Sukta 43
यत्र ब्रह्मविदो यान्ति दीक्षया तपसा सह। ब्रह्मा मा तत्र नयतु ब्रह्मा ब्रह्म दधातु मे । ब्रह्मणे स्वाहा
yátra brahmavído yā́nti dīkṣáyā tápasā sahá | brahmā́ mā́ tátra nayatu brahmā́ bráhma dadhātu me | bráhmaṇe svā́hā
Whither the knowers of sacred Brahman go, with consecration and with fervid austerity,—thither let Brahmā lead me; let Brahmā bestow on me the Brahman-power. To Brahman—svāhā.
