Sukta 10
शं नो देवः सविता त्रायमाणः शं नो भवन्तूषसो विभातीः । शं नः पर्जन्यो भवतु प्रजाभ्यः शं नः क्षेत्रस्य पतिरस्तु शंभुः
śáṃ no deváḥ savitā́ trā́yamāṇaḥ | śáṃ no bhavantūṣásaḥ vibhātī́ḥ || śáṃ naḥ parjányo bhavatu prajā́bhyaḥ | śáṃ naḥ kṣétrasyá pátiḥ astu śambhúḥ ||
Weal unto us—may the god Savitṛ, protecting, be gracious; weal unto us—may the Dawns, shining forth, be beneficent. Weal unto us—may Parjanya be for our progeny; weal unto us—may the Lord of the Field be beneficent.
