यो वः शुष्मो हृदयेष्वन्तराकूतिर्या वो मनसि प्रविष्टा । तान्त्सीवयामि हविषा घृतेन मयि सजाता रमतिर्वो अस्तु
Whatever strength is in your hearts, whatever intention has entered your minds, I appease those with offering and ghee. May your kinship delight in me.
इहैव स्त माप याताध्यस्मत्पूषा परस्तादपथं वः कृणोतु । वास्तोष्पतिरनु वो जोहवीतु मयि सजाता रमतिः वो अस्तु
Remain here, do not depart. Let Pūṣan make a path for you beyond. Let the lord of the dwelling call you after. May your kinship delight in me.
सं वः पृच्यन्तां तन्वः सं मनांसि समु व्रता । सं वोऽयं ब्रह्मणस्पतिर्भगः सं वो अजीगमत्
May your bodies unite, your minds unite, your vows unite; may this Lord of Speech, Bhaga, unite you all together.
संज्ञपनं वो मनसोऽथो संज्ञपनं हृदः । अथो भगस्य यच्छ्रान्तं तेन संज्ञपयामि वः
May there be agreement among your minds, and likewise agreement in your hearts; and whatever of Bhaga is weary, by that I bring you into agreement.
यथादित्या वसुभिः सम्बभूवुर्मरुद्भिरुग्रा अहृणीयमानाः । एवा त्रिणामन्न् अहृणीयमान इमान् जनान्त्संमनसस्कृधीह
Just as the Adityas, mighty with the Vasus and the fierce Maruts, were not divided, so may these people here, not divided, be of one mind.
निरमुं नुद ओकसः सपत्नो यः पृतन्यति । नैर्बाध्येन हविषेन्द्र एनं पराशरीत्
Drive away that rival from your dwelling, who contends against you; with the offering of non-obstruction, O Indra, may he depart far away.
परमां तं परावतमिन्द्रो नुदतु वृत्रहा । यतो न पुनरायति शश्वतीभ्यः समाभ्यः
Let Indra, the slayer of Vritra, drive him to the farthest distance, from where he does not return for endless ages.
एतु तिस्रः परावत एतु पञ्च जनामति । एतु तिस्रोऽति रोचना यतो न पुनरायति । शश्वतीभ्यः समाभ्यो यावत्सूर्यो असद्दिवि
Let him go to three distant places, let him go among five peoples, let him pass beyond three regions of light, from where he does not return, for as many ages as the sun exists in the sky.
य एनं परिषीदन्ति समादधति चक्षसे । संप्रेद्धो अग्निर्जिह्वाभिरुदेतु हृदयादधि
Those who surround him, who set themselves against him to see, let the kindled Agni, with his tongues, enter their hearts.
अग्नेः साम्तपनस्याहमायुषे पदमा रभे । अद्धातिर्यस्य पश्यति धूममुद्यन्तमास्यतः
I take hold of the place of Agni's burning for long life, of him whose smoke the observer sees rising from his mouth.
यो अस्य समिधं वेद क्षत्रियेण समाहिताम् । नाभिह्वारे पदं नि दधाति स मृत्यवे
He who knows the kindling of this fire, established with the Kshatriya, and does not set its place at the navel, that one is destined for death.
नैनं घ्नन्ति पर्यायिणो न सन्नामव गच्छति । अग्नेर्यः क्षत्रियो विद्वान् नाम गृह्नाति आयुषे
Those who move around do not harm him, nor does he fall into misfortune; the Kshatriya who, knowing, takes the name of Agni, gains long life.
अस्थाद्द्यौरस्थात्पृथिव्यस्थाद्विश्वमिदं जगत्। आस्थाने पर्वता अस्थु स्थाम्न्यश्वामतिष्ठिपम्
He stood upon the sky, he stood upon the earth, upon this whole world; the mountains stood in their place, the standing horses I set in place.
य उदानत्परायणं य उदानण्न्यायनम् । आवर्तनं निवर्तनं यो गोपा अपि तं हुवे
He who knows the upward path, the departure, he who knows the return and the turning back, who is the protector—I call upon him.
जातवेदो नि वर्तय शतं ते सन्त्वावृतः । सहस्रं त उपावृतस्ताभिर्नः पुनरा कृधि
O Jatavedas, turn back; may a hundred return to you, may a thousand return to you; by these, restore us again.
तेन भूतेन हविषायमा प्यायतां पुनः । जायां यामस्मा आवाक्षुस्तां रसेनाभि वर्धताम्
With that being, with that offering, may you be filled again; may the wife whom we have brought home be increased with essence.
अभि वर्धतां पयसाभि राष्ट्रेण वर्धताम् । रय्या सहस्रवर्चसेमौ स्तामनुपक्षितौ
May she grow with nourishment, may she grow with prosperity; may these two, endowed with wealth and a thousandfold radiance, be unharmed.
त्वष्टा जायामजनयत्त्वष्टास्यै त्वां पतिम् । त्वष्टा सहस्रमायुंषि दीर्घमायुः कृणोतु वाम्
Tvashtar created the wife, Tvashtar made you her husband; may Tvashtar grant you both a thousand years, may he give you long life.
अयं नो नभसस्पतिः संस्फानो अभि रक्षतु । असमातिं गृहेषु नः
May this Lord of the Cloud, the mighty one, protect us, guarding us from discord in our homes.
त्वं नो नभसस्पते ऊर्जं गृहेसु धारय । आ पुष्टमेत्वा वसु
You, Lord of the Cloud, sustain strength in our homes; may you bring us abundance and wealth.
देव संस्फान सहस्रापोषस्येशिषे । तस्य नो रास्व तस्य नो धेहि तस्य ते भक्तिवांसः स्याम
O god of resounding might, lord of a thousand prosperities, you are the ruler; grant us a share of that, bestow that upon us, and may we be devoted to you.
अन्तरिक्षेण पतति विश्वा भूतावचाकशत्। शुनो दिव्यस्य यन् महस्तेना ते हविषा विधेम
He flies through the midspace, proclaiming all beings; to you, O divine one, for that great power, we offer this oblation.
ये त्रयः कालकाञ्जा दिवि देवा इव श्रिताः । तान्त्सर्वान् अह्व ऊतयेऽस्मा अरिष्टतातये
Those three dark ones, stationed in the sky like gods— I call upon all of them for aid, for our unharmed protection.
अप्सु ते जन्म दिवि ते सधस्थं समुद्रे अन्तर्महिमा ते पृथिव्याम् । शुनो दिव्यस्य यन् महस्तेना ते हविषा विधेम
Your birth is in the waters, your seat is in the sky, your greatness is within the ocean, and upon the earth; to you, O divine one, for that great power, we offer this oblation.
यन्तासि यच्छसे हस्तावप रक्षांसि सेधसि । प्रजां धनं च गृह्णानः परिहस्तो अभूदयम्
You are the restrainer, you hold back with your hands, you drive away the demons; taking hold of offspring and wealth, the restraining hand has arisen.
परिहस्त वि धारय योनिं गर्भाय धातवे । मर्यादे पुत्रमा धेहि तं त्वमा गमयागमे
O restraining hand, hold firm the womb for the bearing of offspring; place the son within the boundary, and bring him forth to us again and again.
यं परिहस्तमबिभरदितिः पुत्रकाम्या । त्वष्टा तमस्या आ बध्नाद्यथा पुत्रं जनाद्
That restraining hand which Aditi bore, desiring a son— Tvaṣṭṛ fastened it upon her, as one would bind a son to be born.
आगच्छत आगतस्य नाम गृह्णाम्यायतः । इन्द्रस्य वृत्रघ्नो वन्वे वासवस्य शतक्रतोः
Come, I accept the name of the one who has come, who approaches; I seek the favor of Indra, the slayer of Vṛtra, of Vāsava, the wielder of a hundred powers.
येन सूर्यां सावित्रीमश्विनोहतुः पथा । तेन मामब्रवीद्भगो जायामा वहतादिति
By that path by which Sāvitrī led the Sun, and the Aśvins led the way— by that, Bhaga spoke to me: 'Carry off a wife.'
यस्तेऽङ्कुशो वसुदानो बृहन्न् इन्द्र हिरण्ययः । तेना जनीयते जायां मह्यं धेहि शचीपते
That goad of yours, O Indra, bestower of wealth, great and golden— by that, may a wife be obtained; grant her to me, O lord of strength.
