1.106.1
इन्द्रं॑ मि॒त्रं वरु॑णम॒ग्निमू॒तये॒ मारु॑तं॒ शर्धो॒ अदि॑तिं हवामहे |
रथं॒ न दु॒र्गाद् व॑सवः सुदानवो॒ विश्व॑स्मान्नो॒ अंह॑सो॒ निष्पि॑पर्तन ||
CALL we for aid on Indra, Mitra, Varuṇa and Agni and the Marut host and Aditi. Even as a chariot from a difficult ravine, bountiful Vasus, rescue us from all distress.
We call for aid Indra, Mitra, Varuna, Agni, the Marut host, and Aditi; O bountiful Vasus, rescue us from all distress as one pulls a chariot from a hard ravine.
Vishve Devah litany with Aditi. Refrain: ratham na durgad—chariot from ravine—images grace extracting the stuck yajamana. Vasavah as liberal rescuers. Hindu: multi-deity solidarity for amhas (distress).
In complex crises, mobilize a whole support network; extract stuck projects with coordinated lift, not one heroic yank.
1.106.2
त आ॑दित्या॒ आ ग॑ता स॒र्वता॑तये भू॒त दे॑वा वृत्र॒तूर्ये॑षु श॒म्भुव॑: |
रथं॒ न दु॒र्गाद् व॑सवः सुदानवो॒ विश्व॑स्मान्नो॒ अंह॑सो॒ निष्पि॑पर्तन ||
Come ye Ādityas for our full prosperity, in conquests of the foe, ye Gods, bring joy to us. Even as a chariot from a difficult ravine, bountiful Vasus, rescue us from all distress.
Come, Adityas, for our full prosperity; in conquest of the foe bring us joy, O Gods; O bountiful Vasus, rescue us from all distress like a chariot from a hard ravine.
Adityas for sarva-pushti and shatru-jaya with mayas (joy). Same ravine-rescue refrain. Solar-ethical deities sought for flourishing after conflict.
Aim past mere survival to wellbeing; after conflict, restore joy and stability together.
1.106.3
अव॑न्तु नः पि॒तर॑: सुप्रवाच॒ना उ॒त दे॒वी दे॒वपु॑त्रे ऋता॒वृधा॑ |
रथं॒ न दु॒र्गाद् व॑सवः सुदानवो॒ विश्व॑स्मान्नो॒ अंह॑सो॒ निष्पि॑पर्तन ||
May the most glorious Fathers aid us, and the two Goddesses, Mothers of the Gods, who strengthen Law. Even as a chariot from a difficult ravine, bountiful Vasus, rescue us from all distress.
May the most glorious Fathers aid us, and the two Goddesses, Mothers of the Gods who strengthen Law; O bountiful Vasus, rescue us from all distress like a chariot from a hard ravine.
Pitarah and two Matarah (often Dyava-Prithivi or related goddesses) who vardhayanti Rita. Ancestor and mother-powers join Vasu rescue—parampara and cosmic maternity.
Draw on ancestral wisdom and nurturing structures that uphold fair rules when you feel trapped.
1.106.4
नरा॒शंसं॑ वा॒जिनं॑ वा॒जय॑न्नि॒ह क्ष॒यद्वी॑रं पू॒षणं॑ सु॒म्नैरी॑महे |
रथं॒ न दु॒र्गाद् व॑सवः सुदानवो॒ विश्व॑स्मान्नो॒ अंह॑सो॒ निष्पि॑पर्तन ||
To mighty Narāśaṁsa, strengthening his might, to Pūṣan, ruler over men, we pray with hymns. Even as a chariot from a difficult ravine, bountiful Vasus, rescue us from all distress.
To mighty Narashamsa, strengthening his might, to Pushan, ruler over men, we pray with hymns; O bountiful Vasus, rescue us from all distress like a chariot from a hard ravine.
Narashamsa (praise of men / Agni aspect) and Pushan (path-guardian, nourisher) receive uktha. Path and praise deities for extraction from durga.
Use clear communication and good guidance systems—maps, mentors, logistics—to exit stuck terrain.
1.106.5
बृह॑स्पते॒ सद॒मिन्न॑: सु॒गं कृ॑धि॒ शं योर्यत् ते॒ मनु॑र्हितं॒ तदी॑महे |
रथं॒ न दु॒र्गाद् व॑सवः सुदानवो॒ विश्व॑स्मान्नो॒ अंह॑सो॒ निष्पि॑पर्तन ||
Bṛhaspati, make us evermore an easy path: we crave what boon thou hast for men in rest and stir. Like as a chariot from a difficult ravine, bountiful Vasus, rescue us from all distress.
Brihaspati, make our path ever easy; we crave the boon you have for people in rest and in motion; O bountiful Vasus, rescue us from all distress like a chariot from a hard ravine.
Brihaspati for sugatu (easy path) and bhagam in shama and cyavana—rest and activity. Guru-deity of sacred speech eases both stillness and enterprise.
Seek counsel that helps both recovery and action; ease of path is a legitimate goal, not laziness.
1.106.6
इन्द्रं॒ कुत्सो॑ वृत्र॒हणं॒ शची॒पतिं॑ का॒टे निबा॑ह्ल॒ ऋषि॑रह्वदू॒तये॑ |
रथं॒ न दु॒र्गाद् व॑सवः सुदानवो॒ विश्व॑स्मान्नो॒ अंह॑सो॒ निष्पि॑पर्तन ||
Sunk in the pit the Ṛṣi Kutsa called, to aid, Indra the Vṛtra-slayer, Lord of power and might. Even as a chariot from a difficult ravine, bountiful Vasus, rescue us from all distress.
Sunk in the pit, the rishi Kutsa called Indra the Vritra-slayer, lord of power; O bountiful Vasus, rescue us from all distress like a chariot from a hard ravine.
Explicit parallel to pit-rescue: Kutsa avahita in the kartá calls Indra Vritrahan. Links 1.105's well motif to Kutsa's own lore—Hindu continuity of amhas-to-uru narratives.
Remember precedents of rescue; your call can follow patterns that already worked for others in similar pits.
1.106.7
दे॒वैर्नो॑ दे॒व्यदि॑ति॒र्नि पा॑तु दे॒वस्त्रा॒ता त्रा॑यता॒मप्र॑युच्छन् |
तन्नो॑ मि॒त्रो वरु॑णो मामहन्ता॒मदि॑ति॒: सिन्धु॑: पृथि॒वी उ॒त द्यौः ||
May Aditi the Goddess guard us with the Gods: may the protecting God keep us with ceaseless care. This prayer of ours may Varuṇa grant, and Mitra, and Aditi and Sindhu, Earth and Heaven.
May Goddess Aditi guard us with the Gods; may the protecting God keep us with ceaseless care; may Mitra, Varuna, Aditi, Sindhu, Earth and Heaven grant this prayer.
Aditi with Devas as goptri; trayamanah devam for continuous raksha. Closing shanti formula. Boundless Mother plus ethical cosmos.
Prefer ongoing care structures over one-off fixes; continuous protection beats crisis-only response.
