Sukta 43
यत्र॑ ब्रह्म॒विदो॒ यान्ति॑ दी॒क्षया॒ तप॑सा स॒ह। अ॒ग्निर्मा॒ तत्र॑ नयत्व॒ग्निर्मे॒धा द॑धातु मे । अ॒ग्नये॒ स्वाहा॑
yátra bráhmavido yā́nti dīkṣáyā tápasā sahá | agnír mā tátra nayatv agnír medhā́ dadhātu me | agnáye svā́hā
Where the knowers of brahman go, with consecration and with austerity—thither let Agni lead me; let Agni set intelligence within me. To Agni—svāhā!
जहाँ ब्रह्म को जानने वाले लोग जाते हैं, वहाँ अग्नि मुझे ले जाए। वो लोग व्रत और तप से तैयार होके जाते हैं। अग्नि मुझे बुद्धि दे। अग्नि को मेरा प्रणाम।
