Sukta 11
श॒तं जी॑व श॒रदो॒ वर्ध॑मानः श॒तं हे॑म॒न्तान् छ॒तमु॑ वस॒न्तान्। श॒तं त॒ इन्द्रो॑ अ॒ग्निः स॑वि॒ता बृह॒स्पतिः॑ श॒तायु॑षा ह॒विषाहा॑र्षमेनम्
śatáṃ jī́va śarádo várdhamānaḥ śatáṃ hémantān chatám u vasantā́n | śatáṃ te índró agníḥ savitā́ bṛ́haspátiḥ śatā́yuṣā havíṣā́háṛṣam enam ||
Live thou a hundred years, waxing through a hundred autumns; a hundred winters, yea a hundred springs. For thee may Indra, Agni, Savitar, and Bṛhaspati—by oblation and by a life of hundred years—have made this man to prosper.
शतं जीव शरदो वर्धमानः, शतं हेमन्तान् शतमु वसन्तान्। तव इन्द्रोऽग्निः सविता बृहस्पतिः—हविषा शतायुशा च—एनं पुरुषं समृद्धं करोतु।
