Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·10·10.164
अपेहि मनसस् पते ऽप क्राम परश् चर । परो निरृत्या आ चक्ष्व बहुधा जीवतो मनः ॥
apehi manasas pate 'pa krāma paraś cara | paro nirṛtyā ā cakṣva bahudhā jīvato manaḥ ||
Avaunt, thou Master of the mind Depart, and vanish far away. Look on Destruction far from hence. The live man's mind is manifold.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
भद्रं वै वरं वृणते भद्रं युञ्जन्ति दक्षिणम् । भद्रं वैवस्वते चक्षुर् बहुत्रा जीवतो मनः ॥
bhadraṃ vai varaṃ vṛṇate bhadraṃ yuñjanti dakṣiṇam | bhadraṃ vaivasvate cakṣur bahutrā jīvato manaḥ ||
A happy boon do men elect, a mighty blessing they obtain. Bliss with Vaivasvata they see. The live man's mind seeks many a place.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यद् आशसा निःशसाभिशसोपारिम जाग्रतो यत् स्वपन्तः । अग्निर् विश्वान्य् अप दुष्कृतान्य् अजुष्टान्य् आरे अस्मद् दधातु ॥
yad āśasā niḥśasābhiśasopārima jāgrato yat svapantaḥ | agnir viśvāny apa duṣkṛtāny ajuṣṭāny āre asmad dadhātu ||
If by address, by blame, by imprecation we have committed sin, awake or sleeping, All hateful acts of ours, all evil doings may Agni bear away to distant places.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
यद् इन्द्र ब्रह्मणस् पते ऽभिद्रोहं चरामसि । प्रचेता न आङ्गिरसो द्विषताम् पात्व् अंहसः ॥
yad indra brahmaṇas pate 'bhidrohaṃ carāmasi | pracetā na āṅgiraso dviṣatām pātv aṃhasaḥ ||
When, Indra, Brahmanaspati, our deeds are wrongful and unjust, May provident Angirasa prevent our foes from troubling, us.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
अजैष्माद्यासनाम चाभूमानागसो वयम् । जाग्रत्स्वप्नः संकल्पः पापो यं द्विष्मस् तं स ऋच्छतु यो नो द्वेष्टि तम् ऋच्छतु ॥
ajaiṣmādyāsanāma cābhūmānāgaso vayam | jāgratsvapnaḥ saṃkalpaḥ pāpo yaṃ dviṣmas taṃ sa ṛcchatu yo no dveṣṭi tam ṛcchatu ||
We have prevailed this day and won: we are made free from sin and guilt. Ill thoughts, that visit us awake or sleeping, seize the man we hate, yea, seize the man who hateth us.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
