Sukta 63

Mantra 1

वर्चोबलप्राप्तिः। यत् ते॑ दे॒वी निरृ॑तिराब॒बन्ध॒ दाम॑ ग्री॒वास्व॑विमो॒क्यं यत्। तत् ते वि ष्या॒म्यायु॑षे॒ वर्च॑से॒ बला॑यादोम॒दमन्न॑मद्धि॒ प्रसू॑तः

What bond the Goddess Nirṛti hath fastened on thee—a cord upon the neck, a bond not lightly loosed—this same for thee I sunder, for life, for splendour, for strength. Eat thou this gladdening food, sent forth (to renewed being).

Mantra 2

नमो॑ऽस्तु ते निरृते तिग्मतेजोऽय॒स्मया॒न् वि चृ॑ता बन्धपा॒शान्। य॒मो मह्यं॒ पुन॒रित् त्वां द॑दाति॒ तस्मै॑ य॒माय॒ नमो॑ अस्तु मृ॒त्यवे॑

Homage be unto thee, O Nirṛti of keen-edged might: thy iron binding-nooses are cut apart. Yama giveth thee back to me again; to that Yama be homage—homage unto Death.

Mantra 3

अ॒य॒स्मये॑ द्रुप॒दे बे॑धिषे इ॒हाभिहि॑तो मृ॒त्युभि॒र्ये स॒हस्र॑म्। य॒मेन॒ त्वं पि॒तृभिः॑ संविदा॒न उ॑त्त॒मं नाक॒मधि॑ रोहये॒मम्

To the iron (fetter), O stock-bound one, thou art smitten; here thou liest beset by deaths a thousandfold. With Yama, in accord with the Fathers, raise thou this man up unto the highest heaven.

Mantra 4

संस॒मिद् यु॑वसे वृष॒न्नग्ने॒ विश्वा॑न्य॒र्यृ आ। इ॒डस्प॒दे समि॑ध्यसे॒ स नो॒ वसू॒न्या भ॑र

With kindlings duly laid for thee, O youthful Bull, O Agni, the patron (calls) all things hither. At Iḍā’s place thou art kindled: bring thou to us wealth and goodly store.
