Sukta 59

प्र तार्यायुः प्रतरं नवीयः स्थातारेव क्रतुमता रथस्य। अध च्यवान उत्तवीत्यर्थं परातरं सु निरृतिर्जिहीताम्॥

pra tāryāyuḥ prataraṁ navīyaḥ sthātāreva kratumatā rathasya | adha cyavāna uttavītyarthaṁ parātaraṁ su nirṛtirjihītām ||

His life hath been renewed and carried forward as two men, car-borne, by the skilful driver. One falls, then seeks the goal with quickened vigour. Let Nirrti depart to distant places.

Here is the psalm for wealth, and food, in plenty: let us do many deeds to bring us glory. All these our doings shall delight the singer. Let Nirrti depart to distant places.

May we o'ercome our foes with acts of valour, as heaven is over earth, hills over lowlands. All these our deeds the singer hath considered. Let Nirrti depart to distant places.

मो षु णः सोम मृत्यवे परा दाः पश्येम नु सूर्यमुच्चरन्तम्। द्युभिर्हितो जरिमा सू नो अस्तु परातरं सु निरृतिर्जिहीताम्॥

mo ṣu ṇaḥ soma mṛtyave parā dāḥ paśyema nu sūryamuccarantam | dyubhirhito jarimā sū no astu parātaraṁ su nirṛtirjihītām ||

Give us not up as prey to death, O Sorna still let us look upon the Sun arising. Let our old age with passing days be kindly. Let Nirrti depart to distant places.

असुनीते मनो अस्मासु धारय जीवातवे सु प्र तिरा न आयुः। रारन्धि नः सूर्यस्य संदृशि घृतेन त्वं तन्वं वर्धयस्व॥

asunīte mano asmāsu dhāraya jīvātave su pra tirā na āyuḥ | rārandhi naḥ sūryasya saṁdṛśi ghṛtena tvaṁ tanvaṁ vardhayasva ||

O Asuniti, keep the soul within us, and make the days we have to live yet longer. Grant that we still may look upon the sunlight: strengthen thy body with the oil we bring thee.

असुनीते पुनरस्मासु चक्षुः पुनः प्राणमिह नो धेहि भोगम्। ज्योक्पश्येम सूर्यमुच्चरन्तमनुमते मृळया नः स्वस्ति॥

asunīte punarasmāsu cakṣuḥ punaḥ prāṇamiha no dhehi bhogam | jyokpaśyema sūryamuccarantamanumate mṛḻayā naḥ svasti ||

Give us our sight again, O Asuniti, give us again our breath and our enjoyment. Long may we look upon the Sun uprising; O Anumati, favour thou and bless us.

punarno asuṁ pṛthivī dadātu punardyaurdevī punarantarikṣam | punarnaḥ somastanvaṁ dadātu punaḥ pūṣā pathyāṁ yā svastiḥ ||

May Earth restore to us our vital spirit, may Heaven the Goddess and mid-air restore it. May Soma give us once again our body, and Pusan show the Path of peace and comfort.
