Sukta 61
विश्वस्रष्टा। मह्य॒मापो॒ मधु॑म॒देर॑यन्तां॒ मह्यं॒ सूरो॑ अभर॒ज्ज्योति॑षे॒ कम्। मह्यं॑ दे॒वा उ॒त विश्वे॑ तपो॒जा मह्यं॑ दे॒वः स॑वि॒ता व्यचो॑ धात्
máhyam ā́paḥ mádhu-mad īrayantām máhyaṃ sū́ro abharaj jyótiṣe kám | máhyaṃ devā́ utá víśve tapo-jā́ máhyaṃ deváḥ savitā́ vyácaḥ dhāt
For me let the Waters, honeyed, set their powers in motion; for me the Sun hath brought joy for light. For me the Gods, yea all the Gods born of holy heat; for me may the god Savitṛ establish wide-reaching might.
मेरे लिए पानी अपनी ताकत चलाए, जिसमें मीठापन हो। मेरे लिए सूरज ने रोशनी के लिए खुशी दी है। मेरे लिए सब भगवान, जो तप से पैदा हुए हैं, का आशीर्वाद हो। मेरे लिए सविता भगवान बड़ी ताकत की दुआ करें।
