yé kīlāléna tarpáyatho yé ghṛténa yā́bhyām ṛté ná kíṃ caná śaknuvánti | dyā́vā-pṛthivī bhávataṃ me syóne té no muñcatam áṃhasaḥ ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Ye who with sweet ferment refresh, ye who with ghee; without whom men are not able to effect aught at all—O Heaven and Earth, be gracious unto me: from anguish and from evil set us free.

أنتما اللذان تُنعِشان بالكِيلالا (kīlāla) الحلوة المُخمَّرة، وأنتما اللذان (تُنعِشان) بالسَّمْنِ المُصفّى غْرِتَه (ghṛta)؛ ومن دونكما لا يقدر الناس على إنجازِ شيءٍ البتّة—يا سماءَ وأرضَ، كونا لي وديعَتَين رحيمتَين؛ وأطلِقا سراحَنا من الكربِ ومن الشرّ.
