सर्वे ते ह्युपजीवन्ति हुतं दत्तं शशिस्थितम् । वनस्पतिगते सोमे धनवांश्च वरानने
sarve te hyupajīvanti hutaṃ dattaṃ śaśisthitam | vanaspatigate some dhanavāṃśca varānane
সকলো সত্তাই অগ্নিত হুত দান-দক্ষিণাৰ আশ্ৰয়ে জীৱে, যি চন্দ্ৰৰ অধীন স্থিত; আৰু যেতিয়া সোম উদ্ভিদত অৱস্থিত হয়, হে সুমুখী, তেতিয়া মানুহ ধনসম্পদে সমৃদ্ধ হয়।

FAQs
