मधु वाता ऋतायते
मधु क्षरन्ति सिन्धवः
माध्वीर्नः सन्त्वोषधीः ॥
मधु नक्तमुतोषसो
मधुमत्पार्थिवं रजः
मधुरस्तु नः पिता ॥
मधुमानो वनस्पतिः
मधुमानस्तु सूर्यः
माध्वीर्गावो भवन्तु नः ॥
 
Sweet do the winds become unto him
who desires to abide by the Moral Law;
sweet do the streams flow for him; even
so, may the herbs be sweet unto us;
may night be sweet and dawn also sweet
unto us, may the region of Earth he sweet
and also Heaven, our father; may the sylvan
god be sweet unto us; may the sun be sweet
and sweet may our kine become.
 
Rigveda I. 90. 6-8.
