Sukta 41
अ॒पा॒नाय॑ व्या॒नाय॑ प्रा॒णाय॒ भूरि॑धायसे । सर॑स्वत्या उरु॒व्यचे॑ वि॒धेम॑ ह॒विषा॑ व॒यम्
apānā́ya vyānā́ya prāṇā́ya bhū́ridhāyase | sárasvatyā uruvyáce vidhéma havíṣā vayám ||
To Down-breath, to Pervading-breath, to Life-breath, the bounteous disposer; to Sarasvatī of wide-reaching utterance—may we render worship with oblation, even we.
下行の息(apāna)に、遍行の息(vyāna)に、生命の息(prāṇa)に——豊かに配し与える者に。広く響く言葉のサラスヴァティー(Sarasvatī, uruvyacas)に——われらは供物(havis)をもって祭祀を行い、礼拝を捧げん。
