Transliteration

úpa prá agāt sumán me ’dhāyi mánma devā́nām ā́śā úpa vītápṛṣṭhaḥ | ánv enaṃ víprā ṛ́ṣayo madanti devā́nāṃ púṣṭe cakṛma subándhum ||

Translation

لقد اقترب وتقدّم؛ وقد أُقيم فيّ مَنَسٌ صالح—مَنَسٌ يرجو الآلهة. ويقترب الحاملُ العريضُ الظهر؛ وعلى أثره يطربُ الفِبرا والرِّشي. ولأجل نماء الآلهة صنعنا رباطَ اتحادٍ حسنًا، صديقًا حسنَ الصلة.
