Sukta 19
सूर्यो॑ दि॒वोद॑क्राम॒त् तां पुरं॒ प्र ण॑यामि वः । तामा वि॑शत॒ तां प्र वि॑शत॒ सा वः॒ शर्म॑ च॒ वर्म॑ च यच्छतु
sū́ryo divódakrāmat; tā́m púraṃ prá ṇayāmi vaḥ | tā́m ā́ viśata, tā́m prá viśata; sā́ vaḥ śárma ca várma ca yacchatu ||
The Sun from heaven strode forth: that fortress I lead forward unto you. Enter ye into it, enter ye full into it: may she bestow on you both shelter and armour.
सूरज आसमान से निकला। मैं उस किले को तुम्हारे पास ला रहा हूँ। अंदर जाओ, पूरा अंदर जाओ। वो तुम्हे सुरक्षा देगी और बचा लेगी।
