Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·10·10.158
सूर्यो नो दिवस् पातु वातो अन्तरिक्षात् । अग्निर् नः पार्थिवेभ्यः ॥
sūryo no divas pātu vāto antarikṣāt | agnir naḥ pārthivebhyaḥ ||
May Surya guard us out of heaven, and Vata from the firmament, And Agni from terrestrial spots.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
जोषा सवितर् यस्य ते हरः शतं सवां अर्हति । पाहि नो दिद्युतः पतन्त्याः ॥
joṣā savitar yasya te haraḥ śataṃ savāṃ arhati | pāhi no didyutaḥ patantyāḥ ||
Thou Savitar whose flame deserves hundred libations, be thou pleased: From failing lightning keep us safe.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
चक्षुर् नो देवः सविता चक्षुर् न उत पर्वतः । चक्षुर् धाता दधातु नः ॥
cakṣur no devaḥ savitā cakṣur na uta parvataḥ | cakṣur dhātā dadhātu naḥ ||
May Savitar the God, and may Parvata also give us sight; May the Creator give us sight.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
चक्षुर् नो धेहि चक्षुषे चक्षुर् विख्यै तनूभ्यः । सं चेदं वि च पश्येम ॥
cakṣur no dhehi cakṣuṣe cakṣur vikhyai tanūbhyaḥ | saṃ cedaṃ vi ca paśyema ||
Give sight unto our eye, give thou our bodies sight that they may see: May we survey, discern this world.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सुसंदृशं त्वा वयम् प्रति पश्येम सूर्य । वि पश्येम नृचक्षसः ॥
susaṃdṛśaṃ tvā vayam prati paśyema sūrya | vi paśyema nṛcakṣasaḥ ||
Thus, Surya, may we look on thee, on thee most lovely to behold, See clearly with the eyes of men.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
