Sukta 13
परी॒दं वासो॑ अधिथाः स्व॒स्तयेऽभू॑र्गृष्टी॒नाम॑भिशस्ति॒पा उ॑ । श॒तं च॒ जीव॑ श॒रदः॑ पुरू॒ची रा॒यश्च॒ पोष॑मुप॒संव्य॑यस्व
párī́daṁ vā́so adhithāḥ svastáye ’bhū́r gṛṣṭīnā́m abhiśastipā́ u | śatáṁ ca jī́va śarádaḥ purūcī́ rā́yaś ca póṣam upasaṁvyáyasva
Round thee this garment hast thou put for welfare; thou hast become, verily, the herds’ protector from imprecation. Live thou a hundred years, yea many autumns; and wealth and thriving—wrap them close about thee.
Sa paligid mo ay kasuotang ito ang iyong isinuot para sa kagalingan; ikaw ay naging, tunay nga, na tagapangalaga ng kawan sa sumpa. Mabuhay ka nang isang daang taon, oo, maraming tag-araw; at ang yaman at pag-unlad, ibalot mo ito nang mahigpit sa iyo.
