Mantras

Mantra 1

प्र द्यावा यज्ञैः पृथिवी नमोभिः सबाध ईळे बृहती यजत्रे । ते चिद्धि पूर्वे कवयो गृणन्तः पुरो मही दधिरे देवपुत्रे ॥

祭祀をもって天を、礼拝をもって地を——隔てなく相並べて——われは讃え呼ぶ、広大にして供献にふさわしき二者を。まこと、いにしえの詩聖たちも詠唱して、これら二つの神の子、偉なる力を先頭に据えたのである。

Mantra 2

प्र पूर्वजे पितरा नव्यसीभिर्गीर्भिः कृणुध्वं सदने ऋतस्य । आ नो द्यावापृथिवी दैव्येन जनेन यातं महि वां वरूथम् ॥

おお先に生まれし父母よ、つねに新しき歌詞をもって、リタ(Ṛta、正序)の座において汝らの臨在を成し立てよ。天と地よ、神聖なる諸族(力)とともにわれらのもとへ来たれ。汝らの護りの広がりは、まことに大いなるかな。

Mantra 3

उतो हि वां रत्नधेयानि सन्ति पुरूणि द्यावापृथिवी सुदासे । अस्मे धत्तं यदसदस्कृधोयु यूयं पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥

まことに、天と地よ、善き施し手のために、汝らの宝の据え置きは多い。われらに欠け残るものを、われらのうちに据えよ。施し尽きぬ者たちよ、常に安寧の調べをもってわれらを守れ。
