Sukta 34
प्र॒मु॒ञ्चन्तो॒ भुव॑नस्य॒ रेतो॑ गा॒तुं ध॑त्त॒ यज॑मानाय देवाः । उ॒पाकृ॑तं शशमा॒नं यदस्था॑त् प्रि॒यं दे॒वाना॒मप्ये॑तु॒ पाथः॑
pramuñcánto bhúvanasya réto gātúṃ dhatta yájamānāya devāḥ | upākṛtáṃ śaśamānáṃ yád ásthāt priyáṃ devā́nām ápy etu pā́thaḥ ||
Releasing the seed of the world, O Gods, bestow a pathway for the Sacrificer. When the prepared (rite) hath stood fast, and he that laboureth is steadfast therein, may the dear path of the Gods come nigh and be attained.
ಹೇ ದೇವರೆ! ಭುವನದ ರೇತಃ (ವಿಶ್ವಬೀಜ)ವನ್ನು ಬಿಡುಗಡೆಮಾಡುತ್ತಾ, ಯಜಮಾನನಿಗೆ ಗತಿಯ ಮಾರ್ಗವನ್ನು ಸ್ಥಾಪಿಸಿರಿ. ಉಪಾಕೃತ (ತಯಾರಿಸಿದ ವಿಧಿ) ಸ್ಥಿರವಾಗಿ ನಿಂತಾಗ, ಮತ್ತು ಶ್ರಮಿಸುವವನು ಅದರಲ್ಲಿ ದೃಢನಾಗಿರುವಾಗ, ದೇವರ ಪ್ರಿಯ ಪಾಥಃ (ಮಾರ್ಗ) ಸಮೀಪಿಸಿ ಪ್ರಾಪ್ತವಾಗಲಿ.
