1.30.1
víśve devā vásavo rákṣatemám utā́dityā́ jāgr̥tá yūyám asmín |
mémáṃ sánābhir utá vā́nyánābhir mémáṃ prā́pat páuruṣeyo vadhó yáḥ ||1||
O all ye gods, ye Vasus, protect this man; likewise ye Ādityas, watch ye over him; him let not one related (sánābhi) nor one unrelated—him let not any deadly weapon of men (pāúruṣeya) reach.
Ppp. has in b the false form jāgrata. The comm. paraphrases -nābhi in c by garbhāçaya. ⌊For the syntax, cf. Caland, KZ. xxxiv. 456.⌋
1.30.2
yé vo devāḥ pitáro yé ca putrā́ḥ sácetaso me śr̥ṇutedám uktám |
sárvebhyo vaḥ pári dadāmy etáṃ svasty ènaṃ jaráse vahātha ||2||
Whoso of you, O gods, are fathers and who sons, do ye, accordant (sácetas), hear this utterance of mine; to you all I commit this man; happily unto old age shall ye carry him.
1.30.3
yé devā diví ṣṭhá yé pr̥thivyā́ṃ yé antárikṣa óṣadhīṣu paśúṣv apsv àntáḥ |
té kr̥ṇuta jarásam ā́yur asmái śatám anyā́n pári vr̥ṇaktu mr̥tyū́n ||3||
Ye, O gods, that are in the heaven, that are on earth, that are in the atmosphere, in the herbs, in the cattle, within the waters—do ye make old age the length of life for this man; let him avoid the hundred other deaths.
1.30.4
yéṣāṃ prayājā́ utá vānuyājā́ hutábhāgā ahutā́daś ca devā́ḥ |
yéṣāṃ vaḥ páñca pradíśo víbhaktās tā́n vo asmái satrasádaḥ kr̥ṇomi ||4||
Whose are the fore-offerings and whose the after-offerings; the gods that share the oblation and that eat what is not made oblation of; you among whom the five directions are shared out—you do I make sitters at the session (sattrá-) of this man.
