Transliteration
bharéṣu hávyo námasopasádyó gántā vā́jeṣu sánitā dhánaṃdhanam | víśvā íd aryó abhídipsvo mṛ́dho bṛ́haspátir ví vavarhā ráthāṃ iva ||
Translation
في ضغطِ الصراع يُستدعى، وبالتبجيل يُدانى. يأتي في نيلِ الفيوض، ظافرًا بثروةٍ فوقَ ثروة. كلُّ هجماتِ الحسودِ المعتدي يُبدِّدها بْرِهَسْبَتِي، كما تُزالُ العوائق—كالعرباتِ تشقُّ الطريق.
