Sukta 26
ये उ॒स्रिया॒ बिभृ॒थो ये वन॒स्पती॒न् ययो॑र्वां॒ विश्वा॒ भुव॑नान्य॒न्तः । द्यावा॑पृथिवी॒ भव॑तं मे स्यो॒ने ते नो॑ मुञ्चत॒मंह॑सः
yé usríyā bibhṛ́thaḥ yé vanaspátīn yáyor vā́ṃ víśvā bhúvanāny antáḥ | dyā́vāpṛthivī́ bhavatam me syóne té no muñcatám áṃhasaḥ
Ye who bear the ruddy kine, ye who bear the forest-lords; within you twain are all existences contained. O Heaven and Earth, be to me a kindly refuge: from anguish and sin do ye release us.
Ihr, die ihr die rötlichen Kühe tragt; ihr, die ihr die Herren des Waldes, die Bäume, tragt — in euch beiden sind alle Welten und Wesen enthalten. O Himmel und Erde, seid mir ein gnädiger Zufluchtsort; von Bedrängnis und Schuld löst uns.
