Mantra 1
Sukta 24
ब्रह्मकर्म सविता प्रसवानामधिपतिः स मावतु । अस्मिन् ब्रह्मण्यस्मिन् कर्मण्यस्यां पुरोधायामस्यां प्रतिष्ठायामस्यां चित्त्यामस्यामाकूत्यामस्यामाशिष्यस्यां देवहूत्यां स्वाहा
bráhma-karma savitā́ prasavā́nām ádhipatiḥ sá māvatu | asmín bráhmaṇy asmín kármaṇy asyā́ṃ purodhā́yām asyā́ṃ pratiṣṭhā́yām asyā́ṃ cittýām asyā́m ākū́tyām asyā́m āśíṣy asyā́ṃ devahū́tyāṃ svā́hā ||
Savitar, lord of impulsions, of the brahman-work—may he aid me: in this brahman, in this act; in this fore-setting, in this establishment; in this intent, in this purpose; in this blessing, in this god-invocation—svāhā.
ব্রহ্ম-কর্মের, প্রেরণাসমূহের অধিপতি সবিতা—তিনি আমাকে রক্ষা করুন। এই ব্রহ্মে, এই কর্মে; এই পুরোধায় (অগ্র-স্থাপনে), এই প্রতিষ্ঠায়; এই চিত্তিতে (নিশ্চয়ে), এই আকূতিতে (সংকল্পে); এই আশীষে, এই দেবহূতিতে (দেব-আহ্বানে)—স্বাহা।
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition
Devata: Savitar (as lord of prasava); brahman-work as sphere of action
