Sanskrit Original
वेमि॑ त्वा पूषन्नृ॒ञ्जसे॒ वेमि॒ स्तोत॑व आघृणे । न तस्य॑ वे॒म्यर॑णं॒ हि तद्व॑सो स्तु॒षे प॒ज्राय॒ साम्ने॑
vemi tvā pūṣannṛñjase vemi stotava āghṛṇe na tasya vemyaraṇaṃ hi tadvaso stuṣe pajrāya sāmne
I sprinkle you, Pūṣan, I entice you, I have chosen you with praise. Not for him is the small stallion’s contest—may your dwelling be praised in the Sāman hymn.
I desire, Pūṣan, to propitiate you; I desire, illustrious deity, to glorify you; I desire not (to offer)ungracious praise to any other; (grant riches), bestower of wealth, to him who praises, eulogizes, and glorifiesyou.
Pusan, I long to win thy love, I long to praise thee, Radiant God. Excellent Lord, 'tis strange tome, no wish have I to sing the psalm that Pajra sings.
