सूक्त ५७

मा प्र गाम पथो वयं मा यज्ञादिन्द्र सोमिनः। मान्तः स्थुर्नो अरातयः॥

mā pra gāma patho vayaṁ mā yajñādindra sominaḥ | māntaḥ sthurno arātayaḥ ||

LET us not, Indra, leave the path, the Soma-presser's sacrifice: Let no malignity dwell with us.

यो यज्ञस्य प्रसाधनस्तन्तुर्देवेष्वाततः। तमाहुतं नशीमहि॥

yo yajñasya prasādhanastanturdeveṣvātataḥ | tamāhutaṁ naśīmahi ||

May we obtain, completely wrought, the thread spun out to reach the Gods, That perfecteth the sacrifice.

मनो न्वा हुवामहे नाराशंसेन सोमेन। पितॄणां च मन्मभिः॥

mano nvā huvāmahe nārāśaṁsena somena | pitṝṇāṁ ca manmabhiḥ ||

We call the spirit hither with the Soma of our parted sires, Yea, with the Fathers' holy hymns.

आ त एतु मनः पुनः क्रत्वे दक्षाय जीवसे। ज्योक्च सूर्यं दृशे॥

ā ta etu manaḥ punaḥ kratve dakṣāya jīvase | jyokca sūryaṁ dṛśe ||

Thy spirit come to thee again for wisdom, energy, and lire, That thou mayst long behold the sun!

पुनर्नः पितरो मनो ददातु दैव्यो जनः। जीवं व्रातं सचेमहि॥

punarnaḥ pitaro mano dadātu daivyo janaḥ | jīvaṁ vrātaṁ sacemahi ||

O Fathers, may the Heavenly Folk give us our spirit once again, That we may be with those who live.

वयं सोम व्रते तव मनस्तनूषु बिभ्रतः। प्रजावन्तः सचेमहि॥

vayaṁ soma vrate tava manastanūṣu bibhrataḥ | prajāvantaḥ sacemahi ||

O Soma with the spirit still within us, blest with progeny, May we be busied in the law.
