Transliteration
padáṃ devásya námasā vyántaḥ śravasyávaḥ śráva ā́pann amṛ́ktam | nā́māni cid dadhire yajñíyāni bhadrā́yāṃ te raṇayanta sám-dṛṣṭau ||
Translation
নমস্কারে তারা দেবের পদ লাভ করেছে; যশের অন্বেষী হয়ে তারা অখণ্ড কীর্তি অর্জন করেছে। তারা যজ্ঞীয় নামসমূহও স্থাপন করেছে; তোমার ভদ্র দৃষ্টিতে তারা রমণ করে এবং প্রীত হয়।
