Sukta 79

Mantra 1

अमावास्या। यत् ते देवा अकृण्वन् भागधेयममावास्ये संवसन्तो महित्वा। तेना नो यज्ञं पिपृहि विश्ववारे रयिं नो धेहि सुभगे सुवीरम्

New-moon. What share the Gods established for thee at new-moon, abiding together in thy majesty—therewith make full our sacrifice, O all-boon-giving; set for us wealth, O fortunate one, rich in goodly sons and men.

Mantra 2

अहमेवास्म्यमावास्या३ मामा वसन्ति सुकृतो मयीमे। मयि देवा उभये साध्याश्चेन्द्रज्येष्ठाः समगच्छन्त सर्वे

I, even I, am New-moon: unto me the well-doers come to dwell—these here within me. In me the Gods, both kinds, the Sādhyas, and all the Indra-headed, assemble together.

Mantra 3

आगन् रात्री संगमनी वसूनामूर्जं पुष्टं वस्वावेशयन्ती । अमावास्याऽयै हविषा विधेमोर्जं दुहाना पयसा न आगन्

Night hath come, the gatherer of treasures, bringing wealth, infusing thriving strength. To New-Moon with oblation would we do worship: milking forth nourishment with milk, let her come unto us.

Mantra 4

अमावास्ये न त्वदेतान्यन्यो विश्वा रूपाणि परिभूर्जजान । यत् कामास्ते जुहुमस्तन्नो अस्तु वयं स्याम पतयो रयिणाम्

O New-Moon, none other than thou, the all-surpassing, hath begotten all these forms. What desires to thee we offer, let that be ours: may we become the lords of riches.
