Sukta 4
नमस्ते अस्त्वायते नमो अस्तु परायते। नमस्ते प्राण तिष्ठत आसीनायोत ते नमः
námas te astv āyáté námo astu parāyáté | námas te prāṇa tíṣṭhate āsīnā́yóta te námaḥ ||
Homage be unto thee as thou goest forth; homage be unto thee as thou departest. Homage to thee, O Prāṇa, as thou standest; and to thee as thou sittest—yea, homage unto thee.
तुझे नमस्कार—जब तू आगे बढ़ता है; तुझे नमस्कार—जब तू दूर जाता है। हे प्राण, जब तू खड़ा रहता है तब भी तुझे नमस्कार; और जब तू बैठता है तब भी—हाँ, तुझे ही नमस्कार।
Rishi: Atharvanic seer-tradition (Prāṇa-stuti complex)
