IAST Transliteration

ā́ me mahác chatábhiṣag várīya ā́ me dváyā proṣṭhápadā suśárma | ā́ revátī cāśvayújau bhágaṃ ma ā́ me rayíṃ bháraṇya ā́ vahantu ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Hither to me (come) great Śatabhiṣaj, with boon the better; hither to me the two Proṣṭhapadās, a kindly shelter. Hither Revatī, and the Aśvayuj pair—good fortune for me; and Bharaṇī, let her bring hither to me wealth.

Translation

إليَّ فَلْتَأْتِ شَتَبْهِشَج (Śatabhiṣaj) العظيمة، بعطيةٍ أَفْضَل؛ وإليَّ فَلْتَأْتِ البْرُوشْتْهَبَدَان (Proṣṭhapadā) الاثنتان، مَأْوًى لطيفًا. وإليَّ فَلْتَأْتِ رِفَتِي (Revatī)، وزوجُ أَشْفَيُج (Aśvayuj)—حظٌّ حسنٌ لي؛ ولْتَحْمِلْ إليَّ بْهَرَنِي (Bharaṇī) الثروة.
