दिवो न यस्य विधतो नवीनोद्वृषा रुक्ष ओषधीषु नूनोत् । घृणा न यो ध्रजसा पत्मना यन्ना रोदसी वसुना दं सुपत्नी ॥

Transliteration

divó na yásya vidható navī́not vṛ́ṣā rukṣá oṣádhīṣu nūnot | ghṛṇā́ na yó dhrajásā pátmanā yánn ā́ rodasī vásunā dám su-pátnī ||

Translation

যাঁর নিত্য-নবীন দীপ্তি উপাসককে—যেন স্বয়ং দ্যৌ (স্বর্গ) এর মতো—নব করে তোলে; সেই বৃষভ (অগ্নি), দীপ্তিমান, নিজের বলকে ঔষধি/বনস্পতির মধ্যে প্রবাহিত করেন। ঘৃতসম উষ্ণ জ্যোতির মতো তিনি ধ্রজস্ (জ্বলন) সহ দ্রুতগতিতে অগ্রসর হন; তিনি দুই রোদসী (দ্যাবা-পৃথিবী)-র কাছে, বসু (সমৃদ্ধি) সহ, যেন নিজ গৃহে—সু-পত্নী (সুসংযুক্ত) সেই দুই শক্তির নিকট—উপনীত হন।
