आ वेधसं नीलपृष्ठं बृहन्तं बृहस्पतिं सदने सादयध्वम् । सादद्योनिं दम आ दीदिवांसं हिरण्यवर्णमरुषं सपेम ॥

ā́ vedhásaṃ nī́lapṛṣṭhaṃ bṛhántam bṛ́haspátiṃ sádane sādayadhvam | sā́dad-yoníṃ dáma ā́ dīdivā́ṃsaṃ híraṇyavarṇam aruṣáṃ sapema ||

أَجْلِسُوا في الدارِ القُوَّةَ الحَكِيمَةَ المُشَكِّلَة، العَظِيمَ ذَا الظَّهْرِ الأَزْرَقِ القَاتِم—بْرِهَسْبَتِي—في مَجْلِسِ البَيْتِ البَاطِن. جَالِسًا في رَحِمِهِ الخَاصّ، في مَوْضِعِ ثُبُوتِهِ، يَتَلَأْلَأ: ذَهَبِيَّ اللَّوْن، مُحْمَرًّا بِالقُوَّة؛ فَلْنُصَاحِبْهُ وَلْنَخْدُمْهُ.
