Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

ये पन्थानो बहवो देवयाना अन्तरा द्यावापृथिवी संचरन्ति । ते मा जुषन्तां पयसा घृतेन यथा क्रीत्वा धनम् आहराणि ॥२॥

ye panthāno bahavo devayānā antarā dyāvāpṛthivī saṃcaranti | te mā juṣantāṃ payasā ghṛtena yathā krītvā dhanam āharāṇi ||2||

The many roads, travelled by the gods, that go about (sam-car) between heaven-and-earth—let them enjoy me with milk, with ghee, that dealing (krī) I may get (ā-hṛ) riches.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

इध्मेनाग्न इछमानो घृतेन जुहोमि हव्यं तरसे बलाय । यावद् ईशे ब्रह्मणा वन्दमान इमां धियं शतसेयाय देवीम् ॥३॥

idhmenāgna ichamāno ghṛtena juhomi havyaṃ tarase balāya | yāvad īśe brahmaṇā vandamāna imāṃ dhiyaṃ śataseyāya devīm ||3||

With fuel, O Agni, with ghee, I, desiring, offer the oblation, in order to energy (táras), to strength;—revering with worship (bráhman), so far as I am able—this divine prayer (dhī́), in order to hundred-fold winning.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

इमाम् अग्ने शरणिं मीमृषो नो यम् अध्वानम् अगाम दूरम् । शुनं नो अस्तु प्रपणो विक्रयश् च प्रतिपणः फलिनं मा कृणोतु । इदं हव्यं संविदानौ जुषेथां शुनं नो अस्तु चरितम् उत्थितं च ॥४॥

imām agne śaraṇiṃ mīmṛṣo no yam adhvānam agāma dūram | śunaṃ no astu prapaṇo vikrayaś ca pratipaṇaḥ phalinaṃ mā kṛṇotu | idaṃ havyaṃ saṃvidānau juṣethāṃ śunaṃ no astu caritam utthitaṃ ca ||4||

This offense (? çaráṇi) of ours mayest thou, O Agni, bear with (mṛṣ), what distant road we have gone. Successful (çuná) for us be bargain and sale; let return-dealing make me fruitful; do ye two enjoy this oblation in concord; successful for us be our going about and rising.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

येन धनेन प्रपणं चरामि धनेन देवा धनम् इछमानः । तन् मे भूयो भवतु मा कनीयो ऽग्ने सातघ्नो देवान् हविषा नि षेध ॥५॥

yena dhanena prapaṇaṃ carāmi dhanena devā dhanam ichamānaḥ | tan me bhūyo bhavatu mā kanīyo 'gne sātaghno devān haviṣā ni ṣedha ||5||

With what riches I practise (car) bargaining, seeking riches with riches, ye gods—let that become more for me, not less; O Agni, put down (ni-sidh) with the oblation the gain-slaying gods.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

येन धनेन प्रपणं चरामि धनेन देवा धनम् इछमानः । तस्मिन् म इन्द्रो रुचिम् आ दधातु प्रजापतिः सविता सोमो अग्निः ॥६॥

yena dhanena prapaṇaṃ carāmi dhanena devā dhanam ichamānaḥ | tasmin ma indro rucim ā dadhātu prajāpatiḥ savitā somo agniḥ ||6||

With what riches I practise bargaining, seeking riches with riches, ye gods—therein let Indra assign me pleasure (? rúci), let Prajāpati, Savitar, Soma, Agni.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

उप त्वा नमसा वयं होतर् वैश्वानर स्तुमः । स नः प्रजास्व् आत्मसु गोषु प्राणेषु जागृहि ॥७॥

upa tvā namasā vayaṃ hotar vaiśvānara stumaḥ | sa naḥ prajāsv ātmasu goṣu prāṇeṣu jāgṛhi ||7||

Unto thee with homage do we, O priest Vāiçvānara ('for all men'), give praise; do thou watch over our progeny, our selves, our kine, our breaths.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

विश्वाहा ते सदम् इद् भरेमाश्वायेव तिष्ठते जातवेदः । रायस् पोषेण सम् इषा मदन्तो मा ते अग्ने प्रतिवेशा रिषाम ॥८॥

viśvāhā te sadam id bharemāśvāyeva tiṣṭhate jātavedaḥ | rāyas poṣeṇa sam iṣā madanto mā te agne prativeśā riṣāma ||8||

Every day may we bring constantly for thee as for a standing horse, O Jātavedas; rejoicing together with abundance of wealth, with food, may we thy neighbors, O Agni, take no harm.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

प्रातर् अग्निं प्रातर् इन्द्रम् हवामहे प्रातर् मित्रावरुणा प्रातर् अश्विना । प्रातर् भगं पूषणं ब्रह्मणस् पतिं प्रातः सोमम् उत रुद्रं हवामहे ॥१॥

prātar agniṃ prātar indram havāmahe prātar mitrāvaruṇā prātar aśvinā | prātar bhagaṃ pūṣaṇaṃ brahmaṇas patiṃ prātaḥ somam uta rudraṃ havāmahe ||1||

Early (prātár) do we call Agni, early Indra, early Mitra-and-Varuṇa, early the (two) Açvins, early Bhaga, Pūshan, Brahmaṇaspati, early Soma and Rudra do we call.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

प्रातर्जितं भगम् उग्रम् हवामहे वयं पुत्रम् अदितेर् यो विधर्ता । आध्रश् चिद् यं मन्यमानस् तुरश् चिद् राजा चिद् यं भगं भक्षीत्य् आह ॥२॥

prātarjitaṃ bhagam ugram havāmahe vayaṃ putram aditer yo vidhartā | ādhraś cid yaṃ manyamānas turaś cid rājā cid yaṃ bhagaṃ bhakṣīty āha ||2||

The early-conquering formidable Bhaga do we call, the son of Aditi who is disposer (vidhartár), to whom every one that thinks himself weak [or] strong, ⌊to whom even the king⌋ says: "apportion [me] a portion."

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

भग प्रणेतर् भग सत्यराधो भगेमां धियम् उद् अवा ददन् नः । भग प्र णो जनय गोभिर् अश्वैर् भग प्र नृभिर् नृवन्तः स्याम ॥३॥

bhaga praṇetar bhaga satyarādho bhagemāṃ dhiyam ud avā dadan naḥ | bhaga pra ṇo janaya gobhir aśvair bhaga pra nṛbhir nṛvantaḥ syāma ||3||

O Bhaga, conductor, Bhaga, thou of true bestowal, Bhaga, help upward this prayer (dhī́), giving to us; O Bhaga, cause us to multiply with kine, with horses, O Bhaga, with men,—rich in men may we be.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

उतेदानीं भगवन्तः स्यामोत प्रपित्व उत मध्ये अह्नाम् । उतोदितौ मघवन्त् सूर्यस्य वयं देवानां सुमतौ स्याम ॥४॥

utedānīṃ bhagavantaḥ syāmota prapitva uta madhye ahnām | utoditau maghavant sūryasya vayaṃ devānāṃ sumatau syāma ||4||

Both now may we be fortunate (bhágavant), and in the advance (? prapitvá) and in the middle of the days; and, O bounteous one, at the up-going of the sun, may we be in the favor of the gods.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

भग एव भगवां अस्तु देवस् तेना वयं भगवन्तः स्याम । तं त्वा भग सर्व इज् जोहवीमि स नो भग पुरएता भवेह ॥५॥

bhaga eva bhagavāṃ astu devas tenā vayaṃ bhagavantaḥ syāma | taṃ tvā bhaga sarva ij johavīmi sa no bhaga puraetā bhaveha ||5||

Let the god Bhaga himself be fortunate; through him may we be fortunate; on thee here, Bhaga, do I call entire; do thou, O Bhaga, be our forerunner here.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

सम् अध्वरायोषसो नमन्त दधिक्रावेव शुचये पदाय । अर्वाचीनं वसुविदं भगं मे रथम् इवाश्वा वाजिन आ वहन्तु ॥६॥

sam adhvarāyoṣaso namanta dadhikrāveva śucaye padāya | arvācīnaṃ vasuvidaṃ bhagaṃ me ratham ivāśvā vājina ā vahantu ||6||

The dawns submit themselves (? sam-nam) to the sacrifice (adhvará), as Dadhikrāvan to the bright place; hitherward let them convey for me Bhaga, acquirer of good things, as vigorous (vājín) horses a chariot.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

अश्वावतीर् गोमतीर् न उषासो वीरवतीः सदम् उछन्तु भद्राः । घृतं दुहाना विश्वतः प्रपीता यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥७॥

aśvāvatīr gomatīr na uṣāso vīravatīḥ sadam uchantu bhadrāḥ | ghṛtaṃ duhānā viśvataḥ prapītā yūyaṃ pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||7||

Let excellent dawns, rich in horses, rich in kine, rich in heroes, always shine for us, yielding (duh) ghee, on all sides drunk of: do ye protect us ever with well-beings.

Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)

सीरा युञ्जन्ति कवयो युगा वि तन्वते पृथक् । धीरा देवेषु सुम्नयौ ॥१॥

sīrā yuñjanti kavayo yugā vi tanvate pṛthak | dhīrā deveṣu sumnayau ||1||

Wise, through desire of bliss from Gods, the skillful bind the traces fast, And lay the yokes on either side.

युनक्त सीरा वि युगा तनोत कृते योनौ वपतेह बीजम् । विराजः श्नुष्टिः सभरा असन् नो नेदीय इत् सृण्यः पक्वम् आ यवन् ॥२॥
