सो चिन्नु भद्रा क्षुमती यशस्वत्युषा उवास मनवे स्वर्वती । यदीमुशन्तमुशतामनु क्रतुमग्निं होतारं विदथाय जीजनन् ॥

só cin nú bhadrā kṣumátī yáśasvaty uṣā́ uvāsa mánave svàrvatī | yadī́m uśántam uśatā́m ánu krátum agním hótāraṃ vidáthāya jī́janan ||

هكذا أُوشَسُ (الفجرُ) اللطيفةُ—الغنيّةُ بالوفرةِ، ذاتُ المجدِ المُنير—قد أَقامتْ مع مانو، حاملةً نورَ العالَمِ الأسمى. إذ حين يُوقِظُ الطالِبون، على وَفْقِ إيقاعِ كْرَتُو (الإرادةِ الواعية) الحقّ، أَغْنِيَ، الهوتَرَ المتطلّع، لأَجْلِ مَجالِسِ الفَهْمِ الباطنيّة، تَجيءُ لِتُقيمَ مع البَشَر.
