HYMN CLXXXVI. Vāyu. – Rig Veda – Book 10
वात आ वातु भेषजं शम्भु मयोभु नो हर्दे |
पर णायूंषि तारिषत ||
उत वात पितासि न उत भरातोत नः सखा |
स नोजीवातवे कर्धि ||
यददो वात ते गर्हे.अम्र्तस्य निधिर्हितः |
ततो नो देहिजीवसे ||
vāta ā vātu bheṣajaṃ śambhu mayobhu no hṛde |
pra ṇaāyūṃṣi tāriṣat ||
uta vāta pitāsi na uta bhrātota naḥ sakhā |
sa nojīvātave kṛdhi ||
yadado vāta te ghṛhe.amṛtasya nidhirhitaḥ |
tato no dehijīvase ||
English Translation
Translated by Ralph T.H. Griffith
1. FILLING our hearts with health and joy, may Vāta breathe his balm on us
May he prolong our days of life.
2 Thou art our Father, Vāta, yea, thou art a Brother and a friend,
So give us strength that we may live.
3 The store of Amṛta laid away yonder, O Vāta, in thine home,—
Give us thereof that we may live.
