Sukta 4
सर॑स्वतीं देव॒यन्तो॑ हवन्ते॒ सर॑स्वतीमध्व॒रे ता॒यमा॑ने । सर॑स्वतीं सु॒कृतो॑ हवन्ते॒ सर॑स्वती दा॒शुषे॑ वार्यं॑ दात्
sárasvatīṃ devayánto havante sárasvatīm adhvaré tāyámāne | sárasvatīṃ sukṛ́to havante sárasvatī dāśúṣe vā́ryaṃ dāt ||
Sarasvatī the god-seeking call upon—Sarasvatī in the sacrifice as it is drawn out. Sarasvatī the well-doers call upon: Sarasvatī may give the offerer a choice boon.
Sarasvatī rufen die nach den Göttern Strebenden an; Sarasvatī im Opfer, wenn es in die Länge gezogen (vollzogen) wird. Sarasvatī rufen die Wohltäter an; Sarasvatī möge dem Opfernden eine erwählte Gabe gewähren.
