देवेभ्यो हि प्रथमं यज्ञियेभ्योऽमृतत्वं सुवसि भागमुत्तमम् । आदिद्दामानं सवितर्व्यूर्णुषेऽनूचीना जीविता मानुषेभ्यः
For to the gods, the first and most worshipful, you, Savitar, bestow immortality, the highest share; from there you loosen the bonds, Savitar, for the living, granting lives to mortals.
अचित्ती यच्चकृमा दैव्ये जने दीनैर्दक्षैः प्रभूती पूरुषत्वता । देवेषु च सवितर्मानुषेषु च त्वं नो अत्र सुवतादनागसः
Whatever unconscious wrong we have done among the divine hosts, with feeble powers, through human weakness, among gods and among men, O Savitar, may you grant us sinlessness here.
न प्रमिये सवितुर्दैव्यस्य तद्यथा विश्वं भुवनं धारयिष्यति । यत्पृथिव्या वरिमन्ना स्वङ्गुरिर्वर्ष्मन्दिवः सुवति सत्यमस्य तत्
The measure of the divine Savitar cannot be surpassed, as he upholds all the world; whatever breadth of earth, or the space of the sky, he truly bestows that.
इन्द्रज्येष्ठान्बृहद्भ्यः पर्वतेभ्यः क्षयाँ एभ्यः सुवसि पस्त्यावतः । यथायथा पतयन्तो वियेमिर एवैव तस्थुः सवितः सवाय ते
From the mountains, great and Indra-favored, from the dwellings, you, Savitar, bestow prosperity on the household; as the birds fly forth in various ways, so, Savitar, your impulses remain steadfast.
ये ते त्रिरहन्सवितः सवासो दिवेदिवे सौभगमासुवन्ति । इन्द्रो द्यावापृथिवी सिन्धुरद्भिरादित्यैर्नो अदितिः शर्म यंसत्
Those companions of yours, O Savitar, who, three times each day, swiftly bring good fortune—may Indra, Heaven and Earth, the river Sindhu with the waters, and Aditi with the Adityas, grant us shelter.
को वस्त्राता वसवः को वरूता द्यावाभूमी अदिते त्रासीथां नः । सहीयसो वरुण मित्र मर्तात्को वोऽध्वरे वरिवो धाति देवाः
Who among you, O Vasus, is the giver of garments? Who is the protector? May Heaven and Earth, O Aditi, keep us from fear. O mighty Varuna and Mitra, who among you gods grants passage at the sacrifice for mortals?
प्र ये धामानि पूर्व्याण्यर्चान्वि यदुच्छान्वियोतारो अमूराः । विधातारो वि ते दधुरजस्रा ऋतधीतयो रुरुचन्त दस्माः
Those who, from the beginning, have set forth the ancient ordinances—when they ascend, those unfailing ones, the wise, have established the everlasting laws; the wondrous ones shine with righteous thoughts.
प्र पस्त्यामदितिं सिन्धुमर्कैः स्वस्तिमीळे सख्याय देवीम् । उभे यथा नो अहनी निपात उषासानक्ता करतामदब्धे
With hymns I praise Aditi, the river Sindhu, for well-being and friendship, the divine one. As both Day and Night fall upon us, may the undeceivable Ushas and Night act for our benefit.
व्यर्यमा वरुणश्चेति पन्थामिषस्पतिः सुवितं गातुमग्निः । इन्द्राविष्णू नृवदु षु स्तवाना शर्म नो यन्तममवद्वरूथम्
Aryaman and Varuna have stretched out the paths; the Lord of food, Agni, leads to good fortune. O Indra and Vishnu, praised among men, bring us shelter and protection, and come to our aid.
आ पर्वतस्य मरुतामवांसि देवस्य त्रातुरव्रि भगस्य । पात्पतिर्जन्यादंहसो नो मित्रो मित्रियादुत न उरुष्येत्
From the mountain, may the protections of the Maruts, of the god Bhaga the savior, come to us. May Mitra, the lord, guard us from harm born among men, and may he not let us be oppressed.
नू रोदसी अहिना बुध्न्येन स्तुवीत देवी अप्येभिरिष्टैः । समुद्रं न संचरणे सनिष्यवो घर्मस्वरसो नद्यो अप व्रन्
Now let Heaven and Earth, with the serpent of the deep, be praised as goddesses with these chosen offerings. Like rivers flowing together to the sea, may the streams, full of warmth and sweetness, unite their waters.
देवैर्नो देव्यदितिर्नि पातु देवस्त्राता त्रायतामप्रयुच्छन् । नहि मित्रस्य वरुणस्य धासिमर्हामसि प्रमियं सान्वग्नेः
May the goddess Aditi, with the gods, protect us; may the god, the savior, save us without delay. For we are not worthy to transgress the command of Mitra and Varuna, nor the path of Agni.
अग्निरीशे वसव्यस्याग्निर्महः सौभगस्य । तान्यस्मभ्यं रासते
Agni is the lord of wealth, Agni is the lord of great good fortune. May he bestow these upon us.
उषो मघोन्या वह सूनृते वार्या पुरु । अस्मभ्यं वाजिनीवति
O Dawn, bring us generous gifts, O gracious one, many prizes; bring them to us, endowed with strength.
तत्सु नः सविता भगो वरुणो मित्रो अर्यमा । इन्द्रो नो राधसा गमत्
May Savitar, Bhaga, Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman, and Indra come to us with their bounty.
मही द्यावापृथिवी इह ज्येष्ठे रुचा भवतां शुचयद्भिरर्कैः । यत्सीं वरिष्ठे बृहती विमिन्वन्रुवद्धोक्षा पप्रथानेभिरेवैः
Great Heaven and Earth, be present here, supreme, shining with pure rays. When you, the greatest and vast, measured out the wide spaces, the mighty bull spread them forth with his powers.
देवी देवेभिर्यजते यजत्रैरमिनती तस्थतुरुक्षमाणे । ऋतावरी अद्रुहा देवपुत्रे यज्ञस्य नेत्री शुचयद्भिरर्कैः
The goddess, together with the gods worthy of worship, is honored with sacrifices; she stands firm, unshaken. True to order, free from guile, daughters of the god, leaders of the sacrifice, shining with pure hymns.
स इत्स्वपा भुवनेष्वास य इमे द्यावापृथिवी जजान । उर्वी गभीरे रजसी सुमेके अवंशे धीरः शच्या समैरत्
He alone, self-dependent among beings, who begot these Heaven and Earth—he, wise, with his power, joined together the broad and deep realms, harmonizing them in their foundations.
नू रोदसी बृहद्भिर्नो वरूथैः पत्नीवद्भिरिषयन्ती सजोषाः । उरूची विश्वे यजते नि पातं धिया स्याम रथ्यः सदासाः
Now, Heaven and Earth, grant us great protections, united like spouses, eager to help. May you, worshipped by all, guard us; by your wisdom, may we always be charioteers at the sacrifice.
प्र वां महि द्यवी अभ्युपस्तुतिं भरामहे । शुची उप प्रशस्तये
To you both, Heaven and Earth, we bring a great hymn of praise; pure ones, come near for our glorification.
पुनाने तन्वा मिथः स्वेन दक्षेण राजथः । ऊह्याथे सनादृतम्
Renewing yourselves, each in your own form, you rule with your inherent power; you have upheld order from of old.
मही मित्रस्य साधथस्तरन्ती पिप्रती ऋतम् । परि यज्ञं नि षेदथुः
Great is the aid of Mitra, crossing over, upholding truth; you have encompassed the sacrifice and sat down around it.
क्षेत्रस्य पतिना वयं हितेनेव जयामसि । गामश्वं पोषयित्न्वा स नो मृळातीदृशे
With the Lord of the field as our ally, we shall conquer as with a chariot; may he, who nourishes cattle and horses, be gracious to us in this way.
क्षेत्रस्य पते मधुमन्तमूर्मिं धेनुरिव पयो अस्मासु धुक्ष्व । मधुश्चुतं घृतमिव सुपूतमृतस्य नः पतयो मृळयन्तु
O Lord of the field, pour out for us a sweet, abundant wave, like a cow her milk; may the lords of nectar favor us with honey-dripping, well-purified ghee.
मधुमतीरोषधीर्द्याव आपो मधुमन्नो भवत्वन्तरिक्षम् । क्षेत्रस्य पतिर्मधुमान्नो अस्त्वरिष्यन्तो अन्वेनं चरेम
May the plants be sweet, may the heavens and waters be sweet, may the midspace become full of sweetness; may the Lord of the field be sweet to us, and may we move without harm upon him.
शुनं वाहाः शुनं नरः शुनं कृषतु लाङ्गलम् । शुनं वरत्रा बध्यन्तां शुनमष्ट्रामुदिङ्गय
May the oxen be auspicious for us, may the men be auspicious, may the plough be auspicious as it tills; may the yokes be tied auspiciously, and may the goad be raised with good fortune.
शुनासीराविमां वाचं जुषेथां यद्दिवि चक्रथुः पयः । तेनेमामुप सिञ्चतम्
O Śunāsīra, accept this speech of ours, you who made the milk in the sky; with that, sprinkle this field.
अर्वाची सुभगे भव सीते वन्दामहे त्वा । यथा नः सुभगाससि यथा नः सुफलाससि
Come near, O fortunate Sītā, we honor you; so that you may be gracious to us, so that you may be fruitful for us.
इन्द्रः सीतां नि गृह्णातु तां पूषानु यच्छतु । सा नः पयस्वती दुहामुत्तरामुत्तरां समाम्
May Indra take hold of Sītā, may Pūṣan settle her; may she, rich in milk, yield for us harvest after harvest.
शुनं नः फाला वि कृषन्तु भूमिं शुनं कीनाशा अभि यन्तु वाहैः । शुनं पर्जन्यो मधुना पयोभिः शुनासीरा शुनमस्मासु धत्तम्
May our ploughshares till the earth with good fortune, may the ploughmen approach with their teams in auspiciousness; may the rain-cloud with honey and milk, may Śunāsīra, bestow prosperity upon us.
