2.35.1
उपे॑मसृक्षि वाज॒युर्व॑च॒स्यां चनो॑ दधीत ना॒द्यो गिरो॑ मे ।
अ॒पां नपा॑दाशु॒हेमा॑ कु॒वित्स सु॒पेश॑सस्करति॒ जोषि॑ष॒द्धि ॥
Desiring strength, I have drawn near to Apam Napat; may he take up my speech and my songs. Quick to be invoked, may Apam Napat perhaps make this fair-rited worshipper complete and take delight in him.
2.35.2
इ॒मं स्व॑स्मै हृ॒द आ सुत॑ष्टं॒ मन्त्रं॑ वोचेम कु॒विद॑स्य॒ वेद॑त् ।
अ॒पां नपा॑दसु॒र्य॑स्य म॒ह्ना विश्वा॑न्य॒र्यो भुव॑ना जजान ॥
For him, from the heart, let us speak this well-fashioned formula; perhaps he will know it. Apam Napat, by the might of his greatness, as the lord of the life-giving power, begot all the worlds.
2.35.3
सम॒न्या यन्त्युप॑ यन्त्य॒न्याः स॑मा॒नमू॒र्वं न॒द्यः॑ पृणन्ति ।
तमू॒ शुचिं॒ शुच॑यो दीदि॒वांस॑म॒पां नपा॑तं॒ परि॑ तस्थु॒रापः॑ ॥
Some rivers flow together, others go near; they fill one common bed. Around that bright Apam Napat the waters stood still.
2.35.4
तमस्मे॑रा युव॒तयो॒ युवा॑नं मर्मृ॒ज्यमा॑नाः॒ परि॑ य॒न्त्यापः॑ ।
स शु॒क्रेभिः॒ शिक्व॑भी रे॒वद॒स्मे दी॒दाया॑नि॒ध्मो घृ॒तनि॑र्णिग॒प्सु ॥
Around that youth go charming young women; the cleansing waters go round him. Wealth-bringing to us with his bright flames, he shines in the waters, dripping ghee, the bearer of kindling-wood.
2.35.5
अ॒स्मै ति॒स्रो अ॑व्य॒थ्याय॒ नारी॑र्दे॒वाय॑ दे॒वीर्दि॑धिष॒न्त्यन्न॑म् ।
कृता॑ इ॒वोप॒ हि प्र॑स॒र्स्रे अ॒प्सु स पी॒यूषं॑ धयति पूर्व॒सूना॑म् ॥
For him three undying divine women desire to offer food; as if made, they spread out near in the waters. He drinks the nectar of the first-born sons.
2.35.6
अश्व॒स्यात्र॒ जनि॑मा॒स्य च॒ स्व॑र्द्रु॒हो रि॒षः स॒म्पृचः॑ पाहि सू॒रीन् ।
आ॒मासु॑ पू॒र्षु प॒रो अ॑प्रमृ॒ष्यं नारा॑तयो॒ वि न॑श॒न्नानृ॑तानि ॥
Here, for the birth and the light of the horse, protect the heroes from the malicious and the harm-doers. In the unforgotten strongholds beyond, may those enemies perish, and may untruths perish.
2.35.7
स्व आ दमे॑ सु॒दुघा॒ यस्य॑ धे॒नुः स्व॒धां पी॑पाय सु॒भ्वन्न॑मत्ति ।
सो अ॒पां नपा॑दू॒र्जय॑न्न॒प्स्व॑न्तर्व॑सु॒देया॑य विध॒ते वि भा॑ति ॥
In his own abode, whose good milch-cow is full of sustenance, he eats food. The son of the waters, nourishing food within the waters, shines forth to give wealth to the worshipper.
2.35.8
यो अ॒प्स्वा शुचि॑ना॒ दैव्ये॑न ऋ॒तावाज॑स्र उर्वि॒या वि॒भाति॑ ।
व॒या इद॒न्या भुव॑नान्यस्य॒ प्र जा॑यन्ते वी॒रुध॑श्च प्र॒जाभिः॑ ॥
He who shines widely within the waters, with bright divine radiance, abiding in truth and unwearied; by him other beings are born, and the plants too spring forth with their progeny.
2.35.9
अ॒पां नपा॒दा ह्यस्था॑दु॒पस्थं॑ जि॒ह्माना॑मू॒र्ध्वो वि॒द्युतं॒ वसा॑नः ।
तस्य॒ ज्येष्ठं॑ महि॒मानं॒ वह॑न्ती॒र्हिर॑ण्यवर्णाः॒ परि॑ यन्ति य॒ह्वीः ॥
The son of the waters, rising up, stood in the lap of the crooked (clouds), clothed in lightning. Bearing his supreme greatness, the mighty golden-hued (streams) go round about him.
2.35.10
हिर॑ण्यरूपः॒ स हिर॑ण्यसंदृग॒पां नपा॒त्सेदु॒ हिर॑ण्यवर्णः ।
हि॒र॒ण्यया॒त्परि॒ योने॑र्नि॒षद्या॑ हिरण्य॒दा द॑द॒त्यन्न॑मस्मै ॥
Golden-formed is he, golden-seeing; he indeed is the son of the waters, and his also is the golden hue. From the golden womb, having sat down around, the givers of gold bestow food upon him.
2.35.11
तद॒स्यानी॑कमु॒त चारु॒ नामा॑पी॒च्यं॑ वर्धते॒ नप्तु॑र॒पाम् ।
यमि॒न्धते॑ युव॒तयः॒ समि॒त्था हिर॑ण्यवर्णं घृ॒तमन्न॑मस्य ॥
That beautiful name of his and his hidden form grow, of the grandson of the waters; whom the young women thus kindle together — for the golden-hued one, clarified butter and his food.
2.35.12
अ॒स्मै ब॑हू॒नाम॑व॒माय॒ सख्ये॑ य॒ज्ञैर्वि॑धेम॒ नम॑सा ह॒विर्भिः॑ ।
सं सानु॒ मार्ज्मि॒ दिधि॑षामि॒ बिल्मै॒र्दधा॒म्यन्नैः॒ परि॑ वन्द ऋ॒ग्भिः ॥
For that friend, lowest among many, let us worship with sacrifices, with reverence, with oblations. I thoroughly wipe his summit-stream, I wish to behold him with ornaments, I establish him with foods, I praise him round about with verses.
2.35.13
स ईं॒ वृषा॑ जनय॒त्तासु॒ गर्भं॒ स ईं॒ शिशु॑र्धयति॒ तं रि॑हन्ति ।
सो अ॒पां नपा॒दन॑भिम्लातवर्णो अ॒न्यस्ये॑वे॒ह त॒न्वा॑ विवेष ॥
That bull brought forth the embryo within them; that child suckles it, and they lick it. The grandson of the waters, of unfading colour, entered here with his body as if into another's body.
2.35.14
अ॒स्मिन्प॒दे प॑र॒मे त॑स्थि॒वांस॑मध्व॒स्मभि॑र्वि॒श्वहा॑ दीदि॒वांस॑म् ।
आपो॒ नप्त्रे॑ घृ॒तमन्नं॒ वह॑न्तीः स्व॒यमत्कैः॒ परि॑ दीयन्ति य॒ह्वीः ॥
Standing in this supreme place, shining always with the paths, around him the mighty waters, bearing ghee and food for the grandson, move of their own accord with their flames.
2.35.15
अयां॑समग्ने सुक्षि॒तिं जना॒यायां॑समु म॒घव॑द्भ्यः सुवृ॒क्तिम् ।
विश्वं॒ तद्भ॒द्रं यदव॑न्ति दे॒वा बृ॒हद्व॑देम वि॒दथे॑ सु॒वीराः॑ ॥
O Agni, I have given a good dwelling to the man, and a good offering to the bountiful patrons. All that the gods protect is good; may we, with good heroes, speak of that greatness in the assembly.
