Sukta 128
यद् भ॒द्रस्य॒ पुरु॑षस्य पु॒त्रो भ॑वति दाधृ॒षिः । तद् वि॒प्रो अब्र॑वीदु॒ तद् ग॑न्ध॒र्वः काम्यं॒ वचः॑
yád bhadrásya púruṣasya putró bhávati dādhṛṣíḥ | tád vipró ábravīd u tád gandharváḥ kā́myaṁ vácaḥ ||
When to a prosperous man a son is born, of dauntless spirit—this the inspired priest hath verily proclaimed; this is the Gandharva’s desirable word.
जब किसी अमीर आदमी का बेटा पैदा होता है जो डर्राता नहीं है, यह अच्छी बात है। पंडित ने यह कहा है। गंधर्व ने भी यही बात कही थी।
