Sukta 3
यद् वो॑ मु॒द्रं पि॑तरः सो॒म्यं च॒ तेनो॑ सचध्वं॒ स्वय॑शसो॒ हि भू॒त। ते अ॑र्वाणः कवय॒ आ शृ॑णोत सुविद॒त्रा वि॒दथे॑ हू॒यमा॑नाः
yád vo mudráṃ pitaraḥ somyáṃ ca ténó sacadhvaṃ sváyaśaso hí bhū́ta | té arvāṇaḥ kaváya ā́ śṛṇota suvidatrā́ vidáthe hūyámānāḥ ||
What token, O Fathers, and what Soma-gladdening sign is yours—therewith consort ye, for ye are of self-won glory. Ye swift ones, ye sages, hearken hither, good givers, being called in the rite-assembly.
पित्रो, तुम अपना कोई इशारा दिखाओ। सोम के साथ मिलकर आओ, तुम्हारी अपनी खुद की बड़ाई है। तुम सब से जल्दी पहुँचे, सब सुनो। जब पूजा में बुलाया जाए, अच्छा दो।
