सूक्त ४१

प्रातरग्निं प्रातरिन्द्रं हवामहे प्रातर्मित्रावरुणा प्रातरश्विना। प्रातर्भगं पूषणं ब्रह्मणस्पतिं प्रातः सोममुत रुद्रं हुवेम॥

prātaragniṁ prātarindraṁ havāmahe prātarmitrāvaruṇā prātaraśvinā | prātarbhagaṁ pūṣaṇaṁ brahmaṇaspatiṁ prātaḥ somamuta rudraṁ huvema ||

AGNI at dawn, and Indra we invoke at dawn, and Varuna and Mitra, and the Asvins twain. Bhaga at dawn, Pusan, and Brahmanaspati, Soma at dawn, Rudra we will invoke at dawn.

प्रातर्जितं भगमुग्रं हुवेम वयं पुत्रमदितेर्यो विधर्ता। आध्रश्चिद्यं मन्यमानस्तुरश्चिद्राजा चिद्यं भगं भक्षीत्याह॥

prātarjitaṁ bhagamugraṁ huvema vayaṁ putramaditeryo vidhartā | ādhraścidyaṁ manyamānasturaścidrājā cidyaṁ bhagaṁ bhakṣītyāha ||

We will invoke strong, early-conquering Bhaga, the Son of Aditi, the great supporter: Thinking of whom, the poor, yea, even the mighty, even the King himself says, Give me Bhaga.

भग प्रणेतर्भग सत्यराधो भगेमां धियमुदवा ददन्नः। भग प्र णो जनय गोभिरश्वैर्भग प्र नृभिर्नृवन्तः स्याम॥

bhaga praṇetarbhaga satyarādho bhagemāṁ dhiyamudavā dadannaḥ | bhaga pra ṇo janaya gobhiraśvairbhaga pra nṛbhirnṛvantaḥ syāma ||

Bhaga our guide, Bhaga whose gifts are faithful, favour this song, and give us wealth, O Bhaga. Bhaga, augment our store of kine and horses, Bhaga, may we be rich in men and heroes.

उतेदानीं भगवन्तः स्यामोत प्रपित्व उत मध्ये अह्नाम्। उतोदिता मघवन्सूर्यस्य वयं देवानां सुमतौ स्याम॥

utedānīṁ bhagavantaḥ syāmota prapitva uta madhye ahnām | utoditā maghavansūryasya vayaṁ devānāṁ sumatau syāma ||

So may felicity be ours at present, and when the day approaches, and at noontide; And may we still, O Bounteous One, at sunset be happy in the Deities' loving-kindness.

भग एव भगवाँ अस्तु देवास्तेन वयं भगवन्तः स्याम। तं त्वा भग सर्व इज्जोहवीति स नो भग पुरएता भवेह॥

bhaga eva bhagavā astu devāstena vayaṁ bhagavantaḥ syāma | taṁ tvā bhaga sarva ijjohavīti sa no bhaga puraetā bhaveha ||

May Bhaga verily be bliss-bestower, and through him, Gods! may happiness attend us. As such, O Bhaga, all with might invoke thee: as such be thou our Champion here, O Bhaga.

समध्वरायोषसो नमन्त दधिक्रावेव शुचये पदाय। अर्वाचीनं वसुविदं भगं नो रथमिवाश्वा वाजिन आ वहन्तु॥

samadhvarāyoṣaso namanta dadhikrāveva śucaye padāya | arvācīnaṁ vasuvidaṁ bhagaṁ no rathamivāśvā vājina ā vahantu ||

To this our worship may all Dawns incline them, and come to the pure place like Dadhikravan. As strong steeds draw a chariot may they bring us hitherward Bhaga who discovers treasure.

अश्वावतीर्गोमतीर्न उषासो वीरवतीः सदमुच्छन्तु भद्राः। घृतं दुहाना विश्वतः प्रपीता यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः॥

aśvāvatīrgomatīrna uṣāso vīravatīḥ sadamucchantu bhadrāḥ | ghṛtaṁ duhānā viśvataḥ prapītā yūyaṁ pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||

May blessed Mornings dawn on us for ever, with wealth of kine, of horses, and of heroes, Streaming with all abundance, pouring fatness. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
