Sukta 41
Sukta 1.41
Varuṇa, Mitra, Aryaman (Ādityas)
Is mantra mein Aditya logon ko bulaya gaya hai - Varun, Mitra aur Aryaman. Ye teeno door se dekhne wale rakshak hain jo duniya ka sahi dhang chalate hain. Hum unse maangte hain ki humein haar se bachayein, galtiyon se bachayein aur dushman logon ki chaal se bachayein. Ye humein yagya ka sahi raasta dikhate hain jisse hum sahi sochein aur logon ke saath achha rahen. Ant mein kaha gaya hai ki insaan ko samajhdari se kaam lena chahiye. Achha dikhne wale logon se bhi savdhan rehna chahiye. Bura bolne wale logon ke peeche mat padna chahiye.
Mantras
Mantra 1
यं रक्षन्ति प्रचेतसो वरुणो मित्रो अर्यमा । नू चित्स दभ्यते जनः ॥
Jise Varun, Mitra aur Aryaman bachate hain, woh aaj bhi nahi har sakta. Yeh teeno devta door tak dekh sakte hain. Woh insaan ko kabhi haar nahi hone dete. Uska dharam usse gira nahi sakta.
Mantra 2
यं बाहुतेव पिप्रति पान्ति मर्त्यं रिषः । अरिष्टः सर्व एधते ॥
Jis insaan ko yeh log bade pyaar se sambhaal ke rakhte hain, jaise koi apne haathon se pakad ke bacha raha ho. Usko koi takleef nahi pahunchti. Woh har tarah se aage badhta hai, bina kisi rukawat ke.
Mantra 3
वि दुर्गा वि द्विषः पुरो घ्नन्ति राजान एषाम् । नयन्ति दुरिता तिरः ॥
Yeh log mushkil raaste ko chaura kar dete hain. Dushman ki deewarein tod ke aage badhte hain. Hamare raste mein aane wali saari pareshaniyon ko yeh raja log door le jaate hain.
Mantra 4
सुगः पन्था अनृक्षर आदित्यास ऋतं यते । नात्रावखादो अस्ति वः ॥
Aditya devta kehte hain, jo insaan sach ke saath chalta hai, uska raasta acha hota hai. Us raaste mein koi toota nahi hota. Tumhare liye koi gadda nahi, koi girna nahi.
Mantra 5
यं यज्ञं नयथा नर आदित्या ऋजुना पथा । प्र वः स धीतये नशत् ॥
Aditya devta, tum jo bhi yagya seedhe raaste se le jaate ho, woh seedha tumhare paas pahunche. Aur hamare mann mein sochne ki taakat jaga de.
Mantra 6
स रत्नं मर्त्यो वसु विश्वं तोकमुत त्मना । अच्छा गच्छत्यस्तृतः ॥
Woh insaan khazane tak pahunchta hai. Usko sab kuch milta hai, dhan, parivar ki badh, apne aap ka bal. Woh sidha chalta hai, kahin rukta nahi, na hi bhatakta hai.
Mantra 7
कथा राधाम सखायः स्तोमं मित्रस्यार्यम्णः । महि प्सरो वरुणस्य ॥
Hum dost ban ke Milra aur Aryaman ke liye kaise gaana gaayein? Varun ke bade-bade vichar ko kaise bol ke samjhayein? Yeh sab milkar sochna padega.
Mantra 8
मा वो घ्नन्तं मा शपन्तं प्रति वोचे देवयन्तम् । सुम्नैरिद्व आ विवासे ॥
Main tumse aise baat nahi karunga jo tumhe takleef de. Na bura bolunga. Main bhagwan ko dhundhta hua tumhare paas aata hoon. Sirf acchi baat se baat karunga.
Mantra 9
चतुरश्चिद्ददमानाद्बिभीयादा निधातोः । न दुरुक्ताय स्पृहयेत् ॥
Joh banda bahut deta hai, usse bhi darna chahiye. Kahi woh chupke se nuksan na kar de. Buri baat kabhi pasand nahi karni chahiye.
Frequently Asked Questions
The hymn chiefly addresses the Ādityas—Varuṇa, Mitra, and Aryaman—seen as far-seeing guardians of truth, law, and social harmony.
It means performing the ritual and living one’s life without deceit—aligned with ṛta—so the offering and the mind (dhī) move forward clearly and safely.
Because ṛta is not only cosmic order but also moral order: the hymn teaches discernment and disciplined speech as part of divine protection and social well-being.
