Sukta 43
यत्र॑ ब्रह्म॒विदो॒ यान्ति॑ दी॒क्षया॒ तप॑सा स॒ह। ब्र॒ह्मा मा॒ तत्र॑ नयतु ब्र॒ह्मा ब्रह्म॑ दधातु मे । ब्र॒ह्मणे॒ स्वाहा॑
yátra brahmavído yā́nti dīkṣáyā tápasā sahá | brahmā́ mā́ tátra nayatu brahmā́ bráhma dadhātu me | bráhmaṇe svā́hā
Whither the knowers of sacred Brahman go, with consecration and with fervid austerity,—thither let Brahmā lead me; let Brahmā bestow on me the Brahman-power. To Brahman—svāhā.
जहाँ ब्रह्मविद लोग दीक्षा ले के तप के साथ जाते हैं, वहाँ ब्रह्मा मुझे ले जाए। ब्रह्मा मुझे ब्रह्म शक्ति दे। ब्रह्म को स्वाहा।
