अ॒मो॒तं वासो॑ दद्या॒द्धिर॑ण्य॒मपि॒ दक्षि॑णाम्। तथा॑ लो॒कान्त्समा॑प्नोति॒ ये दि॒व्या ये च॒ पार्थि॑वाः

Let him give a choice garment, and gold also, as dakṣiṇā: thus doth he fully attain the worlds—those that are heavenly and those that are earthly.
Er gebe ein auserlesenes Gewand und auch Gold als Dakṣiṇā; so erlangt er vollends die Welten – die himmlischen wie die irdischen.
