Library·Atharvaveda Saṃhitā (Śaunaka)·4·4.25
वायोः सवितुर् विदथानि मन्महे याव् आत्मन्वद् विशथो यौ च रक्षथः । यौ विश्वस्य परिभू बभूवथुस् तौ नो मुञ्चतम् अंहसः ॥१॥
vāyoḥ savitur vidathāni manmahe yāv ātmanvad viśatho yau ca rakṣathaḥ | yau viśvasya paribhū babhūvathus tau no muñcatam aṃhasaḥ ||1||
Of Vāyu, of Savitar we reverence the counsels (vidátha): ye who enter and who defend what has life (ātmanvánt); ye who have become encompassers of the all—do ye free us from distress.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
ययोः संख्याता वरिमा पार्हिवानि याभ्यां रजो युपितम् अन्तरिक्षे । ययोः प्रायं नान्व् आनशे कश् चन तौ नो मुञ्चतम् अंहसः ॥२॥
yayoḥ saṃkhyātā varimā pārhivāni yābhyāṃ rajo yupitam antarikṣe | yayoḥ prāyaṃ nānv ānaśe kaś cana tau no muñcatam aṃhasaḥ ||2||
Of whom are numbered the widths of the earth; by whom the welkin (rájas) is made fast (yup) in the atmosphere; whose progress no one soever has reached (anu-aç)—do ye free us from distress.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
तव व्रते नि विशन्ते जनासस् त्वय्य् उदिते प्रेरते चित्रभानो । युवं वायो सविता च भुवनानि रक्षथस् तौ नो मुञ्चतम् अंहसः ॥३॥
tava vrate ni viśante janāsas tvayy udite prerate citrabhāno | yuvaṃ vāyo savitā ca bhuvanāni rakṣathas tau no muñcatam aṃhasaḥ ||3||
In [conformity with] thy course (vratá) people (jána) go to rest; when thou art risen, they go forth, O thou of beauteous luster; ye, O Vāyu and Savitar, defend beings—do ye free us from distress.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
अपेतो वायो सविता च दुष्कृतम् अप रक्षांसि शिमिदां च सेधतम् । सं ह्य् ऊर्जया सृजथः सं बलेन तौ नो मुञ्चतम् अंहसः ॥४॥
apeto vāyo savitā ca duṣkṛtam apa rakṣāṃsi śimidāṃ ca sedhatam | saṃ hy ūrjayā sṛjathaḥ saṃ balena tau no muñcatam aṃhasaḥ ||4||
Away from here, O Vāyu and Savitar, drive (sidh) ye what is ill-done, away the demons and Çimidā; for ye unite (sam-sṛj) [men] with refreshment (ūrjā́), with strength—do ye free us from distress.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
रयिं मे पोषं सवितोत वायुस् तनू दक्षम् आ सुवतां सुशेवम् । अयक्ष्मतातिं मह इह धत्तं तौ नो मुञ्चतम् अंहसः ॥५॥
rayiṃ me poṣaṃ savitota vāyus tanū dakṣam ā suvatāṃ suśevam | ayakṣmatātiṃ maha iha dhattaṃ tau no muñcatam aṃhasaḥ ||5||
Let Savitar and Vāyu engender (ā-sū) in my body (tanū́) wealth, prosperity, very propitious dexterity; do ye put here freedom from yákṣma, greatness; do ye free us from distress.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
प्र सुमतिं सवितर् वाय ऊतये महस्वन्तं मत्सरं मादयाथः । अर्वाग् वामस्य प्रवतो नि यछतं तौ नो मुञ्चतम् अंहसः ॥६॥
pra sumatiṃ savitar vāya ūtaye mahasvantaṃ matsaraṃ mādayāthaḥ | arvāg vāmasya pravato ni yachataṃ tau no muñcatam aṃhasaḥ ||6||
O Savitar, Vāyu, [give] forth favor in order to aid; ye cause to revel in the intoxicating jovial [soma]; hitherward from the height (pravát) confirm ye of what is pleasant (vāmá); do ye free us from distress.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
उप श्रेष्ठा न आशिषो देवयोर् धामन्न् अस्थिरन् । स्तौमि देवं सवितारं च वायुं तौ नो मुञ्चन्त्व् अंहसः ॥७॥
upa śreṣṭhā na āśiṣo devayor dhāmann asthiran | staumi devaṃ savitāraṃ ca vāyuṃ tau no muñcantv aṃhasaḥ ||7||
The best blessings (āçís) have come unto us in the domain (dhā́man) of the two gods; I praise god Savitar and Vāyu: do ye free us from distress.
