Transliteration
híraṇya-nirníg áyo asyá sthū́ṇā ví bhrājate divy àśvā́janīva | bhadré kṣétré ní-mitā tílvile vā sanéma mádhvo ádhi-gártyasya ||
Translation
رِداؤه يلمع ذهبًا؛ وأعمدته من معدن—يتلألأ في السماء كإسطبلٍ لجيادٍ سريعة. مُثبَّتٌ في حقلٍ ميمون، مغروسٌ في talvila (القاعدة الراسخة)، فليكن لنا أن ننال لذّة العسل من ذاك المُقام على المقعد (garta).
