Sukta 50

विश्वो देवस्य नेतुर्मर्तो वुरीत सख्यम्। विश्वो राय इषुध्यति द्युम्नं वृणीत पुष्यसे॥

viśvo devasya neturmarto vurīta sakhyam | viśvo rāya iṣudhyati dyumnaṁ vṛṇīta puṣyase ||

LET every mortal man elect the friendship of the guiding God. Each one solicits him for wealth and seeks renown to prosper him.

ते ते देव नेतर्ये चेमाँ अनुशसे। ते राया ते ह्यापृचे सचेमहि सचथ्यैः॥

te te deva netarye cemā anuśase | te rāyā te hyāpṛce sacemahi sacathyaiḥ ||

These, leading God, are thine, and these here ready to speak after us. As such may we attain to wealth and wait with services on thee.

अतो न आ नॄनतिथीनतः पत्नीर्दशस्यत। आरे विश्वं पथेष्ठां द्विषो युयोतु यूयुविः॥

ato na ā nṝnatithīnataḥ patnīrdaśasyata | āre viśvaṁ patheṣṭhāṁ dviṣo yuyotu yūyuviḥ ||

So further honour as our guests the Hero Gods and then the Dames. May he remove and keep afar our foes and all who block our path.

यत्र वह्निरभिहितो दुद्रवद्द्रोण्यः पशुः। नृमणा वीरपस्त्योऽर्णा धीरेव सनिता॥

yatra vahnirabhihito dudravaddroṇyaḥ paśuḥ | nṛmaṇā vīrapastyo'rṇā dhīreva sanitā ||

Where fire is set, and swiftly runs the victim dwelling in the trough, He wins, with heroes in his home, friendly to man, like constant streams.

एष ते देव नेता रथस्पतिः शं रयिः। शं राये शं स्वस्तय इषःस्तुतो मनामहे देवस्तुतो मनामहे॥

eṣa te deva netā rathaspatiḥ śaṁ rayiḥ | śaṁ rāye śaṁ svastaya iṣaḥstuto manāmahe devastuto manāmahe ||

May these thy riches, Leader God! that rule the car, be blest to us, Yea, blest to us for wealth and weal. This will we ponder praising strength, this ponder as we praise the God.
