सूक्त ७१

उदु ष्य देवः सविता हिरण्यया बाहू अयंस्त सवनाय सुक्रतुः। घृतेन पाणी अभि प्रुष्णुते मखो युवा सुदक्षो रजसो विधर्मणि॥

udu ṣya devaḥ savitā hiraṇyayā bāhū ayaṁsta savanāya sukratuḥ | ghṛtena pāṇī abhi pruṣṇute makho yuvā sudakṣo rajaso vidharmaṇi ||

FULL of effectual wisdom Savitar the God hath stretched out golden arms that he may bring forth life. Young and most skilful, while he holds the region up, the Warrior sprinkles fatness over both his hands.

देवस्य वयं सवितुः सवीमनि श्रेष्ठे स्याम वसुनश्च दावने। यो विश्वस्य द्विपदो यश्चतुष्पदो निवेशने प्रसवे चासि भूमनः॥

devasya vayaṁ savituḥ savīmani śreṣṭhe syāma vasunaśca dāvane | yo viśvasya dvipado yaścatuṣpado niveśane prasave cāsi bhūmanaḥ ||

May we enjoy the noblest vivifying force of Savitar the God, that he may give us wealth: For thou art mighty to produce and lull to rest the world of life that moves on two feet and on four.

अदब्धेभिः सवितः पायुभिष्ट्वं शिवेभिरद्य परि पाहि नो गयम्। हिरण्यजिह्वः सुविताय नव्यसे रक्षा माकिर्नो अघशंस ईशत॥

adabdhebhiḥ savitaḥ pāyubhiṣṭvaṁ śivebhiradya pari pāhi no gayam | hiraṇyajihvaḥ suvitāya navyase rakṣā mākirno aghaśaṁsa īśata ||

Protect our habitation, Savitar, this day, with guardian aids around, auspicious, firm and true. God of the golden tongue, keep us for newest bliss: let not the evil-wisher have us in his power.

उदु ष्य देवः सविता दमूना हिरण्यपाणिः प्रतिदोषमस्थात्। अयोहनुर्यजतो मन्द्रजिह्व आ दाशुषे सुवति भूरि वामम्॥

udu ṣya devaḥ savitā damūnā hiraṇyapāṇiḥ pratidoṣamasthāt | ayohanuryajato mandrajihva ā dāśuṣe suvati bhūri vāmam ||

This Savitar the God, the golden-handed, Friend of the home, hath risen to meet the twilight. With cheeks of brass, with pleasant tongue, the Holy, he sends the worshipper rich gifts in plenty.

उदू अयाँ उपवक्तेव बाहू हिरण्यया सविता सुप्रतीका। दिवो रोहांस्यरुहत्पृथिव्या अरीरमत्पतयत्कच्चिदभ्वम्॥

udū ayā upavakteva bāhū hiraṇyayā savitā supratīkā | divo rohāṁsyaruhatpṛthivyā arīramatpatayatkaccidabhvam ||

Like a Director, Savitar hath extended his golden arms, exceeding fair to look on. He hath gone up the heights of earth and heaven, and made each monster fall and cease from troubling.

वाममद्य सवितर्वाममु श्वो दिवेदिवे वाममस्मभ्यं सावीः। वामस्य हि क्षयस्य देव भूरेरया धिया वामभाजः स्याम॥

vāmamadya savitarvāmamu śvo divedive vāmamasmabhyaṁ sāvīḥ | vāmasya hi kṣayasya deva bhūrerayā dhiyā vāmabhājaḥ syāma ||

Fair wealth, O Savitar, to-day, to-morrow, fair wealth produce for us each day that passes. May we through this our song be happy gainers, God, of a fair and spacious habitation.
