Transliteration

pári hí ṣmā puruhūtó jánānāṃ víśvāsarad bhójanā pūyamā́naḥ | áthā́ bhara śyenabhṛta práyāṃsi rayíṃ tuñjā́no abhí vā́jam arṣa ||

Translation

حقًّا إنك—يا كثيرَ الدعاء بين الشعوب—وأنتَ في التطهير تطوفُ حولَ كلِّ أطعمةِ البهجة. فهاتِ إذن، أيها المحمولُ على غارودا، عطاياكَ المتقدِّمة؛ دافعًا إلى الأمامِ رَيِي (الوفرةَ الروحية)، فاسْرِ نحو فاجا (قوةِ الظفر).
