Transliteration

vā́je-vā́je ’vata vājino no dháneṣu viprā amṛtā ṛta-jñā́ḥ | asyá mádhvaḥ pibata mā́dayadhvaṃ tṛptā́ yāta pathíbhiḥ deva-yā́naiḥ ||

Translation

В каждом приливе ваджи поддержите нас, о ваджины, в наших обретениях, — о провидцы, бессмертные, ведающие Риту (ṛta). Пейте эту медовую сущность и веселитесь; насыщенные, идите путями богов — деваяна (devayāna).
