Sukta 9
दे॒वास्ते॑ ची॒तिम॑विदन् ब्र॒ह्माण॑ उ॒त वी॒रुधः॑ । ची॒तिं ते॒ विश्वे॑ दे॒वा अवि॑द॒न् भूम्या॒मधि॑
devā́s te cītím avidan brahmā́ṇa uta vīrúdhaḥ | cītíṃ te víśve devā́ avidan bhū́myā́m ádhi ||
The Gods discovered for thee thy gathered store of power; the Brahmans too, and the Plants. Thy gathered store of power—all the Gods discovered it, upon the Earth.
देवांनी तुझ्यासाठी तुझी ‘चिती’ (संचित शक्ती/औषध-संपदा) शोधून काढली; ब्राह्मणांनीही, आणि वीरुध् (औषधी वनस्पतीं) नीही. तुझी तीच चिती—सर्व देवांनी—भूम्यावर (भूम्यामधि) शोधून मिळवली.
