Chapter II – 34 Hymns
1. I perform the yajna in a well dug place, having good air to take the oblations into the space. For havan, I use oblations rectified by ghee. I erect the altar and make it sacred with ghee. Just as water from the rail cleans many objects on earth, I carefull clean all oblations that are put in various ladles for pouring into the agni (fire)
2. Yajnas help in bringing rains. I prepare altar for receiving oblations. I prepare altars for the learned to sit on. May these scholars sing the praises and invite the Earth’s Lord, the world’s Lord, and the Lord of Kings, the almighty God to receive my oblations.
3. The sun, the sustainer of the world by giving heat and energy and the holder of earth, spreads the matter and energy released in the yajna far and wide for the happiness of the universe. Adorable fire (agni), you are the guardian of the worshipper and the yajna. Protect the yajna with your inhalation and exhalation and keep the flame going with firm strength. O Yajna, you are inducer of rain through the power of sun.
4. We try to manifest your glory, O Omniscient, All Illuminating God, the giver of happiness to all, the embodiment of effulgence, and the preacher of yajnas.
5. O yajna, you are productive like spring, which makes trees bloom. The sun does yajna from time immemorial, for unfolding all objects (makes them visible to all). The power and potency of the sun helps people. Just as Vasus, Rudras, and Adityas do and promote the yajna, I also do the yajna for the acquisition of divine qualities. I promise, you, the giver of happiness, pervaded in space.
6. O the sky, full of butter given in oblations in yajnas, be here in this decorated place for yajna with your lovely glory. O space, full of water (vapour) be there in this decorated yajna place with your glory. O earth, the giver of shelter for long periods of time, be there in this decorated yajna place with your glory. May the necessary articles be place in the holy yajna place. O God, please protect those articles, please protect the yajna place, protect the worshipper and protect the conductor of yajna.
7. I kindle the fire, the carrier of all oblations to the sky. The oblations, carried by the fire to the sky in yajna bring water through forces of nature, that gives us food in the proper season. The food provides us the enegry, protects us and gives the strength for victory in war. The yajna fire is responsible for all this. May these water and food, givers of strength and power be in plenty for my use.
8. May I today collect through yajna acquire articles which contribute to comforts and happiness. O God may I never stop performing yajnas. O Lord, please provide me your refuge, that is abundant in riches. This fire is the important component of yajna. Through it only sun and air get gain the benefit of oblations. This benefit resides in space.
9. O God protect the sun and the earth, which protect us and allow to perform yajnas. Just as fire acts an envoy and provides the nourishment to earth and sun by making the benefits of oblation available to them, O Lord protect us. Just as sun combines his light with the light coming through the yajna fires and provides light to heaven and earth, God illuminate us with the light of spiritual knowledge.
10. O God bestow on me spiritual power. May we obtain wealth full of various kinds of splendour, and earthly power. May our desires be fulfilled, may they attain to fruition. Men use the life on this earth and knowledge gain from Vedas to obtain salvation. May these earth and Vedas advise me on my journey to salvation. May God, you as my last resort and refuge instruct me in my effort for salvation.
11. Our digestive system digests by means of gastric juice the food put into the stomach. The food goes into the human body by the quality of attractions and then the body has the ability to retain the food. Our inhalation and exhalation are the forces of purification and permeation by providing air throughout the body. I eat food cooked in fire. I pray to God, who provides the sustenance to me through all the organs and faculties of the organs that he provided to all beings in this universe.
12. O Lord, creator this universe, the Vedas and the learned men talk about the yajna that you did for the sake of Brihaspati and Brahma. Through similar benevolence, please protect my yajna and the performer of my yajna (the head priest) and me.
13. May my active mind understand the requirements of the yajna. May God preserve my unabandonable acquisition of knowledge, which is also a yajna. All the learned persons in the world should rejoice. May the great sound “Om” be chanted by us.
13. May my active mind understand the requirements of the yajna. May God preserve my unabandonable acquisition of knowledge, which is also a yajna. All the learned persons in the world should rejoice. May the great sound “Om” be chanted by us.
14. O God! We praise your glory through vedic hymns. We entreat you to promote our knowledge. O God, advance our soul. You are the controller of activities of all and you’re the storehouse of knowledge. You are the superpowerful person in this universe and you only bring victory to individuals in their battles. Bless us to become prosperous and sing your praises. I become pure and holy by following your commands and directions.
15. May I achieve victory like the victory of fire and moon (Devichand explains; fire refers to the commander of the army and moon refers to a calm and considerate king). I should be able to accumulate materials of war and my people should be able to accumulate materials of war. May the king and military drive off people who hates and whom we detest. Make our people able to remove that sinful enemy in wars using proper military skills and equipment. We should achieve victory like the victory of air and lightning. May air and lightning properly used, drive off our enemies.
May I achieve happiness through the knowledge used for the acquisition of supremacy. I purify ignorant persons by the light of knowledge that I have (I provide knowledge to ignorant persons).
16. We perform the yajna for Vasus, Rudras and Adityas (According to Dayanand Saraswati, Vasus are Agni, Prithvi, Vayu, Antariksha, Aditya, Dyau, Chandrama and Nakshtra. Rudras are Pran, Apan, Vyan, Udan, Saman, Nag, Kurma, Krikal, Devadutta, Dhananjay, and Jeeva. They are all vital breath of person. Adityas are the twelve months.). We make yajnas to keep these things in proper order. The light of the sun and earth bring a person and other things to light. The pran (external air) and udan (internal air) protect persons. Just as birds go to their nests, so let us do daily yajna reciting Gayatri Mantras.
The oblation (ahuti) reaches the space, comes in contact with air and the light of the sun. It then brings as well as comes down as rain for us, which fills streams and promotes plants and flowers.
O fire, agnideva, you protect me from darkness, protect me from my physical eye as well as spiritual eye.
17. O God My I never disobey you. May I never abuse the food, I have got in your creation.
18. May the preachers of the knowledge of Vedas become supreme through knowledge. Let all seekers of truth, devotees of learning and action, attain to happiness. Preach noble words, that bring all kind of joys.
19. O fire and air, you play very important roles in the performance of yajnas. Bring comfort to me. God is near me as he is near to you. I derive happiness from the performance of yajna.
20. O immortal, omnipresent God, protect me from intense pain, protect me form the bondages of sin and ignorance, protect me from the company of evil minded persons, protect me from food injurious to health. Make our food free from poison. Let me live in a comfortable house, praying to you and doing noble deeds. This is our prayer to the lord of the universe. May we get pure knowledge through the Vedas.
21. O god, you are the expounder of knowledge for the learned. Please expound the knowledge unto me. All learned people who sing vedic hymns should master knowledge.
22. May the space is filled with vapours of our oblations all twelve months of the year. May the vapours reach the sun, eight life giving agencies and vital breaths. May the rain come whenever oblations are offered.
23. Yajnas, sacrifices and oblations are for the benefit of all. They are for the happiness of all. Don’t abandon them.
24. May we be endowed with the strong bodies, peaceful and devoted minds that study Vedas and acquire knowledge. May god, the giver of happiness grant us riches and banish each blemish from our body.
25. By means of yajnas we remove men who hate us and whom we despise. (meaning is who have to try to remove hatred by efforts).
26. O god, you are self existent, most excellent and lustrous. Give me knowledge. I follow your directions and commands.
27. O lord of the universe, bless me to become a good householder. Protect my house and be my guardian. Bless me and direct me so that I do my domestic duties without idleness. Bless me to live for hundred years day and night in the presence of God.
28. O Lord of the vows, grant me success in the performance of my vows. I shall undertake vows, which I find myself confident to discharge. I know that I sow what I reap. Bless me to take up fruitful activities.
29. Speak reverentially to the learned, the repositories of knowledge. Speak sweetly and gently to your father, mother, teacher and the students. Deal vigourously with evil minded people in the world.
30. O god remove from this world people filled with evil ambitions and intentions.
31. O god, let the learned be strong, healthy. They should have pleasure as to their capacity and resources.
32. O Fathers, our salutations, our respects, our obeisance! guide us, give us instructions, protect us.
33. Accept your teacher, and always be eager for knowledge so that you may attain manhood with all the required knowledge.
34. O sons (children), please your parents and teachers by offering them various juices, sweet waters, disease-dissipation articles, milk, clarified butter, well cooked food, and juicy fruits. Enjoy you wealth and do not covet the wealth of others.
