Library·Ṛgveda Saṃhitā·10·10.63
परावतो ये दिधिषन्त आप्यम् मनुप्रीतासो जनिमा विवस्वतः । ययातेर् ये नहुष्यस्य बर्हिषि देवा आसते ते अधि ब्रुवन्तु नः ॥
parāvato ye didhiṣanta āpyam manuprītāso janimā vivasvataḥ | yayāter ye nahuṣyasya barhiṣi devā āsate te adhi bruvantu naḥ ||
May they who would assume kinship from far away, Vivasvan's generations, dearly loved of men, Even the Gods who sit upon the sacred grass of Nahusa's son Yayati, bless and comfort us.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
विश्वा हि वो नमस्यानि वन्द्या नामानि देवा उत यज्ञियानि वः । ये स्थ जाता अदितेर् अद्भ्यस् परि ये पृथिव्यास् ते म इह श्रुता हवम् ॥
viśvā hi vo namasyāni vandyā nāmāni devā uta yajñiyāni vaḥ | ye stha jātā aditer adbhyas pari ye pṛthivyās te ma iha śrutā havam ||
For worthy of obeisance, Gods, are all your names, worthy of adoration and of sacrifice. Ye who were born from waters, and from Aditi, and from the earth, do ye here listen to my call.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
येभ्यो माता मधुमत् पिन्वते पयः पीयूषं द्यौर् अदितिर् अद्रिबर्हाः । उक्थशुष्मान् वृषभरान् स्वप्नसस् तां आदित्यां अनु मदा स्वस्तये ॥

I will rejoice in these Adityas for my weal, for whom the Mother pours forth water rich in balm, And Dyaus the Infinite, firm as a rock, sweet milk,-Gods active, strong through lauds, whose might the Bull upholds.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
नृचक्षसो अनिमिषन्तो अर्हणा बृहद् देवासो अमृतत्वम् आनशुः । ज्योतीरथा अहिमाया अनागसो दिवो वर्ष्माणं वसते स्वस्तये ॥

Looking on men, ne'er slumbering, they by their deserts attained as Gods to lofty immortality. Borne on refulgent cars, sinless, with serpents' powers, they robe them, for our welfare, in the height of heaven.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
सम्राजो ये सुवृधो यज्ञम् आययुर् अपरिह्वृता दधिरे दिवि क्षयम् । तां आ विवास नमसा सुवृक्तिभिर् महो आदित्यां अदितिं स्वस्तये ॥

Great Kings who bless us, who have come to sacrifice, who, ne'er assailed, have set their mansion in the sky, These I invite with adoration and with hymns, mighty Adityas, Aditi, for happiness.

को व स्तोमं राधति यं जुजोषथ विश्वे देवासो मनुषो यति ष्ठन । को वो ऽध्वरं तुविजाता अरं करद् यो नः पर्षद् अत्य् अंहः स्वस्तये ॥
