Sukta 121
सुकृतलोकप्राप्तिः वि॒षाणा॒ पाशा॒न् वि ष्याध्य॒स्मद् य उ॑त्त॒मा अ॑ध॒मा वा॑रु॒णा ये। दु॒ष्वप्न्यं॑ दुरि॒तं नि ष्वा॒स्मदथ॑ गच्छेम सुकृ॒तस्य॑ लो॒कम्
viṣā́ṇa pā́śān ví syādhy asmád yá uttamā́ adhamā́ vāruṇā́ yé | duṣvápnyaṃ duritáṃ ní syā́smad átha gacchema sukṛ́tasya lokám
Loosen apart the nooses from us—those Varuṇa’s, whether higher or lower. Set down and away from us the evil dream, the misfortune; then may we go to the world of merit.
Lepaskanlah dari kami jerat-jerat itu—milik Varuṇa—baik yang lebih tinggi maupun yang lebih rendah. Letakkan dan jauhkan dari kami mimpi buruk, kemalangan; lalu semoga kami pergi ke dunia jasa-kebajikan (sukṛta).
Rishi: Atharvanic tradition (anukramaṇī attribution varies).
Devata: Varuṇa (as lord of pāśa) and the abstract powers of duṣvapnya/durita to be expelled.
Chandas: Triṣṭubh-like (edition-dependent).
Primary: shanta
Secondary: bhayankara
