Sukta 18
प्र॒जाप॑तिं॒ ते प्र॒जन॑नवन्तमृच्छन्तु । ये मा॑घा॒यवो॑ ध्रु॒वाया॑ दि॒शोऽभि॒दासा॑त्
prajā́patiṃ te prajánanavantam r̥cchantu | yé māghāyávo dhrúvāyā diśó’bhidā́sāt |
To thee may they resort—Prajāpati rich in generative might—against those Māghāyus who assail from the steadfast quarter.
प्रजापति भगवान की शरण में जाओ। वो सबका पालन करते हैं। वो तुम्हे उस तरफ के दुश्मनों से बचाएंगे जो पक्के इरादे से आए हैं।
