Atharva Veda 3.10.2: Kanda 3, Anuvaka 1, Sukta 10, Mantra 2
Sukta 10
यां दे॒वाः प्र॑ति॒नन्द॑न्ति॒ रात्रिं॑ धे॒नुमु॑पाय॒तीम्। सं॒व॒त्स॒रस्य॒ या पत्नी॒ सा नो॑ अस्तु सुमङ्ग॒ली
yā́m devā́ḥ pratínandanti rā́triṁ dhénum upāyátīm | saṁvatsarásya yā́ patnī́ sā́ no astu sumaṅgalī́ ||
That Night whom Gods with glad acclaim acknowledge, approaching like a milch-cow rich in yielding,—she who is consort of the circling Year,—let her for us be wholly auspicious.
वो रात जिसे देवता खुशी से स्वीकार करते हैं, वो एक गाय जैसी है जो दूध देती है। वो साल की पत्नी है। हमारी दुआ है कि वो हमारे लिए भले लायक हो।
