2.35.1
yé bhakṣáyanto ná vásūny ānr̥dhúr yā́n agnáyo anvátapyanta dhíṣṇyāḥ |
yā́ téṣām avayā́ dúriṣṭiḥ svìṣṭiṃ nas tā́ṃ kr̥ṇavad viśvákarmā ||1||
They who, partaking [of soma] (bhakṣ), did not prosper (ṛdh) in good things, whom the fires of the sacrificial hearth were distressed about (anu-tapya-)—what was the expiation (avayá) of their ill-sacrifice, may Viçvakarman ('the all-worker') make that for us a good sacrifice.
2.35.2
yajñápatim ŕ̥ṣayaḥ énasāhur nírbhaktaṃ prajā́ anutapyámānam |
mathavyā̀nt stokā́n ápa yā́n rarā́dha sáṃ naṣ ṭébhiḥ sr̥jatu viśvákarmā ||2||
The seers declare the master (-páti) of the sacrifice by reason of sin disportioned, distressed about [his] offspring. What honeyed drops he offended in (? apa-rādh), with them let Viçvakarman unite (sam-sṛj) us.
2.35.3
adānyā́nt somapā́n mányamāno yajñásya vidvā́nt samayé ná dhī́raḥ |
yád énaś cakr̥vā́n baddhá eṣá táṃ viśvakarman prá muñcā svastáye ||3||
Thinking the soma-drinkers to be unworthy of gifts (? adānyá), [though] knowing of the sacrifice, [he is] not wise (dhī́ra) in the conjuncture (samayá); in that this man is bound having committed a sin, do thou, O Viçvakarman, release him for his well-being.
2.35.4
ghorā́ ŕ̥ṣayo námo astv ebhyaś cákṣur yád eṣāṃ mánasaś ca satyám |
bŕ̥haspátaye mahiṣa dyumánn námo víśvakarman námas te pāhy àsmā́n ||4||
Terrible [are] the seers; homage be to them! what sight [is] theirs, and the actuality (satyá) of their mind. For Brihaspati, O bull (mahiṣá), [be] bright (dyumánt) homage; O Viçvakarman, homage to thee! protect thou us.
2.35.5
yajñásya cákṣuḥ prábhr̥tir múkhaṃ ca vācā́ śrótreṇa mánasā juhomi |
imáṃ yajñáṃ vítataṃ viśvákarmaṇā́ devā́ yantu sumanasyámānāḥ ||5||
The sacrifice's eye, commencement, and face: with voice, hearing, mind I make oblation. To this sacrifice, extended by Viçvakarman, let the gods come, well-willing.
