Transliteration

yátra bāṇā́ḥ sám-patanti kumārā́ viśikhā́ iva | tátrā no bráhmaṇas-pátir áditiḥ śárma yacchatu viśvā́hā śárma yacchatu ||

Translation

حيثُ تتلاقى السهامُ وتهوي متكاثفةً، كالشُّبّانِ الغُفْلِ من القُنْزُعِ إذا اندفعوا معًا؛ فهناكَ ليمنحْنا براهماṇاسپتي وأديتي سَكينةً ومأوًى. ليمنحانا ذلكَ الحِمى في كلِّ حينٍ، وعلى كلِّ وجهٍ.
