7.52.1
यथा वृक्षमशनिर्विश्वाहा हन्त्यप्रति ।
एवाहमद्य कितवान् अक्षैर्बध्यासमप्रति ॥ ७.५२.१ ॥
As the thunderbolt always strikes the tree unopposed, so may I today strike down the gamblers with the dice, unopposed.
7.52.2
तुराणामतुराणां विशामवर्जुषीणाम् ।
समैतु विश्वतो भगो अन्तर्हस्तं कृतं मम ॥ ७.५२.२ ॥
From all the swift and the slow, from the unyielding peoples, may fortune come together from every side; may what I have done come into my hand.
7.52.3
ईडे अग्निं स्वावसुं नमोभिरिह प्रसक्तो वि चयत्कृतं नः ।
रथैरिव प्र भरे वाजयद्भिः प्रदक्षिणं मरुतां स्तोममृध्याम् ॥ ७.५२.३ ॥
I praise Agni of good protection with homage; devoted here, may he gather our deed apart. As with chariots, with those who strive, may I accomplish the clockwise praise of the Maruts.
7.52.4
वयं जयेम त्वया युजा वृतमस्माकमंशमुदवा भरेभरे ।
अस्मभ्यमिन्द्र वरीयः सुगं कृधि प्र शत्रूणां मघवन् वृष्ण्या रुज ॥ ७.५२.४ ॥
With you as companion, may we conquer the encircling foe; in every battle, lift up our share. For us, Indra, make the path wider and easier; O bountiful one, break the enemies with your virile power.
7.52.5
अजैषं त्वा संलिखितमजैषमुत संरुधम् ।
अविं वृको यथा मथदेवा मथ्नामि ते कृतम् ॥ ७.५२.५ ॥
I have conquered you, the scratched one, and I have conquered the obstructed one as well; as the wolf tears the sheep, so I churn apart your winnings.
7.52.6
उत प्रहामतिदीवा जयति कृतमिव श्वघ्नी वि चिनोति काले ।
यो देवकामो न धनं रुणद्धि समित्तं रायः सृजति स्वधाभिः ॥ ७.५२.६ ॥
And the gambler who overplays the striking throw wins; like a dog-killer, he gathers the winning throw at the right time. He who desires the gods does not withhold wealth; with svadhā-offerings he sends forth that very wealth.
7.52.7
गोभिष्टरेमामतिं दुरेवां यवेन वा क्षुधं पुरुहूत विश्वे ।
वयं राजसु प्रथमा धनान्यरिष्टासो वृजनीभिर्जयेम ॥ ७.५२.७ ॥
O all-gods, much-invoked, may we overcome ill-fated want and hunger with cows and with barley. Foremost among kings, unharmed, may we win riches by the throws of the dice.
7.52.8
कृतं मे दक्षिणे हस्ते जयो मे सव्य आहितः ।
गोजिद्भूयासमश्वजिद्धनंजयो हिरण्यजित् ॥ ७.५२.८ ॥
In my right hand is the winning throw (kṛta); in my left my victory is placed. May I be a winner of cows, a winner of horses, a winner of wealth, a winner of gold.
7.52.9
अक्षाः फलवतीं द्युवं दत्त गां क्षीरिणीमिव ।
सं मा कृतस्य धारया धनुः स्नाव्नेव नह्यत ॥ ७.५२.९ ॥
O dice, give me the fruitful stake, as one gives a milk-giving cow. Bind me fast with the stream of the winning throw, as a bow is bound with sinew.
