Sukta 4
अपूपवान् द्रप्सवांश्चरुरेह सीदतु । लोककृतः पथिकृतो यजामहे ये देवानां हुतभागा इह स्थ
apūpavā́n drapsavā́ṁś carúr eha sī́datu | lokakŕ̥taḥ pathikŕ̥to yajāmahe yé devā́nāṁ hutabhā́gā ihá stha ||
Let the cooked oblation, furnished with cake and rich in drops of essence, sit down here. We sacrifice unto the World-makers, the Path-makers—those who, of the Gods, possess a share in the offered gift—be ye here present.
فَلْتَجْلِسْ هاهُنا «التَّقْدِمَةُ المَطْبُوخَةُ» (caru)، مُقْتَرِنَةً بِـ«الأَبُوبَا» (apūpa: كَعْكُ القُرْبَان) وغَنِيَّةً بِقَطَرَاتِ الجَوْهَرِ. نُقِيمُ اليَجْنَا لِصَانِعِي العَوَالِمِ، لِصَانِعِي السُّبُلِ—أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَهُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ الآلِهَةِ نَصِيبٌ فِي القُرْبَانِ المُقَدَّم—فَكُونُوا هاهُنا حَاضِرِينَ.
