Ṛgveda 5.2.5

Interpretations

Sri Aurobindo

Who were they that divorced my strength (maryakam; my host of men, my heroes, vira) from the cows ? For they (my men) had no warrior and protector of the kine. Let those who took them from me, release them; he knows and comes driving to us the cattle. (SABCL Vol. 10, p. 136)

Who were they that divorced my strength from the herds of Light ? Against them there was no protector nor any worker in this war. Let those that took them from me, release them to me again; for he with his conscious perceptions comes driving to us our lost herds of the radiance. (SABCL Vol. 10, p.368)

Who were they that divorced my strength from the herds of light ? Against them there was no protector nor any fighter in this war. Let those who seized them release them back to me, he has become aware and is driving back to me my herds of vision. (SABCL Vol. 11, p.204)
