Atharva Veda 19.11.5: Kanda 19, Anuvaka 2, Sukta 11, Mantra 5
Sukta 11
ये दे॒वाना॑मृ॒त्विजो॑ य॒ज्ञिया॑सो॒ मनो॒र्यज॑त्रा अ॒मृता॑ ऋत॒ज्ञाः । ते नो॑ रासन्तामुरुगा॒यम॒द्य यू॒यं पा॑त स्व॒स्तिभिः॒ सदा॑ नः
yé devā́nām ṛtvíjo yajñíyāso mánoḥ yájatrā amṛ́tā ṛtajñā́ḥ | té no rāsantām urugāyám adyá yūyáṃ pāta svastíbhiḥ sádā naḥ ||
Ye who are priests of Gods, worthy of oblation—Manu’s adorable, immortal knowers of the Law—grant us, even to-day, the Wide-going One; and do ye ever guard us with your prospering safeties.
जो देवताओं के पंडित हैं, जो यज्ञ के लायक हैं, जो मनु के वक्त से पूजे जाते हैं, जो अमर हैं और धरम को जानते हैं, वो सब आज हमें बड़ा आशीर्वाद दें। और हमेशा हमारा भला करें, हमें रखें।
