SV 1.5.2.805

अस्तु श्रौष्ट्पुरो अग्निं धिया दध आ नु त्यच्छर्धो दिव्यं वृणीमह इन्द्रवायू वृणीमहे । यद्ध क्राणा विवस्वते नाभा सन्दाय नव्यसे । अध प्र नूनमुप यन्ति धीतयो देवांअच्छा न धीतयः ॥ ४६१

astu śrauṣṭpuro agniṃ dhiyā dadha ā nu tyacchardho divyaṃ vṛṇīmaha indravāyū vṛṇīmahe . yaddha krāṇā vivasvate nābhā sandāya navyase . adha pra nūnamupa yanti dhītayo devāṃacchā na dhītayaḥ .. 461

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

Heard be our prayer! In thought I honour Agni first: now straightway we elect this heavenly company, Indra and Vayu we elect. For when our latest thought is raised and on Vivasvan centred well, Then may our holy songs go forward on their way, our songs as 'twere unto the Gods.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)This is the translator's rendering of the same verse where it occurs at RV 1.139.1; the wording of this text may differ in places.
