Sukta 25

Mantra 1

पापमोचनम्। वायोः सवितुर्विदथानि मन्महे यावात्मन्वद् विशथो यौ च रक्षथः । यौ विश्वस्य परिभू बभूवथुस्तौ नो मुञ्चतमंहसः

For release from evil: We ponder the ordinances of Vāyu and of Savitar—ye twain who, full of vital power, enter in, and who also guard; ye who have become the encompassing lords of all—do ye release us from distress and sin.

Mantra 2

ययोः संख्याता वरिमा पार्थिवानि याभ्यां रजो युपितमन्तरिक्षे । ययोः प्रायं नान्वानशे कश्चन तौ नो मुञ्चतमंहसः

They of whom the earthly expanses are measured out; by whom the airy region is, in mid-heaven, as it were propped fast; of whom no onset whatsoever attains—do ye release us from distress and sin.

Mantra 3

तव व्रते नि विशन्ते जनासस्त्वय्युदिते प्रेरते चित्रभानो । युवं वायो सविता च भुवनानि रक्षथस्तौ नो मुञ्चतमंहसः

Into thy ordinance the peoples enter; when thou art risen, O Bright-flamed, they are impelled to action. Ye twain, O Vāyu and Savitar, guard the worlds: do ye release us from distress.

Mantra 4

अपेतो वायो सविता च दुष्कृतमप रक्षांसि शिमिदां च सेधतम्। सं ह्यू३र्जया सृजथः सं बलेन तौ नो मुञ्चतमंहसः

Driven off be the ill-wrought evil, O Vāyu and Savitar; drive ye away the Rākṣases and the Śimidā brood, and bar them. For ye send forth, in full, with vigor, in full with power: do ye release us from distress.

Mantra 5

रयिं मे पोषं सवितोत वायुस्तनू दक्षमा सुवतां सुशेवम्। अयक्ष्मतातिं मह इह धत्तं तौ नो मुञ्चतमंहसः

Wealth for me, and thriving, let Savitar—and Vāyu also—impel; let them bring to the body kindly strength and competence. Set ye here great freedom from wasting-disease: do ye release us from distress.

Mantra 6

प्र सुमतिं सवितर्वाय ऊतये महस्वन्तं मत्सरं मादयाथः । अर्वाग् वामस्य प्रवतो नि यच्छतं तौ नो मुञ्चतमंहसः

Forth for our aid, O Savitar and Vāyu, do ye quicken good favor, rich in greatness; make ardor to exult. Hither, from the streaming course of your boon, do ye guide it down and hold it fast: do ye release us from distress.

Mantra 7

उप श्रेष्ठा न आशिषो देवयोर्धामन्नस्थिरन्। स्तौमि देवं सवितारं च वायुं तौ नो मुञ्चतमंहसः

Near to us have stood the best benedictions, in the seat of the two gods. I praise the god Savitar and Vāyu: do ye release us from distress.
