सूक्त ९८

वैश्वानरस्य सुमतौ स्याम राजा हि कं भुवनानामभिश्रीः। इतो जातो विश्वमिदं वि चष्टे वैश्वानरो यतते सूर्येण॥

vaiśvānarasya sumatau syāma rājā hi kaṁ bhuvanānāmabhiśrīḥ | ito jāto viśvamidaṁ vi caṣṭe vaiśvānaro yatate sūryeṇa ||

STILL in Vaisvanara's grace may we continue: yea, he is King supreme o'er all things living. Sprung hence to life upon this All he looketh. Vaisvanara hath rivalry with Surya.

पृष्टो दिवि पृष्टो अग्निः पृथिव्यां पृष्टो विश्वा ओषधीरा विवेश। वैश्वानरः सहसा पृष्टो अग्निः स नो दिवा स रिषः पातु नक्तम्॥

pṛṣṭo divi pṛṣṭo agniḥ pṛthivyāṁ pṛṣṭo viśvā oṣadhīrā viveśa | vaiśvānaraḥ sahasā pṛṣṭo agniḥ sa no divā sa riṣaḥ pātu naktam ||

Present in heaven, in earth, all-present Agni,-all plants that grow on ground hath he pervaded. May Agni, may Vaisvanara with vigour, present, preserve us day and night from foemen.

वैश्वानर तव तत्सत्यमस्त्वस्मान्रायो मघवानः सचन्ताम्। तन्नो मित्रो वरुणो मामहन्तामदितिः सिन्धुः पृथिवी उत द्यौः॥

vaiśvānara tava tatsatyamastvasmānrāyo maghavānaḥ sacantām | tanno mitro varuṇo māmahantāmaditiḥ sindhuḥ pṛthivī uta dyauḥ ||

Be this thy truth, Vaisvanara, to us-ward: let wealth in rich abundance gather round us. This prayer of ours may Varuna grant, and Mitra, and Aditi and Sindhu, Earth and Heaven.
