आ रिख किकिरा कृणु पणीनां हृदया कवे । अथेमस्मभ्यं रन्धय
Go forth, stir up, shake the hearts of the misers, O wise one; then make them yield to us.
यां पूषन्ब्रह्मचोदनीमारां बिभर्ष्याघृणे । तया समस्य हृदयमा रिख किकिरा कृणु
O radiant Pūṣan, the goad of discipline which you bear, with that, pierce the heart of the miser, stir up, shake him.
या ते अष्ट्रा गोपशाघृणे पशुसाधनी । तस्यास्ते सुम्नमीमहे
O radiant one, your goad, the cattle-driving staff, which brings wealth of cattle—of that we seek your favor.
उत नो गोषणिं धियमश्वसां वाजसामुत । नृवत्कृणुहि वीतये
Grant us, too, wisdom in seeking cattle, and strength in horses and wealth; make us prosperous with men.
सं पूषन्विदुषा नय यो अञ्जसानुशासति । य एवेदमिति ब्रवत्
Lead us together, Pūṣan, with one who knows, who instructs rightly, who says, 'This is it.'
समु पूष्णा गमेमहि यो गृहाँ अभिशासति । इम एवेति च ब्रवत्
May we go together with Pūṣan to the house of him who commands, who says, 'This indeed is it.'
पूष्णश्चक्रं न रिष्यति न कोशोऽव पद्यते । नो अस्य व्यथते पविः
The wheel of Pūṣan does not break, nor does his axle fall away; his goad is never worn out.
यो अस्मै हविषाविधन्न तं पूषापि मृष्यते । प्रथमो विन्दते वसु
He who offers to him with oblation, Pūṣan is pleased with him; he is the first to find wealth.
पूषा गा अन्वेतु नः पूषा रक्षत्वर्वतः । पूषा वाजं सनोतु नः
May Pūṣan follow our cattle, may Pūṣan protect our paths, may Pūṣan grant us strength.
पूषन्ननु प्र गा इहि यजमानस्य सुन्वतः । अस्माकं स्तुवतामुत
O Pūṣan, come after our cattle, for the worshipper who presses the Soma; and for us who praise you as well.
माकिर्नेशन्माकीं रिषन्माकीं सं शारि केवटे । अथारिष्टाभिरा गहि
Let no one go astray, let no one be harmed, let no one be left behind on the journey; then come to us with safety.
शृण्वन्तं पूषणं वयमिर्यमनष्टवेदसम् । ईशानं राय ईमहे
We seek Pūṣan, who hears, who knows the way, who is lord of wealth.
पूषन्तव व्रते वयं न रिष्येम कदा चन । स्तोतारस्त इह स्मसि
In your rule, Pūṣan, may we never go astray at any time; we are your praisers here.
परि पूषा परस्ताद्धस्तं दधातु दक्षिणम् । पुनर्नो नष्टमाजतु
Let Pūṣan place his right hand over us from afar; may what was lost return to us again.
एहि वां विमुचो नपादाघृणे सं सचावहै । रथीरृतस्य नो भव
Come, O sons of Vimuco, O Napāt Āghṛṇi, let us unite with you; be the charioteer of truth for us.
रथीतमं कपर्दिनमीशानं राधसो महः । रायः सखायमीमहे
We seek the most skilled charioteer, the matted-haired lord of great wealth, as a friend for riches.
रायो धारास्याघृणे वसो राशिरजाश्व । धीवतोधीवतः सखा
O Āghṛṇi, stream of wealth, O generous one, heap of riches, bring us wealth, friend of the wise, friend of the wise.
पूषणं न्वजाश्वमुप स्तोषाम वाजिनम् । स्वसुर्यो जार उच्यते
Let us praise Pūṣan, the provider of new horses, the vigorous one; the sun is called the lover.
मातुर्दिधिषुमब्रवं स्वसुर्जारः शृणोतु नः । भ्रातेन्द्रस्य सखा मम
I spoke to the mother seeking, let the lover, the sun, hear us; Indra's brother is my friend.
आजासः पूषणं रथे निशृम्भास्ते जनश्रियम् । देवं वहन्तु बिभ्रतः
The drivers place Pūṣan in the chariot, those who bear the glory of the people; let them carry the god.
य एनमादिदेशति करम्भादिति पूषणम् । न तेन देव आदिशे
Whoever directs Pūṣan as 'karambha', I do not acknowledge that god by such direction.
उत घा स रथीतमः सख्या सत्पतिर्युजा । इन्द्रो वृत्राणि जिघ्नते
Yet he is the most skilled charioteer, a true companion, a good lord; Indra slays the foes with him.
उतादः परुषे गवि सूरश्चक्रं हिरण्ययम् । न्यैरयद्रथीतमः
And the sun placed the golden wheel on the spotted cow; the most skilled charioteer set it down.
यदद्य त्वा पुरुष्टुत ब्रवाम दस्र मन्तुमः । तत्सु नो मन्म साधय
Whatever we speak to you today, O much-praised, wondrous one, O wise, accomplish that thought for us.
इमं च नो गवेषणं सातये सीषधो गणम् । आरात्पूषन्नसि श्रुतः
Grant us this search for the cow, this group for attainment; Pūṣan, you are renowned from afar.
आ ते स्वस्तिमीमह आरेअघामुपावसुम् । अद्या च सर्वतातये श्वश्च सर्वतातये
We seek your blessing, we approach you from afar for wealth; today and for all tomorrows, and tomorrow for all tomorrows.
इन्द्रा नु पूषणा वयं सख्याय स्वस्तये । हुवेम वाजसातये
We call upon Indra and Pūṣan for friendship and well-being, for the gaining of strength.
सोममन्य उपासदत्पातवे चम्वोः सुतम् । करम्भमन्य इच्छति
One desires Soma, the pressed juice of the camvas, for drinking; another desires karambha.
अजा अन्यस्य वह्नयो हरी अन्यस्य सम्भृता । ताभ्यां वृत्राणि जिघ्नते
Goats are the fires of one, horses are gathered for another; with these two, he slays the foes.
यदिन्द्रो अनयद्रितो महीरपो वृषन्तमः । तत्र पूषाभवत्सचा
When Indra led forth the mighty, most vigorous waters, there Pūṣan was his companion.
