Sukta 4

च॒न्द्रमा॑ अ॒प्स्व॑१न्तरा सु॑प॒र्णो धा॑वते दि॒वि। न वो॑ हिरण्यनेमयः प॒दं वि॑न्दन्ति विद्युतो वि॒त्तं मे॑ अ॒स्य रो॑दसी

candramā́ apsv àntárā supárṇo dhā́vate diví | ná vo hiraṇya-némayaḥ padáṃ víndanti vidyúto vittáṃ mé asyá ródasī

The Moon, within the waters, the fair-winged, speedeth in the heaven. Your golden-rimmed lightnings find not the track: for me, of this, the two Worlds are the possession (and witness).

ดวงจันทร์อยู่ท่ามกลางสายน้ำ เป็นผู้มีปีกงาม แล่นฉับไวอยู่บนฟ้า. สายฟ้าขอบทองของพวกท่านหาไม่พบรอยทางนั้น; สำหรับข้าพเจ้า โลกทั้งสอง (ฟ้าและดิน) เป็นทั้งพยานและเป็นสิ่งที่ข้าพเจ้าครอบครองในเรื่องนี้.
