Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 1.40.3

RV 1.40.3

प्रैतु ब्रह्मणस् पतिः प्र देव्य् एतु सूनृता । अच्छा वीरं नर्यम् पङ्क्तिराधसं देवा यज्ञं नयन्तु नः ॥

praitu brahmaṇas patiḥ pra devy etu sūnṛtā | acchā vīraṃ naryam paṅktirādhasaṃ devā yajñaṃ nayantu naḥ ||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

May Brahmanaspati draw nigh, may Sunrta the Goddess come, And Gods bring to this rite which gives the five-fold gift the Hero, lover of mankind.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
