Medha Suktam PDF

ॐ यश्छन्दसामृषभो विश्वरूपः। छन्दोभ्योऽध्यमृतात्सम्बभूव। स मेन्द्रो मेधया स्पृणोतु। अमृतस्य देवधारणो भूयासम्॥

Om yaśchandasāmṛṣabho viśvarūpaḥ; chandobhyo'dhyamṛtātsambabhūva; sa mendro medhayā spṛṇotu; amṛtasya devadhāraṇo bhūyāsam.

Om. He who is the foremost (the bull) among the Vedic metres, of universal form, who arose out of the immortal Omkara — may that Indra strengthen me with intellect; may I become a bearer of the immortal divine knowledge.

शरीरं मे विचर्षणम्। जिह्वा मे मधुमत्तमा। कर्णाभ्यां भूरि विश्रुवम्। ब्रह्मणः कोशोऽसि मेधया पिहितः। श्रुतं मे गोपाय॥ ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः॥

Śarīraṃ me vicarṣaṇam; jihvā me madhumattamā; karṇābhyāṃ bhūri viśruvam; brahmaṇaḥ kośo'si medhayā pihitaḥ; śrutaṃ me gopāya. Om śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ.

May my body be vigorous; may my tongue be most sweet; may I hear abundantly with my ears. You are the sheath of Brahman, veiled by intellect — guard for me what I have learned. Om peace, peace, peace.

ॐ मेधादेवी जुषमाणा न आगाद्विश्वाची भद्रा सुमनस्यमाना। त्वया जुष्टा नुदमाना दुरुक्तान्बृहद्वदेम विदथे सुवीराः॥

Om medhādevī juṣamāṇā na āgādviśvācī bhadrā sumanasyamānā; tvayā juṣṭā nudamānā duruktānbṛhadvadema vidathe suvīrāḥ.

Om. May the goddess Medha (intellect), well-pleased, all-pervading, auspicious and gracious, come to us. Favoured by you and casting off harsh speech, may we, blessed with worthy offspring, speak loftily in the assembly.

त्वया जुष्ट ऋषिर्भवति देवि त्वया ब्रह्माऽऽगतश्रीरुत त्वया। त्वया जुष्टश्चित्रं विन्दते वसु सा नो जुषस्व द्रविणो न मेधे॥

Tvayā juṣṭa ṛṣirbhavati devi tvayā brahmā''gataśrīruta tvayā; tvayā juṣṭaśchitraṃ vindate vasu sā no juṣasva draviṇo na medhe.

Favoured by you, O Goddess, a man becomes a seer; by you the knower of Brahman attains glory; by you he finds wondrous wealth. Therefore be gracious to us, O Medha, like a treasure that does not fail.

मेधां म इन्द्रो ददातु मेधां देवी सरस्वती। मेधां मे अश्विनावुभावाधत्तां पुष्करस्रजा॥

Medhāṃ ma indro dadātu medhāṃ devī sarasvatī; medhāṃ me aśvināvubhāvādhattāṃ puṣkarasrajā.

May Indra grant me intellect; may Goddess Saraswati grant me intellect; may both the lotus-garlanded Ashvini Kumaras bestow intellect upon me.

अप्सरासु च या मेधा गन्धर्वेषु च यन्मनः। दैवीं मेधा सरस्वती सा मां मेधा सुरभिर्जुषतां स्वाहा॥

Apsarāsu ca yā medhā gandharveṣu ca yanmanaḥ; daivīṃ medhā sarasvatī sā māṃ medhā surabhirjuṣatāṃ svāhā.

The intellect that is in the Apsaras, and the mind that is in the Gandharvas, and the divine intellect that is Saraswati — may that fragrant Medha take delight in me. Svaha.

आ मां मेधा सुरभिर्विश्वरूपा हिरण्यवर्णा जगती जगम्या। ऊर्जस्वती पयसा पिन्वमाना सा मां मेधा सुप्रतीका जुषताम्॥

Ā māṃ medhā surabhirviśvarūpā hiraṇyavarṇā jagatī jagamyā; ūrjasvatī payasā pinvamānā sā māṃ medhā supratīkā juṣatām.

May Medha, fragrant, of universal form, golden-hued, moving through the worlds, full of vigour and swelling with nourishing waters — may that fair-faced Medha be pleased to dwell in me.

मयि मेधां मयि प्रजां मय्यग्निस्तेजो दधातु। मयि मेधां मयि प्रजां मयीन्द्र इन्द्रियं दधातु। मयि मेधां मयि प्रजां मयि सूर्यो भ्राजो दधातु॥

Mayi medhāṃ mayi prajāṃ mayyagnistejo dadhātu; mayi medhāṃ mayi prajāṃ mayīndra indriyaṃ dadhātu; mayi medhāṃ mayi prajāṃ mayi sūryo bhrājo dadhātu.

In me may Agni place intellect, progeny and lustre; in me may Indra place intellect, progeny and vital power; in me may Surya place intellect, progeny and radiance.

ॐ महादेव्यै च विद्महे ब्रह्मपत्नी च धीमहि। तन्नो वाणी प्रचोदयात्॥ ॐ हंस हंसाय विद्महे परमहंसाय धीमहि। तन्नो हंसः प्रचोदयात्॥ ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः॥

Om mahādevyai ca vidmahe brahmapatnī ca dhīmahi; tanno vāṇī pracodayāt. Om haṃsa haṃsāya vidmahe paramahaṃsāya dhīmahi; tanno haṃsaḥ pracodayāt. Om śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ.

Om. May we know the Great Goddess, may we meditate upon the Consort of Brahman; may that Goddess of Speech impel us. May we know the Swan (Hamsa), may we meditate upon the Supreme Swan; may that Hamsa impel us. Om peace, peace, peace.
