सूक्त २८

ये त्रिंशति त्रयस्परो देवासो बर्हिरासदन्। विदन्नह द्वितासनन्॥

ye triṁśati trayasparo devāso barhirāsadan | vidannaha dvitāsanan ||

THE Thirty Gods and Three besides, whose seat hath been the sacred grass, From time of old have found and gained.

वरुणो मित्रो अर्यमा स्मद्रातिषाचो अग्नयः। पत्नीवन्तो वषट्कृताः॥

varuṇo mitro aryamā smadrātiṣāco agnayaḥ | patnīvanto vaṣaṭkṛtāḥ ||

Varuna, Mitra, Aryaman, Agnis, with Consorts, sending boons, To whom our Vasat! is addressed:

ते नो गोपा अपाच्यास्त उदक्त इत्था न्यक्। पुरस्तात्सर्वया विशा॥

te no gopā apācyāsta udakta itthā nyak | purastātsarvayā viśā ||

These are our guardians in the west, and northward here, and in the south, And on the cast, with all the tribe.

यथा वशन्ति देवास्तथेदसत्तदेषां नकिरा मिनत्। अरावा चन मर्त्यः॥

yathā vaśanti devāstathedasattadeṣāṁ nakirā minat | arāvā cana martyaḥ ||

Even as the Gods desire so verily shall it be. None minisheth this power of theirs, No demon, and no mortal

सप्तानां सप्त ऋष्टयः सप्त द्युम्नान्येषाम्। सप्तो अधि श्रियो धिरे॥

saptānāṁ sapta ṛṣṭayaḥ sapta dyumnānyeṣām | sapto adhi śriyo dhire ||

The Seven carry seven spears; seven are the splendours they possess, And seven the glories they assume.
