Sukta 16
अश्वा॑वती॒र्गोम॑तीर्न उ॒षा॑सो॑ वी॒रव॑तीः॒ सद॑मुछन्तु भ॒द्राः । घृ॒तं दुहा॑ना वि॒श्वतः॒ प्रपी॑ता यू॒यं पा॑त स्व॒स्तिभिः॒ सदा॑ नः
áśvāvatīr gómatīr na uṣā́so vīrávatīḥ sádam ucchantu bhadrā́ḥ | ghṛtáṃ dúhānā viśvátaḥ prápītā yūyáṃ pāta svastíbhíḥ sádā naḥ
Steed-rich, cow-rich, hero-rich—O Dawns—let the auspicious ones shine forth for us each day; yielding ghee, well-satisfied from every side. Do ye, with blessings of welfare, protect us evermore.
Ricas em cavalos, ricas em vacas, ricas em heróis — ó Auroras — que as auspiciosas resplandeçam para nós a cada dia; ordenhando ghee, bem saciadas de todos os lados. E vós, com bênçãos de bem-estar, protegei-nos para sempre.
