Transliteration

idáṃ kavér ādityásya sva-rā́jo víśvāni sā́nty abhy àstu mahnā́ | áti yo mandró yajáthāya deváḥ su-kīrtíṃ bhíkṣe váruṇasya bhū́reḥ ||

Translation

هذه كلمةُ الكافي للآدِتْيَا، الملكِ بذاته (سْفَراج): فلتُحِطْ بعظمتها بكلِّ السَّكِينَاتِ والانسجاماتِ الكائنة. ومن فَرُونَةَ، الغزيرِ العطاء، أطلبُ صيتًا حسنًا—ذِكرًا مستقيمًا في الباطن—كي يتجاوزَ الإلهُ المبتهجُ كلَّ عائقٍ لأجلِ يَجْنَا النفس.
