________________ 164 VEDIC HYMNS. 1, 119, 3. sám yát mithảh paspridhånãsah ágmata subhé makhấh ámitâh gâyávah rane. When striving with each other they came together, for the sake of glory, the brisk (Maruts), immeasurable (in strength), panting for victory in the fight. Sayana : 'For the sake of brilliant wealth.' VII, 82, 5. marút-bhih ugráh súbham anyáh îyate. The other, the fearful (Indra), goes with the Maruts to glory. Såyana : 'He takes brilliant decoration.' I, 167, 6. & asthåpayanta yuvatím yúvânah subhé nímislâm. The Maruts, the youths, placed the maid (lightning on their chariot), their companion for victory (subhé nímislâm). Sayana : 'For the sake of water, or, on the brilliant chariot.' Cf. I, 127,6; 165, 1. VI, 62, 4. súbham priksham isham úrgam váhantà. The Asvins bringing glory, wealth, drink, and food. VIII, 26, 13. subhé kakråte, you bring him to glory. Subham-yavan is an epithet of the Maruts, I, 89, 7; V, 61, 13. Cf. subhra-yâvânâ, VIII, 26, 19 (Asvinau). Subham-ya, of the wind, IV, 3, 6. Subham-yú, of the rays of the dawn, X, 78, 7. Verse 4. Note 1. Sayana : 'With spotted deer for their horses.'
