Rig Veda
viśvo devasya netur marto vurīta sakhyam viśvo rāya iṣudhyati dyumnaṃ vṛṇīta puṣyase
Let every mortal man elect the friendship of the guiding God. Each one solicits him for wealth and seeks renown to prosper him.
te te deva netar ye cemāṁ anuśase te rāyā te hy āpṛce sacemahi sacathyaiḥ
These, leading God, are thine, and these here ready to speak after us. As such may we attain to wealth and wait with services on thee.
ato na ā nṝn atithīn ataḥ patnīr daśasyata āre viśvam patheṣṭhāṃ dviṣo yuyotu yūyuviḥ
So further honour as our guests the Hero Gods and then the Dames. May he remove and keep afar our foes and all who block our path.
yatra vahnir abhihito dudravad droṇyaḥ paśuḥ nṛmaṇā vīrapastyo 'rṇā dhīreva sanitā
Where fire is set, and swiftly runs the victim dwelling in the trough, He wins, with heroes in his home, friendly to man, like constant streams.
eṣa te deva netā rathaspatiḥ śaṃ rayiḥ śaṃ rāye śaṃ svastaya iṣastuto manāmahe devastuto manāmahe
May these thy riches, Leader God! that rule the car, be blest to us, Yea, blest to us for wealth and weal. This will we ponder praising strength, this ponder as we praise the God.
