Sukta 61
अग्ने॒ तप॑स्तप्यामह॒ उप॑ तप्यामहे॒ तपः॑ । श्रु॒तानि॑ शृ॒ण्वन्तो॑ व॒यमायु॑ष्मन्तः सुमे॒धसः॑
agné tápaḥ tapyā́maha úpa tapyā́mahe tápaḥ | śrutā́ni śṛṇvánto vayám āyuṣmántaḥ sumédhasaḥ
O Agni, tapas we practise; we further heat up tapas. Hearing the sacred things, may we be long-lived and of good understanding.
अग्नि, हम तप करते हैं, और उसे और गरम करते हैं। जब हम पवित्र चीज़ें सुनते हैं, तब हमारी उम्र लंबी हो और हम समझदार बनें।
