Sukta 3.54

Rishi: Viśvāmitra Gāthina (traditional for Mandala 3 context)
Devata: Aditi with Ādityas; Maruts; also Parvatas (cosmic supports)
Chandas: Triṣṭubh (probable; confirm by metrical scan)

शृण्वन्तु नो वृषणः पर्वतासो ध्रुवक्षेमास इळया मदन्तः । आदित्यैर्नो अदितिः शृणोतु यच्छन्तु नो मरुतः शर्म भद्रम् ॥

śṛṇvántu no vṛ́ṣaṇaḥ párvatāso dhruvá-kṣemāsa íḷayā́ mádantaḥ | ādityáiḥ no áditiḥ śṛṇotu yácchantu no marútaḥ śárma bhadrám ||

Es mögen uns die starken Berge hören, sich am Strom der Nahrung erfreuend, fest in gesicherter Ruhe. Mit den Ādityas höre uns Aditi; die Maruts mögen uns heilsamen Schutz gewähren — gütigen Beistand auf dem Weg.
