Sukta 4
आकू॑तिं दे॒वीं सु॒भगां॑ पु॒रो द॑धे चि॒त्तस्य॑ मा॒ता सु॒हवा॑ नो अस्तु । यामा॒शामे॑मि॒ केव॑ली॒ सा मे॑ अस्तु॒ विदे॑यमेनां॒ मन॑सि॒ प्रवि॑ष्टाम्
ākū́tiṃ devī́ṃ subhágāṃ puró dadhe cittásya mātā́ suhávā no astu | yā́m āśā́m emi kévalī sā́ me astu vidéyam enāṃ mánasi práviṣṭām ||
The Goddess Intention, auspicious and fair-portioned, I set in front: the Mother of thought—may she be for us easy to invoke. What hope I follow, let that be wholly mine; may I win her, entered and established within my mind.
मैं इच्छा देवी को आगे रख रहा हूँ, जो अच्छी है और सब देती है। यह सोच की माँ है, इस्से आसान से बुलाया जा सके। जो उम्मीद मैं रखता हूँ, वो पूरी हो। वो मेरे मन में आ के बैठ जाए।
