AV 7 57.1

यद् आशसा वदतो मे विचुक्षुभे यद् याचमानस्य चरतो जनाꣳ अनु । यद् आत्मनि तन्वो मे विरिष्टं सरस्वती तद् आ पृणद् घृतेन

yad āśasā vadato me vicukṣubhe yad yācamānasya carato janāṁ anu | yad ātmani tanvo me viriṣṭaṃ sarasvatī tad ā pṛṇad ghṛtena

What has been shaken up in me through hope as I spoke, what (has been shaken up) in me as I wandered among men begging, what of my body is torn within my own self — let Sarasvatī fill that up with ghee.

AV 7 57.2

सप्त क्षरन्ति सिशवे मरुत्वते पित्रे पुत्रासो अप्य् अवीवृतन्न् ऋतानि । उभे इद् अस्योभे अस्य राजत उभे यतेते उभे अस्य पुष्यतः

Seven flow for the child, for the Marut-attended father; the sons have uncovered the ṛta-ordinances. Both these (worlds) are his, over both he rules, both are arrayed (for him), both make him thrive.
