यस्याः पुरो देवकृताः क्षेत्रे यस्या विकुर्वते । प्रजापतिः पृथिवीं विश्वगर्भामाशामाशां रण्यां नः कृणोतु
On whose fields the cities made by the gods stand, on whom they perform their works; may Prajapati make the earth, womb of all, fruitful for us in every region.
निधिं बिभ्रती बहुधा गुहा वसु मणिं हिरण्यं पृथिवी ददातु मे । वसूनि नो वसुदा रासमाना देवी दधातु सुमनस्यमाना
Bearing treasure in many forms, hidden wealth, may the earth give me jewels and gold; may the bountiful goddess, bestower of riches, grant us wealth and favor.
जनं बिभ्रती बहुधा विवाचसं नानाधर्माणं पृथिवी यथौकसम् । सहस्रं धारा द्रविणस्य मे दुहां ध्रुवेव धेनुरनपस्फुरन्ती
Bearing people of many kinds and many languages, of diverse customs, as a home, may the earth yield me a thousand streams of wealth, like a steady, unshaken cow.
यस्ते सर्पो वृश्चिकस्तृष्टदंश्मा हेमन्तजब्धो भृमलो गुहा शये । क्रिमिर्जिन्वत्पृथिवि यद्यदेजति प्रावृषि तन् नः सर्पन् मोप सृपद्यच्छिवं तेन नो मृड
Whatever serpent, scorpion, biting insect, winter-born, or lurking creature lies hidden in you, O earth—whatever moves, worm or crawling thing, in the rainy season—let not the serpent approach us; with what is auspicious, be gracious to us.
ये ते पन्थानो बहवो जनायना रथस्य वर्त्मानसश्च यातवे । यैः संचरन्त्युभये भद्रपापास्तं पन्थानं जयेमानमित्रमतस्करं यच्छिवं तेन नो मृड
Those many paths, created for people, the tracks for the chariot and the ways for travel—by which both good and evil move—may we conquer that path, free from enemies and thieves, auspicious; grant us favor through it.
मल्वं बिभ्रती गुरुभृद्भद्रपापस्य निधनं तितिक्षुः । वराहेण पृथिवी संविदाना सूकराय वि जिहीते मृगाय
Bearing soil, enduring the weight, patient with the end of both good and evil; Earth, united with the boar, gives herself to the boar, to the beast.
ये त आरण्याः पशवो मृगा वने हिताः सिंहा व्याघ्राः पुरुषादश्चरन्ति । उलं वृकं पृथिवि दुछुनामित ऋक्षीकां रक्षो अप बाधयास्मत्
Those wild animals, beasts of the forest, lions, tigers, cannibals who roam—drive away the wolf, Earth, the evil one, the bear, the demon, keep them away from us.

Those Gandharvas, Apsarases, spies, and Kimidins, all the ghosts and demons—drive them away from us, O Earth.
{५} यां द्विपादः पक्षिणः संपतन्ति हंसाः सुपर्णाः शकुना वयांसि । यस्यां वातो मातरिश्वेयते रजांसि कृण्वंश्च्यावयंश्च वृक्षान् । वातस्य प्रवामुपवामनु वात्यर्चिः
Upon whom two-footed birds descend—swans, eagles, birds, flying creatures—upon whom the wind, Mātariśvan, moves, stirring up dust and shaking trees; the wind’s force, its rush, its blaze.
यस्यां कृष्णमरुणं च संहिते अहोरात्रे विहिते भूम्यामधि । वर्षेण भूमिः पृथिवी वृतावृता सा नो दधातु भद्रया प्रिये धामनिधामनि
Upon whom black and red are joined, day and night established upon the earth; Earth, encircled by the year, let her give us a dwelling, beloved, in her auspicious abode.
द्यौश्च म इदं पृथिवी चान्तरिक्षं च मे व्यचः । अग्निः सूर्य आपो मेधां विश्वे देवाश्च सं ददुः
Heaven, Earth, and the atmosphere have given me their expanse; Agni, Sūrya, waters, intelligence, and all the gods have granted it together.
अहमस्मि सहमान उत्तरो नाम भूम्याम् । अभीषाडस्मि विश्वाषाडाशामाशां विषासहिः
I am enduring, I am the uppermost, named upon the earth; I am victorious, all-conquering, master of desires, destroyer of hopes.
अदो यद्देवि प्रथमाना पुरस्ताद्देवैरुक्ता व्यसर्पो महित्वम् । आ त्वा सुभूतमविशत्तदानीमकल्पयथाः प्रदिशश्चतस्रः
That greatness, O goddess, which was first spoken by the gods and spread forth—when you, well-born, entered, then you established the four directions.
ये ग्रामा यदरण्यं याः सभा अधि भूम्याम् । ये संग्रामाः समितयस्तेषु चारु वदेम ते
Those villages, that wilderness, those assemblies upon the earth; those battles, those gatherings—may we speak well among them.
अश्व इव रजो दुधुवे वि तान् जनान् य आक्षियन् पृथिवीं यादजायत । मन्द्राग्रेत्वरी भुवनस्य गोपा वनस्पतीनां गृभिरोषधीनाम्
Like a horse, the dust is stirred; those people who measured the earth were born; the foremost, delightful, guardian of the world, the grasp of the trees, the hold of the plants.
यद्वदामि मधुमत्तद्वदामि यदीक्षे तद्वनन्ति मा । त्विषीमान् अस्मि जूतिमान् अवान्यान् हन्मि दोधतः

शन्तिवा सुरभिः स्योना कीलालोध्नी पयस्वती । भूमिरधि ब्रवीतु मे पृथिवी पयसा सह
Peaceful, fragrant, pleasant, rich in milk, abundant in nourishment; let the earth speak for me, let the earth be with me, together with her milk.

Whom Viśvakarman sought with offerings, entered into the inner sea, into the dust; the vessel for enjoyment, placed secretly, which appeared openly among the mothers.
त्वमस्यावपनी जनानामदितिः कामदुघा पप्रथाना । यत्त ऊनं तत्त आ पूरयाति प्रजापतिः प्रथमजा ऋतस्य
You are the support of people, Aditi, wish-fulfilling, spreading forth; whatever is lacking, you fill it up; Prajāpati, first-born of truth.
उपस्थास्ते अनमीवा अयक्ष्मा अस्मभ्यं सन्तु पृथिवि प्रसूताः । दीर्घं न आयुः प्रतिबुध्यमाना वयं तुभ्यं बलिहृतः स्याम
May your lap be free from disease, without sickness, for us, O Earth, may your offspring be so; may we, awakening to long life, be those who offer to you.
भूमे मातर्नि धेहि मा भद्रया सुप्रतिष्ठितम् । संविदाना दिवा कवे श्रियां मा धेहि भूत्याम्
Mother Earth, place me well, firmly established in auspiciousness; united with heaven, O wise one, grant me glory in prosperity.
नडमा रोह न ते अत्र लोक इदं सीसं भागधेयं त एहि । यो गोषु यक्ष्मः पुरुषेषु यक्ष्मस्तेन त्वं साकमधराङ्परेहि
Grow, reed, grow; your place is not here; this lead is your portion, take it. That disease among cattle, that disease among people—together with it, go to the lowest depths.
अघशंसदुःशंसाभ्यां करेणानुकरेण च । यक्ष्मं च सर्वं तेनेतो मृत्युं च निरजामसि
With the two hands of the curse and the evil curse, and with the imitative hand, by this we drive away all disease and death.
निरितो मृत्युं निर्ऋतिं निररातिमजामसि । यो नो द्वेष्टि तमद्ध्यग्ने अक्रव्याद्यमु द्विष्मस्तमु ते प्र सुवामसि
We drive away death, destruction, and hostility; whoever hates us, O Agni, let him eat the flesh of the dead—him whom we hate, to you we hand over.
यद्यग्निः क्रव्याद्यदि वा व्याघ्र इमं गोष्ठं प्रविवेशान्योकाः । तं माषाज्यं कृत्वा प्र हिणोमि दूरं स गच्छत्वप्सुषदोऽप्यग्नीन्
If Agni the flesh-eater, or a tiger, or any other being has entered this cattle-pen, having made an offering of beans and butter, I drive him far away; let him go to the waters, or to other fires.
यत्त्वा क्रुद्धाः प्रचक्रुर्मन्युना पुरुषे मृते । सुकल्पमग्ने तत्त्वया पुनस्त्वोद्दीपयामसि
Whatever the angry ones have done to you in wrath, O Agni, against a dead man, with your favor we restore you again, we rekindle you.
पुनस्त्वादित्या रुद्रा वसवः पुनर्ब्रह्मा वसुनीतिरग्ने । पुनस्त्वा ब्रह्मणस्पतिराधाद्दीर्घायुत्वाय शतशारदाय
Again may the Ādityas, Rudras, Vasus, again may Brahmā and the givers of wealth, O Agni, again may Bṛhaspati grant you long life, for a hundred autumns.
यो अग्निः क्रव्यात्प्रविवेश नो गृहमिमं पश्यन्न् इतरं जातवेदसम् । तं हरामि पितृयज्ञाय दूरं स घर्ममिन्धां परमे सधस्थे
If the flesh-eating Agni has entered our house, seeing another Jātavedas, I remove him far away for the ancestral offering; let him kindle the sacred fire in the highest abode.
क्रव्यादमग्निं प्र हिणोमि दूरं यमराज्ञो गच्छतु रिप्रवाहः । इहायमितरो जातवेदा देवो देवेभ्यो हव्यं वहतु प्रजानन्
I drive the flesh-eating Agni far away; let the stream of enemies go to Yama, king of the dead. Here let the other Jātavedas, the god, carry the offering to the gods, knowing it.
क्रव्यादमग्निमिषितो हरामि जनान् दृंहन्तं वज्रेण मृत्युम् । नि तं शास्मि गार्हपत्येन विद्वान् पितॄणां लोकेऽपि भागो अस्तु
I remove the flesh-eating Agni, impelled, who slays people with the thunderbolt of death. I command him with the household fire, knowing; let his share be among the ancestors' world.
