Sukta 158
Sukta 10.158
Sūrya, Vāta, Agni (triadic guardianship across three worlds)
Is mantra mein teen rakshak bulaye jaate hain - Surya aasman mein, Vata beech wale kshetra mein, aur Agni dharti par. Yeh teeno insaan ko har level pe safe rakhte hain. Phir aankhon ki shakti ke liye prayog hai - ki vision saaf ho aur broad ho. Jo shaktiyan aankhon ko set karti hain aur stabilize karti hain, unse clear vision maanga hai. Ant mein yeh wish hai ki Surya ko perfectly visible dekhein. Aur jaise logon ki aankhein roshni se bharti hain, waise hi broad vision mile.
Mantras
Mantra 1
सूर्यो नो दिवस्पातु वातो अन्तरिक्षात् । अग्निर्नः पार्थिवेभ्यः ॥
Surya humein aasmaan se bachaye. Pawan humein beech ki duniya se bachaye. Agni humein dharti se bachaye. Is tarah hum charo taraf se surakshit rahenge.
Mantra 2
जोषा सवितर्यस्य ते हरः शतं सवाँ अर्हति । पाहि नो दिद्युतः पतन्त्याः ॥
Savitar, tumhari sone jaisi shakti bahut badi hai. Tumhari kirne sau guna takat rakhti hain. Humein bijli ki chamak se bacha lena, jo upar se girti hai.
Mantra 3
चक्षुर्नो देवः सविता चक्षुर्न उत पर्वतः । चक्षुर्धाता दधातु नः ॥
Bhagwan Savitar humein aankh de, taaki hum sahi dekh sakein. Parvat bhi humein nazar de. Dhatra humein dekhne ki shakti de, taaki humari nazar pakki ho jaye.
Mantra 4
चक्षुर्नो धेहि चक्षुषे चक्षुर्विख्यै तनूभ्यः । सं चेदं वि च पश्येम ॥
Bhagwan humein aankhein de do. Aise nazar de jo sahi dikhaye. Hum shareer se saaf dekh sakein. Is duniya ko ek saath bhi dekhein, alag-alag bhi samjhein.
Mantra 5
सुसंदृशं त्वा वयं प्रति पश्येम सूर्य । वि पश्येम नृचक्षसः ॥
Hey Surya, hum tujhe saaf dekhna chahte hain. Aankhon samne tujhe dekh lein. Phir hum itna achha dekhne lagenge ki andar ki baat bhi samajh aaye.
Frequently Asked Questions
It is a short hymn for protection on all levels (heaven, midspace, and earth) and for the restoration and strengthening of vision—both physical sight and inner clarity.
They represent guardians of the three cosmic regions: Surya protects from the heavens, Vata from the mid-region, and Agni from the earthly realm—so the worshipper is covered completely.
It is commonly recited at dawn or sunrise facing the light, optionally with a lamp or small fire, as a prayer for safety, vitality, and clear perception (especially when seeking support for eyesight and mental clarity).
