Sukta 34
ष॒ य॒ज्ञानां॒ वित॑तो॒ वहि॑ष्ठो विष्टा॒रिणं॑ प॒क्त्वा दि॒वमा विवे॑श । आ॒ण्डीकं॑ कुमु॑दं॒ सं त॑नोति॒ बिसं॑ शा॒लूकं॒ शफ॑को मुला॒ली। ए॒तास्त्वा॒ धारा॒ उप॑ यन्तु॒ सर्वाः॑ स्व॒र्गे लो॒के मधु॑म॒त् पिन्व॑माना॒ उप॑ त्वा तिष्ठन्तु पुष्क॒रिणीः॒ सम॑न्ताः
ṣá yajñā́nāṃ vítato váhiṣṭho viṣṭāríṇaṃ paktvā́ divám ā́ vivéśa | āṇḍī́kaṃ kumúdaṃ sáṃ tanoti bísam śālū́kaṃ śáphako mulā́lī | etā́s tvā dhā́rā úpa yantu sárvāḥ svargé loké mádhumat pínvamānāḥ úpa tvā tiṣṭhantu puṣkaríṇīḥ sámantāḥ
He, best bearer among rites when duly spread abroad, having cooked the Vistārin, hath entered into heaven. Āṇḍīka and Kumuda he spreadeth forth—Bisa, Śālūka, Śaphaka, Mulālī. Let all these streams come nigh to thee, swelling with honeyed sweetness in the heavenly world; let lotus-pools stand about thee on every side.
जो यह खीर पकाता है वो सबसे बड़ा यज्ञ करने वाला बन जाता है। वो सीधा स्वर्ग में जाता है। वहाँ उसे कमल और कुमुद जैसे फूल मिलते हैं। नदियाँ उसके पास आती हैं जो शहद जैसी मीठी हैं। स्वर्ग में हर तरफ कमल के ताल हो जाते हैं उसके आस-पास।
