अपामीवां सविता साविषन्न्यग्वरीय इदप सेधन्त्वद्रयः । ग्रावा यत्र मधुषुदुच्यते बृहदा सर्वतातिमदितिं वृणीमहे ॥

apā́mīvāṃ savitā́ sāviṣan nyàg varī́yaḥ íd ápa sedhántv ádrayaḥ | grā́vā yátra madhuṣúd ucyáte bṛhád ā́ sarvatā́tim áditiṃ vṛṇīmahe ||

Semoga Savitṛ menghalau penyakit; ke bawah semoga kuasa-kuasa yang memusuhi ditekan undur—ya, biarlah batu-batu pemerah menolaknya. Di tempat batu itu disebut sebagai Kuasa Pemeras Madu yang luas, di situlah kami memilih Aditi, keutuhan yang menyeluruh, bagi lengkapnya menjadi kami.
