संज्ञानं नः स्वेभिः संज्ञानमरणेभिः । संज्ञानमश्विना युवमिहास्मासु नि यच्छतम्
May there be understanding among us and our own people, understanding among our allies. O Aśvins, grant understanding here among us.
सं जानामहै मनसा सं चिकित्वा मा युष्महि मनसा दैव्येन । मा घोषा उत्स्थुर्बहुले विनिर्हते मेषुः पप्तदिन्द्रस्याहन्यागते
Let us unite in thought, let us unite in understanding; may we not be divided in mind by divine will. Let not loud shouts arise in the assembly, nor confusion when Indra's day arrives.
अमुत्रभूयादधि यद्यमस्य बृहस्पते अभिशस्तेरमुञ्चः । प्रत्यौहतामश्विना मृत्युमस्मद्देवानामग्ने भिषजा शचीभिः
If we have been bound by a curse in another place, O Bṛhaspati, release us from it. May the Aśvins drive away death from us; O Agni, physician of the gods, protect us with your powers.
सं क्रामतं मा जहीतं शरीरं प्राणापानौ ते सयुजाविह स्ताम् । शतं जीव शरदो वर्धमानोऽग्निष्टे गोपा अधिपा वसिष्ठः
Cross over together, do not abandon the body; may your life-breaths remain united here. Live a hundred autumns, growing strong; Agni is your guardian, Vasiṣṭha your lord.
आयुर्यत्ते अतिहितं पराचैरपानः प्राणः पुनरा ताविताम् । अग्निष्टदाहार्निर्ऋतेरुपस्थात्तदात्मनि पुनरा वेशयामि ते
May your life, which has gone far away, your outgoing and incoming breath, return again. May Agni draw you back from the grasp of Nirṛti; I restore all this to you, into yourself.
मेमं प्राणो हासीन् मो अपानोऽवहाय परा गात्। सप्तर्षिभ्य एनं परि ददामि ते एनं स्वस्ति जरसे वहन्तु
Let not your breath depart, nor your vital air go far away. I entrust this to the Seven Sages; may they carry it safely to old age for you.
प्र विषतं प्राणापानावनड्वाहाविव व्रजम् । अयं जरिम्णः शेवधिररिष्ट इह वर्धताम्
Let your breath and vital air flow forth like two oxen yoked to a cart. May this store of old age, free from harm, grow here.
आ ते प्राणं सुवामसि परा यक्ष्मं सुवामि ते । आयुर्नो विश्वतो दधदयमग्निर्वरेण्यः
I call back your breath to you; I drive away disease from you. May this excellent Agni establish life everywhere.
उद्वयं तमसस्परि रोहन्तो नाकमुत्तमम् । देवं देवत्रा सूर्यमगन्म ज्योतिरुत्तमम्
Rising up from the darkness, ascending to the highest heaven, we have reached the god among gods, the Sun, the supreme light.
ऋचं साम यजामहे याभ्यां कर्माणि कुर्वते । एते सदसि राजतो यज्ञं देवेषु यच्छतः
We offer the Ṛc and Sāman, by which deeds are performed. These, shining in the assembly, present the sacrifice to the gods.
ये ते पन्थानोऽव दिवो येभिर्विश्वमैरयः । तेभिः सुम्नया धेहि नो वसो
Those paths of yours in the sky, by which you move all things—by those, O gracious one, lead us to well-being.
तिरश्चिराजेरसितात्पृदाकोः परि संभृतम् । तत्कङ्कपर्वणो विषमियं वीरुदनीनशत्
Collected from the long-lived, from the black ant, from the earth mound, I gather this, the poison of the scorpion's joint, the hundred roots.
इयं वीरुन् मधुजाता मधुश्चुन् मधुला मधूः । सा विह्रुतस्य भेषज्यथो मशकजम्भनी
This herb is born of honey, sweet with honey, full of honey. It is the remedy for the scattered, and the spell against the mosquito.
यतो दष्टं यतो धीतं ततस्ते निर्ह्वयामसि । अर्भस्य तृप्रदंशिनो मशकस्यारसं विषम्
From wherever it has bitten, from wherever it has stung, from there we call it forth—the poison of the biting, stinging mosquito, without taste.
अयं यो वक्रो विपरुर्व्यङ्गो मुखानि वक्रा वृजिना कृणोषि । तानि त्वं ब्रह्मणस्पते इषीकामिव सं नमः
You who are crooked, deformed, twisted, who make faces crooked and cause harm—O Lord of Speech, straighten them as reeds are straightened.
अरसस्य शर्कोटस्य नीचीनस्योपसर्पतः । विषं ह्यस्यादिष्यथो एनमजीजभम्
The poison of the scorpion, the creeping, approaching one—this you have removed from him, and he has recovered.
न ते बाह्वोर्बलमस्ति न शीर्षे नोत मध्यतः । अथ किं पापयाऽमुया पुच्छे बिभर्ष्यर्भकम्
You have no strength in your arms, nor in your head, nor in your middle. Then why, with your evil tail, do you harm the child?
अदन्ति त्वा पिपीलिका वि वृश्चन्ति मयूर्यः । सर्वे भल ब्रवाथ शार्कोटमरसं विषम्
The ants bite you, the peafowl tear you apart. All creatures, speak out—the poison of the scorpion, tasteless.
य उभाभ्यां प्रहरसि पुच्छेन चास्येन च । आस्ये न ते विषं किमु ते पुच्छधावसत्
You who strike with both tail and mouth—there is no poison in your mouth; what then dwells in your tail?
यदाशसा वदतो मे विचुक्षुभे यद्याचमानस्य चरतो जनामनु । यदात्मनि तन्वो मे विरिष्टं सरस्वती तदा पृणद्घृतेन
Whatever has been disturbed in me as I speak, whatever as I beg or move among people, whatever has been scattered in my body—may Sarasvatī fill that with ghee.
सप्त क्षरन्ति शिशवे मरुत्वते पित्रे पुत्रासो अप्यवीवृतन्न् ऋतानि । उभे इदस्योभे अस्य राजत उभे यतेते उभे अस्य पुष्यतः
Seven sons flow for the child, for the father of the Maruts; the sons have revealed the truths. Both, both of these, both strive, both flourish for him.
इन्द्रावरुणा सुतपाविमं सुतं सोमं पिबतं मद्यं धृतव्रतौ । युवो रथो अध्वरो देववीतये प्रति स्वसरमुप यातु पीतये
Indra and Varuṇa, drink this pressed Soma, the intoxicating, well-prepared one, you who are firm in your vows. May your chariot, at the sacrifice, come to the offering for the gods, to drink at your own stream.
इन्द्रावरुणा मधुमत्तमस्य वृष्णः सोमस्य वृषणा वृषेथाम् । इदं वामन्धः परिषिक्तमासद्यास्मिन् बर्हिषि मादयेथाम्
O Indra and Varuṇa, may you both drink of the most honeyed, strong Soma; may you come to this pressed libation, sprinkled here, and rejoice upon this sacred grass.
यो नः शपादशपतः शपतो यश्च नः शपात्। वृक्ष इव विद्युता हत आ मूलादनु शुष्यतु
Whoever curses us, or does not curse us, or whoever curses us in any way—may he wither away from the root, like a tree struck by lightning.
ऊर्जं बिभ्रद्वसुवनिः सुमेधा अघोरेण चक्षुषा मित्रियेण । गृहान् ऐमि सुमना वन्दमानो रमध्वं मा बिभीत मत्
Bearing strength, giver of wealth, possessing good wisdom, with an unharmful, friendly gaze, I approach the houses, well-minded and reverent; rejoice, do not fear me.
इमे गृहा मयोभुव ऊर्जस्वन्तः पयस्वन्तः । पूर्णा वामेन तिष्ठन्तस्ते नो जानन्त्वायतः
These houses are bringers of joy, full of strength and abundance; they stand filled with plenty on the left—may they know us as we come.
येषामध्येति प्रवसन् येषु सौमनसो बहुः । गृहान् उप ह्वयामहे ते नो जानन्त्वायतः
In whose midst the traveler dwells, in whom there is much goodwill—we call upon those houses; may they know us as we come.
उपहूता भूरिधनाः सखायः स्वादुसंमुदः । अक्षुध्या अतृष्या स्त गृहा मास्मद्बिभीतन
Summoned are the wealthy friends, sweet in gathering; houses, be without hunger and without thirst—do not fear us.
उपहूता इह गाव उपहूता अजावयः । अथो अन्नस्य कीलाल उपहूतो गृहेषु
Summoned here are the cows, summoned are the goats and sheep; and also the essence of food is summoned into the houses.
सूनृतावन्तः सुभगा इरावन्तो हसामुदाः । अतृष्या अक्षुध्या स्त गृहा मास्मद्बिभीतन
Full of good speech, fortunate, rich in refreshment, with laughter and joy; houses, be without thirst and without hunger—do not fear us.
