Atharva Veda
Morning invocation to various gods, especially Bhaga
prātar agniṃ prātar indram havāmahe prātar mitrāvaruṇā prātar aśvinā prātar bhagaṃ pūṣaṇaṃ brahmaṇaspatiṃ prātaḥ somam uta rudraṃ havāmahe
Morning invocation to various gods, especially Bhaga
Early (prātár) do we call Agni, early Indra, early Mitra-and-Varuṇa, early the (two) Açvins, early Bhaga, Pūshan, Brahmaṇaspati, early Soma and Rudra do we call.
prātarjitaṃ bhagam ugram havāmahe vayaṃ putram aditer yo vidhartā ādhraś cid yaṃ manyamānas turaś cid rājā cid yaṃ bhagaṃ bhakṣīty āha
The early-conquering formidable Bhaga do we call, the son of Aditi who is disposer (vidhartár), to whom every one that thinks himself weak [or] strong, ⌊to whom even the king⌋ says: "apportion [me] a portion."
bhaga praṇetar bhaga satyarādho bhagemāṃ dhiyam ud avā dadan naḥ bhaga pra ṇo janaya gobhir aśvair bhaga pra nṛbhir nṛvantaḥ syāma
O Bhaga, conductor, Bhaga, thou of true bestowal, Bhaga, help upward this prayer (dhī́), giving to us; O Bhaga, cause us to multiply with kine, with horses, O Bhaga, with men,—rich in men may we be.
utedānīṃ bhagavantaḥ syāmota prapitva uta madhye ahnām utoditau maghavant sūryasya vayaṃ devānāṃ sumatau syāma
Both now may we be fortunate (bhágavant), and in the advance (? prapitvá) and in the middle of the days; and, O bounteous one, at the up-going of the sun, may we be in the favor of the gods.
bhaga eva bhagavāṁ astu devas tenā vayaṃ bhagavantaḥ syāma taṃ tvā bhaga sarva ij johavīmi sa no bhaga puraetā bhaveha
Let the god Bhaga himself be fortunate; through him may we be fortunate; on thee here, Bhaga, do I call entire; do thou, O Bhaga, be our forerunner here.
sam adhvarāyoṣaso namanta dadhikrāveva śucaye padāya arvācīnaṃ vasuvidaṃ bhagaṃ me ratham ivāśvā vājina ā vahantu
The dawns submit themselves (? sam-nam) to the sacrifice (adhvará), as Dadhikrāvan to the bright place; hitherward let them convey for me Bhaga, acquirer of good things, as vigorous (vājín) horses a chariot.
aśvāvatīr gomatīr na uṣāso vīravatīḥ sadam ucchantu bhadrāḥ ghṛtaṃ duhānā viśvataḥ prapītā yūyaṃ pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ
Let excellent dawns, rich in horses, rich in kine, rich in heroes, always shine for us, yielding (duh) ghee, on all sides drunk of: do ye protect us ever with well-beings.
