Sukta 6.74

सोमारुद्रा धारयेथामसुर्यं प्र वामिष्टयोऽरमश्नुवन्तु । दमेदमे सप्त रत्ना दधाना शं नो भूतं द्विपदे शं चतुष्पदे ॥

somā́rudrā dhāráyethām asuryàṃ prá vām iṣṭáyo 'rám aśnuvantu | damé-dame saptá rátnā dádhānā śáṃ no bhūtaṃ dvipáde śáṃ cátuṣpade ||

โสมะและรุทราเอ๋ย จงค้ำจุนไว้ในเราซึ่งอสุริยะ (asurya)—พลังอันเป็นเจ้าและสว่างไสว; ขอเครื่องบูชาของเราจงไปถึงท่านโดยฉับไว. ในเรือนทุกเรือน แบกไว้ซึ่งรัตนะทั้งเจ็ด จงเป็นความสันติแก่เรา—สันติแก่ผู้มีสองเท้า และสันติแก่ผู้มีสี่เท้า.
