Sukta 57
तं त्वा॑ स्वप्न॒ तथा॒ सं वि॑द्म॒ स त्वं स्व॒प्नाश्व॑ इव का॒यमश्व॑ इव नीना॒हम्। अ॒ना॒स्मा॒कं दे॑वपी॒युं पिया॑रुं वप॒ यद॒स्मासु॑ दु॒ष्वप्न्यं॒ यद् गोषु॒ यच्च॑ नो गृ॒हे
táṃ tvā́ svapna tathā́ sáṃ vidmáḥ sá tváṃ svapnā́śva iva kāyám áśva iva nīn̄āhám | anāsmā́kaṃ devapī́yuṃ piyā́ruṃ vapa yád asmā́su duṣvápmyaṃ yád góṣu yác ca no gṛhé
Thee, O Dream, thus do we wholly know: thou art, as it were, a dream-horse; like a horse thou bearest upon the body—yet I lead thee down and away. Strew forth the god-drinking Piyāru, not ours, to cast out whatever ill-dream evil is in us, whatever is among our kine, and whatever is within our house.
सपना, हम तुम्हे पूरा जानते हैं। तुम जैसे सपने का घोड़ा हो, जैसे घोड़ा शरीर पे बोझ उठाता है, पर मैं तुम्हे नीचे ले जाता हूँ। पियरु नाम की पोद बिछा दो, जो भगवान को पसंद आती है। जो भी बुरा सपना हम में है, हमारी गाय में है, घर में है, सबको बाहर निकाल दो।
