Mantra 15
Sukta 24
पितरः परे ते मावन्तु । अस्मिन् ब्रह्मण्यस्मिन् कर्मण्यस्यां पुरोधायामस्यां प्रतिष्ठायामस्यां चित्त्यामस्यामाकूत्यामस्यामाशिष्यस्यां देवहूत्यां स्वाहा
pitáraḥ páre té mā́vantu | asmín bráhmaṇy asmín kármaṇy asyā́m purodhā́yām asyā́m pratiṣṭhā́yām asyā́m cittíyām asyā́m ākū́tyām asyā́m āśíṣy asyā́m devahū́tyāṃ svā́hā
May the Fathers of old, the departed, protect me: in this sacred spell, in this operation; in this fore-setting, in this establishment; in this intent, in this resolve; in this benediction, in this god-invocation—Svāhā!
প্রাচীন, পরলোকগত পিতৃগণ—তাঁরা আমাকে রক্ষা করুন। এই ব্রহ্মে (পবিত্র মন্ত্রে), এই কর্মে (অনুষ্ঠান-ক্রিয়ায়); এই পুরোধায়ায় (পূর্ব-স্থাপনে), এই প্রতিষ্ঠায়; এই চিত্ত্যায় (অভিপ্রায়ে), এই আকূতিতে (সংকল্পে); এই আশিষে (আশীর্বাদে), এই দেবহূতিতে (দেব-আহ্বানে)—স্বাহা।
