Mantra 8

Sukta 3

Sanskrit (Devanagari)

उत् तिष्ठ प्रेहि प्र द्रवौकः कृणुष्व सलिले सधस्थे । तत्र त्वं पितृभिः संविदानः सं सोमेन मदस्व सं स्वधाभिः

IAST Transliteration

út tíṣṭha préhi prá dravókaḥ kṛṇuṣva salilé sadhásthe | tátra tváṃ pitṛ́bhiḥ saṃvidānáḥ sáṃ sómena mádasva sáṃ svadhā́bhiḥ ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Rise up; go forth: make thee a flowing home, a station in the waters. There, in accord with the Fathers, rejoice together with Soma, rejoice together with the svadhā-powers and offerings.

Translation

起身吧，前行吧；为你自己营造一处流动的居所，在水中安立你的座处。于彼处，你与祖灵（Pitṛ）相契相应；与苏摩（Soma）同欢共醉，与诸“svadhā”（自力之供养、祭食之力）同欢共悦。
