Sukta 24

5.24.1-2

अग्ने॒ त्वं नो॒ अंत॑म उ॒त त्रा॒ता शि॒वो भ॑वा वरू॒थ्यः॑ ॥

वसु॑र॒ग्निर्वसु॑श्रवा॒ अच्छा॑ नक्षि द्यु॒मत्त॑मं र॒यिं दाः॑ ॥

ágne tvám naḥ ántamaḥ utá trātā́ śiváḥ bhava varūthyáḥ ǁ

vásuḥ agníḥ vásu-śravāḥ áccha nakṣi dyumát-tamam rayím dāḥ ǁ

O Will, become our inmost inmate, become auspicious to us, become our deliverer and our armour of protection. Thou who art the lord of substance and who of that substance hast the divine knowledge, come towards us, give us its most luminous opulence.

5.24.3-4

स नो॑ बोधि श्रु॒धी हव॑मुरु॒ष्या णो॑ अघाय॒तः स॑मस्मात् ॥

तं त्वा॑ शोचिष्ठ दीदिवः सु॒म्नाय॑ नू॒नमी॑महे॒ सखि॑भ्यः ॥

sáḥ naḥ bodhi śrudhí hávam uruṣyá naḥ agha-yatáḥ samasmāt ǁ

tám tvā śociṣṭha dīdi-vaḥ sumnā́ya nūnám īmahe sákhi-bhyaḥ ǁ

Awake! hear our call! keep us far from all that seeks to turn us to evil. O shining One, O Flame of purest Light, thee for our comrades we desire that even now they may have the bliss and peace.
