Sukta 2
व्याक॑रोमि ह॒विषा॒हमे॒तौ तौ ब्रह्म॑णा॒ व्य॑१हं क॑ल्पयामि । स्व॒धां पि॒तृभ्यो॑ अ॒जरां॑ कृ॒णोमि॑ दी॒र्घेणायु॑षा॒ समि॒मान्त्सृ॑जामि
ví ākáromi havíṣā́ham etáu táu bráhmaṇā ví aháṁ kalpayāmi | svadhā́m pitṛ́bhyo ajárāṁ kṛṇómi dīrghéṇā́yuṣā sáṃ imā́n sṛjāmi
With oblation I set these two in order; with sacred brahman I, in due wise, fashion them. For the Fathers I make the svadhā imperishable; with length of life I send these here forth in completeness.
हविषाहमेतौ व्याकरोमि; ब्रह्मणा च यथाविधि व्यहं कल्पयामि। पितृभ्यः स्वधामजरां करोमि; दीर्घेणायुषा समिमानौ सृजामि।
