Sukta 80
पूर्णिमा। पू॒र्णा प॒श्चादु॒त पू॒र्णा पु॒रस्ता॒दुन्म॑ध्य॒तः पौ॑र्णमा॒सी जि॑गाय । तस्यां॑ दे॒वैः सं॒वस॑न्तो महि॒त्वा नाक॑स्य पृ॒ष्ठे समि॒षा म॑देम
pūrṇimā | pūrṇā paścā́d utá pūrṇā purástād ún madhyatáḥ paurṇamāsī́ jigāya | tásyāṃ deváiḥ saṃvásanto mahitvā́ nā́kasya pṛṣṭhé samíṣā madema ||
Full-Moon: full behind and full before, yea full from the midst—Paurṇamāsī hath won the victory. In her, abiding with the Gods by her great might, upon the back of heaven with sacrificial fare may we rejoice.
पूर्णिमा पीछे से भी पूरा, आगे से भी पूरा, बीच से भी पूरा है। पूर्णिमा जीत गई है। देवियों के साथ रह के आसमान में हम खुश हों।
