Transliteration
etáṃ vāṃ stómam aśvināv akarmā́takṣāma bhṛ́gavo ná rátham | ny àmṛkṣāma yóṣaṇāṃ ná már ye nítyaṃ ná sūnúṃ tánayaṃ dádhānāḥ ||
Translation
هذه الترتيلةُ لكما، يا أشفين، قد صغناها—كما يصوغُ البِهْرِغُو عربةً. رتّبناها وجعلناها لامعةً، كما تتزيّنُ الفتاةُ لحبيبِها؛ وكما يحتضنُ المرءُ على الدوامِ ابنًا، ولدًا عزيزًا، في باطنِه.
