यं दे॒वा अं॒शुमा॑प्या॒यय॑न्ति॒ यमक्षि॑त॒मक्षि॑ता भ॒क्षय॑न्ति । तेना॒स्मानिन्द्रो॒ वरु॑णो॒ बृह॒स्पति॒रा प्या॑ययन्तु॒ भुव॑नस्य गो॒पाः
yáṃ devā́ aṃśúmān āpyā́yayanti yám ákṣitam ákṣitā́ bhákṣayanti | ténāsmā́n índro váruṇo bṛ́haspátir ā́ pyā́yayantu bhúvanasya gopā́ḥ ||
Whom the Gods, the radiant one, make to wax, whom the undiminished, as undiminished, do partake—therewith may Indra, Varuṇa, and Bṛhaspati, the guardians of the world, cause us to prosper hitherward.
जिसे देवता लोग चमकाते हैं, जिसे कोई कम नहीं कर सकता, वो ऐसे ही बड़ा होता है। इंद्र, वरुण और बृहस्पति, यह तीनो दुनिया के रक्षक हैं। यह हम लोगों को भी बरकत दें ताकि हम भी आगे बढ़ते रहें।
