Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 1.42

सम् पूषन्न् अध्वनस् तिर व्य् अंहो विमुचो नपात् । सक्ष्वा देव प्र णस् पुरः ॥

sam pūṣann adhvanas tira vy aṃho vimuco napāt | sakṣvā deva pra ṇas puraḥ ||

Shorten our ways, O Pusan, move aside obstruction in the path: Go close before us, cloud-born God.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

यो नः पूषन्न् अघो वृको दुःशेव आदिदेशति । अप स्म तम् पथो जहि ॥

yo naḥ pūṣann agho vṛko duḥśeva ādideśati | apa sma tam patho jahi ||

Drive, Pusan, from our road the wolf, the wicked inauspicious wolf, Who lies in wait to injure us.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अप त्यम् परिपन्थिनम् मुषीवाणं हुरश्चितम् । दूरम् अधि स्रुतेर् अज ॥

apa tyam paripanthinam muṣīvāṇaṃ huraścitam | dūram adhi sruter aja ||

Who lurks about the path we take, the robber with a guileful heart: Far from the road chase him away.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

त्वं तस्य द्वयाविनो ऽघशंसस्य कस्य चित् । पदाभि तिष्ठ तपुषिम् ॥

tvaṃ tasya dvayāvino 'ghaśaṃsasya kasya cit | padābhi tiṣṭha tapuṣim ||

Tread with thy foot and trample out the firebrand of the wicked one, The double-tongued, whoe'er he be.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

आ तत् ते दस्र मन्तुमः पूषन्न् अवो वृणीमहे । येन पितॄन् अचोदयः ॥

ā tat te dasra mantumaḥ pūṣann avo vṛṇīmahe | yena pitṝn acodayaḥ ||

Wise Pusan, Wonder-Worker, we claim of thee now the aid wherewith Thou furtheredst our sires of old.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अधा नो विश्वसौभग हिरण्यवाशीमत्तम । धनानि सुषणा कृधि ॥

adhā no viśvasaubhaga hiraṇyavāśīmattama | dhanāni suṣaṇā kṛdhi ||

So, Lord of all prosperity, best wielder of the golden sword, Make riches easy to be won.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अति नः सश्चतो नय सुगा नः सुपथा कृणु । पूषन्न् इह क्रतुं विदः ॥

ati naḥ saścato naya sugā naḥ supathā kṛṇu | pūṣann iha kratuṃ vidaḥ ||

Past all pursuers lead us, make pleasant our path and fair to tread: O Pusan, find thou power for this.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अभि सूयवसं नय न नवज्वारो अध्वने । पूषन्न् इह क्रतुं विदः ॥

abhi sūyavasaṃ naya na navajvāro adhvane | pūṣann iha kratuṃ vidaḥ ||

Lead us to meadows rich in grass: send on our way no early heat: O Pusan, find thou power for this.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

शग्धि पूर्धि प्र यंसि च शिशीहि प्रास्य् उदरम् । पूषन्न् इह क्रतुं विदः ॥

śagdhi pūrdhi pra yaṃsi ca śiśīhi prāsy udaram | pūṣann iha kratuṃ vidaḥ ||

Be gracious to us, fill us full, give, feed us, and invigorate: O Pusan, find thou power for this.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

न पूषणम् मेथामसि सूक्तैर् अभि गृणीमसि । वसूनि दस्मम् ईमहे ॥

na pūṣaṇam methāmasi sūktair abhi gṛṇīmasi | vasūni dasmam īmahe ||

No blame have we for Pusan; him we magnify with songs of praise: We seek the Mighty One for wealth.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
