Transliteration
áva dyutānáḥ kalaśā́ṃ acikradan nṛ́bhir yemānáḥ kóśa ā́ hiraṇyáye | abhī́m ṛtásya dohanā́ anūṣatā́dhi tripṛṣṭhá uṣáso ví rājati ||
Translation
يَهوي متلألئاً، صارخاً إلى الجرار؛ يسوقه الرجالُ إلى الإناء الذهبي. وقد دوّت له حَلْباتُ Ṛta؛ وإذ وُضِع على المقعدِ الثلاثيّ، يَشعُّ على سَعةٍ مع الفجور.
