Sukta 46

हयो न विद्वाँ अयुजि स्वयं धुरि तां वहामि प्रतरणीमवस्युवम्। नास्या वश्मि विमुचं नावृतं पुनर्विद्वान्पथः पुरएत ऋजु नेषति॥

hayo na vidvā ayuji svayaṁ dhuri tāṁ vahāmi prataraṇīmavasyuvam | nāsyā vaśmi vimucaṁ nāvṛtaṁ punarvidvānpathaḥ puraeta ṛju neṣati ||

WELL knowing I have bound me, horselike, to the pole: I carry that which bears as on and gives us help. I seek for no release, no turning back therefrom. May he who knows the way, the Leader, guide me straight.

अग्न इन्द्र वरुण मित्र देवाः शर्धः प्र यन्त मारुतोत विष्णो। उभा नासत्या रुद्रो अध ग्नाः पूषा भगः सरस्वती जुषन्त॥

agna indra varuṇa mitra devāḥ śardhaḥ pra yanta mārutota viṣṇo | ubhā nāsatyā rudro adha gnāḥ pūṣā bhagaḥ sarasvatī juṣanta ||

O Agni, Indra, Varuna, and Mitra, give, O ye Gods, and Marut host, and Visnu. May both Nasatyas, Rudra, heavenly Matrons, Pusan, Sarasvati, Bhaga, accept us.

इन्द्राग्नी मित्रावरुणादितिं स्वः पृथिवीं द्यां मरुतः पर्वताँ अपः। हुवे विष्णुं पूषणं ब्रह्मणस्पतिं भगं नु शंसं सवितारमूतये॥

indrāgnī mitrāvaruṇāditiṁ svaḥ pṛthivīṁ dyāṁ marutaḥ parvatā apaḥ | huve viṣṇuṁ pūṣaṇaṁ brahmaṇaspatiṁ bhagaṁ nu śaṁsaṁ savitāramūtaye ||

Indra and Agni, Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, the Waters, Mountains, Maruts, Sky, and Earth and Heaven, Visnu I call, Pusan, and Brahmanaspati, and Bhaga, Samsa, Savitar that they may help.

उत नो विष्णुरुत वातो अस्रिधो द्रविणोदा उत सोमो मयस्करत्। उत ऋभव उत राये नो अश्विनोत त्वष्टोत विभ्वानु मंसते॥

uta no viṣṇuruta vāto asridho draviṇodā uta somo mayaskarat | uta ṛbhava uta rāye no aśvinota tvaṣṭota vibhvānu maṁsate ||

May Visnu also and Vata who injures none, and Soma granter of possessions give us joy; And may the Rbhus and the Asvins, Tvastar and Vibhvan remember us so that we may have wealth.

उत त्यन्नो मारुतं शर्ध आ गमद्दिविक्षयं यजतं बर्हिरासदे। बृहस्पतिः शर्म पूषोत नो यमद्वरूथ्यं वरुणो मित्रो अर्यमा॥

uta tyanno mārutaṁ śardha ā gamaddivikṣayaṁ yajataṁ barhirāsade | bṛhaspatiḥ śarma pūṣota no yamadvarūthyaṁ varuṇo mitro aryamā ||

So may the band of Maruts dwelling in the sky, the holy, come to us to sit on sacred grass; Brhaspati and Pusan grant us sure defence, Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman guard and shelter us.

उत त्ये नः पर्वतासः सुशस्तयः सुदीतयो नद्यस्त्रामणे भुवन्। भगो विभक्ता शवसावसा गमदुरुव्यचा अदितिः श्रोतु मे हवम्॥

uta tye naḥ parvatāsaḥ suśastayaḥ sudītayo nadyastrāmaṇe bhuvan | bhago vibhaktā śavasāvasā gamaduruvyacā aditiḥ śrotu me havam ||

And may the Mountains famed in noble eulogies, and the fair-gleaming Rivers keep us safe from harm. May Bhaga the Dispenser come with power and grace, and far-pervading Aditi listen to my call.

देवानां पत्नीरुशतीरवन्तु नः प्रावन्तु नस्तुजये वाजसातये। याः पार्थिवासो या अपामपि व्रते ता नो देवीः सुहवाः शर्म यच्छत॥

devānāṁ patnīruśatīravantu naḥ prāvantu nastujaye vājasātaye | yāḥ pārthivāso yā apāmapi vrate tā no devīḥ suhavāḥ śarma yacchata ||

May the Gods' Spouses aid us of their own freewill, aid us to offspring and the winning of the spoil. Grant us protection, O ye gracious Goddesses, ye who are on the earth or in the waters' realm.

उत ग्ना व्यन्तु देवपत्नीरिन्द्राण्यग्नाय्यश्विनी राट्। आ रोदसी वरुणानी शृणोतु व्यन्तु देवीर्य ऋतुर्जनीनाम्॥

uta gnā vyantu devapatnīrindrāṇyagnāyyaśvinī rāṭ | ā rodasī varuṇānī śṛṇotu vyantu devīrya ṛturjanīnām ||

May the Dames, wives of Gods, enjoy our presents, Rat, Asvini, Agnayi, and Indrani. May Rodasi and Varunani hear us, and Goddesses come at the Matrons' season.
