Mantra 13

Sukta 5

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

अजो ह्य१ग्नेरजनिष्ट शोकाद् विप्रो विप्रस्य सहसो विपश्चित्। इष्टं पूर्तमभिपूर्तं वषट्कृतं तद् देवा ऋतुशः कल्पयन्तु

IAST Transliteration

ajó hí agnér ajanīṣṭa śókād vípro víprasya sáhaso vipaścít | iṣṭáṃ pūrtám abhipū́rtaṃ váṣaṭ-kṛtaṃ tád devā́ ṛtuśáḥ kalpayantu ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

For from Agni’s burning grief the Goat was born—wise, inspired, of the inspired one’s might, discerning. The sacrifice and the pious work, the over-filled pious work, made with the Vaṣaṭ—may the Gods, in season and in order, set that in due effect.

Translation

Pues del ardiente pesar de Agni nació el Macho Cabro —sabio, inspirado, de la fuerza del inspirado, perspicaz. El sacrificio (iṣṭa) y la obra piadosa (pūrta), y la obra piadosa colmada en exceso (abhipūrta), realizados con la aclamación «vaṣaṭ»— que los Dioses, a su debido tiempo y en el debido orden, lo dispongan y lo hagan eficaz.
