AV 6 61.1

मह्यम् आपो मधुमद् एरयन्तां मह्यं सूरो अभरज् ज्योतिषे कम् । मह्यं देवा उत विश्वे तपोजा मह्यं देवः सविता व्यचो धात्

mahyam āpo madhumad erayantāṃ mahyaṃ sūro abharaj jyotiṣe kam | mahyaṃ devā uta viśve tapojā mahyaṃ devaḥ savitā vyaco dhāt

Let the waters stir up what is honeyed for me; for me the sun has brought (it) for light; for me the gods and all the heat-born ones; for me the god Savitar has set breadth.

The Waters send me what is sweet and pleasant, Sūra bring all I need for light and vision! The deities, and all of pious nature, and Savitar the God afford me freedom!

अहं विवेच पृथिवीम् उत द्याम् अहम् ऋतूंर् अजनयं सप्त साकम् । अहं सत्यम् अनृतं यद् वदाम्य् अहं दैवीं परि वाचम् विशश् च

I have separated earth and sky; I have generated the seasons, seven together; I speak what is true and what is untrue; I encompass divine speech, and the clans.

अहं जजान पृथिवीम् उत द्याम् अहम् ऋतूंर् अजनयं सप्त सिन्धून् । अहं सत्वम् अनृतं यद् वदामि यो अग्नीषोमाव् अजुषे सखाया

I gave existence to the earth and heaven, I made the seasons and the seven rivers. My word is truth; what I deny is falsehood, I who rejoice in Agni's, Soma's friendship.
