Sukta 55

एहि वां विमुचो नपादाघृणे सं सचावहै। रथीरृतस्य नो भव॥

ehi vāṁ vimuco napādāghṛṇe saṁ sacāvahai | rathīrṛtasya no bhava ||

SON of Deliverance, come, bright God! Let us twain go together: be our charioteer of sacrifice.

रथीतमं कपर्दिनमीशानं राधसो महः। रायः सखायमीमहे॥

rathītamaṁ kapardinamīśānaṁ rādhaso mahaḥ | rāyaḥ sakhāyamīmahe ||

We pray for wealth to thee most skilled of charioteers, with braided hair, Lord of great riches, and our Friend.

रायो धारास्याघृणे वसो राशिरजाश्व। धीवतोधीवतः सखा॥

rāyo dhārāsyāghṛṇe vaso rāśirajāśva | dhīvatodhīvataḥ sakhā ||

Bright God whose steeds are goats, thou art a stream of wealth, a treasure-heap, The Friend of every pious man.

पूषणं न्वजाश्वमुप स्तोषाम वाजिनम्। स्वसुर्यो जार उच्यते॥

pūṣaṇaṁ nvajāśvamupa stoṣāma vājinam | svasuryo jāra ucyate ||

Pusan, who driveth goats for steeds, the strong and Mighty, who is called His Sister's lover, will we laud.

मातुर्दिधिषुमब्रवं स्वसुर्जारः शृणोतु नः। भ्रातेन्द्रस्य सखा मम॥

māturdidhiṣumabravaṁ svasurjāraḥ śṛṇotu naḥ | bhrātendrasya sakhā mama ||

His Mother's suitor I address. May he who loves his Sister hear, Brother of Indra, and my Friend.

आजासः पूषणं रथे निशृम्भास्ते जनश्रियम्। देवं वहन्तु बिभ्रतः॥

ājāsaḥ pūṣaṇaṁ rathe niśṛmbhāste janaśriyam | devaṁ vahantu bibhrataḥ ||

May the sure-footed goats come nigh, conveying Pusan on his car, The God who visiteth mankind.
