Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·3·3.15
इन्द्रम् अहं वणिजं चोदयामि स न ऐतु पुरएता नो अस्तु । नुदन्न् अरातिं परिपन्थिनं मृगं स ईशानो धनदा अस्तु मह्यम् ॥१॥
indram ahaṃ vaṇijaṃ codayāmi sa na aitu puraetā no astu | nudann arātiṃ paripanthinaṃ mṛgaṃ sa īśāno dhanadā astu mahyam ||1||
I stir up (cud) the trader Indra; let him come to us, be our forerunner; thrusting [away] the niggard, the waylaying wild animal, let him, having the power (īç), be giver of riches to me.
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)
