अभि ये मिथो वनुषः सपन्ते रातिं दिवो रातिषाचः पृथिव्याः । अहिर्बुध्न्य उत नः शृणोतु वरूत्र्येकधेनुभिर्नि पातु
Those among men who contend with one another for gifts—may the givers of heaven and earth grant them; may Ahirbudhnya also hear us, and may Varūtrī protect us with her single cow.
अनु तन्नो जास्पतिर्मंसीष्ट रत्नं देवस्य सवितुरियानः । भगमुग्रोऽवसे जोहवीति भगमनुग्रो अध याति रत्नम्
May the lord of the household consider us, as he brings the precious treasure of the divine Savitar; the mighty Bhaga is invoked for help, and the gracious Bhaga comes with the treasure.
शं नो भवन्तु वाजिनो हवेषु देवताता मितद्रवः स्वर्काः । जम्भयन्तोऽहिं वृकं रक्षांसि सनेम्यस्मद्युयवन्नमीवाः
May the swift ones, devoted to the gods, bring us well-being in our invocations; may they, shining with their own light, drive away the serpent, the wolf, and the demons, and keep all misfortune far from us.
वाजेवाजेऽवत वाजिनो नो धनेषु विप्रा अमृता ऋतज्ञाः । अस्य मध्वः पिबत मादयध्वं तृप्ता यात पथिभिर्देवयानैः
In every contest, may the swift ones protect us; in wealth, may the immortal sages, knowers of truth, guard us. Drink of this honey, rejoice, and, satisfied, proceed on the paths of the gods.
ऊर्ध्वो अग्निः सुमतिं वस्वो अश्रेत्प्रतीची जूर्णिर्देवतातिमेति । भेजाते अद्री रथ्येव पन्थामृतं होता न इषितो यजाति
Agni, upright, has reached the good will of the wealthy; the flame, turned toward us, advances to the divine assembly. The stones have split the path for the chariot, and the immortal Hotar, impelled, offers the sacrifice.
प्र वावृजे सुप्रया बर्हिरेषामा विश्पतीव बीरिट इयाते । विशामक्तोरुषसः पूर्वहूतौ वायुः पूषा स्वस्तये नियुत्वान्
The well-yoked one has gone forth to their sacred grass; like a lord of the people, he moves among them. For the good of the people, at the first summons of the dawns, Vāyu and Pūṣan, with their teams, come for our welfare.
ज्मया अत्र वसवो रन्त देवा उरावन्तरिक्षे मर्जयन्त शुभ्राः । अर्वाक्पथ उरुज्रयः कृणुध्वं श्रोता दूतस्य जग्मुषो नो अस्य
Here, with their offspring, the radiant gods rejoice; in the wide midspace, the shining ones purify themselves. Make a broad path for us, you who have wide dwellings; listen to the messenger who has come to you.
ते हि यज्ञेषु यज्ञियास ऊमाः सधस्थं विश्वे अभि सन्ति देवाः । ताँ अध्वर उशतो यक्ष्यग्ने श्रुष्टी भगं नासत्या पुरंधिम्
For in the sacrifices, these are the ones worthy of sacrifice; all the gods are present at the seat. To them, O Agni, offer the shining oblation at the ritual—Bhaga, the Aśvins, and the bountiful one.
आग्ने गिरो दिव आ पृथिव्या मित्रं वह वरुणमिन्द्रमग्निम् । आर्यमणमदितिं विष्णुमेषां सरस्वती मरुतो मादयन्ताम्
Agni, carry our songs from heaven and earth—bring Mitra, Varuṇa, Indra, and Agni; bring Aryaman, Aditi, Viṣṇu, Sarasvatī, and may the Maruts rejoice in these offerings.
ररे हव्यं मतिभिर्यज्ञियानां नक्षत्कामं मर्त्यानामसिन्वन् । धाता रयिमविदस्यं सदासां सक्षीमहि युज्येभिर्नु देवैः
He has brought the offering with the thoughts of those worthy of sacrifice, fulfilling the desire of mortals. May the Giver grant us wealth that cannot be lost, and may we share in it with the gods who are to be yoked.
नू रोदसी अभिष्टुते वसिष्ठैरृतावानो वरुणो मित्रो अग्निः । यच्छन्तु चन्द्रा उपमं नो अर्कं यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः
Now, heaven and earth, praised by the Vasiṣṭhas, may Varuṇa, Mitra, and Agni, upholders of truth, grant us a shining, supreme hymn. May you always protect us with well-being.
ओ श्रुष्टिर्विदथ्या समेतु प्रति स्तोमं दधीमहि तुराणाम् । यदद्य देवः सविता सुवाति स्यामास्य रत्निनो विभागे
O hearing, may understanding come together at the sacred rite; let us set forth the praise of the mighty ones. Whatever the god Savitar bestows today, may we share in his portion of treasures.
मित्रस्तन्नो वरुणो रोदसी च द्युभक्तमिन्द्रो अर्यमा ददातु । दिदेष्टु देव्यदिती रेक्णो वायुश्च यन्नियुवैते भगश्च
May Mitra, Varuṇa, and the two worlds grant us a share of heaven; may Indra and Aryaman give; may the goddess Aditi bestow favor, and may Vāyu and Bhaga grant what they have prepared.
सेदुग्रो अस्तु मरुतः स शुष्मी यं मर्त्यं पृषदश्वा अवाथ । उतेमग्निः सरस्वती जुनन्ति न तस्य रायः पर्येतास्ति
May that mighty one, the Maruts, be strong for us, he who helps the mortal whom you protect, O fleet-footed ones. Even Agni and Sarasvatī aid him; no one surpasses him in wealth.
अयं हि नेता वरुण ऋतस्य मित्रो राजानो अर्यमापो धुः । सुहवा देव्यदितिरनर्वा ते नो अंहो अति पर्षन्नरिष्टान्
For this one is the leader, O Varuṇa, of truth—Mitra, Aryaman, and the kings uphold it. The goddess Aditi, easy to invoke and unerring, may she lead us safely past all distress.
अस्य देवस्य मीळ्हुषो वया विष्णोरेषस्य प्रभृथे हविर्भिः । विदे हि रुद्रो रुद्रियं महित्वं यासिष्टं वर्तिरश्विनाविरावत्
Of this generous god, of Viṣṇu, the mighty, may we partake with offerings at the distribution. May Rudra reveal his Rudra-like greatness, and may the two Aśvins guide us on a prosperous path.
मात्र पूषन्नाघृण इरस्यो वरूत्री यद्रातिषाचश्च रासन् । मयोभुवो नो अर्वन्तो नि पान्तु वृष्टिं परिज्मा वातो ददातु
O Pūṣan, O radiant one, may the mother, the protecting goddess, and the givers of gifts grant us; may the kindly horses guard us, may the encircling wind bring us rain.
नू रोदसी अभिष्टुते वसिष्ठैरृतावानो वरुणो मित्रो अग्निः । यच्छन्तु चन्द्रा उपमं नो अर्कं यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः
Now, heaven and earth, praised by the Vasiṣṭhas, may Varuṇa, Mitra, and Agni, upholders of truth, grant us a shining, supreme hymn. May you always protect us with well-being.
प्रातरग्निं प्रातरिन्द्रं हवामहे प्रातर्मित्रावरुणा प्रातरश्विना । प्रातर्भगं पूषणं ब्रह्मणस्पतिं प्रातः सोममुत रुद्रं हुवेम
At dawn we call Agni, at dawn we call Indra; at dawn, Mitra and Varuna, at dawn, the Ashvins. At dawn we invoke Bhaga, Pushan, and Brahmanaspati; at dawn we would call Soma and Rudra as well.
प्रातर्जितं भगमुग्रं हुवेम वयं पुत्रमदितेर्यो विधर्ता । आध्रश्चिद्यं मन्यमानस्तुरश्चिद्राजा चिद्यं भगं भक्षीत्याह
At dawn we invoke Bhaga, the mighty, the victorious, the son of Aditi, who is the distributor. Even the one who thinks himself deprived, the swift, even the king, says, 'May Bhaga grant me a share.'
भग प्रणेतर्भग सत्यराधो भगेमां धियमुदवा ददन्नः । भग प्र णो जनय गोभिरश्वैर्भग प्र नृभिर्नृवन्तः स्याम
O Bhaga, guide us; O Bhaga, true bestower, raise up this thought of ours and grant us gifts. O Bhaga, generate for us cattle and horses; O Bhaga, may we be men among men.
उतेदानीं भगवन्तः स्यामोत प्रपित्व उत मध्ये अह्नाम् । उतोदिता मघवन्सूर्यस्य वयं देवानां सुमतौ स्याम
May we now be endowed with Bhaga; both at the beginning and in the midst of the days. When the sun rises, O generous one, may we be in the favor of the gods.
भग एव भगवाँ अस्तु देवास्तेन वयं भगवन्तः स्याम । तं त्वा भग सर्व इज्जोहवीति स नो भग पुरएता भवेह
May Bhaga alone be the bestower, may the gods make us endowed with Bhaga. To you, O Bhaga, all call; be our leader, O Bhaga, here.
समध्वरायोषसो नमन्त दधिक्रावेव शुचये पदाय । अर्वाचीनं वसुविदं भगं नो रथमिवाश्वा वाजिन आ वहन्तु
The dawns, bearers of sacrifice, bow down, like Dadhikravan for his shining path. May they bring to us Bhaga, the giver of wealth, near, as swift horses draw a chariot.
अश्वावतीर्गोमतीर्न उषासो वीरवतीः सदमुच्छन्तु भद्राः । घृतं दुहाना विश्वतः प्रपीता यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः
May the dawns, rich in horses, rich in cattle, rich in heroes, always rise auspicious for us. Milking ghee from every side, may you always protect us with well-being.
प्र ब्रह्माणो अङ्गिरसो नक्षन्त प्र क्रन्दनुर्नभन्यस्य वेतु । प्र धेनव उदप्रुतो नवन्त युज्यातामद्री अध्वरस्य पेशः
Let the Angirases, the singers, set forth their chants; let the resounding one reach the sky. Let the cows, with full udders, stream forth; let the pressing stones be yoked for the beauty of the sacrifice.
सुगस्ते अग्ने सनवित्तो अध्वा युक्ष्वा सुते हरितो रोहितश्च । ये वा सद्मन्नरुषा वीरवाहो हुवे देवानां जनिमानि सत्तः
O Agni, of good guidance, be our leader on the path; yoke the tawny and the red steeds at the pressing. Those who are in the seat, the ruddy, the bearers of heroes, I call the births of the gods, seated.
समु वो यज्ञं महयन्नमोभिः प्र होता मन्द्रो रिरिच उपाके । यजस्व सु पुर्वणीक देवाना यज्ञियामरमतिं ववृत्याः
Together, with praises, magnify the sacrifice for you; let the gracious Hotar shine forth at the approach. Worship, O you of many forms, the worthy gods; gain the favor of the immortal mind.
यदा वीरस्य रेवतो दुरोणे स्योनशीरतिथिराचिकेतत् । सुप्रीतो अग्निः सुधितो दम आ स विशे दाति वार्यमियत्यै
When the wealthy hero, the guest, is welcomed in the house with kindness, Agni, well-pleased, well-kindled in the home, bestows desirable wealth upon the family.
इमं नो अग्ने अध्वरं जुषस्व मरुत्स्विन्द्रे यशसं कृधी नः । आ नक्ता बर्हिः सदतामुषासोशन्ता मित्रावरुणा यजेह
Accept this sacrifice of ours, O Agni; with the Maruts and Indra, make us renowned. May Night and Dawn sit on the sacred grass; may Mitra and Varuna, invited, come here.
