Sukta 5
पञ्च॑ रु॒क्मा पञ्च॒ नवा॑नि॒ वस्त्रा॒ पञ्चा॑स्मै धे॒नवः॑ काम॒दुघा॑ भवन्ति । यो॒३जं पञ्चौ॑दनं॒ दक्षि॑णाज्योतिषं॒ ददा॑ति
páñca rukmā́ páñca návāni vástrā páñcā́smai dhenávaḥ kāmá-dughā́ bhavanti | yó ’jáṃ pañcáudanaṃ dákṣiṇā-jyotiṣaṃ dádāti
Five golden ornaments, five new garments, and five milch-cows, wish-yielding, become his—whoso giveth the Goat with the Fivefold Porridge, made radiant with the priestly Fee.
उसको पाँच सोने के गहने मिलते हैं। पाँच नए कपड़े मिलते हैं। पाँच गायें मिलती है जो जो माँगे वो वो दूध देती हैं। यह सब उस आदमी को मिलता है जो बकरे के साथ पाँच चीज़ों का खाना बना के पंडित को दान देता है। वो दान चमकता है।
