Sukta 24
सूर्यश्चक्षुषामधिपतिः स मावतु । अस्मिन् ब्रह्मण्यस्मिन् कर्मण्यस्यां पुरोधायामस्यां प्रतिष्ठायामस्यां चित्त्यामस्यामाकूत्यामस्यामाशिष्यस्यां देवहूत्यां स्वाहा
sū́ryaś cákṣuṣām ádʰipatiḥ sá mā́vatu | asmín bráhmaṇy asmín kármaṇy asyā́m puródʰāyām asyā́m pratíṣṭʰāyām asyā́m cíttyām asyā́m ākū́tyām asyā́m āśíṣi asyā́m deváhūtyāṁ svā́hā
Sūrya, the Lord of sights, let him protect me: in this holy spell, in this rite; in this fore-placing, in this firm establishment; in this intent, in this purposed will; in this blessing, in this calling of the Gods—Svāhā!
सूर्य, जो दृष्टियों (चक्षुओं) के अधिपति हैं, वे मेरी रक्षा करें। इस ब्रह्म-मंत्र में, इस कर्म (अनुष्ठान) में; इस पुरोधा (अग्र-स्थापन) में, इस प्रतिष्ठा (दृढ़ स्थापना) में; इस चित्ति (अभिप्राय) में, इस आकूति (संकल्प) में; इस आशीष में, इस देवहूति (देव-आह्वान) में—स्वाहा।
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (specific attribution not provided in the extract).
