Sukta 5.43

Rishi: Atri (Ātreya) (traditional for RV 5.43)
Devata: Viśve Devāḥ / nourishing powers (often read as a broad all-gods invocation with symbolic ‘seven’ powers)
Chandas: Jagatī or Triṣṭubh (needs metrical verification; verse length suggests Jagatī tendencies)

आ धेनवः पयसा तूर्ण्यर्था अमर्धन्तीरुप नो यन्तु मध्वा । महो राये बृहतीः सप्त विप्रो मयोभुवो जरिता जोहवीति ॥

ā́ dhenávaḥ páyasā tūrṇyàrthā́ amárdhantīr úpa no yantu mádhvā | mahó rāyé bṛhatī́ḥ sapta vípro mayobhúvo jaritā́ johavīti ||

Nguyện những bò sữa của sự sung túc mau đến với chúng con cùng dòng sữa của mình—không bị ngăn giữ—và đến trong vị ngọt như mật. Vì sự sung mãn lớn lao, vị ṛṣi, người ca tụng, cất tiếng khẩn cầu bảy quyền năng rộng lớn, đem lại an lạc.
