ओ3म् अन्नपतेSन्नस्य नो देह्यनमीवस्य शुष्मिणः/

प्र प्रदातारं तारिष ऊर्ज्जं नो धेहि द्विपदे चतुष्पदे //

ओ3म् शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ! – यजुर्वेद ११.८३

नानाविध अन्नों के दाता, सब विध अन्न प्रदान करो,
रोग रहित और पुष्टि कारक, अन्न दे ओज प्रदान करो /
अन्न दाता के मंगल कर्ता, ऐसा प्रभु विधान करो

प्राणी मात्र सब पायें भोजन, सबको (सुख-) शान्ति प्रदान करो //

Om Annapate annasya no dehyana-meevasya shushminah,

Pra pradaataaram taarish oorjam no dhehi dvipade chatushpade.
