Mantra 2
Sukta 26
यद्धिरण्यं सूर्येण सुवर्णं प्रजावन्तो मनवः पूर्व ईषिरे। तत् त्वा चन्द्रं वर्चसा सं सृजत्यायुष्मान् भवति यो बिभर्ति
yád híraṇyaṃ sū́ryeṇa suváṛṇaṃ prajā́vanto mánavaḥ pū́rva īṣiré | tát tvā candráṃ várcasā sáṃ sṛjati ā́yuṣmān bhavati yó bibhárti ||
That gold which, made fair-hued by the Sun, the ancient Manus, rich in offspring, sought after—this doth it wholly join to thee with shining splendour; long-lived is he who beareth it.
सूर्यामुळे सुवर्णवर्ण झालेले ते हिरण्य, प्रजावंत प्राचीन मनूंनी पूर्वीच अभिलाषिले. तेच हिरण्य आपल्या तेजाने तुला—हे चंद्रा—पूर्णपणे संयोगित करते; जे ते धारण करतो तो आयुष्मान, दीर्घायुषी होतो.
