Sukta 12
इ॒मां शालां॑ सवि॒ता वा॒युरिन्द्रो॒ बृह॒स्पति॒र्नि मि॑नोतु प्रजा॒नन्। उ॒क्षन्तू॒द्ना म॒रुतो॑ घृ॒तेन॒ भगो॑ नो॒ राजा॒ नि कृ॒षिं त॑नोतु
imā́ṃ śā́lāṃ savitā́ vāyúr índro bṛ́haspátir ní minotu prajā́nann | ukṣántūdná marúto ghṛténa bhágo no rā́jā ní kṛ́ṣiṃ tanotu ||
This Hall may Savitar, Vāyu, Indra, and Bṛhaspati—knowing progeny—set firmly in its place. Let the Maruts sprinkle her with water, with ghee; and Bhaga, our king, let him spread forth for us the field’s tillage and increase.
इमां शालां सविता वायुरिन्द्रो बृहस्पतिः प्रजानन् न्यमिनोतु। मरुत उद्ना घृतेन च एनामुक्षन्तु; भगो नो राजा कृषिं तनोतु वर्धयतु च।
