Sukta 2
सीसे॑ मृड्ढ्वं न॒डे मृ॑ड्ढ्वम॒ग्नौ संक॑सुके च॒ यत्। अथो॒ अव्यां॑ रा॒मायां॑ शी॒र्षक्तिमु॑प॒बर्ह॑णे
sī́se mṛḍḍhvam naḍé mṛ́ḍḍhvam agnáu saṅkásuke ca yát | átho avyā́ṃ rāmā́yāṃ śīrṣáktim upabárhaṇe ||
In lead be ye gracious; in the reed be gracious; in the fire, and in what is in the saṅkasuka. And also in the ewe’s soft wool, in the head-band, upon the pillow’s rest.
Seid gnädig im Blei; seid gnädig im Schilfrohr; im Feuer und in dem, was im saṅkasuka ist. Auch in der weichen Wolle des Mutterschafs, im Kopfband, auf der Lagerung des Kissens.
