túgro ha bhujyúm aśvinodaméghe rayíṃ na káścin mamṛvā́ṃ avā́hāḥ | tám ūhathur naúbhir ātmanvátībhiḥ antarikṣaprúdbhir apóudakābhiḥ ||

إنَّ تُغْرَا، أيُّها الأَشْفِنَانِ، ألقى بُهُجْيُو في السَّيْلِ الهائج، كما يُفْقَدُ كنزٌ ولا مُنقِذَ قريب. لكنَّكما حملتماه بسُفُنٍ تهتدي بذاتها، تعبر الفضاءَ الأوسط (أنتاريكشا)، وتمضي على المياه—حتى حيث لا ماء. فارفعانا نحن أيضًا من طوفانِ الحيرة، بوسائلكما العجيبة.
