This is the Ralph T.H. Griffith English translation of the Rig Veda.

 

It is not a very good translation. The author misses some really basic meanings, like in the Purusha-sookta hymn - it is completely butchered.

 

Translations by the Indian scholars are far, far superior.

Thanks for clarification. This website reads, //www.sacred-texts.com/

and is in this way inducing people to believe that there're high quality sacred texts. As you say, rather a disservice.
