Sukta 116

Mantra 1

मधुमदन्नम्। यद् यामं चक्रुर्निखनन्तो अग्रे कार्षीवणा अन्नविदो न विद्यया । वैवस्वते राजनि तज्जुहोम्यथ यज्ञियं मधुमदस्तु नोऽन्नम्

Honey-sweet be food. What course the ploughmen wrought of old, burying it in front—men who knew food, not by learning—this I offer unto King Vaivasvata; so let our food be sacrificial, honey-sweet.

Mantra 2

वैवस्वतः कृणवद् भागधेयं मधुभागो मधुना सं सृजाति । मातुर्यदेन इषितं न आगन् यद् वा पितापराद्धो जिहीडे

May Vaivasvata appoint our portion; sweet-shared, with sweetness may he set it all in order—whatever guilt from mother, sent forth, hath come upon us, or what the father, offending, hath wrought to our hurt.

Mantra 3

यदीदं मातुर्यदि पितुर्नः परि भ्रातुः पुत्राच्चेतस एन आगन्। यावन्तो अस्मान् पितरः सचन्ते तेषां सर्वेषां शिवो अस्तु मन्युः

If this—whether from mother, whether from father—hath come upon us; if from a brother, from a son, from purpose of the mind, guilt hath come: as many Fathers as cleave unto us, of them all may the wrath be kindly, auspicious.
