Sukta 63
आयुर्वर्धनम्। उत् ति॑ष्ठ ब्रह्मणस्पते दे॒वान् य॒ज्ञेन॑ बोधय । आयुः॑ प्रा॒णं प्र॒जां प॒शून् की॒र्तिं यज॑मानं च वर्धय
āyúrvardhanam | út tiṣṭha brahmaṇas-pate devā́n yajñéna bodhaya | ā́yuḥ prāṇáṃ prajā́ṃ paśū́n kīrtíṃ yájamānaṃ ca vardhaya
Increase of life! Arise, O Lord of Prayer; with sacrifice awaken the gods. Increase life and breath, offspring and cattle, fame, and the sacrificer besides.
उठ ब्रह्मस्पति, यज्ञ शुरू कर। देवताओं को बुला। हमारी उम्र बढ़ा, साँसें चलती रहें। बच्चे, पैसा, सब कुछ बढ़े। नाम रोशन हो, जो यज्ञ कर रहा है वो भी आगे बढ़े।
