Rig Veda 6.54

1
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

O Pushan, bring us to the man who knows, who shall direct us straight, And say unto us, It is here.

2
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

May we go forth with Pushan who shall point the houses out to us, And say to us, These same are they.

3
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Unharmed is Pushan's chariot wheel; the box ne'er falleth to the ground, Nor doth the loosened felIy shake.

4
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Pushan forgetteth not the man who serveth him with offered gift: That man is first to gather wealth.

5
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

May Pushan follow near our kine; may Pushan keep our horses safe: May Pushan gather gear for us.

6
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Follow the kine of him who pours libations out and worships thee; And ours who sing thee songs of praise.

7
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Let none be lost, none injured, none sink in a pit and break a limb. Return with these all safe and sound.

8
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Pushan who listens to our prayers, the Strong whose wealth is never lost, The Lord of riches, we implore.

9
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

Secure in thy protecting care, O Pushan, never may we fail. We here are they who sing thy praise.

10
English · Ralph T. H. Griffith

From out the distance, far and wide, may Pushan stretch his right hand forth, And drive our lost again to us.
