Sukta 14

अ॒जम॑नज्मि॒ पय॑सा घृ॒तेन॑ दि॒व्यं सु॑प॒र्नं प॑य॒सं बृ॒हन्त॑म्। तेन॑ गेष्म सुकृ॒तस्य॑ लो॒कं स्वऽरा॒रोह॑न्तो अ॒भि नाक॑मुत्त॒मम्

ajám anajmi páyasā ghṛténa divyáṃ supárṇaṃ páyaso bṛhántam | téna geṣma sukṛ́tasya lokáṃ svàr-ā́rohanto abhí nā́kam uttamám

The goat I anoint with milk and with ghee—heavenly, fair-winged, mighty with rich milk. Therewith may we attain the world of merit, as we climb to Svàr, unto the highest vault.

われは山羊に乳とギー(酥油)を塗り注ぐ——天なるもの、よき翼をもつもの、豊かな乳をたたえて大いなるもの。これによって、われらが善業の世界に到達し、Svàr(天光界)へと昇りつつ、最上の天蓋に至らんことを。
