Sukta 6
वाजस्य नु प्रसवे मातरं महीमदितिं नाम वचसा करामहे । यस्या उपस्थ उर्व१न्तरिक्षं सा नः शर्म त्रिवरूथं नि यच्छात्

Now, at the setting-forth of strength, the great Mother Aditi—by name—by speech we establish. She in whose lap the wide mid-air is set, may she for us firmly bestow a threefold-guarded shelter.
