Sanskrit Original
तु॒जे न॒स्तने॒ पर्व॑ताः सन्तु॒ स्वैत॑वो॒ ये वस॑वो॒ न वी॒राः । प॒नि॒त आ॒प्त्यो य॑ज॒तः सदा॑ नो॒ वर्धा॑न्नः॒ शंसं॒ नर्यो॑ अ॒भिष्टौ॑
tuje nastane parvatāḥ santu svaitavo ye vasavo na vīrāḥ panita āptyo yajataḥ sadā no vardhānnaḥ śaṃsaṃ naryo abhiṣṭau
May the mountains be your breasts, O Vasus, and the wealth that the heroes have not won. The singers, steadfast in sacrifice, may they ever make us flourish with praise for the wished‑for.
May the Parvatas be (bountiful) to us in liberal donations; may they be favourable (to us) who are the establishers (of the world) like heroes; may the adored and adorable (deity), who is accessible (to all), who is friendly to man, ever grant us increase, being propitiated by our praise.
Ours be the Parvatas, even they, for offspring, free-moving, who are Heroes like the Vasus. May holy Aptya, Friend of man, exalted, strengthen our word for ever and be near us.
