Sukta 15
समी॑क्षयन्तु तवि॒षाः सु॒दान॑वो॒ ऽपां रसा॒ ओष॑धीभिः सचन्ताम्। व॒र्षस्य॒ सर्गा॑ महयन्तु॒ भूमिं॒ पृथ॑ग् जायन्ता॒मोष॑धयो वि॒श्वरू॑पाः
samī́kṣayantu tavíṣāḥ sudā́navo ’pā́ṃ rasā́ óṣadhībhiḥ sacantām | varṣásya sárgā mahayantu bhū́miṃ pr̥thák jāyantām óṣadhayo viśvárūpāḥ
Let the mighty bountiful powers work in concert; let the essences of the waters unite with the herbs. Let the outpourings of rain make the earth great; let the herbs be born, each apart, of manifold forms.
समीक्षयन्तु तविषाः सुदानवः; अपां रसाः ओषधीभिः सचन्ताम्। वर्षस्य सर्गाः भूमिं महयन्तु; पृथग् जायन्ताम् ओषधयो विश्वरूपाः।
