आ यातु मित्र ऋतुभिः कल्पमानः संवेशयन् पृथिवीम् उस्रियाभिः । अथास्मभ्यम् वरुणो वायुर् अग्निर् बृहद् राष्ट्रं संवेश्यम् दधातु

ā yātu mitra ṛtubhiḥ kalpamānaḥ saṃveśayan pṛthivīm usriyābhiḥ | athāsmabhyam varuṇo vāyur agnir bṛhad rāṣṭraṃ saṃveśyam dadhātu

Let Mitra come, ordering himself with the seasons, settling the earth down with the ruddy cows; and then let Varuṇa, Vāyu, Agni grant us a great kingdom to be settled in.

AV 3 8.2

धाता रातिः सवितेदं जुशन्ताम् इन्द्रस् त्वष्टा प्रति हर्यन्तु मे वचः । हुवे देवीम् अदितिं शूरपुत्रां सजातानां मध्यमेष्ठा यथासानि

dhātā rātiḥ savitedaṃ juśantām indras tvaṣṭā prati haryantu me vacaḥ | huve devīm aditiṃ śūraputrāṃ sajātānāṃ madhyameṣṭhā yathāsāni

May Dhātṛ, Rāti (the Gift), (and) Savitṛ take pleasure in this; may Indra (and) Tvaṣṭṛ welcome my speech. I call upon the goddess Aditi, whose sons are heroes, that I may be the one standing in the midst of my kinsmen.
