ॐ यज्ञेन यज्ञमयजन्त देवास्तानि धर्माणि प्रथमान्यासन् ।
ते ह नाकं महिमानः सचन्त यत्र पूर्वे साध्याः सन्ति देवाः ॥ १ ॥
om yajnena yajnamayajanta devastani dharmani prathamanyasan |
te ha nakam mahimanah sachanta yatra purve sadhyah santi devah || 1 ||
देवांनी यज्ञानेच यज्ञाचे यजन केले; तेच पहिले धर्म ठरले. ते महिमावान स्वर्गाला पोहोचले, जेथे प्राचीन साध्य देव राहतात.
देवताओं ने यज्ञ से ही यज्ञ का यजन किया; वे ही प्रथम धर्म थे। वे महिमावान स्वर्ग को प्राप्त हुए, जहाँ पूर्व के साध्य देव निवास करते हैं।
With the sacrifice the gods sacrificed to the sacrifice; these were the first ordinances. These powers reached the vault of heaven, where the ancient Sādhyas, the gods, abide.

Ṛgveda 10.90.16, the last verse of the Puruṣa Sūkta, which is in the library with its accents; the same verse is Ṛgveda 1.164.50. In the Puruṣa Sūkta the gods offer the cosmic Person in sacrifice, and from that offering the world is made; this verse says that the sacrifice was the first of all ordinances. The Sādhyas are a class of ancient gods. The ॐ is added in recitation.
ॐ राजाधिराजाय प्रसह्यसाहिने । नमो वयं वैश्रवणाय कुर्महे ।

राजांचा राजा, बलाने जिंकणारा अशा वैश्रवणाला आम्ही नमस्कार करतो. कामनांचा स्वामी वैश्रवण, कामना करणाऱ्या मला माझ्या कामना देवो. वैश्रवण कुबेराला, महाराजाला नमस्कार.
राजाओं के राजा, बलपूर्वक जीतने वाले वैश्रवण को हम नमस्कार करते हैं। कामनाओं के स्वामी वैश्रवण मुझ कामना करने वाले को मेरी कामनाएँ प्रदान करें। वैश्रवण कुबेर, महाराज को नमस्कार।
To the king of kings, who conquers by force, to Vaiśravaṇa, we pay homage. May he, Vaiśravaṇa, lord of desires, grant me my desires, for I desire [their fulfilment]. To Kubera Vaiśravaṇa, the great king, homage.

Taittirīya Āraṇyaka 1.31.6, where these lines close a rite of offering to Vaiśravaṇa. Vaiśravaṇa, ‘son of Viśravas’, is Kubera, lord of wealth. The Āraṇyaka writes प्रसह्यसाहिने as one word; some printings divide it, प्रसह्य साहिने. The ॐ is added in recitation.

कल्याण असो! [याला] साम्राज्य, भोग, स्वराज्य, वैराज्य, पारमेष्ठ्य, राज्य, महाराज्य आणि आधिपत्य [प्राप्त होवो]; हा सर्व बाजूंचा स्वामी, संपूर्ण भूमीचा अधिपती आणि पूर्ण आयुष्य लाभलेला होवो, आणि एका टोकापासून दुसऱ्या टोकापर्यंत, समुद्रापर्यंतच्या पृथ्वीचा एकमेव राजा होवो.

Well-being! [May he attain] universal sovereignty, enjoyment, self-rule, wide rule, the highest place, kingship, great kingship and overlordship; may this one be lord of all around, ruler of all the land, living his full span, from the end to the farthest end, the one king of the earth bounded by the sea.

Aitareya Brāhmaṇa 8.15. It is what a priest who knows the great consecration of kings (the Aindra mahābhiṣeka) wishes for the king he consecrates with it: that ‘this one’ win every kind of rule, from sāmrājya to ādhipatya. ॐ स्वस्ति, ‘Oṃ, well-being’, is not in the Brāhmaṇa; the pūjā books open the passage with it. The Brāhmaṇa and both Brahmakarma Samuccayas read माहाराज्यम्, given here; a Marathi āratī collection prints महाराज्यम्, and the Goan pūjā book म्हाराज्यम्, with the same meaning. आन्तादा परार्धात्, ‘up to the end, up to the farther half’, is taken by some with the king’s full span of life, by others with the earth that follows.
तदप्येष श्लोकोऽभिगीतो मरुतः परिवेष्टारो मरुत्तस्यावसन्गृहे ।
आविक्षितस्य कामप्रेर्विश्वेदेवाः सभासद इति ॥ ४ ॥
tadapyesha shloko'bhigito marutah pariveshtaro maruttasyavasangrihe |

याविषयी हा श्लोकही गायला गेला आहे: अविक्षिताचा पुत्र, कामना पूर्ण करणारा मरुत्त याच्या घरी मरुद्गण वाढपी म्हणून राहिले, आणि विश्वेदेव त्याच्या सभेचे सभासद होते.
इस विषय में यह श्लोक भी गाया गया है: अविक्षित के पुत्र, कामनाएँ पूर्ण करने वाले मरुत्त के घर में मरुद्गण परोसने वाले होकर रहे, और विश्वेदेव उसकी सभा के सदस्य थे।
On this, too, a verse is sung: ‘In the house of Marutta, son of Avikṣit, who fulfilled [all] desires, the Maruts dwelt as servers [of the feast], and the All-gods sat in his assembly.’

Aitareya Brāhmaṇa 8.21, which lists the kings consecrated with the great consecration: Saṃvarta Āṅgirasa consecrated Marutta Āvikṣita, who then conquered the earth and performed the horse sacrifice, and this verse is quoted in his praise. The Maruts are the storm gods; the All-gods (Viśvedevāḥ) are the gods taken together. कामप्रि, ‘who fulfils desires’, describes Marutta. The Brāhmaṇa ends the prose before the verse, अभिगीतः; said aloud, it runs on, अभिगीतो मरुतः. The Brahmakarma Samuccayas continue with यो वै तां ब्रह्मणो वेद, and the Ṛgvedīya one with the gāyatrīs of several deities; the household books end the four parts here.
