॒र्द्रवि॑णोदो॒ यजा॑महे |
अध॑ स्मा नो द॒दिर्भ॑व ||
As we this fourth time, Wealth-giver, honour thee with the Ṛtus, be A Giver bountiful to us.
Since we worship you, O Wealth-giver, for the fourth time with the seasons, then indeed be a giver to us.
Turiya ṛtu-yajña to Draviṇodā requests ‘dadir bhava’—become the giver. Persistence through seasonal cycles (fourth offering) ripens the relationship of giving; constancy invites Maghavan-like response.
Repeated, rhythmic investment builds the right to expect generative return. Consistency across cycles outweighs one dramatic ask.
1.15.11
अश्वि॑ना॒ पिब॑तं॒ मधु॒ दीद्य॑ग्नी शुचिव्रता |
ऋ॒तुना॑ यज्ञवाहसा ||
Drink ye the meath, O Aśvins bright with flames, whose acts are pure, who with Ṛtus accept the sacrifice.
O Ashvins, flame-bright and pure in vow, drink the honey with Ṛtu, you who convey the sacrifice.
Ashvins as Dīdyagnī, Śucivratā, and Yajñavāhasā drink Madhu ṛtunā. Twin healers of pure vow convey yajña; seasonal honey-drinking allies restorative vitality to sacred timing.
Invite restorative, ethical partnership into your timed commitments. Healing energy should travel with pure vows and seasonal wisdom.
1.15.12
गार्ह॑पत्येन सन्त्य ऋ॒तुना॑ यज्ञ॒नीर॑सि |
दे॒वान् दे॑वय॒ते य॑ज ||
With Ṛtu, through the house-fire, thou, kind Giver, guidest sacrifice: Worship the Gods for the pious man.
O benevolent one, through the household fire you are leader of sacrifice with Ṛtu; worship the gods for the god-seeking person.
Closing on Gārhapatya: Agni as Santya, Yajñanī with Ṛtu, worships Devas for the Devayate. Domestic fire is the seasonal guide of yajña—Sanātana life roots cosmic offering in the household flame.
Let household and daily-life practices guide your larger ideals in rhythm. Sacred aspiration that never touches home fire remains incomplete.
