Sukta 2

सूर्यं॒ चक्षु॑षा गच्छ॒ वात॑मा॒त्मना॒ दिवं॑ च॒ गच्छ॑ पृथि॒वीं च॒ धर्म॑भिः । अ॒पो वा॑ गच्छ॒ यदि॒ तत्र॑ ते हि॒तमोष॑धीषु॒ प्रति॑ तिष्ठा॒ शरी॑रैः

sū́ryaṃ cákṣuṣā gaccha vā́tam ātmánā dívam ca gáccha pṛthivī́ṃ ca dhármabhiḥ | apó vā gáccha yádi tátra te hitám óṣadhīṣu práti tiṣṭha śarī́raiḥ

Go to the Sun with thine eye; go to the Wind with thy breath-self; go to Heaven, and to Earth with rightful ordinances. Or go unto the Waters, if there be thy appointed good; in the Plants take thou thy station again, with thy bodily parts.

Pergilah kepada Surya dengan matamu; pergilah kepada Vayu dengan nafas-dirimu; pergilah kepada Langit dan kepada Bumi dengan tatanan dharma. Atau pergilah kepada Air, bila di sana kebaikanmu telah ditetapkan; pada tumbuh-tumbuhan (oṣadhi) berdirilah kembali, dengan anggota-anggota tubuhmu.
