Sukta 2.39
वातेवाजुर्या नद्येव रीतिरक्षी इव चक्षुषा यातमर्वाक् । हस्ताविव तन्वे शम्भविष्ठा पादेव नो नयतं वस्यो अच्छ ॥
vā́teva ajuryā́ nadyéva rītír akṣī́ iva cákṣuṣā yātam arvā́k | hástāva iva tanvé śáṃbhaviṣṭhā pā́deva no nayataṃ vásyo áccha ||
Come to us swiftly like the wind, like the current of a river; come with sight like two eyes. Like two hands be most auspicious to our body; like two feet lead us toward the better and the more luminous good.
