Sukta 2
अध्य॑क्षो वा॒जी मम॑ काम॑ उ॒ग्रः कृ॒णोतु॒ मह्य॑मसप॒त्नमे॒व। विश्वे॑ दे॒वा मम॑ ना॒थं भ॑वन्तु॒ सर्वे॑ दे॒वा हव॒मा य॑न्तु म इ॒मम्
adhyákṣo vājī́ máma kā́ma ugráḥ kṛṇótu máhyam asapátnam evá | víśve devā́ máma nā́thaṃ bhavantu sárve devā́ havám ā́ yantu me imám ||
Let fierce Kāma, mine overseer, victorious in might, make me—yea, make me—free from rivals. Let all the Gods become my patrons; let all the Gods come hither to this my call.
ମୋର ଅଧ୍ୟକ୍ଷ, ପରାକ୍ରମରେ ବିଜୟୀ ବାଜୀ ଏହି ଉଗ୍ର କାମ ମୋତେ—ହଁ, ମୋତେ—ନିଃସପତ୍ନ (ପ୍ରତିଦ୍ୱନ୍ଦ୍ୱୀ-ରହିତ) କରୁ। ସମସ୍ତ ଦେବତା ମୋର ନାଥ (ଆଶ୍ରୟଦାତା) ହେଉନ୍ତୁ; ସମସ୍ତ ଦେବତା ମୋର ଏହି ହବ/ଆହ୍ୱାନକୁ ଶୁଣି ଏଠାକୁ ଆସୁନ୍ତୁ।
