Rig Veda 1.89.3: Mandala 1, Sukta 89, Mantra 3

Sukta 1.89

Rishi: Gautama Rāhūgaṇa (traditionally for RV 1.89)
Devata: Viśve Devāḥ / auspicious powers with special prominence of Sarasvatī
Chandas: Jagatī (11-syllable pādas)

तान्पूर्वया निविदा हूमहे वयं भगं मित्रमदितिं दक्षमस्रिधम् । अर्यमणं वरुणं सोममश्विना सरस्वती नः सुभगा मयस्करत् ॥

tān pū́rvayā ni-vidā́ hūmahe vayám bhágaṃ mitrám áditiṃ dákṣam asrídham | aryamáṇaṃ váruṇaṃ sómam aśvínā sárasvatī naḥ su-bhágā máyaḥ karat ||

With the ancient invocation we call these Powers: Bhaga (the giver of delight), Mitra (the harmoniser), Aditi (the infinite wideness), and Dakṣa (the sure discerning skill that does not fail); also Aryaman (the noble force of right comradeship), Varuṇa (the guardian of the Vast and the law of truth), Soma (the rapture of immortality), and the Aśvins (the swift twin helpers). May Sarasvatī, rich in good fortune, fashion for us the sweetness of inner well-being.
