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.
प्रातर्जितं भगमुग्रं हवामहे वयं पुत्रमदितेर्यो विधर्ता । आध्रश्चिद्यं मन्यमानस्तुरश्चिद्राजा चिद्यं भगं भक्षीत्याह
In the morning we call Bhaga, the mighty, the victorious, the son of Aditi, who is the distributor. Even the one who thinks himself oppressed, or the swift, or the king, says, 'Bhaga is the one who gives the share.'
भग प्रणेतर्भग सत्यराधो भगेमां धियमुदवा ददन् नः । भग प्र णो जनय गोभिरश्वैर्भग प्र नृभिर्नृवन्तः स्याम
O Bhaga, guide us forth, O Bhaga, true bestower, O Bhaga, grant us this thought. O Bhaga, produce for us cows and horses; O Bhaga, may we be men among men.
उतेदानीं भगवन्तः स्यामोत प्रपित्व उत मध्ये अह्नाम् । उतोदितौ मघवन्त्सूर्यस्य वयं देवानां सुमतौ स्याम
May we now be fortunate, may we be so at the beginning and in the middle of the day; and at the rising of the generous Sun, may we be in the favor of the gods.
भग एव भगवाँ अस्तु देवस्तेना वयं भगवन्तः स्याम । तं त्वा भग सर्व इज्जोहवीमि स नो भग पुरएता भवेह
May Bhaga alone, the divine Bhaga, be our portion; by him may we become fortunate. To you, O Bhaga, I call with all my heart; may you, O Bhaga, be our leader.
समध्वरायोषसो नमन्त दधिक्रावेव शुचये पदाय । अर्वाचीनं वसुविदं भगं मे रथमिवाश्वा वाजिन आ वहन्तु
The dawns, rich in sacrifice, bow down, like Dadhikrāvan for his pure path. May they bring to me Bhaga, the giver of wealth, coming near, like swift horses drawing a chariot.
अश्वावतीर्गोमतीर्न उषासो वीरवतीः सदमुच्छन्तु भद्राः । घृतं दुहाना विश्वतः प्रपीता यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः
May the dawns, rich in horses, rich in cows, rich in sons, always rise for us, auspicious. Milking ghee from every side, may you always protect us with well-being.
सीरा युञ्जन्ति कवयो युगा वि तन्वते पृथक्। धीरा देवेषु सुम्नयौ
The wise yoke the ploughs, they lay out the yokes, each separately; the thoughtful ones seek favor among the gods.
युनक्त सीरा वि युगा तनोत कृते योनौ वपतेह बीजम् । विराजः श्नुष्टिः सभरा असन् नो नेदीय इत्सृण्यः पक्वमा यवन्
Yoke the ploughs, lay out the yokes, sow the seed in the prepared furrow here. May the furrow, the share, the plough, and the team be for us; may the nearest clods yield the ripe grain for us.
लाङ्गलं पवीरवत्सुशीमं सोमसत्सरु । उदिद्वपतु गामविं प्रस्थावद्रथवाहनं पीबरीं च प्रफर्व्यम्
The plough with its well-made share, strong, with a good yoke, let it open the earth. Let it turn up the cow, the wealth, let the team move forward, let the ploughshare and the goad be ready.
इन्द्रः सीतां नि गृह्णातु तां पूषाभि रक्षतु । सा नः पयस्वती दुहामुत्तरामुत्तरां समाम्
May Indra take possession of Sītā, may Pūṣan protect her well. May she, rich in milk, yield for us, season after season, abundant produce.
