Sukta 141

Mantra 1

अग्ने अच्छा वदेह नः प्रत्यङ्नः सुमना भव । प्र नो यच्छ विशस्पते धनदा असि नस्त्वम् ॥

Agni, speak towards us here; turn to us and become gracious in thy mind. Grant forward to us, O lord of the peoples; thou art our giver of the true riches of being.

Mantra 2

प्र नो यच्छत्वर्यमा प्र भगः प्र बृहस्पतिः । प्र देवाः प्रोत सूनृता रायो देवी ददातु नः ॥

May Aryaman forward for us the right leading; may Bhaga press forward the delight of our portion; may Bṛhaspati bring forward the vast inspired Word. May the Gods advance (our becoming); and may the Goddess Sūnṛtā—true and luminous speech—grant us the plenitude of inner riches (rāyas).

Mantra 3

सोमं राजानमवसेऽग्निं गीर्भिर्हवामहे । आदित्यान्विष्णुं सूर्यं ब्रह्माणं च बृहस्पतिम् ॥

For our help we call Soma the King and Agni with our illumined utterances; we call the Ādityas, Vishnu, Surya, and Brahmāṇa, and Bṛhaspati—powers that widen, uphold, and reveal the truth-consciousness within us.

Mantra 4

इन्द्रवायू बृहस्पतिं सुहवेह हवामहे । यथा नः सर्व इज्जनः संगत्यां सुमना असत् ॥

Indra-and-Vāyu and Bṛhaspati—easy to call—we invoke here, so that in our coming together all our people may become of one good mind and consenting will.

Mantra 5

अर्यमणं बृहस्पतिमिन्द्रं दानाय चोदय । वातं विष्णुं सरस्वतीं सवितारं च वाजिनम् ॥

Urge Aryaman, Bṛhaspati, and Indra toward the giving; urge Vāta, Vishnu, Sarasvatī, and Savitṛ the Vājin—so that the powers of order, word, force, breath, wideness, inspired stream, and luminous impulsion may pour their gifts into our becoming.

Mantra 6

त्वं नो अग्ने अग्निभिर्ब्रह्म यज्ञं च वर्धय । त्वं नो देवतातये रायो दानाय चोदय ॥

O Agni, increase for us—by thy flames—the brahman (the inspired seeing-word) and the yajña (the inner offering). And do thou impel us toward the state of the gods, and toward the giving of the plenitude of riches (rāyas).
