RV 5.46.1

हयो न विद्वां अयुजि स्वयं धुरि तां वहामि प्रतरणीम् अवस्युवम् । नास्या वश्मि विमुचं नावृतम् पुनर् विद्वान् पथः पुरएत ऋजु नेषति ॥

hayo na vidvāṃ ayuji svayaṃ dhuri tāṃ vahāmi prataraṇīm avasyuvam | nāsyā vaśmi vimucaṃ nāvṛtam punar vidvān pathaḥ puraeta ṛju neṣati ||

Well knowing I have bound me, horselike, to the pole: I carry that which bears as on and gives us help. I seek for no release, no turning back therefrom. May he who knows the way, the Leader, guide me straight.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

RV 5.46.4

उत नो विष्णुर् उत वातो अस्रिधो द्रविणोदा उत सोमो मयस् करत् । उत ऋभव उत राये नो अश्विनोत त्वष्टोत विभ्वानु मंसते ॥

uta no viṣṇur uta vāto asridho draviṇodā uta somo mayas karat | uta ṛbhava uta rāye no aśvinota tvaṣṭota vibhvānu maṃsate ||

May Visnu also and Vata who injures none, and Soma granter of possessions give us joy; And may the Rbhus and the Asvins, Tvastar and Vibhvan remember us so that we may have wealth.

उत त्यन् नो मारुतं शर्ध आ गमद् दिविक्षयं यजतम् बर्हिर् आसदे । बृहस्पतिः शर्म पूषोत नो यमद् वरूथ्यं वरुणो मित्रो अर्यमा ॥

uta tyan no mārutaṃ śardha ā gamad divikṣayaṃ yajatam barhir āsade | bṛhaspatiḥ śarma pūṣota no yamad varūthyaṃ varuṇo mitro aryamā ||

uta tye naḥ parvatāsaḥ suśastayaḥ sudītayo nadyas trāmaṇe bhuvan | bhago vibhaktā śavasāvasā gamad uruvyacā aditiḥ śrotu me havam ||

And may the Mountains famed in noble eulogies, and the fair-gleaming Rivers keep us safe from harm. May Bhaga the Dispenser come with power and grace, and far-pervading Aditi listen to my call.

देवानाम् पत्नीर् उशतीर् अवन्तु नः प्रावन्तु नस् तुजये वाजसातये । याः पार्थिवासो या अपाम् अपि व्रते ता नो देवीः सुहवाः शर्म यच्छत ॥

devānām patnīr uśatīr avantu naḥ prāvantu nas tujaye vājasātaye | yāḥ pārthivāso yā apām api vrate tā no devīḥ suhavāḥ śarma yacchata ||

May the Gods' Spouses aid us of their own freewill, aid us to offspring and the winning of the spoil. Grant us protection, O ye gracious Goddesses, ye who are on the earth or in the waters' realm.
