Rigveda 6.53

6.53.1

व॒यमु॑ त्वा पथस्पते॒ रथं॒ न वाज॑सातये | धि॒ये पू॑षन्नयुज्महि ||

LORD of the path, O Pūṣan, we have yoked and bound thee to our hymn, Even as a car, to win the prize.

6.53.2

अ॒भि नो॒ नर्यं॒ वसु॑ वी॒रं प्रय॑तदक्षिणम् | वा॒मं गृ॒हप॑तिं नय ||

Bring us the wealth that men require, a manly master of a house, Free-handed with the liberal meed.

6.53.3

अदि॑त्सन्तं चिदाघृणे॒ पूष॒न्दाना॑य चोदय | प॒णेश्चि॒द्वि म्र॑दा॒ मन॑: ||

Even him who would not give, do thou, O glowing Pūṣan, urge to give, And make the niggard's soul grow soft.

6.53.4

वि प॒थो वाज॑सातये चिनु॒हि वि मृधो॑ जहि | साध॑न्तामुग्र नो॒ धिय॑: ||

Clear paths that we may win the prize; scatter our enemies afar. Strong God, be all our thoughts fulfilled.

6.53.5

परि॑ तृन्धि पणी॒नामार॑या॒ हृद॑या कवे | अथे॑म॒स्मभ्यं॑ रन्धय ||

Penetrate with an awl, O Sage, the hearts of avaricious churls, And make them subject to our will.

6.53.6

वि पू॑ष॒न्नार॑या तुद प॒णेरि॑च्छ हृ॒दि प्रि॒यम् | अथे॑म॒स्मभ्यं॑ रन्धय ||

Thrust with thine awl, O Pūṣan: seek that which the niggard's heart holds dear, And make him subject to our will.

6.53.7

आ रि॑ख किकि॒रा कृ॑णु पणी॒नां हृद॑या कवे | अथे॑म॒स्मभ्यं॑ रन्धय ||

Tear up and read in pieces, Sage, the hearts of avaricious churls, And make them subject to our will.

6.53.8

यां पू॑षन्ब्रह्म॒चोद॑नी॒मारां॒ बिभ॑र्ष्याघृणे | तया॑ समस्य॒ हृद॑य॒मा रि॑ख किकि॒रा कृ॑णु ||

Thou, glowing Pūṣan, carriest an awl that urges men to prayer; Therewith do thou tear up and rend to shreds the heart of every one.

6.53.9

या ते॒ अष्ट्रा॒ गोओ॑प॒शाऽऽघृ॑णे पशु॒साध॑नी | तस्या॑स्ते सु॒म्नमी॑महे ||

Thou bearest, glowing Lord! a goad with horny point that guides the cows Thence do we seek thy gift of bliss.

6.53.10

उ॒त नो॑ गो॒षणिं॒ धिय॑मश्व॒सां वा॑ज॒सामु॒त | नृ॒वत्कृ॑णुहि वी॒तये॑ ||

And make this hymn of ours produce kine, horses, and a store of wealth For our delight and use as men.
