Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·7·7.54
वास्तोष् पते प्रति जानीह्य् अस्मान् स्वावेशो अनमीवो भवा नः । यत् त्वेमहे प्रति तन् नो जुषस्व शं नो भव द्विपदे शं चतुष्पदे ॥
vāstoṣ pate prati jānīhy asmān svāveśo anamīvo bhavā naḥ | yat tvemahe prati tan no juṣasva śaṃ no bhava dvipade śaṃ catuṣpade ||
Acknowledge us, O Guardian of the Homestead: bring no disease, and give us happy entrance. Whate'er we ask of thee, be pleased to grant it, and prosper thou quadrupeds and bipeds.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वास्तोष् पते प्रतरणो न एधि गयस्फानो गोभिर् अश्वेभिर् इन्दो । अजरासस् ते सख्ये स्याम पितेव पुत्रान् प्रति नो जुषस्व ॥
vāstoṣ pate prataraṇo na edhi gayasphāno gobhir aśvebhir indo | ajarāsas te sakhye syāma piteva putrān prati no juṣasva ||
Protector of the Home, be our promoter: increase our wealth in kine and steeds, O Indu. May we be ever-youthful in thy friendship: be pleased in us as in his sons a father.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
वास्तोष् पते शग्मया संसदा ते सक्षीमहि रण्वया गातुमत्या । पाहि क्षेम उत योगे वरं नो यूयम् पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥
vāstoṣ pate śagmayā saṃsadā te sakṣīmahi raṇvayā gātumatyā | pāhi kṣema uta yoge varaṃ no yūyam pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||
Through thy dear fellowship that bringeth welfare, may we be victors, Guardian of the Dwelling! Protect our happiness in rest and labour. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
