ये भक्षयन्तो न वसून्य् आनृधुर् यान् अग्नयो अन्वतप्यन्त धिष्ण्याः । या तेषाम् अवया दुरिष्टिः स्विष्टिं नस् तां कृणवद् विश्वकर्मा ॥१॥
ye bhakṣayanto na vasūny ānṛdhur yān agnayo anvatapyanta dhiṣṇyāḥ | yā teṣām avayā duriṣṭiḥ sviṣṭiṃ nas tāṃ kṛṇavad viśvakarmā ||1||
They who, partaking [of soma] (bhakṣ), did not prosper (ṛdh) in good things, whom the fires of the sacrificial hearth were distressed about (anu-tapya-)—what was the expiation (avayá) of their ill-sacrifice, may Viçvakarman ('the all-worker') make that for us a good sacrifice.
The seers declare the master (-páti) of the sacrifice by reason of sin disportioned, distressed about [his] offspring. What honeyed drops he offended in (? apa-rādh), with them let Viçvakarman unite (sam-sṛj) us.
adānyānt somapān manyamāno yajñasya vidvānt samaye na dhīraḥ | yad enaś cakṛvān baddha eṣa taṃ viśvakarman pra muñcā svastaye ||3||
Thinking the soma-drinkers to be unworthy of gifts (? adānyá), [though] knowing of the sacrifice, [he is] not wise (dhī́ra) in the conjuncture (samayá); in that this man is bound having committed a sin, do thou, O Viçvakarman, release him for his well-being.
ghorā ṛṣayo namo astv ebhyaś cakṣur yad eṣāṃ manasaś ca satyam | bṛhaspataye mahiṣa dyumann namo viśvakarman namas te pāhy asmān ||4||
Terrible [are] the seers; homage be to them! what sight [is] theirs, and the actuality (satyá) of their mind. For Brihaspati, O bull (mahiṣá), [be] bright (dyumánt) homage; O Viçvakarman, homage to thee! protect thou us.
The sacrifice's eye, commencement, and face: with voice, hearing, mind I make oblation. To this sacrifice, extended by Viçvakarman, let the gods come, well-willing.
