Sukta 76
Sukta 7.76
Vasiṣṭha
Uṣas with Savitṛ/Viśvānara in supportive roles (composite dawn-cosmic illumination frame)
Triṣṭubh (likely)
Vasishtha ji Ushas mata ka gungan karte hain. Ushas duniya ko roshni deti hain, jaise koi neem. Yeh divya roshni sab jagah failati hai. Savitri aur Vishvanar bhi is roshni mein madad karte hain. Purane rishi logne chhupi hui roshni dhundhi thi. Woh sachche mantra se Ushas ko jagaye the. Ab hum bhi dhan, naam aur suraksha maang rahe hain.
Mantras
Mantra 1
उदु ज्योतिरमृतं विश्वजन्यं विश्वानरः सविता देवो अश्रेत् । क्रत्वा देवानामजनिष्ट चक्षुराविरकर्भुवनं विश्वमुषाः ॥
Ab woh amar roshni uthi hai jo sabke liye hai. Savita bhagwan ne yeh roshni faila di. Bhagwan ki marzi se aankh paida hui hai. Usha ne poora duniya saaf karke dikhla diya hai.
Mantra 2
प्र मे पन्था देवयाना अदृश्रन्नमर्धन्तो वसुभिरिष्कृतासः । अभूदु केतुरुषसः पुरस्तात्प्रतीच्यागादधि हर्म्येभ्यः ॥
Bhagwan ke raaste mujhe dikhne lagenge. Woh mazboot hain aur acche se bane hain. Usha ka nishaan aage aa gaya hai. Woh hamare ghar ki taraf aa rahi hai.
Mantra 3
तानीदहानि बहुलान्यासन्या प्राचीनमुदिता सूर्यस्य । यतः परि जार इवाचरन्त्युषो ददृक्षे न पुनर्यतीव ॥
Kai dinon tak woh poorab mein sooraj ke saath uthi thi. Usha wahan se aise chalti hai jaise koi pyaar karne wala dhundta hai. Woh baar-baar dikhayi deti hai, lekin kabhi waisi wapas nahi aati jaise pehle thi.
Mantra 4
त इद्देवानां सधमाद आसन्नृतावानः कवयः पूर्व्यासः । गूळ्हं ज्योतिः पितरो अन्वविन्दन्त्सत्यमन्त्रा अजनयन्नुषासम् ॥
Purane rishi log the jo devataon ke saath milkar khush rehte the. In logon ne dharam ko pakda rakha tha. Unhone chhupa hua roshni dhundh li. Sachche mantro se unhone savera paida kar diya.
Mantra 5
समान ऊर्वे अधि संगतासः सं जानते न यतन्ते मिथस्ते । ते देवानां न मिनन्ति व्रतान्यमर्धन्तो वसुभिर्यादमानाः ॥
Sab log ek hi jagah par ikatthe ho gaye. Woh sab ek mann se jaante hain aur aapas mein ladte nahi hain. Devataon ke niyam todte nahi hain. Woh mazboot ho ke aage badhte hain aur dhan le kar aate hain.
Mantra 6
प्रति त्वा स्तोमैरीळते वसिष्ठा उषर्बुधः सुभगे तुष्टुवांसः । गवां नेत्री वाजपत्नी न उच्छोषः सुजाते प्रथमा जरस्व ॥
Vashishth rishi log savere uthte hain aur tumhe stuti ke geet gate hain. Tum roshni ka maarg dikhane wali ho aur shakti ki saathi ho. Achhi tarah paida hui savera ki devi, hamare liye uth aur sabse pehle dikh ja.
Mantra 7
एषा नेत्री राधसः सूनृतानामुषा उच्छन्ती रिभ्यते वसिष्ठैः । दीर्घश्रुतं रयिमस्मे दधाना यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥
Yeh savera dhan aur sachchi baatein laane wali hai. Yeh uthti hai aur Vashishth rishi log iski stuti karte hain. Yeh hamare liye badi badai wala dhan laati hai. Tum hamesha hamari acche se raksha karo.
