Sukta 159

Sukta 10.159

Devata

Sūrya; Bhaga; and the speaking feminine power (often read as a bride/wife-voice hymn)

Is mantra mein ek aurat apni awaz mein bol rahi hai. Wo Surya aur Bhaga ko pukarti hai. Bhaga use uska haq dilata hai. Wo apne pati ke saath sukh chahti hai. Dusri auraton par jeet paana chahti hai. Ghar mein khushi aur samaj mein izzat maangti hai. Indra ki tarah taakat chahti hai.

उदसौ सूर्यो अगादुदयं मामको भगः । अहं तद्विद्वला पतिमभ्यसाक्षि विषासहिः ॥

Surya upar aa gaya hai. Mera bhag bhi utha hai. Main jaanti hoon yeh baat. Maine apne pati ko pa liya hai. Main jeet gayi hoon, buraai ko hara diya hai.

अहं केतुरहं मूर्धाहमुग्रा विवाचनी । ममेदनु क्रतुं पतिः सेहानाया उपाचरेत् ॥

Main nishaani hoon, main upar hoon. Main taakatwali hoon, main saaf bolti hoon. Mera pati meri baat maane. Meri ichcha ke hisaab se chale. Aisa hona chahiye.

Mantra 3

मम पुत्राः शत्रुहणोऽथो मे दुहिता विराट् । उताहमस्मि संजया पत्यौ मे श्लोक उत्तमः ॥

Mere bete dushmano ko harate hain. Meri beti badi hai, uska raj hai. Main poori tarah jeet gayi hoon. Mere pati ke ghar mein meri baat chalti hai.

येनेन्द्रो हविषा कृत्व्यभवद्द्युम्न्युत्तमः । इदं तदक्रि देवा असपत्ना किलाभुवम् ॥

Jis shakti se Indra ne havan karke sabse badi chamak paayi thi, usi shakti se main yeh kaam kar raha hoon. Hey devata, main sach mein bina kisi dushman ke ho jaunga, koi mujhse takkar nahi le sakta.

Main bina kisi dushman ke hoon, jo bhi mukabala kare usey main hara deta hoon. Main jeet kar upar aa jaata hoon. Main doosron se chamak aur shakti apni taraf khinch leta hoon, jaise koi cheez utha le. Jo insaan sahi hai, uske dushman ka koi daava nahi chalta.

Main in sab dushmano ko poora hara chuka hoon, main unpar bhari ho gaya hoon. Ab main is yoddha ki chamak ban kar chamkunga, aur logon mein bhi main chamkunga.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is a short hymn in a feminine voice that links sunrise (Sūrya) and fortune (Bhaga) with securing marriage, prosperity, and victory over rivalry or opposition.

Sūrya (the rising Sun) and Bhaga (giver of one’s share and good fortune) are explicit, and Indra’s victorious radiance is invoked as the model power that removes obstacles.

Sapatnī means a rival (often in a domestic sense), and asapatnā means ‘without rival.’ The hymn uses these terms as a spiritual-ritual declaration of overcoming jealousy, hostility, and any force that disrupts harmony.
