Sukta 1.71

Samhita Patha (Devanagari)
महे यत्पित्र ईं रसं दिवे करव त्सरत्पृशन्यश्चिकित्वान् । सृजदस्ता धृषता दिद्युमस्मै स्वायां देवो दुहितरि त्विषिं धात् ॥
Transliteration
mahe yat pitrá īṃ rásaṃ divé karavát tsarat pṛśányāś cikitvān | sṛjádatā dhṛṣatā didyúm asmai svāyāṃ devó duhitári tviṣíṃ dhāt ||
Translation
เมื่อผู้รู้แจ้งได้ก่อรังสา (rasa—แก่นรส/น้ำอมฤตภายใน) เพื่อพระบิดาผู้ยิ่งใหญ่ และเพื่อท้องฟ้าแล้ว ปฤศันยะ (Pṛśanya) ผู้รู้ทั่วก็เคลื่อนออกไป. นายธนูปล่อยด้วยความกล้า แสงวาบอันเจิดจ้าเพื่อเขา; และเทพได้วางประกายรุ่งเรือง (tviṣ) ไว้ในธิดาของตนเอง—ในเคหสถานอันควรของนาง.
