7.81.1
pūrvāparáṃ carato mayáyaitáu śíśū krī́ḍantau pári yāto 'rṇavám |
víśvānyó bhúvanā vicáṣṭa r̥tū́m̐r anyó vidádhaj jāyase návaḥ ||1||
These two move on one after the other by magic (māyā́); two playing young ones (çíçu), they go about the sea; the one looks abroad upon all beings; thou, the other, disposing the seasons art born new.
7.81.2
návonavo bhavasi jā́yamānó 'hnāṃ ketúr uṣásām eṣy ágram |
bhāgáṃ devébhyo ví dadhāsy āyán prá candramas tirase dhīrghám ā́yuḥ ||2||
Ever new art thou, being born; sign (ketú) of the days, thou goest to the apex (ágra) of the dawns; thou disposest their share to the gods as thou comest; thou stretchest out, O moon, a long life-time.
7.81.3
sómasyāmśo yudhāṃ paté 'nūno nā́ma vā́ asi |
ánūnam darśa mā kr̥dhi prajáyā ca dhánena ca ||3||
O stem of soma, lord of fighters! not-deficient verily art thou by name; make me, O first-sight (darçá), not-deficient, both by progeny and by riches.
7.81.4
darśó 'si darśató 'si sámagro 'si sámantaḥ |
sámagraḥ sámanto bhūyāsaṃ góbhir áśvaiḥ prajáyā paśúbhir gr̥háir dhánena ||4||
First sight art thou, worth seeing art thou; complete at point art thou, complete at end; complete at point, complete at end may I be, by kine, by horses, by progeny, by cattle, by houses, by riches.
7.81.5
yò 'smā́n dvéṣṭi yáṃ vayáṃ dviṣmás tásya tváṃ prāṇénā́ pyāyasva |
ā́ vayáṃ pyāsiṣīmahi góbhir áśvaiḥ prajáyā paśúbhir gr̥háir dhánena ||5||
He who hateth us, whom we hate—with his breath do thou fill thyself up; may we fill ourselves up with kine, with horses, with progeny, with cattle, with houses, with riches.
7.81.6
yáṃ devā́ aṃśúm āpyāyáyanti yám ákṣitam ákṣitā bhakṣáyanti |
ténāsmā́n índro váruṇo bŕ̥haspátir ā́ pyāyayantu bhúvanasya gopā́ḥ ||6||
The stem which the gods fill up, which, unexhausted, they feed upon unexhausted—therewith let Indra, Varuṇa, Brihaspati, shepherds of existence, fill us up.
