Sukta 26
प्र॒ति॒ष्ठे ह्यभ॑वत॒ वसू॑नां॒ प्रवृ॑द्धे देवी सुभगे उरूची । द्यावा॑पृथिवी॒ भव॑तं मे स्यो॒ने ते नो॑ मुञ्चत॒मंह॑सः
pratíṣṭhe hí abhavata vásūnām právr̥ddhe devī́ subháge urū́cī | dyā́vāpṛthivī́ bhavatam me syóne té no muñcatám áṃhasaḥ
For ye have been the firm foundation of riches—ye two goddesses, grown great, fortunate, far-radiant. O Heaven and Earth, be to me a kindly refuge: from anguish and sin do ye release us.
فقد كنتما الأساسَ الراسخَ للثروات—أيتها الإلهتان، وقد ازددتما عِظَماً، سعيدتين، واسعتَي الإشعاع. يا سماءَ وأرضَ، كونا لي ملجأً رحيماً؛ ومن الضيقِ والخطيئة أطلقانا.
