Sukta 51

Mantra 1

एनोनाशनम्। वा॒योः पू॒तः प॒वित्रे॑ण प्र॒त्यङ् सोमो॒ अति॑ द्रु॒तः । इन्द्र॑स्य॒ युजः॒ सखा॑

Sin-destroying: purified by Vāyu, with the strainer, Soma—turned back—hath run beyond; Indra’s yoked companion, his friend.

Mantra 2

आपो॑ अ॒स्मान् मा॒तरः॑ सूदयन्तु घृ॒तेन॑ नो घृ॒तप्वः पुनन्तु । विश्वं॒ हि रि॒प्रं प्र॒वह॑न्ति दे॒वीरुदिदा॑भ्यः॒ शुचि॒रा पू॒त ए॑मि

May the Waters, Mothers, set us in right estate; with ghee may they, ghee-cleansing, purify us. For all defilement do the Goddesses wash away: from them, yea, I come forth—clean, purified.

Mantra 3

यत् किं चे॒दं व॑रुण॒ दैव्ये॒ जने॑ऽभिद्रो॒हं म॑नु॒ष्या॒३श्चर॑न्ति । अचि॑त्त्या॒ चेत् तव॒ धर्मा॑ युयोपि॒म मा न॒स्तस्मा॒देन॑सो देव रीरिषः

Whatsoever here—O Varuṇa—in the divine folk, as hostile wrong, men practise; if, unwitting, we have overstepped thy ordinances, from that, from guilt, O God, do thou not harm us.
