Translation
О Lord, you аге the destroyer. Destroy the destroyer. Destroy him who wants to destroy us. Destroy him, whom we try to destroy. (1) Of all gods, you are the greatest bestower of blisses, best purifier, ablest preceptor, most weicome and, therefore, most worthy of worship by the learned. (2)
Note
According to the traditionalists, here the yoke of the cart is addressed to. But it is only belittling the beauty of the mantra. We think that the Lord is addressed here and that makes a better sense. Dhuh, धूर्वतेर्वधकर्मण from the पूर्व, which means to kill, Destroyer. Dhurvantam, him, who is destroying. Vahnitamam वहति प्रापयति यथायोग्यं सुखानि,म वहिन् ; bestower of blisses, the best among such. -Daya. Sasritamam, अतिशयेन शुद्धं शुद्धिकारक च। Absolutely pure as well as purifier. Papritamam, one who fills with all sorts of knowledge; the best among such. Justatamam, जुपी प्रीतिसेवनयोः most beloved; most welcome. Devahutamam, most praised or invoked by the learned (devas). देवः दानात् द्योतनात्,दीपनात् वा - यास्क। Devas as donors are the bounties of Nature. The greatest donor, God, is deva. Learned and enlightened persons are also devas.
