Sanskrit (Devanagari)

यद् वासि सुन्वतो वृधो यजमानस्य सत्पते । उक्थे वा यस्य रण्यसि समिन्दुभिः

IAST Transliteration

yád vā́si sunvató vṛdhó yajámānasya satpate | ukthé vā yásya ráṇyasi sám índubhiḥ ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Or if thou art the presser’s increaser, the sacrificer’s helper, O Satpati; or if in whose uktha thou delightest—be thou wholly delighted with the drops.

Translation

அல்லது, ஸத்பதியே, சோமம் பிழிபவனின் (சுன்வத) வளர்ப்பவனாகவும், யஜமானனின் துணையாகவும் நீ இருப்பாயின்; அல்லது யாருடைய உக்தத்தில் நீ இன்புறுகிறாயோ—அந்த இந்து-துளிகளுடன் முழுமையாக இன்புறுவாயாக.
