Mantra 7
Sukta 46
यथा त्वमुत्तरोऽसो असपत्नः सपत्नहा। सजातानामसद् वशी तथा त्वा सविता करदस्तृतस्त्वाभि रक्षतु
yáthā tvám uttará ’so asapátnaḥ sapatnahā́ | sajātā́nām asád vaśī́ tátʰā tvā savitā́ karad áṣṭṛ́tas tvā́bhi rakṣatu ||
Even as thou art the higher one—rivalless, a slayer of rivals—so among thy peers be thou the master: thus may Savitar make thee. May Aṣṭṛta guard thee round about.
ଯେପରି ତୁମେ ଉତ୍ତମ—ନିର୍ବିରୋଧୀ, ପ୍ରତିଦ୍ୱନ୍ଦ୍ୱୀ-ହନ୍ତା—ଅଛ, ସେପରି ନିଜ ସମକକ୍ଷମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ତୁମେ ଅଧିପତି ହେଉ; ଏଭଳି ସବିତା ତୁମକୁ କରୁନ୍ତୁ। ଅଷ୍ଟୃତ ତୁମକୁ ସମସ୍ତ ଦିଗରୁ ରକ୍ଷା କରୁନ୍ତୁ।
