Sukta 124
अ॒भ्यञ्ज॑नं सुर॒भि सा समृ॑द्धि॒र्हिर॑ण्यं॒ वर्च॒स्तदु॑ पू॒त्रिम॑मे॒व। सर्वा॑ प॒वित्रा॒ वित॒ताध्य॒स्मत् तन्मा ता॑री॒न्निरृ॑ति॒र्मो अरा॑तिः
abhy-àñjanaṃ surabhí sā samṛ́ddhir híraṇyaṃ várchas tád u pūtrímam evá | sárvā pavítrā vitátādhy asmát tán mā tārīn nírṛtir mó arātíḥ
Fragrant is the unction: that is prosperity; gold is splendor—yea, that is offspring-giving. Let all purifiers be spread above us: let not Nirṛti bear us over; nor let malignity (of foes) [prevail].
यह सुगंधि वाला तेल खुशाल लाता है। सोना चमक देता है और औलाद देता है। साफ करने वाली चीज़ें हमारे ऊपर फैल जाएँ। बुराई हमारे ऊपर न आए, दुश्मन न जीते।
