Sukta 41
अ॒पा॒नाय॑ व्या॒नाय॑ प्रा॒णाय॒ भूरि॑धायसे । सर॑स्वत्या उरु॒व्यचे॑ वि॒धेम॑ ह॒विषा॑ व॒यम्
apānā́ya vyānā́ya prāṇā́ya bhū́ridhāyase | sárasvatyā uruvyáce vidhéma havíṣā vayám ||
To Down-breath, to Pervading-breath, to Life-breath, the bounteous disposer; to Sarasvatī of wide-reaching utterance—may we render worship with oblation, even we.
Dem Apāna (Abwärtsatem), dem Vyāna (durchdringender Atem), dem Prāṇa (Lebensatem), dem reichen Spender; Sarasvatī mit weittragender Rede (uruvyacā) — wollen wir Verehrung darbringen mit Opfergabe (havis), wir selbst.
