Sukta 7
जी॒व॒लां न॑घारि॒षां जी॑व॒न्तीमोष॑धीम॒हम्। अ॒रु॒न्ध॒तीमु॒न्नय॑न्तीं पु॒ष्पां मधु॑मतीमि॒ह हु॑वे॒ऽस्मा अ॑रि॒ष्टता॑तये
jīvalā́ṃ nághāriṣāṃ jīvántīm óṣadhīm ahám | arundhatī́m únnayantīṃ púṣpāṃ mádhumatīm ihá huve ’smā́ áriṣṭatātaye
The life-bestowing, the harmless, the living herb do I invoke—Arundhatī, that leadeth upward, flowering, honey-sweet—here I call her, for this man, unto unharmed security.
Aku menyeru herba yang mengurniakan hidup, yang tidak memudaratkan, yang hidup—Arundhatī, yang mengangkat ke atas, berbunga, manis bermadu; di sini aku memanggilnya, demi keselamatan tanpa bencana bagi lelaki ini.
