Sukta 41
अ॒पा॒नाय॑ व्या॒नाय॑ प्रा॒णाय॒ भूरि॑धायसे । सर॑स्वत्या उरु॒व्यचे॑ वि॒धेम॑ ह॒विषा॑ व॒यम्
apānā́ya vyānā́ya prāṇā́ya bhū́ridhāyase | sárasvatyā uruvyáce vidhéma havíṣā vayám ||
To Down-breath, to Pervading-breath, to Life-breath, the bounteous disposer; to Sarasvatī of wide-reaching utterance—may we render worship with oblation, even we.
Kepada Apāna (nafas ke bawah), kepada Vyāna (nafas yang meresap), kepada Prāṇa (nafas hayat), sang pengagih yang melimpah; kepada Sarasvatī yang tutur katanya luas menjangkau—semoga kami menunaikan pemujaan dengan havis (persembahan), yakni kami.
