Sukta 55
ग्री॒ष्मो हे॑म॒न्तः शिशि॑रो वस॒न्तः श॒रद् व॒र्षाः स्वि॒ते नो॑ दधात । आ नो॒ गोषु॒ भज॒ता प्र॒जायां॑ निवा॒त इद् वः॑ शर॒णे स्या॑म
grīṣmó hémantaḥ śiśiró vasantáḥ śarád varṣā́ḥ svité no dadhāta | ā́ no góṣu bhajata prajā́yāṃ nivā́ta íd vaḥ śaráṇe syāma
Summer and Winter, Cold-season and Spring, Autumn and the Rains—graciously bestow on us (your gifts). Deal out to us among cattle, deal out in progeny; in your windless shelter, yea, in refuge may we abide.
गर्मी की सर्दी की ठंडी की बसंत, यह सब मौसम हम पे अपनी कृपा करें। हमें गाय-भैंस में हिस्सा दो, बच्चों में भी हिस्सा दो। आपकी हवा नहीं चलती जहाँ, उस पनाह में हम रह जाएँ।
