agnir dyumnena sūryo jyotiṣā
dyaur mahimnāntarikṣaṃ vyacasā |

2.72.2

tvaṣṭā rūpeṇa savitā savena-
-ahar mitreṇa varuṇena rātrī |

-idaṃ rāṣṭraṃ vardhayantu prajāvat ||

2.72.3

yāṃ viśvakarmā nijaghāna methim

tasyā āhuḥ kṣatriyaṃ garbham etaṃ
pari māva patthā mūrdhani dhārayasva ||

2.72.4

chandāṃsy asyā abhito mayūkhā
stomā ātmā yajur asyāḥ purīṣam |

parā ṇudasva vyathayābhimātim
adhaspadaṃ kṛṇuṣva durdharāyataḥ |
mā tvā dabhan sapatnā dipsantas
tava rāṣṭram uttamaṃ dyumnam astu ||
