सम॑ध्व॒रायो॒षसो॑ नमन्त दधि॒क्रावे॑व॒ शुच॑ये प॒दाय॑ । अ॒र्वा॒ची॒नं व॑सु॒विदं॒ भगं॑ नो॒ रथ॑मि॒वाश्वा॑ वा॒जिन॒ आ व॑हन्तु
Transliteration
sám adhvarā́yóṣaso namanta dadhikrā́veva śúcaye padā́ya | arvācīnáṁ vasuvídaṁ bhágaṁ no rátham ivā́śvā vājína ā́ vahantu
Translation
যজ্ঞের উদ্দেশ্যে উষাগণ একসঙ্গে নত হন, যেমন দধিক্রাবন উজ্জ্বল পদপথের দিকে। ধন-অন্বেষী, বসু-বিদ্ ভগ আমাদের দিকে অভিমুখ হয়ে আসুন; যেমন অশ্বেরা, যেমন বেগবান বাজিনেরা, রথের ন্যায় তাঁকে নিকটে বহন করে আনুক।
