वाजे॑-वाजेऽवत वाजिनो नो॒ धने॑षु विप्रा अमृता ऋतज्ञाः । अ॒स्य मध्व॑: पिबत मा॒दय॑ध्वं तृ॒प्ता या॑त प॒थिभि॑र्देव॒यानै॑:
Transliteration
vā́je-vāje'vata vājíno no dháneṣu viprā amṛ́tā ṛtajñā́ḥ | asyá mádhvaḥ pibata mā́dayadhvaṃ tṛptā́ yāta pathíbhiḥ devayā́naiḥ
Translation
Pada tiap-tiap vāja, lindungilah kami, wahai para pemenang vāja, dalam perolehan kami—wahai para ṛṣi yang terilham, yang abadi, para pengenal ṛta. Minumlah kemanisan ini; bergembiralah dalam kegirangan suci; dan, setelah kenyang, berangkatlah melalui jalan-jalan devayāna, jalan yang menuju para dewa.
