Sukta 13
आदित् प॑श्याम्यु॒त वा॑ शृणो॒म्या मा॒ घोषो॑ गच्छति॒ वाङ् मा॑साम्। मन्ये॑ भेजा॒नो अ॒मृत॑स्य तर्हि॒ हिर॑ण्यवर्णा॒ अतृ॑पं य॒दा वः॑
ā́d ít paśyāmy utá vā́ śṛṇomy ā́ mā ghóṣo gacchati vā́ṅ mā āsā́m | mányे bhajā́nó amṛ́tasya tárhi híraṇyavarṇā́ átr̥paṁ yadā́ vaḥ
Now, indeed, I see; yea, I hear: to me comes sound—speech comes to me—from these. I deem that then I partake of immortality, O golden-hued ones, when I, erst unsated, have you.
À présent, vraiment, je vois ; oui, j’entends : vers moi vient le son — vers moi vient la parole — de celles-ci. Je pense : alors je prends part à l’immortalité, ô vous aux teintes d’or, lorsque moi, jadis insatié, je vous obtiens.
