7.114.1
इदमुग्राय बभ्रवे नमो यो अक्षेषु तनूवशी ।
घृतेन कलिं शिक्षामि स नो मृडातीदृशे ॥ ७.११४.१ ॥
Homage to the fierce, tawny one, who controls his body among the dice. With ghee I train Kali; may he be gracious to us in such a state.
7.114.2
घृतमप्सराभ्यो वह त्वमग्ने पांसून् अक्षेभ्यः सिकता अपश्च ।
यथाभागं हव्यदातिं जुषाणा मदन्ति देवा उभयानि हव्या ॥ ७.११४.२ ॥
O Agni, bring ghee for the apsarases, dust, sand and water for the dice. Enjoying the offering-gift according to each share, the gods rejoice in both kinds of oblations.
7.114.3
अप्सरसः सधमादं मदन्ति हविर्धानमन्तरा सूर्यं च ।
ता मे हस्तौ सं सृजन्तु घृतेन सपत्नं मे कितवं रन्धयन्तु ॥ ७.११४.३ ॥
The apsarases rejoice at the common feast between the oblation-cart and the sun. May they set my two hands together in motion, and with ghee subdue my rival, the gambler.
7.114.4
आदिनवं प्रतिदीव्ने घृतेनास्मामभि क्षर ।
वृक्षमिवाशन्या जहि यो अस्मान् प्रतिदीव्यति ॥ ७.११४.४ ॥
Pour upon us the fresh (drop) with ghee; strike down, as with a thunderbolt a tree, him who plays against us.
7.114.5
यो नो द्युवे धनमिदं चकार यो अक्षाणां ग्लहनं शेषणं च ।
स नो देवो हविरिदं जुषाणो गन्धर्वेभिः सधमादं मदेम ॥ ७.११४.५ ॥
May that god who made this stake of gambling for us, who made the winning and losing of the dice, enjoying this oblation, we rejoice with the Gandharvas in the common feast.
7.114.6
संवसव इति वो नामधेयमुग्रंपश्या राष्ट्रभृतो ह्यक्षाः ।
तेभ्यो व इन्दवो हविषा विधेम वयं स्याम पतयो रयीणाम् ॥ ७.११४.६ ॥
"Samvasavas" is your name; seers of the fierce, you dice are indeed nourishers of the realm. To you, O drops of soma, we honour with oblation; may we become lords of riches.
7.114.7
देवान् यन् नाथितो हुवे ब्रह्मचर्यं यदूषिम ।
अक्षान् यद्बभ्रून् आलभे ते नो मृडन्त्वीदृशे ॥ ७.११४.७ ॥
Pressed in need, I call upon the gods. By the vow of chastity we have kept, and by the brown dice I take in hand, may they be gracious to us in such a state.
