आ नो देवः सविता साविषद्वय ऋजूयते यजमानाय सुन्वते । यथा देवान्प्रतिभूषेम पाकवदा सर्वतातिमदितिं वृणीमहे ॥

ā́ no devaḥ savitā́ sāviṣad váya ṛjúyate yajamānāya sunvaté | yáthā devā́n prati-bhū́ṣema pā́kavad ā́ sarvatā́tim áditiṁ vṛṇīmahe ||

Möge der Gott Savitar für uns die Fülle des Lebens antreiben — für den geradhingehenden Opfernden, der Soma presst. Damit wir, im Bewusstsein gereift, die Götter recht schmücken und ihnen nahen — wir erwählen Aditi, die allumfassende Unversehrtheit.
