Sukta 9

अ॒स्य दे॑वाः प्र॒दिशि॒ ज्यो॑तिरस्तु॒ सूर्यो॑ अ॒ग्निरु॒त वा॒ हिर॑ण्यम्। स॒पत्ना॑ अ॒स्मदध॑रे भवन्तूत्त॒मं नाक॒मधि॑ रोहये॒मम्

Recitation with translationAtharva Veda 1.9.2

asyá devāḥ pradíśi jyótir astu sū́ryo agnír utá vā híraṇyam | sapátnā asmád ádhare bhavantu uttamáṃ nā́kam ádhi rohayemám ||

For this man let there be, in every quarter, the Gods’ own light—Sun, and Fire, yea, or bright Gold. Let rivals be brought low beneath us; and this one do thou raise aloft unto the highest heaven.

ఈ మనిషికి ప్రతి దిక్కులో దేవతల స్వంత వెలుగు ఉండుగాక—సూర్యుడు, అగ్ని, లేదా ప్రకాశించే బంగారం. ప్రత్యర్థి-శత్రువులు మా కిందకు దిగజారుగాక; ఈ వ్యక్తిని నీవు అత్యున్నత స్వర్గానికి ఎత్తుగాక.
