1.162.1
मा नो॑ मि॒त्रो वरु॑णो अर्य॒मायुरिन्द्र॑ ऋभु॒क्षा म॒रुतः॒ परि॑ ख्यन् ।
यद्वा॒जिनो॑ दे॒वजा॑तस्य॒ सप्तेः॑ प्रव॒क्ष्यामो॑ वि॒दथे॑ वी॒र्या॑णि ॥
May Mitra, Varuṇa, Aryaman, Āyu, Indra, Ṛbhukṣan and the Maruts look upon us without forsaking us, so that in the contest we may proclaim the heroic deeds of the swift, god-born seven-formed horse.
1.162.2
यन्नि॒र्णिजा॒ रेक्ण॑सा॒ प्रावृ॑तस्य रा॒तिं गृ॑भी॒तां मु॑ख॒तो नय॑न्ति ।
सुप्रा॑ङ॒जो मेम्य॑द्वि॒श्वरू॑प इन्द्रापू॒ष्णोः प्रि॒यमप्ये॑ति॒ पाथः॑ ॥
When they lead forward, grasping the covered horse with cords and ropes, the radiant unborn goat, of all forms and roaring, goes to the path dear to Indra and Pūṣan.
1.162.3
ए॒ष छागः॑ पु॒रो अश्वे॑न वा॒जिना॑ पू॒ष्णो भा॒गो नी॑यते वि॒श्वदे॑व्यः ।
अ॒भि॒प्रियं॒ यत्पु॑रो॒ळाश॒मर्व॑ता॒ त्वष्टेदे॑नं सौश्रव॒साय॑ जिन्वति ॥
This goat, belonging to all the gods, is led forward as Pūṣan's portion together with the horse and the swift stallion; when Tvaṣṭar himself urges him on, with the dear cake and the horse, for the sake of good fame.
1.162.4
यद्ध॑वि॒ष्य॑मृतु॒शो दे॑व॒यानं॒ त्रिर्मानु॑षाः॒ पर्यश्वं॒ नय॑न्ति ।
अत्रा॑ पू॒ष्णः प्र॑थ॒मो भा॒ग ए॑ति य॒ज्ञं दे॒वेभ्यः॑ प्रतिवे॒दय॑न्न॒जः ॥
When men lead the oblation thrice around the horse, in season, along the path of the gods, here Pūṣan's first portion goes forth, and the unborn one proceeds, announcing the sacrifice to the gods.
1.162.5
होता॑ध्व॒र्युराव॑या अग्निमि॒न्धो ग्रा॑वग्रा॒भ उ॒त शंस्ता॒ सुवि॑प्रः ।
तेन॑ य॒ज्ञेन॒ स्व॑रंकृतेन॒ स्वि॑ष्टेन व॒क्षणा॒ आ पृ॑णध्वम् ॥
O hotar and adhvaryu, you two kindle the fire; come also, grāvagrābha and the reciter, the very wise one. By that sacrifice made with fine chant, well offered, fill up our praises.
1.162.6
यू॒प॒व्र॒स्का उ॒त ये यू॑पवा॒हाश्च॒षालं॒ ये अ॑श्वयू॒पाय॒ तक्ष॑ति ।
ये चार्व॑ते॒ पच॑नं स॒म्भर॑न्ति उ॒तो तेषा॑म॒भिगू॑र्तिर्न इन्वतु ॥
Those who cut the sacrificial post and those who carry it, who fashion the cup for the horse-post, who gather the cooking for the swift one — may their support (abhigūrti) be pleasing to us.
1.162.7
उप॒ प्रागा॑त्सु॒मन्मे॑ऽधायि॒ मन्म॑ दे॒वाना॒माशा॒ उप॑ वी॒तपृ॑ष्ठः ।
अन्वे॑नं॒ विप्रा॒ ऋष॑यो मदन्ति दे॒वानां॑ पु॒ष्टे च॑कृमा सु॒बन्धु॑म् ॥
This prayer has reached toward the directions of the gods, and has been firmly set for my good, near the horse with its back extended. After it the inspired poets and seers rejoice; for the prosperity of the gods we have tied up this well-bound one.
1.162.8
यद्वा॒जिनो॒ दाम॑ सं॒दान॒मर्व॑तो॒ या शी॑र्ष॒ण्या॑ रश॒ना रज्जु॑रस्य ।
यद्वा॑ घास्य॒ प्रभृ॑तमा॒स्ये॑ तृणं॒ सर्वा॒ ता ते॒ अपि॑ दे॒वेष्व॑स्तु ॥
Whatever are the horse's bonds, its head-strap, halter and cord, its rope, and whatever portion of grass is put forward into its mouth—let all of these, for you, be also among the gods.
1.162.9
यदश्व॑स्य क्र॒विषो॒ मक्षि॒काश॒ यद्वा॒ स्वरौ॒ स्वधि॑तौ रि॒प्तमस्ति॑ ।
यद्धस्त॑योः शमि॒तुर्यन्न॒खेषु॒ सर्वा॒ ता ते॒ अपि॑ दे॒वेष्व॑स्तु ॥
Whatever are the flies of the bold horse, whatever remains smeared on the two wheels and on the axle-pin, whatever is in the two hands of the one who cuts, and whatever is in the nails—let all of these, for you, be also among the gods.
1.162.10
यदूव॑ध्यमु॒दर॑स्याप॒वाति॒ य आ॒मस्य॑ क्र॒विषो॑ ग॒न्धो अस्ति॑ ।
सु॒कृ॒ता तच्छ॑मि॒तारः॑ कृण्वन्तू॒त मेधं॑ शृत॒पाकं॑ पचन्तु ॥
Whatever portion drops from the belly, whatever is the smell of raw flesh—let the slaughterers make it well; and let them cook the offering, the sacred portion boiled in ghee.
1.162.11
यत्ते॒ गात्रा॑द॒ग्निना॑ प॒च्यमा॑नाद॒भि शूलं॒ निह॑तस्याव॒धाव॑ति ।
मा तद्भूम्या॒मा श्रि॑ष॒न्मा तृणे॑षु दे॒वेभ्य॒स्तदु॒शद्भ्यो॑ रा॒तम॑स्तु ॥
Whatever runs off from your limb while cooking in the fire, from the spit of the one who is pierced—let it not fall upon the earth, nor among the grasses; let it be a gift to the gods and to the dawns.
1.162.12
ये वा॒जिनं॑ परि॒पश्य॑न्ति प॒क्वं य ई॑मा॒हुः सु॑र॒भिर्निर्ह॒रेति॑ ।
ये चार्व॑तो मांसभि॒क्षामु॒पास॑त उ॒तो तेषा॑म॒भिगू॑र्तिर्न इन्वतु ॥
Those who look around at the ripe horse, and those who say, 'It is fragrant; draw it out'; and those who attend upon the horse's meat-offering—let their share come to us.
1.162.13
यन्नीक्ष॑णं माँ॒स्पच॑न्या उ॒खाया॒ या पात्रा॑णि यू॒ष्ण आ॒सेच॑नानि ।
ऊ॒ष्म॒ण्या॑पि॒धाना॑ चरू॒णाम॒ङ्काः सू॒नाः परि॑ भूष॒न्त्यश्व॑म् ॥
The outer vessels of the meat-cooking pot, the vessels for pouring the broth, the steaming covers, the hooks of the cooked portions, and the rods that are like sons — these adorn the horse.
1.162.14
नि॒क्रम॑णं नि॒षद॑नं वि॒वर्त॑नं॒ यच्च॒ पड्बी॑श॒मर्व॑तः ।
यच्च॑ प॒पौ यच्च॑ घा॒सिं ज॒घास॒ सर्वा॒ ता ते॒ अपि॑ दे॒वेष्व॑स्तु ॥
Its going forth, its sitting down, its turning about, the hoof-piece of the horse, what it drank, and what grass it ate—let all of that be yours; let it also be among the gods.
1.162.15
मा त्वा॒ग्निर्ध्व॑नयीद्धू॒मग॑न्धि॒र्मोखा भ्राज॑न्त्य॒भि वि॑क्त॒ जघ्रिः॑ ।
इ॒ष्टं वी॒तम॒भिगू॑र्तं॒ वष॑ट्कृतं॒ तं दे॒वासः॒ प्रति॑ गृभ्ण॒न्त्यश्व॑म् ॥
Let not the smoke-scented Agni make you roar, nor the shining cooking-pot scorch you; the gods accept that horse which has been sacrificed, sprinkled, and offered with the call vaṣaṭ.
1.162.16
यदश्वा॑य॒ वास॑ उपस्तृ॒णन्ति॑ अधीवा॒सं या हिर॑ण्यान्यस्मै ।
सं॒दान॒मर्व॑न्तं॒ पड्बी॑शं प्रि॒या दे॒वेष्वा या॑मयन्ति ॥
When they spread out garments for the horse, an upper cover, and the gold ornaments for him, they bring the tethered, hobbled horse, dear, near to the gods.
1.162.17
यत्ते॑ सा॒दे मह॑सा॒ शूकृ॑तस्य॒ पार्ष्ण्या॑ वा॒ कश॑या वा तु॒तोद॑ ।
स्रु॒चेव॒ ता ह॒विषो॑ अध्व॒रेषु॒ सर्वा॒ ता ते॒ ब्रह्म॑णा सूदयामि ॥
In your seat, by the might of the well-made sacrifice, whatever was struck at you with the heel or with the whip, all of that I set right for you with the prayer, as with the ladle of the oblation.
1.162.18
चतु॑स्त्रिंशद्वा॒जिनो॑ दे॒वब॑न्धो॒र्वङ्क्री॒रश्व॑स्य॒ स्वधि॑तिः॒ समे॑ति ।
अच्छि॑द्रा॒ गात्रा॑ व॒युना॑ कृणोत॒ परु॑ष्परुरनु॒घुष्या॒ वि श॑स्त ॥
Thirty-four curved parts of the strong, god-bound horse the axe joins one by one. Keep his limbs unbroken with the wind; separate joint from joint and set them out.
1.162.19
एक॒स्त्वष्टु॒रश्व॑स्या विश॒स्ता द्वा य॒न्तारा॑ भवत॒स्तथ॑ ऋ॒तुः ।
या ते॒ गात्रा॑णामृतु॒था कृ॒णोमि॒ ताता॒ पिण्डा॑नां॒ प्र जु॑होम्य॒ग्नौ ॥
One is the consecrator of Tvaṣṭar's horse; two are its restrainers, as the season requires. The portions of your limbs that I arrange in due order, those pieces I offer into the fire.
1.162.20
मा त्वा॑ तपत्प्रि॒य आ॒त्मापि॒यन्तं॒ मा स्वधि॑तिस्त॒न्व॑ आ ति॑ष्ठिपत्ते ।
मा ते॑ गृ॒ध्नुर॑विश॒स्ताति॒हाय॑ छि॒द्रा गात्रा॑ण्य॒सिना॒ मिथू॑ कः ॥
May the dear life-breath, as you depart, not pierce you; may the axe not rest upon your body. May the greedy one, not the consecrator, not cut your limbs apart with the sword.
1.162.21
न वा उ॑ ए॒तन्म्रि॑यसे॒ न रि॑ष्यसि दे॒वाँ इदे॑षि प॒थिभिः॑ सु॒गेभिः॑ ।
हरी॑ ते॒ युञ्जा॒ पृष॑ती अभूता॒मुपा॑स्थाद्वा॒जी धु॒रि रास॑भस्य ॥
You do not die, nor are you harmed; you go by easy paths to the gods. Your two bay horses, yoked, became two spotted ones; the swift horse stood near the donkey's yoke-pole.
1.162.22
सु॒गव्यं॑ नो वा॒जी स्वश्व्यं॑ पुं॒सः पु॒त्राँ उ॒त वि॑श्वा॒पुषं॑ र॒यिम् ।
अ॒ना॒गा॒स्त्वं नो॒ अदि॑तिः कृणोतु क्ष॒त्रं नो॒ अश्वो॑ वनतां ह॒विष्मा॑न् ॥
Grant us wealth rich in good cattle and swift good horses; grant us sons of men and wealth that nourishes all. May Aditi make us free of bodily harm; may she give us strength, and may the horse rich in oblations grant us victory.
