सूक्त ३८

उदु ष्य देवः सविता ययाम हिरण्ययीममतिं यामशिश्रेत्। नूनं भगो हव्यो मानुषेभिर्वि यो रत्ना पुरूवसुर्दधाति॥

udu ṣya devaḥ savitā yayāma hiraṇyayīmamatiṁ yāmaśiśret | nūnaṁ bhago havyo mānuṣebhirvi yo ratnā purūvasurdadhāti ||

ON high hath Savitar, this God, extended the golden lustre which he spreads around him. Now, now must Bhaga be invoked by mortals, Lord of great riches who distributes treasures.

उदु तिष्ठ सवितः श्रुध्यस्य हिरण्यपाणे प्रभृतावृतस्य। व्युर्वीं पृथ्वीममतिं सृजान आ नृभ्यो मर्तभोजनं सुवानः॥

udu tiṣṭha savitaḥ śrudhyasya hiraṇyapāṇe prabhṛtāvṛtasya | vyurvīṁ pṛthvīmamatiṁ sṛjāna ā nṛbhyo martabhojanaṁ suvānaḥ ||

Rise up, O Savitar whose hands are golden, and hear this man while sacrifice is offered, Spreading afar thy broad and wide effulgence, and bringing mortal men the food that feeds them.

अपि ष्टुतः सविता देवो अस्तु यमा चिद्विश्वे वसवो गृणन्ति। स नः स्तोमान्नमस्यश्चनो धाद्विश्वेभिः पातु पायुभिर्नि सूरीन्॥

api ṣṭutaḥ savitā devo astu yamā cidviśve vasavo gṛṇanti | sa naḥ stomānnamasyaścano dhādviśvebhiḥ pātu pāyubhirni sūrīn ||

Let Savitar the God he hymned with praises, to whom the Vasus, even, all sing glory. Sweet be our lauds to him whose due is worship: may he with all protection guard our princes.

अभि यं देव्यदितिर्गृणाति सवं देवस्य सवितुर्जुषाणा। अभि सम्राजो वरुणो गृणन्त्यभि मित्रासो अर्यमा सजोषाः॥

abhi yaṁ devyaditirgṛṇāti savaṁ devasya saviturjuṣāṇā | abhi samrājo varuṇo gṛṇantyabhi mitrāso aryamā sajoṣāḥ ||

Even he whom Aditi the Goddess praises, rejoicing in God Savitar's incitement: Even he who praise the high imperial Rulers, Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman, sing in concert.

अभि ये मिथो वनुषः सपन्ते रातिं दिवो रातिषाचः पृथिव्याः। अहिर्बुध्न्य उत नः शृणोतु वरूत्र्येकधेनुभिर्नि पातु॥

abhi ye mitho vanuṣaḥ sapante rātiṁ divo rātiṣācaḥ pṛthivyāḥ | ahirbudhnya uta naḥ śṛṇotu varūtryekadhenubhirni pātu ||

They who come emulous to our oblation, dispensing bounty, from the earth and heaven. May they and Ahibudhnya hear our calling: guard us Varutri with the Ekadhenus.

अनु तन्नो जास्पतिर्मंसीष्ट रत्नं देवस्य सवितुरियानः। भगमुग्रोऽवसे जोहवीति भगमनुग्रो अध याति रत्नम्॥

anu tanno jāspatirmaṁsīṣṭa ratnaṁ devasya savituriyānaḥ | bhagamugro'vase johavīti bhagamanugro adha yāti ratnam ||

This may the Lord of Life, entreated, grant us,-the wealth which Savitar the God possesses. The mighty calls on Bhaga for protection, on Bhaga calls the weak to give him riches.

शं नो भवन्तु वाजिनो हवेषु देवताता मितद्रवः स्वर्काः। जम्भयन्तोऽहिं वृकं रक्षांसि सनेम्यस्मद्युयवन्नमीवाः॥

śaṁ no bhavantu vājino haveṣu devatātā mitadravaḥ svarkāḥ | jambhayanto'hiṁ vṛkaṁ rakṣāṁsi sanemyasmadyuyavannamīvāḥ ||

Bless us the Vajins when we call, while slowly they move, strong Singers, to the Gods' assembly. Crushing the wolf, the serpent, and the demons, may they completely banish all affliction.

वाजेवाजेऽवत वाजिनो नो धनेषु विप्रा अमृता ऋतज्ञाः। अस्य मध्वः पिबत मादयध्वं तृप्ता यात पथिभिर्देवयानैः॥

vājevāje'vata vājino no dhaneṣu viprā amṛtā ṛtajñāḥ | asya madhvaḥ pibata mādayadhvaṁ tṛptā yāta pathibhirdevayānaiḥ ||

Deep-skilled in Law eternal, deathless, Singers, O Vajins, help us in each fray for booty. Drink of this meath, he satisfied, be joyful: then go on paths which Gods are wont to travel.
