Sukta 32

Mantra 1

अस्य मे द्यावापृथिवी ऋतायतो भूतमवित्री वचसः सिषासतः । ययोरायुः प्रतरं ते इदं पुर उपस्तुते वसूयुर्वां महो दधे ॥

For this my utterance, may Heaven and Earth—moving in the way of ṛta—become protectors, desiring to strengthen the word. Of whom the life is the more forward, before them I place this act of praise; seeking the plenitudes, I found in you a great wideness.

Mantra 2

मा नो गुह्या रिप आयोरहन्दभन्मा न आभ्यो रीरधो दुच्छुनाभ्यः । मा नो वि यौः सख्या विद्धि तस्य नः सुम्नायता मनसा तत्त्वेमहे ॥

Let not hidden hostile powers strike down our forward life; let not harms from near or far afflict us. Let not our friendship with you be broken; knowing this, with a mind that seeks grace, we pray to you for that truth of your protection.

Mantra 3

अहेळता मनसा श्रुष्टिमा वह दुहानां धेनुं पिप्युषीमसश्चतम् । पद्याभिराशुं वचसा च वाजिनं त्वां हिनोमि पुरुहूत विश्वहा ॥

With a mind that bears no ill-will, bring here the ready obedience—like a milking cow, swelling with her flow, that does not fail. With steps swift and with speech that drives, I urge you, O much-invoked, at all times, to become the victorious force within us.

Mantra 4

राकामहं सुहवां सुष्टुती हुवे शृणोतु नः सुभगा बोधतु त्मना । सीव्यत्वपः सूच्याच्छिद्यमानया ददातु वीरं शतदायमुक्थ्यम् ॥

I call Rākā with a beautiful invocation and a right praise. May the gracious Power hear us; may she awaken in her own self-awareness. May she stitch the streams together with an unbreaking needle, and grant us the heroic force—rich in a hundred gifts—fit for the uttered hymn.

Mantra 5

यास्ते राके सुमतयः सुपेशसो याभिर्ददासि दाशुषे वसूनि । ताभिर्नो अद्य सुमना उपागहि सहस्रपोषं सुभगे रराणा ॥

O Rākā, with those bright and well-shaped thoughts of yours by which you give riches to the giver, come to us today in a happy mind—rejoicing—bringing a thousandfold increase of plenitude.

Mantra 6

सिनीवालि पृथुष्टुके या देवानामसि स्वसा । जुषस्व हव्यमाहुतं प्रजां देवि दिदिड्ढि नः ॥

O Sinīvālī of wide praise, sister of the gods, accept the offering that is cast into the fire; O Goddess, set in us the power of progeny—create and establish it for us.

Mantra 7

या सुबाहुः स्वङ्गुरिः सुषूमा बहुसूवरी । तस्यै विश्पत्न्यै हविः सिनीवाल्यै जुहोतन ॥

She who has beautiful arms, fine fingers, a good yielding power, rich in many births of light—offer the oblation to that Lady of the people, to Sinīvālī.

Mantra 8

या गुङ्गूर्या सिनीवाली या राका या सरस्वती । इन्द्राणीमह्व ऊतये वरुणानीं स्वस्तये ॥

Whether she is Guṅgū, or Sinīvālī, or Rākā, or Sarasvatī—Indrāṇī I call for help, and Varuṇānī for a wide well-being.
