Sukta 3
वसो॒र्या धारा॒ मधु॑ना॒ प्रपी॑ना घृ॒तेन॑ मि॒श्रा अ॒मृत॑स्य॒ नाभ॑यः । सर्वा॒स्ता अव॑ रुन्धे स्व॒र्गः ष॒ष्ट्यां श॒रत्सु॑ निधि॒पा अ॒भीच्छात्
váso ryā́ dhā́rā mádhunā prápīnā ghṛténa miśrā́ amṛ́tasya nā́bhayaḥ | sárvā́s tā́ áva rundhe svargáḥ ṣaṣṭyā́ṃ śarátsu nidhípā abhī́cchāt
The streams of Wealth—those full-fed with honey, blended with ghee—are the very hubs of Immortality. All these doth Heaven shut in and make secure: the Treasure-keeper hath desired them for the sixtieth year, through the rounds of autumns.
Aliran-aliran Vasu (kekayaan)—yang sarat dengan madu, bercampur dengan ghee—itulah pusat-pusat Keabadian. Semuanya itu Syurga menutupinya dan memeliharanya dengan aman; sang penjaga simpanan menginginkannya bagi tahun keenam puluh, melalui putaran musim luruh.
