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.
इहैव स्त मानु गात विश्वा रूपाणि पुष्यत । ऐष्यामि भद्रेणा सह भूयांसो भवता मया
Stay right here, do not depart; flourish in all forms; I will come with good fortune—may you grow greater together with me.
यदग्ने तपसा तप उपतप्यामहे तपः । प्रियाः श्रुतस्य भूयास्मायुष्मन्तः सुमेधसः
O Agni, by the heat of austerity, we perform our austerity; may we become dear to the learned, long-lived, and wise.
अग्ने तपस्तप्यामह उप तप्यामहे तपः । श्रुतानि शृण्वन्तः वयमायुष्मन्तः सुमेधसः
Agni, we practice austerity, we perform austerity; hearing the teachings, may we be long-lived and wise.
अयमग्निः सत्पतिर्वृद्धवृष्णो रथीव पत्तीन् अजयत्पुरोहितः । नाभा पृथिव्यां निहितो दविद्युतदधस्पदं कृणुतां ये पृतन्यवः
This Agni is the true lord, ever-strong, like a charioteer who conquers foot soldiers, the priest in front; set in the navel of the earth, he flashes without thunder—may those who strive make a firm foundation.
पृतनाजितं सहमानमग्निमुक्थ्यैर्हवामहे परमात्सधस्थात्। स नः पर्षदति दुर्गाणि विश्वा क्षामद्देवोऽति दुरितान्यग्निः
We invoke Agni, conqueror in battle, enduring, with hymns of praise, from the highest seat; may he lead us through all difficulties, may the god Agni carry us beyond all misfortunes.
इदं यत्कृष्णः शकुनिरभिनिष्पतन्न् अपीपतत्। आपो मा तस्मात्सर्वस्माद्दुरितात्पान्त्वंहसः
If the black bird flies out or falls down, may the waters protect us from all that misfortune and from evil.
इदं यत्कृष्णः शकुनिरवामृक्षन् निर्ऋते ते मुखेन । अग्निर्मा तस्मादेनसो गार्हपत्यः प्र मुञ्चतु
If the black bird cries out, O goddess of destruction, with your mouth—may the household fire, Agni, release us from that offense.
प्रतीचीनफलो हि त्वमपामार्ग रुरोहिथ । सर्वान् मच्छपथामधि वरीयो यवया इतः
For you, apāmārga, who bears fruit facing backward, have grown up; drive away from here all those who walk the path of harm.
यद्दुष्कृतं यच्छमलं यद्वा चेरिम पापया । त्वया तद्विश्वतोमुखापामार्गाप मृज्महे
Whatever wrong, whatever impurity, or whatever evil we have committed, with you, apāmārga, who faces all directions, we wipe it all away.
श्यावदता कुनखिना बण्डेन यत्सहासिम । अपामार्ग त्वया वयं सर्वं तदप मृज्महे
Whatever we have shared with the dark-toothed, ill-nailed, or the outcast, with you, apāmārga, we wipe all that away.
यद्यन्तरिक्षे यदि वात आस यदि वृक्षेषु यदि वोलपेषु । यदश्रवन् पशव उद्यमानं तद्ब्राह्मणं पुनरस्मान् उपैतु
Whether it was in the mid-air, or in the wind, or in the trees, or in the hollows—whatever the cattle heard rising up, may that Brāhmaṇa return to us again.
पुनर्मैत्विन्द्रियं पुनरात्मा द्रविणं ब्राह्मणं च । पुनरग्नयो धिष्ण्या यथास्थाम कल्पयन्तामिहैव
May my strength return, may my spirit, my wealth, and my Brāhmaṇa return; may the sacred fires, set in their proper places, be established here again.
सरस्वति व्रतेषु ते दिव्येषु देवि धामसु । जुषस्व हव्यमाहुतं प्रजां देवि ररास्व नः
O Sarasvatī, in your divine vows, in your heavenly abodes, O goddess, accept the offering that has been presented; O goddess, grant us offspring.
इदं ते हव्यं घृतवत्सरस्वतीदं पितॄणां हविरास्यं यत्। इमानि त उदिता शम्तमानि तेभिर्वयं मधुमन्तः स्याम
This is your offering, Sarasvatī, rich in ghee; this is the oblation for the Fathers, the food for their mouths. These are your most auspicious gifts—by them may we become full of sweetness.
शं नो वातो वातु शं नस्तपतु सूर्यः । अहानि शं भवन्तु नः शं रात्री प्रति धीयताम् । शमुषा नो व्युच्छतु
May the wind blow well for us, may the sun warm us kindly; may our days be auspicious, may our nights be so as well; may the dawn shine well for us.
यत्किं चासौ मनसा यच्च वाचा यज्ञैर्जुहोति हविषा यजुषा । तन् मृत्युना निर्ऋतिः संविदाना पुरा सत्यादाहुतिं हन्त्वस्य
Whatever he offers with mind, with speech, with sacrifices, with oblation, with the yajus—may Nirṛti, in accord with Death, destroy that offering before it reaches the truth.
यातुधाना निर्ऋतिरादु रक्षस्ते अस्य घ्नन्त्वनृतेन सत्यम् । इन्द्रेषिता देवा आजमस्य मथ्नन्तु मा तत्सं पादि यदसौ जुहोति
May the Yātudhānas and Nirṛti, taking hold, strike him with untruth, destroy his truth; may the gods, urged by Indra, crush his sacrifice—may that which he offers not reach its mark.
अजिराधिराजौ श्येनौ संपातिनाविव । आज्यं पृतन्यतो हतां यो नः कश्चाभ्यघायति
Like two swift kings, like two eagles swooping down, may the ghee, struck from the vessel, destroy whoever has harmed us.
अपाञ्चौ त उभौ बाहू अपि नह्याम्यास्यम् । अग्नेर्देवस्य मन्युना तेन तेऽवधिषं हविः
I bind both your arms behind you, I bind your mouth; with the wrath of Agni the god, with that I have struck down your oblation.
अपि नह्यामि ते बाहू अपि नह्याम्यास्यम् । अग्नेर्घोरस्य मन्युना तेनऽवधिषं हविः
I bind your arms, I bind your mouth; with the fierce wrath of Agni, with that I have struck down your oblation.
