Mantra 2

Sukta 119

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

वैश्वानराय प्रति वेदयामि यद्यृणं संगरो देवतासु । स एतान् पाशान् विचृतं वेद सर्वानथ पक्वेन सह सं भवेम

IAST Transliteration

vaiśvānaráya práti vedayāmi yád ṛṇáṃ saṃgáre devátāsu | sá etā́n pā́śān vicṛtáṃ véda sárvān átha pakvéna sahá sáṃ bhavema ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Unto Vaiśvānara I make declaration, of the debt (that stands) in contest among the Gods. He knoweth all these nooses, disentangled in their whole extent; then, with the ripened issue, may we come together in completeness.

Translation

Vaiśvānara verkünde ich die Schuld, die als Streit unter den Göttern steht. Er kennt all diese Schlingen, in ihrer ganzen Weite entwirrt; dann mögen wir, mit der gereiften Frucht, in voller Ganzheit zusammenkommen.
