Translation
যিনি চলমান ও স্থির—সমস্ত জগতের ঈশান, স্থাবর-জঙ্গমের অধিপতি, এবং ধী (বুদ্ধি/ভক্তি)কে উদ্দীপিত করেন—সেই তাঁকেই আমরা সাহায্যের জন্য আহ্বান করি। পূষণ যেন বিদ্যার দ্বারা আমাদের নিকটে বৃদ্ধির জন্য উপবিষ্ট হন; তিনি আমাদের রক্ষক, পায়ু (পালক), অদব্ধ (অপ্রতারিত) হয়ে আমাদের স্বস্তি (কল্যাণ)-এর জন্য থাকুন।
