मा नो हासिषुर् ऋषयो दैव्या ये तनूपा ये नस् तन्वस् तनूजाः । अमर्त्या मर्त्यां अभि नः सचध्वम् आयुर् धत्त प्रतरं जीवसे नः ॥३॥
mā no hāsiṣur ṛṣayo daivyā ye tanūpā ye nas tanvas tanūjāḥ | amartyā martyāṃ abhi naḥ sacadhvam āyur dhatta prataraṃ jīvase naḥ ||3||
Let not the seers who are of the gods leave us, who are self (tanū́) protecting, self-born of our self; O immortal ones, attach yourselves to us mortals; grant life-time (ā́yus) in order to our further living.
