सूक्त ३४

त्रिश्चिन्नो अद्या भवतं नवेदसा विभुर्वां याम उत रातिरश्विना। युवोर्हि यन्त्रं हिम्येव वाससोऽभ्यायंसेन्या भवतं मनीषिभिः॥

triścinno adyā bhavataṁ navedasā vibhurvāṁ yāma uta rātiraśvinā | yuvorhi yantraṁ himyeva vāsaso'bhyāyaṁsenyā bhavataṁ manīṣibhiḥ ||

Ye who observe this day be with us even thrice: far-stretching is you bounty, Asvins and your course. To you, as to a cloak in winter, we cleave close: you are to be drawn nigh unto us by the wise.

त्रयः पवयो मधुवाहने रथे सोमस्य वेनामनु विश्व इद्विदुः। त्रयः स्कम्भासः स्कभितास आरभे त्रिर्नक्तं याथस्त्रिर्वश्विना दिवा॥

trayaḥ pavayo madhuvāhane rathe somasya venāmanu viśva idviduḥ | trayaḥ skambhāsaḥ skabhitāsa ārabhe trirnaktaṁ yāthastrirvaśvinā divā ||

Three are the fellies in your honey-bearing car, that travels after Soma's loved one, as all know. Three are the pillars set upon it for support: thrice journey ye by night, O Asvins, thrice by day.

समाने अहन्त्रिरवद्यगोहना त्रिरद्य यज्ञं मधुना मिमिक्षतम्। त्रिर्वाजवतीरिषो अश्विना युवं दोषा अस्मभ्यमुषसश्च पिन्वतम्॥

samāne ahantriravadyagohanā triradya yajñaṁ madhunā mimikṣatam | trirvājavatīriṣo aśvinā yuvaṁ doṣā asmabhyamuṣasaśca pinvatam ||

Thrice in the self-same day, ye Gods who banish want, sprinkle ye thrice to-day our sacrifice with meath; And thrice vouchsafe us store of food with plenteous strength, at evening, O ye Asvins, and at break of day.

त्रिर्वर्तिर्यातं त्रिरनुव्रते जने त्रिः सुप्राव्ये त्रेधेव शिक्षतम्। त्रिर्नान्द्यं वहतमश्विना युवं त्रिः पृक्षो अस्मे अक्षरेव पिन्वतम्॥

trirvartiryātaṁ triranuvrate jane triḥ suprāvye tredheva śikṣatam | trirnāndyaṁ vahatamaśvinā yuvaṁ triḥ pṛkṣo asme akṣareva pinvatam ||

Thrice come ye to our home, thrice to the righteous folk, thrice triply aid the man who well deserves your help. Thrice, O ye Asvins, bring us what shall make us glad; thrice send us store of food as nevermore to fail.

त्रिर्नो रयिं वहतमश्विना युवं त्रिर्देवताता त्रिरुतावतं धियः। त्रिः सौभगत्वं त्रिरुत श्रवांसि नस्त्रिष्ठं वां सूरे दुहिता रुहद्रथम्॥

trirno rayiṁ vahatamaśvinā yuvaṁ trirdevatātā trirutāvataṁ dhiyaḥ | triḥ saubhagatvaṁ triruta śravāṁsi nastriṣṭhaṁ vāṁ sūre duhitā ruhadratham ||

Thrice, O ye Asvins, bring to us abundant wealth: thrice in the Gods' assembly, thrice assist our thoughts. Thrice, grant ye us prosperity, thrice grant us fame; for the Sun's daughter hath mounted your three- wheeled car.

त्रिर्नो अश्विना दिव्यानि भेषजा त्रिः पार्थिवानि त्रिरु दत्तमद्भ्यः। ओमानं शंयोर्ममकाय सूनवे त्रिधातु शर्म वहतं शुभस्पती॥

trirno aśvinā divyāni bheṣajā triḥ pārthivāni triru dattamadbhyaḥ | omānaṁ śaṁyormamakāya sūnave tridhātu śarma vahataṁ śubhaspatī ||

Thrice, Asvins, grant to us the heavenly medicines, thrice those of earth and thrice those that the waters hold, Favour and health and strength bestow upon my son; triple protection, Lords of Splendour, grant to him.

त्रिर्नो अश्विना यजता दिवेदिवे परि त्रिधातु पृथिवीमशायतम्। तिस्रो नासत्या रथ्या परावत आत्मेव वातः स्वसराणि गच्छतम्॥

trirno aśvinā yajatā divedive pari tridhātu pṛthivīmaśāyatam | tisro nāsatyā rathyā parāvata ātmeva vātaḥ svasarāṇi gacchatam ||

Thrice are ye to be worshipped day by day by us: thrice, O ye Asvins, ye travel around the earth. Car-borne from far away, O ye Nasatyas, come, like vital air to bodies, come ye to the three.

त्रिरश्विना सिन्धुभिः सप्तमातृभिस्त्रय आहावास्त्रेधा हविष्कृतम्। तिस्रः पृथिवीरुपरि प्रवा दिवो नाकं रक्षेथे द्युभिरक्तुभिर्हितम्॥

triraśvinā sindhubhiḥ saptamātṛbhistraya āhāvāstredhā haviṣkṛtam | tisraḥ pṛthivīrupari pravā divo nākaṁ rakṣethe dyubhiraktubhirhitam ||

Thrice, O ye Asvins, with the Seven Mother Streams; three are the jars, the triple offering is prepared. Three are the worlds, and moving on above the sky ye guard the firm-set vault of heaven through days and nights.

क्व त्री चक्रा त्रिवृतो रथस्य क्व त्रयो वन्धुरो ये सनीळाः। कदा योगो वाजिनो रासभस्य येन यज्ञं नासत्योपयाथः॥

kva trī cakrā trivṛto rathasya kva trayo vandhuro ye sanīḻāḥ | kadā yogo vājino rāsabhasya yena yajñaṁ nāsatyopayāthaḥ ||

Where are the three wheels of your triple chariot, where are the three seats thereto firmly fastened? When will ye yoke the mighty ass that draws it, to bring you to our sacrifice. Nasatyas?

आ नासत्या गच्छतं हूयते हविर्मध्वः पिबतं मधुपेभिरासभिः। युवोर्हि पूर्वं सवितोषसो रथमृताय चित्रं घृतवन्तमिष्यति॥

ā nāsatyā gacchataṁ hūyate havirmadhvaḥ pibataṁ madhupebhirāsabhiḥ | yuvorhi pūrvaṁ savitoṣaso rathamṛtāya citraṁ ghṛtavantamiṣyati ||

Nasatyas, come: the sacred gift is offered up; drink the sweet juice with lips that know the sweetness well. Savitar sends, before the dawn of day, your car, fraught with oil, various-coloured, to our sacrifice.

आ नासत्या त्रिभिरेकादशैरिह देवेभिर्यातं मधुपेयमश्विना। प्रायुस्तारिष्टं नी रपांसि मृक्षतं सेधतं द्वेषो भवतं सचाभुवा॥

ā nāsatyā tribhirekādaśairiha devebhiryātaṁ madhupeyamaśvinā | prāyustāriṣṭaṁ nī rapāṁsi mṛkṣataṁ sedhataṁ dveṣo bhavataṁ sacābhuvā ||

Come, O Nasatyas, with the thrice-eleven Gods; come, O ye Asvins, to the drinking of the meath. Make long our days of life, and wipe out all our sins: ward off our enemies; be with us evermore.

आ नो अश्विना त्रिवृता रथेनार्वाञ्चं रयिं वहतं सुवीरम्। शृण्वन्ता वामवसे जोहवीमि वृधे च नो भवतं वाजसातौ॥

ā no aśvinā trivṛtā rathenārvāñcaṁ rayiṁ vahataṁ suvīram | śṛṇvantā vāmavase johavīmi vṛdhe ca no bhavataṁ vājasātau ||

Borne in your triple car, O Asvins, bring us present prosperity with noble offspring. I cry to you who hear me for protection be ye our helpers where men win the booty.
