Atharva Veda 7.16.1: Kanda 7, Anuvaka 2, Sukta 16, Mantra 1
Sukta 16
सविता बृह॑स्पते॒ सवि॑तर्व॒र्धयै॑नं ज्यो॒तयै॑नं मह॒ते सौभ॑गाय । संशि॑तं चित् संत॒रं सं शि॑शाधि॒ विश्व॑ एन॒मनु॑ मदन्तु दे॒वाः
savítā bṛ́haspate savítar vardháyainaṃ jyótayainaṃ mahaté sáubhagāya | saṃśitáṃ cit saṃtaráṃ sáṃ śiśādhi víśva enám ánu madantu devā́ḥ
Savitar, O Bṛhaspati—O Savitar—do thou increase this man, illumine him unto great good fortune. Even though well-whetted, well-overpassing, do thou wholly set him to success: let all the Gods rejoice in him and follow with their favour.
โอ สวิตฤ (Savitar) โอ พฤหัสปติ—โอ สวิตฤ—ขอท่านจงเพิ่มพูนผู้นี้ จงส่องเขาด้วยแสง ให้ถึงซึ่งศุภมงคลอันยิ่งใหญ่ แม้เขาจะถูกลับคมดีและก้าวข้ามอุปสรรคแล้ว ก็ขอท่านจงจัดเขาให้ถึงความสำเร็จโดยสิ้นเชิง ขอเทพทั้งปวงจงยินดีในเขา และติดตามเขาด้วยความโปรดปราน
