Sukta 78
त्वष्टा॑ जा॒याम॑जनय॒त् त्वष्टा॑स्यै॒ त्वां पति॑म्। त्वष्टा॑ स॒हस्र॒मायूं॑षि दी॒र्घमायुः॑ कृणोतु वाम्
tváṣṭā jā́yām ajanayat tváṣṭāsyái tvā́ṃ pátim | tváṣṭā sahásram āyū́ṃṣi dīrghámāyuḥ kr̥ṇotu vām ||
Tvaṣṭṛ begat the wife; Tvaṣṭṛ, for her, begat thee as husband. Tvaṣṭṛ—may he appoint for you both a thousand life-terms, may he make long life.
त्वष्ठा ने बीवी बनाई। त्वष्ठा ने उसके लिए तुम्हे पति बनाया। त्वष्ठा तुम दोनों को हज़ार साल की ज़िन्दगी दे। तुम दोनों की उम्र लम्बी करे।
