Sukta 12
यत् ते॑ रि॒ष्टं य॑त् ते द्यु॒त्तमस्ति॒ पेष्ट्रं॑ त आ॒त्मनि । धा॒ता तद् भ॒द्रया॒ पुनः॒ सं द॑ध॒त् परु॑षा॒ परुः॑
yát te ríṣṭaṃ yát te dyuttám ásti péṣṭraṃ ta ātmáni | dhātā tád bhadráyā púnaḥ sáṃ dadhat páruṣā páruḥ ||
What hurt is thine, what shattered thing is thine, what crushed disorder dwelleth in thy frame—Dhātṛ, the Ordainer, with auspicious power, set thou that once again together, joint with joint.
यत्ते रिष्टं यत्ते द्युत्तमस्ति पेष्ट्रं त आत्मनि—धाता भद्रया शक्त्या तत् पुनः सं दधातु; परुषा परुः, सन्धिः सन्धिना सम्यक् संयुज्यताम्।
