Sukta 2
ह्वया॑मि ते॒ मन॑सा॒ मन॑ इ॒हेमान् गृ॒हाँ उप॑ जुजुषा॒ण एहि॑ । सं ग॑च्छस्व पि॒तृभिः॒ सं य॒मेन॑ स्यो॒नास्त्वा॒ वाता॒ उप॑ वान्तु श॒ग्माः

With mind I call thy mind: hither, to these houses, come, consenting and well-pleased. Then go thou forth in company with the Fathers, in company with Yama; may kindly winds, strong to aid, blow round about thee.
Dengan fikiran kupanggil fikiranmu: kemarilah, ke rumah-rumah ini; datanglah dengan rela dan berkenan. Kemudian berjalanlah bersama para Pitṛ (Bapa Leluhur), bersama Yama; semoga angin-angin yang ramah, kuat menolong, berhembus mengelilingimu.
