Sukta 17
शुना॑सीरे॒ह स्म॑ मे जुषेथाम्। यद् दि॒वि च॒क्रथुः॒ पय॒स्तेने॒मामुप॑ सिञ्चतम्
śúnāsīréha smá me juṣethām | yád diví cakráthuḥ páyas ténémā́m úpa siñcatam ||
O Śunāsīrau, take pleasure here in mine offering. With the milk-like nourishment which ye fashioned in heaven, with that sprinkle ye this (field) upon us.
Wahai Śunāsīrau, berkenanlah di sini pada persembahanku. Dengan sari-nutrisi seumpama susu yang kamu berdua bentuk di langit, dengan itu renjiskanlah ini (ladang) ke atas kami.
