Sukta 55

Mantra 1

सौमनस्यम्। ये पन्था॑नो ब॒हवो॑ देव॒याना॑ अन्त॒रा द्यावा॑पृथि॒वी सं॒चर॑न्ति । तेषा॒मज्या॑निं यत॒मो वहा॑ति॒ तस्मै॑ मा देवाः॒ परि॑ धत्ते॒ह सर्वे॑

Goodwill. The many paths, god-leading, that move between Heaven and Earth—whichever of them bearest best the untraced (way), unto that let all the Gods here set goodwill round about me.

Mantra 2

ग्री॒ष्मो हे॑म॒न्तः शिशि॑रो वस॒न्तः श॒रद् व॒र्षाः स्वि॒ते नो॑ दधात । आ नो॒ गोषु॒ भज॒ता प्र॒जायां॑ निवा॒त इद् वः॑ शर॒णे स्या॑म

Summer and Winter, Cold-season and Spring, Autumn and the Rains—graciously bestow on us (your gifts). Deal out to us among cattle, deal out in progeny; in your windless shelter, yea, in refuge may we abide.

Mantra 3

इ॒दा॒व॒त्स॒राय॑ परिवत्स॒राय॑ संवत्स॒राय॑ कृणुता बृ॒हन्नमः॑ । तेषां॑ व॒यं सु॑म॒तौ य॒ज्ञिया॑ना॒मपि॑ भ॒द्रे सौ॑मन॒से स्या॑म

To the This-year, to the Turning-year, to the Full-year make ye great reverence. In the good favor of those worship-worthy Powers may we abide—yea, in the auspicious, in goodwill may we be.
