Transliteration

yáthā pū́rvebhyaḥ śatásā́ amṛ́dhraḥ sahasrasā́ḥ pár yayā vā́jam indo | evā́ pavasva suvitā́ya návyase táva vratám anv ā́paḥ sacante ||

Translation

يا إندو، كما كنتَ من قبلُ تدور وتظفرُ بالـvāja مئةً وألفًا، بلا عثرةٍ ولا إخفاق—فكذلك الآن طهِّرْ نفسَك من أجلِ suvita جديدةٍ أوسع. إنَّ المياهَ (Āpaḥ) تتبعُ vrataكَ؛ تُسَلِّمُ لطريقِكَ وتعضُدُ حركتَكَ المرسومة.
