भुवनस्य पितरं गीर्भिराभी रुद्रं दिवा वर्धया रुद्रमक्तौ । बृहन्तमृष्वमजरं सुषुम्नमृधग्घुवेम कविनेषितासः
With hymns we magnify Rudra, father of the world, in the sky and in the sacrifice; the great, lofty, ageless, gracious one—may we call upon him, inspired by the sage.
आ युवानः कवयो यज्ञियासो मरुतो गन्त गृणतो वरस्याम् । अचित्रं चिद्धि जिन्वथा वृधन्त इत्था नक्षन्तो नरो अङ्गिरस्वत्
Come, O youthful, worshipful Maruts, to the praise of the singer, to the desired place. For you indeed increase even the unremarkable, thus, observing, O men, you follow the path of the Angirases.
प्र वीराय प्र तवसे तुरायाजा यूथेव पशुरक्षिरस्तम् । स पिस्पृशति तन्वि श्रुतस्य स्तृभिर्न नाकं वचनस्य विपः
Let him, like a herdsman guarding cattle, come forth for the hero, for the mighty, for the swift; he touches the summit of praise with his form, like rivers reaching the height of speech.
यो रजांसि विममे पार्थिवानि त्रिश्चिद्विष्णुर्मनवे बाधिताय । तस्य ते शर्मन्नुपदद्यमाने राया मदेम तन्वा तना च
He who measured the earthly realms, thrice, Viṣṇu, for Manu who was hard-pressed—may we rejoice in the shelter of that one, with body and with offspring, when wealth is bestowed.
तन्नोऽहिर्बुध्न्यो अद्भिरर्कैस्तत्पर्वतस्तत्सविता चनो धात् । तदोषधीभिरभि रातिषाचो भगः पुरंधिर्जिन्वतु प्र राये
May Ahibudhnya grant us that with the waters, may the Sun, may the Mountain, may Savitṛ bestow it upon us; may the givers of riches, the plants, Bhaga, and Puraṃdhi, incite us to wealth.
नू नो रयिं रथ्यं चर्षणिप्रां पुरुवीरं मह ऋतस्य गोपाम् । क्षयं दाताजरं येन जनान्स्पृधो अदेवीरभि च क्रमाम विश आदेवीरभ्यश्नवाम
Now may he give us wealth with chariots, renowned among men, rich in heroes, great, the guardian of truth; by whom we may obtain undying dwelling among people, and overcome the godless, and enter into the divine hosts, and partake of the divine.
हुवे वो देवीमदितिं नमोभिर्मृळीकाय वरुणं मित्रमग्निम् । अभिक्षदामर्यमणं सुशेवं त्रातॄन्देवान्सवितारं भगं च
I invoke you, O divine Aditi, with reverence, for mercy—Varuṇa, Mitra, Agni; I call Aryaman, most gracious, the protecting gods, Savitṛ, and Bhaga.
सुज्योतिषः सूर्य दक्षपितॄननागास्त्वे सुमहो वीहि देवान् । द्विजन्मानो य ऋतसापः सत्याः स्वर्वन्तो यजता अग्निजिह्वाः
With bright light, O Sun, lead our forefathers here, bring the great gods; those twice-born, upholders of truth, real, possessing heaven, worshipful, with tongues of fire.
उत द्यावापृथिवी क्षत्रमुरु बृहद्रोदसी शरणं सुषुम्ने । महस्करथो वरिवो यथा नोऽस्मे क्षयाय धिषणे अनेहः
And may Heaven and Earth, the wide, great, sheltering pair, grant us protection in their kindness; with their mighty chariot, as if making a path for us, may they grant us a secure home, free from harm.
आ नो रुद्रस्य सूनवो नमन्तामद्या हूतासो वसवोऽधृष्टाः । यदीमर्भे महति वा हितासो बाधे मरुतो अह्वाम देवान्
May the sons of Rudra, the Vasus, invincible, whom we have invoked today, bow to us; whether they are placed among the young or the great, in distress, we call the Maruts, the gods.
मिम्यक्ष येषु रोदसी नु देवी सिषक्ति पूषा अभ्यर्धयज्वा । श्रुत्वा हवं मरुतो यद्ध याथ भूमा रेजन्ते अध्वनि प्रविक्ते
On whom, O gods, the two worlds depend, there Pūṣan, the eager sacrificer, exerts himself; having heard the call, O Maruts, when you come, the vast spaces tremble on the opened path.
अभि त्यं वीरं गिर्वणसमर्चेन्द्रं ब्रह्मणा जरितर्नवेन । श्रवदिद्धवमुप च स्तवानो रासद्वाजाँ उप महो गृणानः
To that hero, Indra, beloved of song, let the singer offer new praise with the hymn; may he hear the invocation, and, being praised, grant us riches, as one who is magnified.
ओमानमापो मानुषीरमृक्तं धात तोकाय तनयाय शं योः । यूयं हि ष्ठा भिषजो मातृतमा विश्वस्य स्थातुर्जगतो जनित्रीः
O Waters, mothers of men, pure, grant us well-being for offspring and children; for you are the best physicians, mothers, creators of all that stands and moves, the origin of the world.
आ नो देवः सविता त्रायमाणो हिरण्यपाणिर्यजतो जगम्यात् । यो दत्रवाँ उषसो न प्रतीकं व्यूर्णुते दाशुषे वार्याणि
May the god Savitṛ, the protector, with golden hands, come here to the worshipper; who, generous, reveals the face of dawn, and bestows treasures upon the devotee.
उत त्वं सूनो सहसो नो अद्या देवाँ अस्मिन्नध्वरे ववृत्याः । स्यामहं ते सदमिद्रातौ तव स्यामग्नेऽवसा सुवीरः
And you, O son of strength, today, O god, may you be favorable to us in this sacrifice; may I always be your companion in battle, may I, O Agni, be strong with your help.
उत त्या मे हवमा जग्म्यातं नासत्या धीभिर्युवमङ्ग विप्रा । अत्रिं न महस्तमसोऽमुमुक्तं तूर्वतं नरा दुरितादभीके
And may you two, O Nāsatyas, come to my call, you wise ones, with your thoughts; as you released Atri from the great darkness, rescue us, O men, from distress, into safety.
ते नो रायो द्युमतो वाजवतो दातारो भूत नृवतः पुरुक्षोः । दशस्यन्तो दिव्याः पार्थिवासो गोजाता अप्या मृळता च देवाः
May those givers of wealth, shining, full of vigor, bestow upon us riches, renowned among men; may the divine and earthly, born of the cow, favor us, and be gracious, O gods.
ते नो रुद्रः सरस्वती सजोषा मीळ्हुष्मन्तो विष्णुर्मृळन्तु वायुः । ऋभुक्षा वाजो दैव्यो विधाता पर्जन्यावाता पिप्यतामिषं नः
May Rudra, Sarasvatī, united, be gracious to us, may Viṣṇu, Vāyu, and the bountiful ones show us mercy; may Ṛbhukṣa, the divine strength, the arranger, Parjanya and Vāta, fill us with nourishment.
उत स्य देवः सविता भगो नोऽपां नपादवतु दानु पप्रिः । त्वष्टा देवेभिर्जनिभिः सजोषा द्यौर्देवेभिः पृथिवी समुद्रैः
And may the god Savitṛ, Bhaga, and the son of the waters, Dānu, protect us; may Tvaṣṭṛ, with the divine generations, united with the gods, and Heaven with the gods, Earth with the oceans, preserve us.
उत नोऽहिर्बुध्न्यः शृणोत्वज एकपात्पृथिवी समुद्रः । विश्वे देवा ऋतावृधो हुवाना स्तुता मन्त्राः कविशस्ता अवन्तु
And may Ahibudhnya hear us, the serpent of the deep, the one-footed, Earth, and Ocean; may all the gods, upholders of truth, whom we invoke, the praised hymns, the wise ones, protect us.
एवा नपातो मम तस्य धीभिर्भरद्वाजा अभ्यर्चन्त्यर्कैः । ग्ना हुतासो वसवोऽधृष्टा विश्वे स्तुतासो भूता यजत्राः
Thus, the descendants of Bharadvāja honor him with their thoughts and with hymns; the divine Hotars, the Vasus, the invincible ones, all praised, have become worthy of worship.
उदु त्यच्चक्षुर्महि मित्रयोराँ एति प्रियं वरुणयोरदब्धम् । ऋतस्य शुचि दर्शतमनीकं रुक्मो न दिव उदिता व्यद्यौत्
That great, unfailing eye of Mitra and Varuṇa rises up, beloved of Varuṇa, pure, shining, most beautiful in form, like a golden ornament, it has blazed forth from the sky.
वेद यस्त्रीणि विदथान्येषां देवानां जन्म सनुतरा च विप्रः । ऋजु मर्तेषु वृजिना च पश्यन्नभि चष्टे सूरो अर्य एवान्
He who knows the three assemblies of these gods, the wise one, who is born again and again, sees straight among mortals and also sees the crooked; the sun, like Aryaman, surveys all.
स्तुष उ वो मह ऋतस्य गोपानदितिं मित्रं वरुणं सुजातान् । अर्यमणं भगमदब्धधीतीनच्छा वोचे सधन्यः पावकान्
I praise you, great guardians of truth: Aditi, Mitra, Varuṇa, nobly born; Aryaman, Bhaga, whose thoughts are unwavering—let me speak forth to you, radiant ones, who bring prosperity.
रिशादसः सत्पतीँरदब्धान्महो राज्ञः सुवसनस्य दातॄन् । यूनः सुक्षत्रान्क्षयतो दिवो नॄनादित्यान्याम्यदितिं दुवोयु
The destroyers of falsehood, true lords, unwavering, the generous donors of the great king, youthful, possessing strong rule, rulers of the sky—O Ādityas, I approach Aditi with reverence.
द्यौष्पितः पृथिवि मातरध्रुगग्ने भ्रातर्वसवो मृळता नः । विश्व आदित्या अदिते सजोषा अस्मभ्यं शर्म बहुलं वि यन्त
Heaven, our father; Earth, our mother, steadfast; Agni, our brother, O Vasus, be gracious to us. All Ādityas, together with Aditi, grant us wide protection.
मा नो वृकाय वृक्ये समस्मा अघायते रीरधता यजत्राः । यूयं हि ष्ठा रथ्यो नस्तनूनां यूयं दक्षस्य वचसो बभूव
Do not let the wolf or she-wolf harm us, nor let the worshipful ones bring us to misfortune. For you are our charioteers, guardians of our bodies; you are the upholders of wise speech.
मा व एनो अन्यकृतं भुजेम मा तत्कर्म वसवो यच्चयध्वे । विश्वस्य हि क्षयथ विश्वदेवाः स्वयं रिपुस्तन्वं रीरिषीष्ट
Let us not suffer for another's offense, nor for any deed you Vasus may have done. For you, all-gods, rule over all; let the enemy not harm our own person.
नम इदुग्रं नम आ विवासे नमो दाधार पृथिवीमुत द्याम् । नमो देवेभ्यो नम ईश एषां कृतं चिदेनो नमसा विवासे
Homage to the mighty, homage I proclaim; homage to him who upholds earth and sky. Homage to the gods, homage to their lord; even for a committed offense, I seek forgiveness with homage.
ऋतस्य वो रथ्यः पूतदक्षानृतस्य पस्त्यसदो अदब्धान् । ताँ आ नमोभिरुरुचक्षसो नॄन्विश्वान्व आ नमे महो यजत्राः
To you, charioteers of truth, pure in wisdom, unwavering, who dwell in the home of truth, I bow with reverence; to all the far-seeing, great, worshipful men, I bow with homage.
