Kanda 1/Sukta 29 (Rise
of the Rashtra)
Brahmanaspati Devata, Vasishtha Rshi
1.
Abhivartena
maninå yenendro abhivåvrdhe.
Tenåsmånbrahmanaspateíbhi råstråya vardhaya.
O Brahmanaspati, lord
of divine vision, master of knowledge and state craft for development, for the
rise and progress of the nation and the republic, pray strengthen and raise us
with that crystal character, jewel wealth and adamantine strength and will by
virtue of which Indra, lord ruler of the world and the spirit of the human
nation, rises to glory.
2.
Abhivrtya
sapatnånabhi yå no aråtayah.
Abhi prtanyantam tisthåbhi yo no durasyati.
O Brahmanaspati, ruler and commander of the human
nation, having surrounded and cornered the adversaries, selfish exploiters,
whoever want to wage war against us, or who hate, envy and want to damage us,
break down their force and power, subdue them and rule over them as part of the
nation.
3.
Abhi
två devah savitåbhi somo avivrdhat.
Abhi två visvå bhutånyabhivarto yathåsasi.
May the self-refulgent
Savita, brilliant sun and the blazing commander of the defence and development
forces, Soma, nation’s spirit of peace and joy and the economic spirit of
security, and all the people and living resources of nature and the mother
land, advance and exalt you so that you may rule in a protective and promotive
style for all.
4.
Abhivarto
abhibhavah sapatnaksayano manih.
Råstråya mahyam badhyatåm sapatnebhyah
paråbhuve.
This spirit of the exalted nation and
this crystal character of the people is the jewel wealth of the republic,
superior to all individual constituents, subduer of jealousies and saboteurs
and destroyer of the negative forces of adversaries. O Brahmanaspati, visionary
high priest of the nation’s law, let it be vested in me as the ruling sceptre
for the common wealth’s progress and for subduing of the adversaries.
5.
Udasau
suryo agådudidam måmakam vacah.
Yathåham satruhoísånyasapatnah sapatnahå.
As the sun there rises in heaven, so does my word of
commitment arise here in the republic, so that with my word and the people’s
commitment and character I may eliminate enmity, subdue adversarial rivalries
and rule with freedom from fear, insecurity and the onslaughts of enemies.
6.
Sapatnaksayano
vrsåbhiråstro visåsahih.
Yathåhamesåm virånåm viråjåni janasya ca.
Eliminator of rivals
and adversaries, strong and magnanimous, I dedicate myself to the nation with
peace, patience and courage so that I may rightfully and righteously rule over
these brave and brilliant leaders and these people to their hopes and
aspirations.
