Mantra 2
Sukta 10
ईशां वो वेद राज्यं त्रिषंधे अरुणैः केतुभिः सह। ये अन्तरिक्षे ये दिवि पृथिव्यां ये च मानवाः। त्रिषंधेस्ते चेतसि दुर्णामान उपासताम्
īśā́m vo véda rā́jyaṁ triṣaṁdhe aruṇáiḥ ketúbhiḥ sahá | yé antárikṣe yé diví pṛthivyā́ṁ yé ca mānavā́ḥ | triṣaṁdhés té cétasi durnā́māna upā́satām ||
Lordship for you—kingship—Triṣandhi knows, together with ruddy banners. They that are in mid-air, they that are in heaven, on earth, and they that are men: let the ill-named in their mind attend upon Triṣandhi; let them be subject.
तुमच्यासाठी प्रभुत्व—राज्य—त्रिषंधि जाणतो, अरुण (लालसर) केतु-ध्वजांसह. जे अंतरिक्षात आहेत, जे द्युलोकात आहेत, जे पृथ्वीवर आहेत, आणि जे मानव आहेत—ज्यांच्या मनात ‘दुर्नाम’ (कुप्रसिद्ध/दुष्ट-नावधारी) आहे, त्यांनी त्रिषंधीची उपासना करावी; ते त्याच्या अधीन राहोत.
