Sukta 14

स्व॑१र्यन्तो॒ नापे॑क्षन्त॒ आ द्यां रो॑हन्ति॒ रोद॑सी । य॒ज्ञं ये वि॒श्वतो॑धारं॒ सुवि॑द्वांसो वितेनि॒रे

svàr-yántaḥ ná́pekṣante ā́ dyā́m róhanti ródasī | yajñáṃ yé viśvátodhāraṃ su-vidvā́ṃso viténire

Heaven-ward they go, and look not back: they climb unto the sky, the Two Worlds. They who, right-knowing, have stretched the Sacrifice, upheld on every side.

স্বৰ-অভিমুখে গৈ তেওঁলোকে পিছু নাচায়; দ্যাম্‌লৈ—উভয় ৰোদসীলৈ—তেওঁলোকে উঠি যায়। যজ্ঞক যিসকলে সৰ্বদিশে আধাৰিত কৰি, সু-বিদ্বান হৈ, বিস্তাৰ কৰিলে।
