Sukta 17
धा॒ता रा॒तिः स॑वि॒तेदं जु॑षन्तां प्र॒जाप॑तिर्नि॒धिप॑तिर्नो अ॒ग्निः । त्वष्टा॒ विष्णुः॑ प्र॒जया॑ संररा॒णो यज॑मानाय॒ द्रवि॑णं दधातु
dhā́tā rātíḥ savité́daṁ juṣántāṁ prajā́patir nídhipatir no agníḥ | tváṣṭā víṣṇuḥ prajā́yā saṁrarāṇó yajámānāya dráviṇaṁ dadhātu
May Dhātṛ and the Gift, may Savitṛ take pleasure in this; may Prajāpati, the Lord of treasure, our Agni. Tvaṣṭṛ and Viṣṇu, rejoicing together with progeny, bestow upon the sacrificer substance and wealth.
Niech Dhatri i Dar, niech Sawitri znajdą upodobanie w tym; niech Prajapati, Pan skarbu, nasz Agni. Twasztr i Wisznu, radując się razem z potomstwem, niech obdarzą ofiarodawcę majątkiem i bogactwem.
