4.5.1
सहस्रशृङ्गो वृषभो यः समुद्रादुदाचरत् ।
तेना सहस्येना वयं नि जनान्त्स्वापयामसि ॥ ४.५.१ ॥
The thousand-horned bull that rose up from the ocean — with that forceful might we put the people to sleep.
4.5.2
न भूमिं वातो अति वाति नाति पश्यति कश्चन ।
स्त्रियश्च सर्वाः स्वापय शुनश्चेन्द्रसखा चरन् ॥ ४.५.२ ॥
The wind does not blow beyond the earth, and no one sees past it. Put to sleep all the women and the dogs, you who roam as Indra's friend.
4.5.3
प्रोष्ठेशयास्तल्पेशया नारीर्या वह्यशीवरीः ।
स्त्रियो याः पुण्यगन्धयस्ताः सर्वाः स्वापयामसि ॥ ४.५.३ ॥
The women who lie on the threshold, who lie on the bed, who are carried in litters, the women who are fragrant with auspicious scent — all of them we put to sleep.
4.5.4
एजदेजदजग्रभं चक्षुः प्राणमजग्रभम् ।
अङ्गान्यजग्रभं सर्वा रात्रीणामतिशर्वरे ॥ ४.५.४ ॥
Trembling, I seized the eye; I seized the breath of life; I seized all the limbs — in all the nights, in the very dark night.
4.5.5
य आस्ते यश्चरति यश्च तिष्ठन् विपश्यति ।
तेषां सं दध्मो अक्षीणि यथेदं हर्म्यं तथा ॥ ४.५.५ ॥
Whoever sits, whoever moves, whoever stands and watches — their eyes we close, just as this mansion is shut.
4.5.6
स्वप्तु माता स्वप्तु पिता स्वप्तु श्वा स्वप्तु विश्पतिः ।
स्वपन्त्वस्यै ज्ञातयः स्वप्त्वयमभितो जनः ॥ ४.५.६ ॥
Let the mother sleep; let the father sleep; let the dog sleep; let the lord of the house sleep. Let her kinsmen sleep; let this whole people around her sleep.
4.5.7
स्वप्न स्वप्नाभिकरणेन सर्वं नि स्वापया जनम् ।
ओत्सूर्यमन्यान्त्स्वापयाव्युषं जागृतादहमिन्द्र इवारिष्टो अक्षितः ॥ ४.५.७ ॥
O Sleep, by the means of causing dreams, put everyone, all people, to sleep. Put others to sleep before the sun; at daybreak let them wake. May I, like Indra, be unharmed and undiminished.
