Sukta 4
आ यात पितरः सोम्यासो गम्भीरैः पथिभिः पितृयाणैः । आयुरस्मभ्यं दधतः प्रजां च रायश्च पोषैरभि नः सचध्वम्
ā́ yāta pitaraḥ somyā́so gambhīráiḥ pathíbhiḥ pitṛyā́naiḥ | ā́yur asmábhyaṃ dádhataḥ prajā́ṃ ca rā́yaś ca póṣair abhí naḥ sacadhvam ||
Come hither, O Fathers, soma-loving, by the deep paths, the Fathers’ ways. Bestowing upon us life and progeny, with wealth and with prosperings—cleave ye unto us.
هلمّوا إلينا، أيها الآباء (Pitṛ)، يا محبّي السُّوما، عبر السُّبُل العميقة، سُبُل الآباء. واهبين لنا العمرَ والذرّيةَ، ومع الثروةِ ومع أسبابِ النماء—التحموا بنا ولازمونا.
