Sukta 82

Mantra 1

तत्सवितुर्वृणीमहे वयं देवस्य भोजनम् । श्रेष्ठं सर्वधातमं तुरं भगस्य धीमहि ॥

That we choose of Savitṛ for ourselves—the god’s nourishing enjoyment: the best, the all-sustaining, the swift and puissant plenitude of Bhaga; on that we set our thought.

Mantra 2

अस्य हि स्वयशस्तरं सवितुः कच्चन प्रियम् । न मिनन्ति स्वराज्यम् ॥

For of Savitṛ, the self-glorious, whatever is dear—none diminish it; his self-rule, his sovereign inner kingdom, suffers no violation.

Mantra 4

अद्या नो देव सवितः प्रजावत्सावीः सौभगम् । परा दुष्ष्वप्न्यं सुव ॥

Today, O god Savitṛ, impel for us a felicity rich in progeny and growth; drive far away the evil dream that clouds the inner seeing.

Mantra 5

विश्वानि देव सवितर्दुरितानि परा सुव । यद्भद्रं तन्न आ सुव ॥

All mis-movements and wrong turnings, O god Savitṛ, impel away from us; and whatever is the good, that do thou impel into us and establish.

Mantra 8

य इमे उभे अहनी पुर एत्यप्रयुच्छन् । स्वाधीर्देवः सविता ॥

He who goes before these two Days, unwearied and unbroken in his advance—Savitṛ the god, of self-lawed intelligence.

Mantra 9

य इमा विश्वा जातान्याश्रावयति श्लोकेन । प्र च सुवाति सविता ॥

He who makes all these births and becomings heard by the inspired word, and who impels them forward into manifestation—Savitṛ.
