Thou art Trita; thou goest about to seek the spring, the thousand-streaming; the ordinance, the heaven-finding. Verily thine, O Vishnu, are powers in manifold wise. Do thou fill us with cattle of every form; set me in firm well-being, in the highest heaven-space.
Du bist Trita; du gehst umher, die Quelle zu suchen, die tausendströmige, die Satzung, die den Himmel findet. Wahrlich, dein, o Viṣṇu, sind die Kräfte auf vielerlei Weise; erfülle uns mit Vieh in allen Gestalten; setze mich in festes Wohlergehen, im höchsten Himmelsraum.
