Mantra 1

Sukta 140

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

यन्नासत्या भुरण्यथो यद्वा देव भिषज्यथः । अयं वां वत्सो मतिभिर्न विन्धते हविष्मन्तं हि गच्छथः

IAST Transliteration

yán nā́satyā bhuraṇyáthो yád vā deva bhiṣajyáthāḥ | ayáṁ vāṁ vatsó matíbhir ná vindate havíṣmantaṁ hí gácchathaḥ

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Since, O Nāsatyās, ye are swift, and since, O god, ye deal as healers—This your calf by thoughts alone findeth you not; for ye go unto him that hath oblation.

Translation

ਹੇ ਨਾਸਤਿਆਓ, ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਤੇਜ਼ ਹੋ, ਅਤੇ ਹੇ ਦੇਵੋ, ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਭਿਸਜ੍ਯ (ਵੈਦਿਕ ਉਪਚਾਰ) ਕਰਦੇ ਹੋ—ਇਹ ਤੁਹਾਡਾ ਵੱਛਾ ਕੇਵਲ ਵਿਚਾਰਾਂ ਨਾਲ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਨਹੀਂ ਲੱਭਦਾ; ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਹਵਿਸ਼ਮਾਨ (ਹਵਿਸ਼ ਵਾਲੇ) ਕੋਲ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਹੋ।
