तमूर्मिमापो मधुमत्तमं वोऽपां नपादवत्वाशुहेमा । यस्मिन्निन्द्रो वसुभिर्मादयाते तमश्याम देवयन्तो वो अद्य
That stream of yours, waters, most sweet, swift-flowing, let us attain; in which Indra delights with the Vasus—may we, worshipping, reach it today.
शतपवित्राः स्वधया मदन्तीर्देवीर्देवानामपि यन्ति पाथः । ता इन्द्रस्य न मिनन्ति व्रतानि सिन्धुभ्यो हव्यं घृतवज्जुहोत
The divine waters, purified a hundred times, rejoice in their own nature, and go on their path; they do not violate Indra's laws—offer the oblation, rich in ghee, to the rivers.
याः सूर्यो रश्मिभिराततान याभ्य इन्द्रो अरदद्गातुमूर्मिम् । ते सिन्धवो वरिवो धातना नो यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः
Those which Sūrya has spread with his rays, by which Indra opened the stream's path; those rivers, grant us passage—may you always protect us with blessings.
ऋभुक्षणो वाजा मादयध्वमस्मे नरो मघवानः सुतस्य । आ वोऽर्वाचः क्रतवो न यातां विभ्वो रथं नर्यं वर्तयन्तु
Rejoice, O Ribhus, O givers of wealth, for us, O men, O generous ones, in the Soma; may your noble intentions come to us, may the skillful turn your splendid chariot.
ऋभुरृभुभिरभि वः स्याम विभ्वो विभुभिः शवसा शवांसि । वाजो अस्माँ अवतु वाजसाताविन्द्रेण युजा तरुषेम वृत्रम्
May we be with you, O Rbhu, together with the Rbhus; O Mighty One, with the mighty, with strength upon strength. May Vaja, the bestower of strength, protect us in the gaining of strength; with Indra as our ally, may we overcome the foe.
ते चिद्धि पूर्वीरभि सन्ति शासा विश्वाँ अर्य उपरताति वन्वन् । इन्द्रो विभ्वाँ ऋभुक्षा वाजो अर्यः शत्रोर्मिथत्या कृणवन्वि नृम्णम्
For even those ancient commands are still effective; all the Arya’s decrees remain firm. Indra, the mighty, the Rbhukṣa, Vaja, the noble, has shattered the enemy’s pride and established manly power.
नू देवासो वरिवः कर्तना नो भूत नो विश्वेऽवसे सजोषाः । समस्मे इषं वसवो ददीरन्यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः
Now, O gods, make a broad path for us; may all of you, united, be our helpers. Grant us wealth, O Vasus, and ever protect us with well-being, always guard us with blessings.
समुद्रज्येष्ठाः सलिलस्य मध्यात्पुनाना यन्त्यनिविशमानाः । इन्द्रो या वज्री वृषभो रराद ता आपो देवीरिह मामवन्तु
Born of the ocean, from the midst of the waters, the purifying ones come, never settling. Indra, the wielder of the thunderbolt, the bull, has sent them forth—may these divine waters here protect me.
या आपो दिव्या उत वा स्रवन्ति खनित्रिमा उत वा याः स्वयंजाः । समुद्रार्था याः शुचयः पावकास्ता आपो देवीरिह मामवन्तु
Whether they are heavenly waters or those that flow, those that are dug or those that arise of themselves, those that seek the ocean, pure and radiant—may these divine waters here protect me.
यासां राजा वरुणो याति मध्ये सत्यानृते अवपश्यञ्जनानाम् । मधुश्चुतः शुचयो याः पावकास्ता आपो देवीरिह मामवन्तु
Among whom Varuṇa is king, moving in their midst, discerning truth and falsehood among men; those pure, radiant ones that flow with sweetness—may these divine waters here protect me.
यासु राजा वरुणो यासु सोमो विश्वे देवा यासूर्जं मदन्ति । वैश्वानरो यास्वग्निः प्रविष्टस्ता आपो देवीरिह मामवन्तु
In whom Varuṇa is king, in whom Soma, in whom all the gods delight in strength; in whom Agni Vaiśvānara has entered—may these divine waters here protect me.
आ मां मित्रावरुणेह रक्षतं कुलाययद्विश्वयन्मा न आ गन् । अजकावं दुर्दृशीकं तिरो दधे मा मां पद्येन रपसा विदत्त्सरुः
Here, O Mitra and Varuṇa, protect me; let not the clan, the people, or anyone harm me. I have placed the difficult, the unseen, far away; let not the serpent seize me with harm through my foot.
यद्विजामन्परुषि वन्दनं भुवदष्ठीवन्तौ परि कुल्फौ च देहत् । अग्निष्टच्छोचन्नप बाधतामितो मा मां पद्येन रपसा विदत्त्सरुः
If there is a bone or a stone or a thorn, or if anything sharp is near my ankle, O Agni, shining one, drive it away from here; let not the serpent seize me with harm through my foot.
यच्छल्मलौ भवति यन्नदीषु यदोषधीभ्यः परि जायते विषम् । विश्वे देवा निरितस्तत्सुवन्तु मा मां पद्येन रपसा विदत्त्सरुः
Whatever is slippery, whatever is in the rivers, whatever poison arises from the plants—may all the gods and Niriti remove it; let not the serpent seize me with harm through my foot.
याः प्रवतो निवत उद्वत उदन्वतीरनुदकाश्च याः । ता अस्मभ्यं पयसा पिन्वमानाः शिवा देवीरशिपदा भवन्तु सर्वा नद्यो अशिमिदा भवन्तु
The flowing, the still, the rising, the deep, and the waterless rivers—may all these, swelling with their waters, be auspicious, divine, and harmless for us; may all the rivers be free from harm for us.
आदित्यानामवसा नूतनेन सक्षीमहि शर्मणा शंतमेन । अनागास्त्वे अदितित्वे तुरास इमं यज्ञं दधतु श्रोषमाणाः
By the new favor of the Ādityas, may we partake of their shelter, full of peace. In guiltlessness, in the freedom of Aditi, may the mighty ones, hearing, accept this offering.
आदित्यासो अदितिर्मादयन्तां मित्रो अर्यमा वरुणो रजिष्ठाः । अस्माकं सन्तु भुवनस्य गोपाः पिबन्तु सोममवसे नो अद्य
May the Ādityas, may Aditi gladden us—Mitra, Aryaman, Varuṇa, the most powerful. May they be our guardians of the world; let them drink the Soma today for our help.
आदित्या विश्वे मरुतश्च विश्वे देवाश्च विश्व ऋभवश्च विश्वे । इन्द्रो अग्निरश्विना तुष्टुवाना यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः
All the Ādityas, all the Maruts, all the gods, all the Rbhus, Indra, Agni, and the Aśvins—may you all, praised, always protect us with blessings.
आदित्यासो अदितयः स्याम पूर्देवत्रा वसवो मर्त्यत्रा । सनेम मित्रावरुणा सनन्तो भवेम द्यावापृथिवी भवन्तः
May we be under the protection of the Ādityas, of Aditi, O Vasus, both in the world of the gods and among mortals. May we be victorious, O Mitra and Varuṇa; may we prosper, O Heaven and Earth, as you prosper.
मित्रस्तन्नो वरुणो मामहन्त शर्म तोकाय तनयाय गोपाः । मा वो भुजेमान्यजातमेनो मा तत्कर्म वसवो यच्चयध्वे
May Mitra, may Varuṇa not harm us; may the guardians grant shelter for our offspring and descendants. May we not suffer for any ancestral sin; may we not commit, O Vasus, what you dislike.
तुरण्यवोऽङ्गिरसो नक्षन्त रत्नं देवस्य सवितुरियानाः । पिता च तन्नो महान्यजत्रो विश्वे देवाः समनसो जुषन्त
The swift-moving Angirases have found the treasure, coming to the gift of the god Savitar. May our great father, the mighty, the worshipful, and all the gods together accept this.
प्र द्यावा यज्ञैः पृथिवी नमोभिः सबाध ईळे बृहती यजत्रे । ते चिद्धि पूर्वे कवयो गृणन्तः पुरो मही दधिरे देवपुत्रे
I praise Heaven and Earth with sacrifices, with reverence, with songs, O mighty, worthy of worship. Even the ancient sages, praising, have placed these two great divine children in the forefront.
प्र पूर्वजे पितरा नव्यसीभिर्गीर्भिः कृणुध्वं सदने ऋतस्य । आ नो द्यावापृथिवी दैव्येन जनेन यातं महि वां वरूथम्
With ever-new hymns, offer praise to the ancient Father and Mother at the seat of truth; O Heaven and Earth, come to us with your divine assembly, your great protection.
उतो हि वां रत्नधेयानि सन्ति पुरूणि द्यावापृथिवी सुदासे । अस्मे धत्तं यदसदस्कृधोयु यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः
For you, Heaven and Earth, possess many treasures for Sudas; grant us what is good and lasting. May you always protect us with well-being.
वास्तोष्पते प्रति जानीह्यस्मान्स्वावेशो अनमीवो भवा नः । यत्त्वेमहे प्रति तन्नो जुषस्व शं नो भव द्विपदे शं चतुष्पदे
O Lord of the House, recognize us; be gracious and free from harm for us. Accept what we offer you; bring us welfare for bipeds and quadrupeds alike.
वास्तोष्पते प्रतरणो न एधि गयस्फानो गोभिरश्वेभिरिन्दो । अजरासस्ते सख्ये स्याम पितेव पुत्रान्प्रति नो जुषस्व
O Lord of the House, be as a crossing for us, expanding our life with cattle and horses, O Indu. May we be unfailing in your friendship; accept us as a father does his sons.
वास्तोष्पते शग्मया संसदा ते सक्षीमहि रण्वया गातुमत्या । पाहि क्षेम उत योगे वरं नो यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः
O Lord of the House, may we attain your assembly, full of happiness and song. Guard us in safety and in need; may you always protect us with well-being.

O Lord of the House, destroyer of disease, you have entered all forms; be our friend, bring us good fortune.
यदर्जुन सारमेय दतः पिशङ्ग यच्छसे । वीव भ्राजन्त ऋष्टय उप स्रक्वेषु बप्सतो नि षु स्वप
Whatever you give, Arjuna Sārameya, and whatever you, Piśaṅga, grant—let the shining spears rest among the garlands, let them sleep.
स्तेनं राय सारमेय तस्करं वा पुनःसर । स्तोतॄनिन्द्रस्य रायसि किमस्मान्दुच्छुनायसे नि षु स्वप
Drive away the thief of wealth, Sārameya, or the robber; you guard the worshippers of Indra’s wealth. Why do you bark at us? Let them sleep.
