इहैव ध्रुवा प्रति तिष्ठ शालेऽश्वावती गोमती सूनृतावती । ऊर्जस्वती घृतवती पयस्वत्युच्छ्रयस्व महते सौभगाय
Remain firm here, O house, with horses, with cattle, with pleasant speech, with strength, with ghee, with milk; rise up for great good fortune.
धरुण्यसि शाले बृहच्छन्दाः पूतिधान्या । आ त्वा वत्सो गमेदा कुमार आ धेनवः सायमास्पन्दमानाः
You are established, O house, with broad shelter and pure grain. May the calf come to you, the boy, may the cows return to you in the evening, stirring.
इमां शालां सविता वायुरिन्द्रो बृहस्पतिर्नि मिनोतु प्रजानन् । उक्षन्तूद्ना मरुतो घृतेन भगो नो राजा नि कृषिं तनोतु
May Savitṛ, Vāyu, Indra, and Bṛhaspati establish this house, knowing. May the Maruts sprinkle it with ghee; may Bhaga, our king, extend our cultivation.
मानस्य पत्नि शरणा स्योना देवी देवेभिर्निमितास्यग्रे । तृणं वसाना सुमना असस्त्वमथास्मभ्यं सहवीरं रयिं दाः
Wife of the mind, shelter, gentle goddess, created by the gods at the beginning, wearing grass, kindly, without malice, grant us wealth with strong sons.
ऋतेन स्थूणामधि रोह वंशोग्रो विराजन्न् अप वृङ्क्ष्व शत्रून् । मा ते रिषन्न् उपसत्तारो गृहाणां शाले शतं जीवेम शरदः सर्ववीराः
Climb the pillar with truth, O bamboo, shining, drive away enemies. May those who approach not harm you; O house, may we live a hundred autumns, all heroes.
एमां कुमारस्तरुण आ वत्सो जगता सह । एमां परिस्रुतः कुम्भ आ दध्नः कलशैरगुः
Here the young boy, the calf, comes with the living; here the flowing jar, the vessel of curds, is brought with the pots.
पूर्णं नारि प्र भर कुम्भमेतं घृतस्य धाराममृतेन संभृताम् । इमां पातॄन् अमृतेन समङ्ग्धीष्टापूर्तमभि रक्षात्येनाम्
Bring forth, O woman, this full jar, a stream of ghee, gathered with nectar. Mix these vessels with nectar; may fulfilled sacrifice and offering protect this one.
इमा आपः प्र भराम्ययक्ष्मा यक्ष्मनाशनीः । गृहान् उप प्र सीदाम्यमृतेन सहाग्निना
I bring these waters, free from sickness, destroyers of disease. I enter the houses with nectar and with Agni.
यददः संप्रयतीरहावनदता हते । तस्मादा नद्यो नाम स्थ ता वो नामानि सिन्धवः
When the flowing ones moved together, sounding, unharmed, from that you are called rivers; these are your names, O streams.
यत्प्रेषिता वरुणेनाच्छीभं समवल्गत । तदाप्नोदिन्द्रो वो यतीस्तस्मादापो अनु ष्ठन
When sent by Varuṇa, you rushed swiftly, then Indra attained you, O waters; therefore, waters, you flow onward.
अपकामं स्यन्दमाना अवीवरत वो हि कम् । इन्द्रो वः शक्तिभिर्देवीस्तस्माद्वार्नाम वो हितम्
Flowing without desire, you did not stop, for indeed your pleasure is in this. Indra, with his powers, has set boundaries for you goddesses; therefore, your name is 'waters.'
एकः वो देवोऽप्यतिष्ठत्स्यन्दमाना यथावशम् । उदानिषुर्महीरिति तस्मादुदकमुच्यते
One god alone stood over you, O flowing ones, according to his will. He lifted you up, saying, 'Great is she'; therefore, you are called water.
आपो भद्रा घृतमिदाप आसन्न् अग्नीषोमौ बिभ्रत्याप इत्ताः । तीव्रो रसो मधुपृचामरंगम आ मा प्राणेन सह वर्चसा गमेत्
O auspicious waters, you are like clarified butter; you carry Agni and Soma, you are called waters. Your sharp essence, mingled with honey, let it come to me together with breath and brilliance.
आदित्पश्याम्युत वा शृणोम्या मा घोषो गच्छति वाङ्मासाम् । मन्ये भेजानो अमृतस्य तर्हि हिरण्यवर्णा अतृपं यदा वः
From you I see, and also I hear; your sound reaches me, O speech of the waters. I think you are the distributors of immortality, golden-hued, never sated when it comes to you.
इदं व आपो हृदयमयं वत्स ऋतावरीः । इहेत्थमेत शक्वरीर्यत्रेदं वेशयामि वः
This, O waters, is your heart, O calves, keepers of truth. Here, just so, O Shakvaris, I arrange this for you.
सं वो गोष्ठेन सुषदा सं रय्या सं सुभूत्या । अहर्जातस्य यन् नाम तेना वः सं सृजामसि
May you be united with the cattle-pen, with good dwelling, with wealth, with prosperity. By the name of the newborn day, with that we unite you.
सं वः सृजत्वर्यमा सं पूषा सं बृहस्पतिः । समिन्द्रो यो धनंजयो मयि पुष्यत यद्वसु
May Aryaman unite you, may Pushan, may Brihaspati; may Indra, the winner of wealth, prosper the riches that are in me.
संजग्माना अबिभ्युषीरस्मिन् गोष्ठे करीषिणीः । बिभ्रतीः सोम्यं मध्वनमीवा उपेतन
Having come together, fearless, in this cattle-pen, O cows, bearing the sweet drink of Soma, come near.
इहैव गाव एतनेहो शकेव पुष्यत । इहैवोत प्र जायध्वं मयि संज्ञानमस्तु वः
Here, O cows, thrive like the Shari-shaka plant; here indeed be born, and may understanding be among you and me.
शिवो वो गोष्ठो भवतु शारिशाकेव पुष्यत । इहैवोत प्र जायध्वं मया वः सं सृजामसि
May your cattle-pen be auspicious, thrive like the Shari-shaka plant; here indeed be born, with you I unite.
मया गावो गोपतिना सचध्वमयं वो गोष्ठ इह पोषयिष्णुः । रायस्पोषेण बहुला भवन्तीर्जीवा जीवन्तीरुप वः सदेम
With me, the lord of cattle, be united; this cattle-pen here will nourish you. With the abundance of wealth, may you become many; living, may we dwell with you, living.
इन्द्रमहं वणिजं चोदयामि स न ऐतु पुरएता नो अस्तु । नुदन्न् अरातिं परिपन्थिनं मृगं स ईशानो धनदा अस्तु मह्यम्
I urge Indra, the merchant; let him come, let him be our leader. Driving away enmity and the thief, may he, the lord, the giver of wealth, be mine.
ये पन्थानो बहवो देवयाना अन्तरा द्यावापृथिवी संचरन्ति । ते मा जुषन्तां पयसा घृतेन यथा क्रीत्वा धनमाहराणि
The many paths of the gods that move between heaven and earth—may they favor me with milk and ghee, so that, having made a purchase, I may bring home wealth.
इध्मेनाग्न इच्छमानो घृतेन जुहोमि हव्यं तरसे बलाय । यावदीशे ब्रह्मणा वन्दमान इमां धियं शतसेयाय देवीम्
With fuel, O Agni, desiring, with ghee I offer the oblation for speed and strength. As long as I am able, honoring the Brahman, I send forth this prayer to the goddess for a hundredfold gain.
इमामग्ने शरणिं मीमृषो नो यमध्वानमगाम दूरम् । शुनं नो अस्तु प्रपणो विक्रयश्च प्रतिपणः फलिनं मा कृणोतु । इदं हव्यं संविदानौ जुषेथां शुनं नो अस्तु चरितमुत्थितं च
O Agni, consider this refuge for us, so that we may reach the distant path. May our bargaining and selling be successful, may the exchange yield fruit. May you two, knowing this offering, accept it; may our undertakings, both begun and completed, be successful.
येन धनेन प्रपणं चरामि धनेन देवा धनमिच्छमानः । तन् मे भूयो भवतु मा कनीयोऽग्ने सातघ्नो देवान् हविषा नि षेध
With the wealth by which I conduct my trade, with that wealth, O gods, desiring wealth, may it become greater for me, not less. O Agni, destroyer of foes, seat the gods with the offering.
येन धनेन प्रपणं चरामि धनेन देवा धनमिच्छमानः । तस्मिन् म इन्द्रो रुचिमा दधातु प्रजापतिः सविता सोमो अग्निः
With the wealth by which I conduct my trade, with that wealth, O gods, desiring wealth, may Indra, radiant, place favor in it for me—Prajapati, Savitar, Soma, and Agni.
उप त्वा नमसा वयं होतर्वैश्वानर स्तुमः । स नः प्रजास्वात्मसु गोषु प्राणेषु जागृहि
To you we come with reverence, O Hotar, O Vaiśvānara, we praise you. Watch over us among offspring, in ourselves, in cattle, in life.
विश्वाहा ते सदमिद्भरेमाश्वायेव तिष्ठते जातवेदः । रायस्पोषेण समिषा मदन्तो मा ते अग्ने प्रतिवेशा रिषाम
O Jātavedas, may all this always remain firm for you, as a horse stands steady. Rejoicing together with abundance of wealth, may we not suffer harm from our neighbors, O Agni.
प्रातरग्निं प्रातरिन्द्रं हवामहे प्रातर्मित्रावरुणा प्रातरश्विना । प्रातर्भगं पूषणं ब्रह्मणस्पतिं प्रातः सोममुत रुद्रं हवामहे
In the morning we call Agni, in the morning we call Indra, in the morning Mitra and Varuṇa, in the morning the Aśvins; in the morning we call Bhaga, Pūṣan, Brahmaṇaspati, in the morning Soma and also Rudra.
