1.158.1
vasū̍ ru̱drā pu̍ru̱mantū̍ vṛ̱dhantā̍ daśa̱syata̍ṁ no vṛṣaṇāv a̱bhiṣṭau̍ |
dasrā̍ ha̱ yad rekṇa̍ auca̱thyo vā̱m pra yat sa̱srāthe̱ aka̍vābhir ū̱tī ||
YE Vasus Twain, ye Rudras full of counsel, grant us, Strong Strengtheners, when ye stand beside us, What wealth Aucathya craves of you, great Helpers when ye come forward with no niggard succour.
1.158.2
ko vā̍ṁ dāśat suma̱taye̍ cid a̱syai vasū̱ yad dhethe̱ nama̍sā pa̱de goḥ |
ji̱gṛ̱tam a̱sme re̱vatī̱ḥ pura̍ṁdhīḥ kāma̱preṇe̍va̱ mana̍sā̱ cara̍ntā ||
Who may give you aught, Vasus, for your favour, for what, at the Cow's place, ye grant through worship? Wake for us understanding full of riches, come with a heart that will fulfil our longing.
1.158.3
yu̱kto ha̱ yad vā̍ṁ tau̱gryāya̍ pe̱rur vi madhye̱ arṇa̍so̱ dhāyi̍ pa̱jraḥ |
upa̍ vā̱m ava̍ḥ śara̱ṇaṁ ga̍meya̱ṁ śūro̱ nājma̍ pa̱taya̍dbhi̱r evai̍ḥ ||
As erst for Tugra's son your car, sea-crossing, strong, was equipped and set amid the waters, So may I gain your shelter and protection as with winged course a hero seeks his army.
1.158.4
upa̍stutir auca̱thyam u̍ruṣye̱n mā mām i̱me pa̍ta̱triṇī̱ vi du̍gdhām |
mā mām edho̱ daśa̍tayaś ci̱to dhā̱k pra yad vā̍m ba̱ddhas tmani̱ khāda̍ti̱ kṣām ||
May this my praise preserve Ucathya's offispring: let not these Twain who fly with wings exhaust me. Let not the wood ten times up-piled consume me, when fixed for you it bites the ground it stands on.
1.158.5
na mā̍ garan na̱dyo̍ mā̱tṛta̍mā dā̱sā yad ī̱ṁ susa̍mubdham a̱vādhu̍ḥ |
śiro̱ yad a̍sya traita̱no vi̱takṣa̍t sva̱yaṁ dā̱sa uro̱ aṁsā̱v api̍ gdha ||
The most maternal streams, wherein the Dilsas cast me securely bound, have not devoured me. When Traitana would cleave my head asunder, the Dâsa wounded his own breast and shoulders.
1.158.6
dī̱rghata̍mā māmate̱yo ju̍ju̱rvān da̍śa̱me yu̱ge |
a̱pām artha̍ṁ ya̱tīnā̍m bra̱hmā bha̍vati̱ sāra̍thiḥ ||
Dîrghatamas the son of Mamatâ hath come to length of days in the tenth age of human kind. He is the Brahman of the waters as they strive to reach their end and aim: their charioteer is he.
