Sukta 5
मयि॑ क्ष॒त्रं प॑र्णमणे॒ मयि॑ धारयताद् र॒यिम्। अ॒हं रा॒ष्ट्रस्या॑भीव॒र्गे नि॒जो भू॑यासमुत्त॒मः
máyi kṣatráṃ parṇamaṇe máyi dhārayatād rayím | aháṃ rāṣṭrásyābhīvargé nijó bhūyāsam uttamáḥ ||
In me, O Parṇamaṇi, set thou royal might; in me uphold thou wealth. In the realm’s contention and concourse may I, as one rightful, become the highest.
मयि क्षत्रं पर्णमणे मयि धारयताद् रयिम्। अहं राष्ट्रस्याभीवर्गे निजो भूयासम् उत्तमः॥
