Mantra 20
Sukta 1
भगस्त्वेतो नयतु हस्तगृह्याश्विना त्वा प्र वहतां रथेन । गृहान् गच्छ गृहपत्नी यथासो वशिनी त्वं विदथमा वदासि
bhágaḥ tveto nayatu hastagṛ́hya āśvínā tvā prá vahatāṃ ráthena | gṛhā́n gaccha gṛhápatnī yáthāsau vaśínī tváṃ vidátham ā́ vadāsi ||
May Bhaga lead thee hence, thy hand being taken; may the Aśvins bear thee onward in their chariot. Go to the home as house-mistress, that, having mastery, thou mayest speak in the assembly.
