Sukta 29
Sukta 2.29
Gṛtsamada (Bhārgava)
Ādityas (especially Varuṇa and Mitra)
Triṣṭubh
Is mantra mein Grutsamada ne Aditya devtaon ko pukara hai. Sabse pehle Mitra aur Varun ka naam liya hai. Yeh devta duniya ka sahi niyam chalate hain. Kavi kehta hai ki humare andar ki koi galti door rehni chahiye. Humse koi chhupi hui galti na ho, yeh prayas hai. Sahi rasta dikhane ke liye unse daya maangi hai. Samajh ki bhasha aur khushali mein hum hissa lein. Andar se himmat rahe aur hum sahi raaste par chalen.
Mantras
Mantra 1
धृतव्रता आदित्या इषिरा आरे मत्कर्त रहसूरिवागः । शृण्वतो वो वरुण मित्र देवा भद्रस्य विद्वाँ अवसे हुवे वः ॥
Hey Aditya devta, tum log dharam pe chale ho. Mere andar ka chhota paap mujhse door rakhna. Varuna aur Mitra, tum sun rahe ho. Main bhalai jaanta hoon, isliye tumse madad maangta hoon.
Mantra 2
यूयं देवाः प्रमतिर्यूयमोजो यूयं द्वेषांसि सनुतर्युयोत । अभिक्षत्तारो अभि च क्षमध्वमद्या च नो मृळयतापरं च ॥
Devta, tum log samajhdar ho, tum mein taakat hai. Tum humari nafratein door kar dete ho. Humein maaf karo, aaj aur aage bhi. Humein theek karo.
Mantra 3
किमू नु वः कृणवामापरेण किं सनेन वसव आप्येन । यूयं नो मित्रावरुणादिते च स्वस्तिमिन्द्रामरुतो दधात ॥
Hum tumhare liye aur kya karein, paise se kya fayda? Mitra, Varuna aur Aditi, tum humein theek rakhna. Indra aur Marut devta bhi humein shanti dein.
Mantra 4
हये देवा यूयमिदापयः स्थ ते मृळत नाधमानाय मह्यम् । मा वो रथो मध्यमवाळृते भून्मा युष्मावत्स्वापिषु श्रमिष्म ॥
Deviyon, tum log thandai jaisa paani ho. Main bahut mehnat kar raha hoon, thoda daya karo. Tumhari gaadi seedhi raah se na hat jaaye. Tumhare saath jo cheezein milti hain, unme hum thak na jaayein.
Mantra 5
प्र व एको मिमय भूर्यागो यन्मा पितेव कितवं शशास । आरे पाशा आरे अघानि देवा मा माधि पुत्रे विमिव ग्रभीष्ट ॥
Tumme se ek ne mere liye bahut galtiyan bana di, jaise baap apne bete ko daanta jo jua khelta hai. Deviyo, tumhari faansi aur buri cheezein door ho jaayein. Mujhe pakadna mat, jaise pakshi pakadne wala shikaar ko pakadta hai.
Mantra 6
अर्वाञ्चो अद्या भवता यजत्रा आ वो हार्दि भयमानो व्ययेयम् । त्राध्वं नो देवा निजुरो वृकस्य त्राध्वं कर्तादवपदो यजत्राः ॥
Aaj hamari taraf mud ke dekho, deviyo. Mera dil darr raha hai, mujhe tumhare paas sukoon mile. Deviyo, bhediyon ki tarah chup ke aane wali takat se bachao. Jo girane wala hai, usse bhi bachao.
Mantra 7
माहं मघोनो वरुण प्रियस्य भूरिदाव्न आ विदं शूनमापेः । मा रायो राजन्त्सुयमादव स्थां बृहद्वदेम विदथे सुवीराः ॥
Hey Varun, mujhe woh pyara insaan na mile aisa na ho. Jo bahut deta hai uski company main kho na jaun. Main khaali haath na reh jaun. Raja, main sahi raah se na hat jaun. Hum log sabke saamne badi baat karein aur andar se strong rahein.
