Sukta 24

राष्ट्रम्। येन॑ दे॒वं स॑वि॒तारं॒ परि॑ दे॒वा अधा॑रयन्। तेने॒मं ब्र॑ह्मणस्पते॒ परि॑ रा॒ष्ट्राय॑ धत्तन

Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 19.24.1

rā́ṣṭram | yéna deváṃ savitā́raṃ pári devā́ adhā́rayan | ténémaṃ brahmaṇas-pate pári rāṣṭrā́ya dhattana

The Realm: wherewith the Gods encompassed and upheld the god Savitṛ—therewith, O Lord of Prayer, encompass and set this man for the realm.

जैसे देवताओं ने सूर्य को चारों तरफ से पकड़ा था, वैसे ही ब्रह्मणस्पति तुम्हारे लिए भी करो। यह प्रार्थना है कि भगवान इस आदमी को राजपाट के लिए तैयार करें। उसको राज गद्दी पर बिठा दें।
