Sukta 34
ये ब॒ध्यमा॑न॒मनु॒ दीध्या॑ना अ॒न्वैक्ष॑न्त॒ मन॑सा॒ चक्षु॑षा च । अ॒ग्निष्टानग्रे॒ प्र मु॑मोक्तु दे॒वो वि॒श्वक॑र्मा प्र॒जया॑ संररा॒णः
yé baddhyámānam ánu dī́dhyānā anváikṣanta mánasā cákṣuṣā ca | agníṣ ṭā́n ágre prá mumoktu devó viśvákarmā prajáyā saṃrarāṇáḥ ||
They who, intent in thought, pursued the man in bonds, watching him with mind and with the eye,—may Agni, the God, first of all unloose those; and may Viśvakarman, guarding him, (save him) with progeny.
যাঁরা বন্ধনে আবদ্ধ মানুষটির পিছু নিয়েছিল, চিন্তায় দীপ্ত হয়ে, মন ও চোখ দিয়ে তাকে লক্ষ্য করে অনুসরণ করেছিল—সেই বন্ধনগুলি সর্বপ্রথম দেব অগ্নি খুলে দিন; আর প্রজার রক্ষক বিশ্বকর্মা তাকে সন্ততি-সহ রক্ষা করুন।
