Transliteration

yuvā́ṃ yajñáiḥ prathamā́ góbhir añjata ṛtā́vānā mánaso ná práyuktiṣu | bháranti vāṃ mánmanā saṃyátā gíro ádṛpyatā mánasā revád āśāthe ||

Translation

Euch beide salben zuerst die Opfergaben und die Strahlen der Erleuchtung – Hüter des ṛta –, wie der Geist in seinen rechten Anspannungen. Zu euch tragen die gezügelten Gesänge die inneren Gestaltungen; mit einem Geist, frei von Rausch und Irrtum, gewährt ihr die Fülle, reich und lichtvoll.
