Sukta 40

ओ श्रुष्टिर्विदथ्या समेतु प्रति स्तोमं दधीमहि तुराणाम्। यदद्य देवः सविता सुवाति स्यामास्य रत्निनो विभागे॥

o śruṣṭirvidathyā sametu prati stomaṁ dadhīmahi turāṇām | yadadya devaḥ savitā suvāti syāmāsya ratnino vibhāge ||

BE gathered all the audience of the synod: let us begin their praise whose course is rapid. Whate'er God Savitar this day produces, may we be where the Wealthy One distributes.

मित्रस्तन्नो वरुणो रोदसी च द्युभक्तमिन्द्रो अर्यमा ददातु। दिदेष्टु देव्यदिती रेक्णो वायुश्च यन्नियुवैते भगश्च॥

mitrastanno varuṇo rodasī ca dyubhaktamindro aryamā dadātu | dideṣṭu devyaditī rekṇo vāyuśca yanniyuvaite bhagaśca ||

This, dealt from heaven ' may both the Worlds vouchsafe us, and Varuna, Indra, Aryaman, and Mitra. May Goddess Aditi assign us riches, Vayu and Bhaga make them ours for ever.

सेदुग्रो अस्तु मरुतः स शुष्मी यं मर्त्यं पृषदश्वा अवाथ। उतेमग्निः सरस्वती जुनन्ति न तस्य रायः पर्येतास्ति॥

sedugro astu marutaḥ sa śuṣmī yaṁ martyaṁ pṛṣadaśvā avātha | utemagniḥ sarasvatī junanti na tasya rāyaḥ paryetāsti ||

Strong be the man and full of power, O Maruts, whom ye, borne on by spotted coursers, favour. Him, too, Sarasvati and Agni further, and there is none to rob him of his riches.

अयं हि नेता वरुण ऋतस्य मित्रो राजानो अर्यमापो धुः। सुहवा देव्यदितिरनर्वा ते नो अंहो अति पर्षन्नरिष्टान्॥

ayaṁ hi netā varuṇa ṛtasya mitro rājāno aryamāpo dhuḥ | suhavā devyaditiranarvā te no aṁho ati parṣannariṣṭān ||

This Varuna is guide of Law, he, Mitra, and Aryaman, the Kings, our work have finished. Divine and foeless Aditi quickly listens. May these deliver us unharmed from trouble.

अस्य देवस्य मीळ्हुषो वया विष्णोरेषस्य प्रभृथे हविर्भिः। विदे हि रुद्रो रुद्रियं महित्वं यासिष्टं वर्तिरश्विनाविरावत्॥

asya devasya mīḻhuṣo vayā viṣṇoreṣasya prabhṛthe havirbhiḥ | vide hi rudro rudriyaṁ mahitvaṁ yāsiṣṭaṁ vartiraśvināvirāvat ||

With offerings I propitiate the branches of this swift-moving God, the bounteous Visnu. Hence Rudra gained his Rudra-strength: O Asvins, ye sought the house that hath celestial viands.

मात्र पूषन्नाघृण इरस्यो वरूत्री यद्रातिषाचश्च रासन्। मयोभुवो नो अर्वन्तो नि पान्तु वृष्टिं परिज्मा वातो ददातु॥

mātra pūṣannāghṛṇa irasyo varūtrī yadrātiṣācaśca rāsan | mayobhuvo no arvanto ni pāntu vṛṣṭiṁ parijmā vāto dadātu ||

Be not thou angry here, O glowing Pusan, for what Varutri and the Bounteous gave us. May the swift-moving Gods protect and bless us, and Vata send us rain, wha wanders round us.

नू रोदसी अभिष्टुते वसिष्ठैरृतावानो वरुणो मित्रो अग्निः। यच्छन्तु चन्द्रा उपमं नो अर्कं यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः॥

nū rodasī abhiṣṭute vasiṣṭhairṛtāvāno varuṇo mitro agniḥ | yacchantu candrā upamaṁ no arkaṁ yūyaṁ pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||

Now have both worlds been praised by the Vasisthas, and holy Mitra, Varuna, and Agni. May they, bright Deities, make our song supremest. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
