Transliteration
yó bhū́yiṣṭhaṃ nā́satyābhyāṃ vivéṣa cániṣṭhaṃ pitvó rárate vi-bhāgé | sá tókám asya pī́parac chamī́bhir anū́rdhva-bhāsaḥ sádám ít tutur yāt ||
Translation
যে নাসত্য-দ্বয়ের সর্বাধিক সেবা করে, আর বণ্টনে পানীয়ের জন্য অতি সামান্য অংশও নিবেদন করে—তার সন্তানকে তারা তাদের শান্ত শক্তিতে পুষ্ট করে; এবং সে, যার আলোক অধোমুখ নয়, অবিরাম অগ্রসর হয়।
