Mantra 17
Sukta 3
कस्ये मृजाना अति यन्ति रिप्रमायुर्दधानाः प्रतरं नवीयः । आप्यायमानाः प्रजया धनेनाध स्याम सुरभयो गृहेषु
kásye imé mṛjānā́ áti yanti riprám āyúr dádhānāḥ prataráṁ návīyaḥ | āpyā́yamānāḥ prajā́yā dhanénā́dha syāma surabháyo gṛhéṣu
Whose are these who, cleansing them, pass beyond defilement, bearing life, onward to a newer furtherance? Thriving with offspring and with wealth—then may we be fragrant of fortune within our homes.
এরা কার, যারা (মলিনতা) শোধন করতে করতে কলুষ অতিক্রম করে যায়, আয়ু ধারণ করে, আরও নবতর অগ্রগতির দিকে? প্রজা ও ধনে পুষ্ট হয়ে—তখন আমরা গৃহে গৃহে সৌভাগ্যের সুগন্ধে ভরপুর হই।
