Sukta 102
आत्मनोऽहिंसनम्। १ प्रजापतिः। द्यावापृथिवी, अन्तरिक्षम्, मृत्युः। विराट् पुरस्ताद् बृहती। न॒म॒स्कृत्य॒ द्यावा॑पृथि॒वीभ्या॑म॒न्तरि॑क्षाय मृ॒त्यवे॑ । मे॒क्षाम्यू॒र्ध्वस्तिष्ठ॒न् मा मा॑ हिंसिषुरीश्व॒राः
namaskṛ́tya dyā́vā-pṛthivī́bhyām antárikṣāya mṛtyáve | mékṣāmy ū́rdhvas tíṣṭhan mā́ mā hiṃsiṣur ī́śvarāḥ ||
Having made obeisance to Heaven and Earth, to the Mid-air, to Death, I would win release: standing upright, let not the mighty Powers injure me.
मैं आसमान और धरती को नमस्ते करता हूँ। हवा और मृत्यु को भी। मैं सीधा खड़ा होके उनसे बड़ा चाहता हूँ। भगवान, मुझे तकलीफ़ मत देना।
