Verse 7

अहं दधामि द्रविणं हविष्मते सुप्राव्ये यजमानाय सुन्वते। अहं राष्ट्री सङ्गमनी वसूनां चिकितुषी प्रथमा यज्ञियानाम्। अहं सुवे पितरमस्य मूर्धन्मम योनिरप्स्वन्तः समुद्रे। य एवं वेद। स दैवीं सम्पदमाप्नोति ॥ ७ ॥

Translation

I grant wealth to the sacrificer who offers oblations with zeal and presses the Soma. I am the sovereign queen, the gatherer of riches, the knowing one, first among those worthy of worship. I bring forth the sky, the father, at the summit of this world; my source is in the waters, within the ocean. Whoever knows this attains divine wealth.
