सूक्त ५४

वास्तोष्पते प्रति जानीह्यस्मान्स्वावेशो अनमीवो भवा नः। यत्त्वेमहे प्रति तन्नो जुषस्व शं नो भव द्विपदे शं चतुष्पदे॥

vāstoṣpate prati jānīhyasmānsvāveśo anamīvo bhavā naḥ | yattvemahe prati tanno juṣasva śaṁ no bhava dvipade śaṁ catuṣpade ||

ACKNOWLEDGE us, O Guardian of the Homestead: bring no disease, and give us happy entrance. Whate'er we ask of thee, be pleased to grant it, and prosper thou quadrupeds and bipeds.

वास्तोष्पते प्रतरणो न एधि गयस्फानो गोभिरश्वेभिरिन्दो। अजरासस्ते सख्ये स्याम पितेव पुत्रान्प्रति नो जुषस्व॥

vāstoṣpate prataraṇo na edhi gayasphāno gobhiraśvebhirindo | ajarāsaste sakhye syāma piteva putrānprati no juṣasva ||

Protector of the Home, be our promoter: increase our wealth in kine and steeds, O Indu. May we be ever-youthful in thy friendship: be pleased in us as in his sons a father.

वास्तोष्पते शग्मया संसदा ते सक्षीमहि रण्वया गातुमत्या। पाहि क्षेम उत योगे वरं नो यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः॥

vāstoṣpate śagmayā saṁsadā te sakṣīmahi raṇvayā gātumatyā | pāhi kṣema uta yoge varaṁ no yūyaṁ pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||

Through thy dear fellowship that bringeth welfare, may we be victors, Guardian of the Dwelling! Protect our happiness in rest and labour. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
