उत माता बृहद्दिवा शृणोतु नस्त्वष्टा देवेभिर्जनिभिः पिता वचः । ऋभुक्षा वाजो रथस्पतिर्भगो रण्वः शंसः शशमानस्य पातु नः ॥

Transliteration

Translation

Und es höre uns die Mutter des weiten Himmels; es nehme Tvaṣṭṛ, der Vater mit den göttergeborenen, unser Wort an. Es mögen Ṛbhukṣan, Vāja, Ratha-spati und Bhaga — der Erfreuende — für uns den Lobpreis, das Bekenntnis dessen behüten, der ringt und in Meisterschaft heranwächst.
