Aghamarshana Suktam

Aghamarshana Suktam

हिरण्यशृङ्गं वरुणं प्रपद्ये तीर्थं मे देहि याचितः । यन्मया भुक्तमसाधूनां पापेभ्यश्च प्रतिग्रहः । यन्मे मनसा वाचा कर्मणा वा दुष्कृतं कृतम् । तन्न इन्द्रो वरुणो बृहस्पतिः सविता च पुनन्तु पुनः पुनः । नमोऽग्नयेऽप्सुमते नम इन्द्राय नमो वरुणाय नमो वारुण्यै नमोऽद्भ्यः ॥

English Meaning: I surrender to Lord Varuna, the golden-horned divine being. O Varuna, grant me purification and the sacred path that I seek. Whatever impurities I have consumed, whatever improper gifts I have accepted, and whatever wrong actions I have committed through my mind, speech, or deeds, may Indra, Varuna, Brihaspati, and Savita purify me again and again. I offer my salutations to Agni who dwells in the waters, to Indra, Varuna, Varuni, and all sacred waters.

यदपां क्रूरं यदमेध्यं यदशान्तं तदपगच्छतात् । अत्याशनादतीपानाद्यच्च उग्रात्प्रतिग्रहात् । तन्नो वरुणो राजा पाणिना ह्यवमर्शतु । सोऽहमपापो विरजो निर्मुक्तो मुक्तकिल्बिषः । नाकस्य पृष्ठमारुह्य गच्छेद् ब्रह्मसलोकताम् । यश्चाप्सु वरुणः स पुनात्वघमर्षणः ॥

English Meaning: May all harmful, impure, and disturbing influences leave me. Whatever impurity has come from excessive eating, excessive drinking, or improper acceptance of things, may King Varuna remove it with his divine hand. May I become free from sin, pure, liberated, and cleansed from all faults. May I rise to the higher spiritual realm and attain the world of Brahman. May Varuna, who resides in the waters, purify me completely.

इमं मे गङ्गे यमुने सरस्वति शुतुद्रि स्तोमं सचता परुष्णिया । असिक्न्या मरुद्वृधे वितस्तया आर्जीकीये शृणुह्या सुषोमया ॥

English Meaning: O sacred rivers Ganga, Yamuna, Sarasvati, Shutudri, Parushni, Asikni, Marudvridha, Vitasta, Arjikiya, and Sushoma, hear this sacred prayer and accept my invocation. May your divine powers purify and bless me.

ऋतं च सत्यं चाभीद्धात्तपसोऽध्यजायत । ततो रात्रिरजायत ततः समुद्रो अर्णवः ॥

English Meaning: From divine austerity arose Cosmic Order (Rita) and Truth (Satya). From them emerged the night, and thereafter the vast cosmic ocean came into existence.

समुद्रादर्णवादधि संवत्सरो अजायत । अहोरात्राणि विदधद्विश्वस्य मिषतो वशी । सूर्याचन्द्रमसौ धाता यथा पूर्वमकल्पयत् । दिवं च पृथिवीं चान्तरिक्षमथो सुवः ॥

English Meaning: From the cosmic ocean arose the cycle of time. The Creator established days and nights and governs the entire universe. He created the Sun and Moon according to the eternal order and arranged heaven, earth, atmosphere, and the higher worlds.

यत्पृथिव्यां रजः स्वमान्तरिक्षे विरोदसी । इमांस्तदापो वरुणः पुनात्वघमर्षणः ॥

English Meaning: Whatever impurities exist on earth, in the atmosphere, and throughout the cosmic regions, may the sacred waters and Lord Varuna purify them and remove all sins.

पुनन्तु वसवः पुनातु वरुणः पुनात्वघमर्षणः । एष भूतस्य मध्ये भुवनस्य गोप्ता । एष पुण्यकृतां लोकानेष मृत्योर्हिरण्मयम् । द्यावापृथिव्योर्हिरण्मयं संसृतं सुवः ॥

English Meaning: May the Vasus purify us. May Varuna purify us. May the remover of sins cleanse us completely. He is the protector of all beings and guardian of the universe. He grants the worlds attained by righteous actions and represents the immortal golden reality beyond death.

सनः सुवः संसिशाधि । आर्द्रं ज्वलति ज्योतिरहमस्मि । ज्योतिर्ज्वलति ब्रह्माहमस्मि । योऽहमस्मि ब्रह्माहमस्मि । अहमस्मि ब्रह्माहमस्मि । अहमेवाहं मां जुहोमि स्वाहा ॥

English Meaning: May the Supreme light bless and guide us. I am the radiant consciousness that shines within. The divine light shines, and I am Brahman. My true Self is Brahman itself. I offer myself into the sacred fire of divine knowledge.

अकार्यकार्यवकीर्णीस्तेनो भ्रूणहा गुरुतल्पगः । वरुणोऽपामघमर्षणस्तस्मात्पापात्प्रमुच्यते ॥

English Meaning: Those who have committed wrong actions, theft, grave sins, or violations of sacred principles are purified through the grace of Varuna, the purifier of waters. Through divine purification, one becomes free from the burden of sin.

राजोभूमिस्त्वमां रोदयस्व प्रवदन्ति धीराः । आक्रान्त्समुद्रः प्रथमं विधर्मञ्जनयन् प्रजा भुवनस्य राजा । वृषा पवित्रे अधिसानो अव्ये बृहद् सोमो वावृधे सुवान इन्दुः ॥

English Meaning: The wise declare that divine order governs the universe. The primordial ocean became the foundation of creation and the source from which beings arose. The mighty Soma, purified and strengthened, grows as a symbol of divine energy, immortality, and spiritual illumination.
