Sukta 4
बृह॒स्पतिः॑ सवि॒ता ते॒ वयो॑ दधौ॒ त्वष्टु॑र्वा॒योः पर्या॒त्मा त॒ आभृ॑तः । अ॒न्तरि॑क्षे॒ मन॑सा त्वा जुहोमि ब॒र्हिष्टे॒ द्यावा॑पृथि॒वी उ॒भे स्ता॑म्
bṛ́haspátiḥ savitā́ te váyo dadhau tváṣṭur vāyóḥ páryātmā́ ta ā́bhṛtaḥ | antárikṣe mánasā tvā juhomi barhíṣṭe dyā́vā-pṛthivī ubhé stām ||
Bṛhaspati and Savitar have set for thee thy vital vigour; the all-encompassing essence of Tvaṣṭṛ and of Vāyu is brought hither for thee. In the mid-air, with mind I offer thee; upon the sacred grass let Heaven and Earth, both twain, stand fast.
Bṛhaspati e Savitar estabeleceram para ti o teu vigor vital; a essência que tudo abrange de Tvaṣṭṛ e de Vāyu é aqui trazida para ti. No espaço intermédio, com a mente, eu te ofereço em oblação; sobre a relva sagrada barhis, que o Céu e a Terra, ambos, permaneçam firmes.
