Sanskrit Original
जा॒तवे॑दसे सुनवाम॒ सोम॑मरातीय॒तो नि द॑हाति॒ वेदः॑ । स नः॑ पर्ष॒दति॑ दु॒र्गाणि॒ विश्वा॑ ना॒वेव॒ सिन्धुं॑ दुरि॒तात्य॒ग्निः
jātavedase sunavāma somamarātīyato ni dahāti vedaḥ sa naḥ parṣadati durgāṇi viśvā nāveva sindhuṃ duritātyagniḥ
Jātavedas, the invigorating Soma, the knower of birth, the burning insight kindles the Veda. He clears away for us difficult passes and, like a ship over the ocean, Agni traverses the sea of troubles.
We offer oblations of Soma to Jātavedas, may he consume the wealth of those who feel enmity against us; may he transport us over all difficulties; may Agni convey us, as in a boat over a river, across all wickedness.
FOR Jatavedas let us press the Soma: may he consume the wealth of the malignant. May Agni carry us through all our troubles, through grief as in a boat across the river.
