Sukta 69

मयि॒ वर्चो॒ अथो॒ यशोऽथो॑ य॒ज्ञस्य॒ यत् पयः॑ । तन्मयि॑ प्र॒जाप॑तिर्दि॒वि द्यामि॑व दृंहतु

Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 6.69.3

máyi várcó átho yáśo ’thó yajñásya yát páyaḥ | tán máyi prajā́patiḥ diví dyā́m-iva dṛṃhatu ||

In me be lustre, and in me be fame; and also whatever milk-like essence is of the sacrifice: that in me may Prajāpati make firm, as ’twere the heaven in the sky.

मुझमें चमक हो, मुझमें नाम हो। यज्ञ जो रस देता है वो मुझमें आए। प्रजापति भगवान उसे पक्का करे, जैसे आसमान ऊपर पक्का खड़ा है।
