हिरण्यदन्तं शुचिवर्णमारात् क्षेत्रादपश्यमायुधा मिमानम्।
ददानो अस्मा अमृतं विपृक्वत् किं मामनिन्द्राः कृणवन्ननुक्थाः॥३॥
क्षेत्रादपश्यं सनुतश्चरन्तं सुमद् यूथं न पुरु शोभमानम्।
न ता अगृभ्रन्नजनिष्ट हि षः पलिक्नीरिद् युवतयो भवन्ति ॥४॥
शुनश्चिच्छेपं निदितं सहस्राद् यूपादमुञ्चो अशमिष्ट हि षः।
एवास्मदग्ने वि मुमुग्धि पाशान् होतश्चिकित्व इह तू निषद्य ॥७॥
हृणीयमानो अप हि मदैयेः प्र मे देवानां व्रतपा उवाच ।
इन्द्रो विद्वाँ अनु हि त्वा चचक्ष तेनाहमग्ने अनुशिष्ट आगाम्॥८॥

hiraṇyadantaṁ śucivarṇamārāt kṣetrādapaśyamāyudhā mimānam,
dadāno asmā amṛtaṁ vipṛkvat kiṁ māmanindrāḥ kṛṇavannanukthāḥ.3
kṣetrādapaśyaṁ sanutaścarantaṁ sumad yūthaṁ na puru śobhamānam,
na tā agṛbhrannajaniṣṭa hi ṣaḥ paliknīrid yuvatayo bhavanti. 4
śunaścicchepaṁ niditaṁ sahasrād yupādamuñco aśamiṣṭa hi ṣaḥ,
evāsmadagne vi mumugdhi pāśān hotaścikitva iha tū niṣadya. 7
hṛṇīyamāno apa hi madaiyeḥ pra me devānāṁ vratapā uvāca,
indro vidvāṁ anu hi tvā cacakṣa tenāhamagne anuśiṣṭa āgām.8

I saw him in a distant field, one golden-tusked and pure-bright of hue shaping his weapons: to him I am giving immortality in my several parts and what shall they do to me who possess not Indra and have not the word?

In that field I saw ranging apart what seemed a happy herd in its many forms of beauty; none could seize on them, for he was born, even those of them who were grey with age became young again.

Shunahshepa too was bound to the thousandfold post of sacrifice, him didst thou release and he attained to calm (Or, he achieved the work); so do thou take thy seat here in us, O conscious knower, O Priest of the call, and loose from us the cords of our bondage.

Mayst thou not grow wroth and depart from me: he who guards the law of working of the gods declared to me; Indra knew and sought after and saw thee, and taught by him, O Fire, I have come to thee.

Rig Veda 5.2.3, 5.2.4, 5.2.7, 5.2.8

Translation by Sri Aurobindo
Sri Aurobindo, Hymns to the Mystic Fire: Kumara Atreya or Vrisha Jana

Prayer

...to Thee our infinite gratitude. Before Thee who hast done so much for us, who hast worked, struggled, suffered, hoped, endured so much, before Thee who hast willed all, attempted all, prepared, achieved all for us, before Thee we bow down and implore that we may never forget, even for a moment, all we owe to Thee.

The Mother, Words of the Mother - I: Mahasamadhi

...a Toi, notre infinie gratitude. Devant toi qui as tant fait pour nous, Toi qui a tant travaillé, lutté, souffert, espéré, enduré , Toi qui as tout voulu, tout tenté, tout préparé, tout accompli, pour nous, devant Toi nous nous inclinons en implorant afin que nous n'oublions jamais, même pour un moment, tout ce que nous Te devons.
(Paroles de la Mère, Vol. 1, p. 6)

कनकोत्तमकान्तिः सा सुकान्तिकनकाम्बरा।
देवी कनकवर्णाभा कनकोत्तमभूषणा ॥२॥
कमलाङ्कुशपाशाब्जैरलंकृतचतुर्भुजा।
श्रीमीरा कमला लक्ष्मीः सा श्री रुक्माम्बुजासना ॥३॥

kanakottamakāntiḥ sā sukāntikanakāmbarā,
devī kanakavarṇābhā kanakottamabhūṣaṇā.2
kamalāṅkuśapāśābjairalaṅkṛtacaturbhujā,
śrīmīrā kamalā lakṣmīḥ sā śrī rūkmāmbujāsanā.3

She whose complexion will be that of pure gold, will be wearing shining gold garments. She with the golden lustre will be wearing ornaments of pure gold.
