Yajurveda Translation (Dr. Tulsi Ram) - English
Meaning
Give us, we pray, the Brahmanas for education and research, culture and human values; the Kshatriyas for governance, defence and administration; the Vaishyas for economic development, and the Shudras for assistance and labour in the ancillary services. Remove, we pray, the thief roaming in the dark, the murderer bent on lawlessness, the coward disposed to sin, the armed terrorist bent on destruction, the harlot out for pleasure of flesh, and the bastard fond of scandal. Note: In mantras 5-22 in which various aspects of organised life are listed, there is repetition of ‘asuva’ and ‘parasuva’ from mantra 3, which means: ‘Give us, we pray, what is good’, and, ‘Remove, we pray, what is evil’. This is the prayer. Also, there are echoes of ‘havamahe’ from mantra 4, which means: ‘We invoke and develop’, and, ‘we challenge and fight out’. This is the call for action under the divine eye.
