Sukta 16
सविता बृह॑स्पते॒ सवि॑तर्व॒र्धयै॑नं ज्यो॒तयै॑नं मह॒ते सौभ॑गाय । संशि॑तं चित् संत॒रं सं शि॑शाधि॒ विश्व॑ एन॒मनु॑ मदन्तु दे॒वाः
savítā bṛ́haspate savítar vardháyainaṃ jyótayainaṃ mahaté sáubhagāya | saṃśitáṃ cit saṃtaráṃ sáṃ śiśādhi víśva enám ánu madantu devā́ḥ
Savitar, O Bṛhaspati—O Savitar—do thou increase this man, illumine him unto great good fortune. Even though well-whetted, well-overpassing, do thou wholly set him to success: let all the Gods rejoice in him and follow with their favour.
Wahai Savitar, wahai Bṛhaspati—wahai Savitar—kembangkanlah orang ini; sinarilah dia menuju tuah yang besar. Walaupun dia telah diasah dan melampaui halangan, teguhkanlah dia seluruhnya kepada kejayaan; biarlah semua Dewa bergembira padanya dan mengiringinya dengan kurnia mereka.
