Sukta 3.8
अञ्जन्ति त्वामध्वरे देवयन्तो वनस्पते मधुना दैव्येन । यदूर्ध्वस्तिष्ठा द्रविणेह धत्ताद्यद्वा क्षयो मातुरस्या उपस्थे ॥
añjanti tvām adhvaré deva-yánto vánaspate mádhunā daivyéna | yád ūrdhvás tíṣṭhā dráviṇeha dhattā́t yád vā́ kṣáyo mātúr asyā́ upásthe ||
They anoint thee in the sacrifice, O Lord of the Wood, with the divine honey. When thou standest upright, set here the inner riches; or when thou hast thy dwelling in the lap of this Mother, then too establish the gain.
