सूक्त १५८

सूर्यो नो दिवस्पातु वातो अन्तरिक्षात्। अग्निर्नः पार्थिवेभ्यः॥

sūryo no divaspātu vāto antarikṣāt | agnirnaḥ pārthivebhyaḥ ||

MAY Surya guard us out of heaven, and Vata from the firmament, And Agni from terrestrial spots.

जोषा सवितर्यस्य ते हरः शतं सवाँ अर्हति। पाहि नो दिद्युतः पतन्त्याः॥

joṣā savitaryasya te haraḥ śataṁ savā arhati | pāhi no didyutaḥ patantyāḥ ||

Thou Savitar whose flame deserves hundred libations, be thou pleased: From failing lightning keep us safe.

चक्षुर्नो देवः सविता चक्षुर्न उत पर्वतः। चक्षुर्धाता दधातु नः॥

cakṣurno devaḥ savitā cakṣurna uta parvataḥ | cakṣurdhātā dadhātu naḥ ||

May Savitar the God, and may Parvata also give us sight; May the Creator give us sight.

चक्षुर्नो धेहि चक्षुषे चक्षुर्विख्यै तनूभ्यः। सं चेदं वि च पश्येम॥

cakṣurno dhehi cakṣuṣe cakṣurvikhyai tanūbhyaḥ | saṁ cedaṁ vi ca paśyema ||

Give sight unto our eye, give thou our bodies sight that they may see: May we survey, discern this world.

सुसंदृशं त्वा वयं प्रति पश्येम सूर्य। वि पश्येम नृचक्षसः॥

susaṁdṛśaṁ tvā vayaṁ prati paśyema sūrya | vi paśyema nṛcakṣasaḥ ||

Thus, Surya, may we look on thee, on thee most lovely to behold, See clearly with the eyes of men.
