Sukta 69

Mantra 1

वर्चःप्राप्तिः। गि॒राव॑र॒गरा॑टेषु॒ हिर॑ण्ये॒ गोषु॒ यद् यशः॑ । सुरा॑यां सि॒च्यमा॑नायां की॒लाले॒ मधु॒ तन्मयि॑

Attainment of splendour. What fame (there is) in speech, in stony places, in gold, among cows—what glory (there is) in surā as it is being poured, in the sweet kīlāla, (what) honey—let that be in me.

Mantra 2

अश्वि॑ना सार॒घेण॑ मा॒ मधु॑नाङ्क्तं शुभस्पती । यथा॒ भर्ग॑स्वतीं॒ वाच॑मा॒वदा॑नि॒ जनाँ॑ अनु॑

O Aśvins, with the sārāgha, with honey anoint me, ye Lords of auspicious weal; that I may utter speech endowed with splendour, and that the people may follow after.

Mantra 3

मयि॒ वर्चो॒ अथो॒ यशोऽथो॑ य॒ज्ञस्य॒ यत् पयः॑ । तन्मयि॑ प्र॒जाप॑तिर्दि॒वि द्यामि॑व दृंहतु

In me be lustre, and in me be fame; and also whatever milk-like essence is of the sacrifice: that in me may Prajāpati make firm, as ’twere the heaven in the sky.
