English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

He who upheld the Earth, all-nourishing; who filled the Mid-air with sap; who propped aloft the Heaven by his greatness—with that same odana may I pass beyond Death.

Translation

যিজনে পৃথিৱীক ধৰি ৰাখিলে—সৰ্বভোজ্য, সৰ্বপোষক; যিজনে অন্তৰীক্ষক ৰসেৰে পূৰ্ণ কৰিলে; যিজনে মহিমাৰে স্বৰ্গক ওপৰলৈ স্থিৰ কৰি থ’লে—সেই একে ওদনেৰে মই মৃত্যুক অতিক্ৰম কৰোঁ।
