Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 7.53

प्र द्यावा यज्ञैः पृथिवी नमोभिः सबाध ईळे बृहती यजत्रे । ते चिद् धि पूर्वे कवयो गृणन्तः पुरो मही दधिरे देवपुत्रे ॥

pra dyāvā yajñaiḥ pṛthivī namobhiḥ sabādha īḷe bṛhatī yajatre | te cid dhi pūrve kavayo gṛṇantaḥ puro mahī dadhire devaputre ||

As priest with solemn rites and adorations I worship Heaven and Earth, the High and Holy. To them, great Parents of the Gods, have sages of ancient time, singing, assigned precedence.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

प्र पूर्वजे पितरा नव्यसीभिर् गीर्भिः कृणुध्वं सदने ऋतस्य । आ नो द्यावापृथिवी दैव्येन जनेन यातम् महि वां वरूथम् ॥

pra pūrvaje pitarā navyasībhir gīrbhiḥ kṛṇudhvaṃ sadane ṛtasya | ā no dyāvāpṛthivī daivyena janena yātam mahi vāṃ varūtham ||

With newest hymns set in the seat of Order, those the Two Parents, born before all others, Come, Heaven and Earth, with the Celestial People, hither to us, for strong is your protection.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

उतो हि वां रत्नधेयानि सन्ति पुरूणि द्यावापृथिवी सुदासे । अस्मे धत्तं यद् असद् अस्कृधोयु यूयम् पात स्वस्तिभिः सदा नः ॥

uto hi vāṃ ratnadheyāni santi purūṇi dyāvāpṛthivī sudāse | asme dhattaṃ yad asad askṛdhoyu yūyam pāta svastibhiḥ sadā naḥ ||

Yea, Heaven and Earth, ye hold in your possession full many a treasure for the liberal giver. Grant us that wealth which comes in free abundance. Preserve us evermore, ye Gods, with blessings.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
