Sukta 12
व्यच॑स्वतीरुर्वि॒या वि श्र॑यन्तां॒ पति॑भ्यो॒ न जन॑यः॒ शुम्भ॑मानाः । देवी॑र्द्वारो बृहतीर्विश्वमिन्वा दे॒वेभ्यो॑ भवत सुप्राय॒णाः
vyácasvatīr urviyā́ ví śrayantāṃ pátibhyo ná jánayaḥ śúmbhamānāḥ | devī́r dvā́ro bṛhatī́r viśvám-invā devébhyo bhavata suprāyaṇā́ḥ
Wide-opening, broad—let them stand apart, like wives adorning themselves for their lords. O divine Doors, great and all-impelling, become for the gods of happy entrance.
Que se mantengan separadas, de amplia apertura, vastas — como esposas que se engalanan para sus señores. Oh Puertas divinas, grandes, que impulsáis todo, sed para los dioses una entrada de feliz acceso.
