यत् ते देवा अकृण्वन् भागधेयम् अमावास्ये संवसन्तो महित्वा । तेना नो यज्ञं पिपृहि विश्ववारे रयिं नो धेहि सुभगे सुवीरम्
yat te devā akṛṇvan bhāgadheyam amāvāsye saṃvasanto mahitvā | tenā no yajñaṃ pipṛhi viśvavāre rayiṃ no dhehi subhage suvīram
The share that the gods made for you, O new-moon night, dwelling together with greatness — with that carry our sacrifice across, O you rich in all things; set in us riches abounding in heroes, O fortunate one.
