Sukta 5
स॒मु॒द्रं वः॒ प्र हि॑णोमि॒ स्वां योनि॒मपी॑तन । अरि॑ष्टाः॒ सर्व॑हायसो॒ मा च॑ नः॒ किं च॒नाम॑मत्
samudráṁ vaḥ prá hiṇomi svā́ṁ yóniṁ apī́tan | áriṣṭāḥ sárvahāyaso mā́ ca naḥ kíṁ canā́mamat ||
To the ocean I send you forth, unto your own proper womb: go ye and rest there. Unharmed, with every failing left behind—let naught whatsoever injure us.
मैं तुम्हे समुंदर की तरफ भेज रहा हूँ। वहाँ तुम्हारा अपना घर है, वहाँ जाके रेस्ट करो। तुम किसी तरह की हानि के बिना वापस आना। तुम्हारा कोई भी दोष नहीं होना चाहिए। हमें कोई भी चीज़ नुकसान न पहुँचे।
