Sukta 73
इ॒हैव स्त॒ माप॑ या॒ताध्य॒स्मत् पू॒षा प॒रस्ता॒दप॑थं वः कृणोतु । वास्तो॒ष्पति॒रनु॑ वो जोहवीतु॒ मयि॑ सजाता र॒मति॑र्वो अस्तु
iháiva stā́ mā́pa yā́tādhy asmát | pūṣā́ parástād áp-patham vaḥ kṛṇotu | vā́stoṣpátir ánu vo johavītu | máyi sa-jātā rámatir vo astu ||
Here verily stand ye; go not away from us. Let Pūṣan from beyond make for you the by-path, the path of error, far off; let Vāstoṣpati, attendant, keep calling you back. In me, O clansmen, let your delight and concord be.
Hier eben steht; geht nicht fort von uns. Möge Pūṣan von jenseits für euch den Irrweg, den Pfad des Fehltritts, weit abseits bereiten; möge Vāstoṣpati, der Herr der Wohnstatt, euch immer wieder zurückrufen. In mir, o Sippenverwandte, sei eure Freude und Eintracht.
