Another Aseervatha Mantram from Rigvedam
नवो-नवो भवति जायमानो.अह्नां केतुरुषसामेत्यग्रम |
भागं देवेभ्यो वि दधात्यायन प्र चन्द्रमास्तिरतेदीर्घमयुः ||
navo navo bhavati jaayamano ahnaam keturushasaametyagram
bhaagam devebhya vi dadhaatyaayan pra chandramastirati deerghamaayuH.
The moon, by adding some portion to it in the waxing fortnight and reducing some portion to it in the waning portion of the next fortnight is born as a new one every day..
And through such birth every day he is the harbinger of every fresh morning..
He disappears at dawn every morning brings in a new day..
And the periodic offerings of Havis to gods in appropriate parts are determined by the appearance of the moon as a new one every day (the yajnas are determined by the tithis.. which are governed by the phases of the moon)..
Such moon the controller of days and seasons may bless us with long life..
