Mantra 1
Sukta 60
अङ्गानि। वाङ् म आसन् नसोः प्राणश्चक्षुरक्ष्णोः श्रोत्रं कर्णयोः । अपलिताः केशा अशोणा दन्ता बहु बाह्वोर्बलम्
aṅgā́ni | vā́ṅ me āsan nasóḥ prāṇáś cákṣur akṣṇóḥ śrótraṃ kárṇayoḥ | apalitā́ḥ kéśā aśóṇā dántā bahú bāhvór bálam ||
Let my members be in sound estate: let breath be in my nostrils, sight in mine eyes, hearing in mine ears; let my hairs be ungreyed, my teeth firm, and in mine arms abundant strength.
मेरे अंग-प्रत्यंग स्वस्थ रहें। मेरी नासिका में प्राण रहे, मेरी आँखों में दृष्टि, मेरे कानों में श्रवण-शक्ति रहे। मेरे केश अपलित (अश्वेत) रहें, मेरे दाँत दृढ़ रहें, और मेरी भुजाओं में बहुत-सा बल रहे।
