Sukta 7.54
Vasiṣṭha
Vāstoṣpati (guardian/presiding power of the dwelling)
Triṣṭubh (probable)
Vasishtha is calling Vastospati, jo ghar ka rakshak hai. Woh kehte hain ki ghar mein aane se pehle achha ho jaye. Yeh mantra maangta hai ki log aur jaanwar dono sukhi rahein. Zindagi lambi ho aur paisa waisa badhe. Roz ka kaam aur puja sahi se chal ta rahe. Ghar mein koi bimari ya takleef na aaye. Vastospati hamesha raksha kare.
Mantra 1
वास्तोष्पते प्रति जानीह्यस्मान्त्स्वावेशो अनमीवो भवा नः । यत्त्वेमहे प्रति तन्नो जुषस्व शं नो भव द्विपदे शं चतुष्पदे ॥
Hey ghar ke malik, hamari taraf dekho. Hamare liye accha raho aur koi takleef mat do. Jo hum tumse maang rahe hain, woh kablo. Hamare ghar mein do paon wale aur chaar paon wale sab ke liye shanti banao.
Mantra 2
वास्तोष्पते प्रतरणो न एधि गयस्फानो गोभिरश्वेभिरिन्दो । अजरासस्ते सख्ये स्याम पितेव पुत्रान्प्रति नो जुषस्व ॥
Hey ghar ke malik, tum hamare aage badhane wale ho. Tum hamare liye jeevan badhane wale ho, roshni aur taqat ke saath. Tumhari dosti mein hum kabhi budhe nahi honge. Jaise baap apne bete ko kablta hai, waise humein kablo.
Mantra 3
वास्तोष्पते शग्मया संसदा ते सक्षीमहि रण्वया गातुमत्या । पाहि क्षेम उत योगे वरं नो यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥
Hey ghar ke malik, tumhari taqat aur acche raaste ke saath hum tumhare saath reh sakte hain. Hamari hifazat karo jab hum sukoon mein hon aur jab kaam mein lage hon. Hamesha apni shakti se hamare nigrani karte raho.
Vāstoṣpati is the presiding power of the dwelling—the guardian who makes a home safe, harmonious, and fit for healthy living.
It asks peace and protection for everyone in the household: people (two-footed) and animals such as cattle and horses (four-footed), reflecting a complete domestic economy.
It is suitable for entering or blessing a new home, for restoring calm after disturbances, and for prayers seeking health, protection, and prosperity in household life.
