अश्वो न क्रन्दञ्जनिभिः समिध्यते वैश्वानरः कुशिकेभिर्युगेयुगे । स नो अग्निः सुवीर्यं स्वश्व्यं दधातु रत्नममृतेषु जागृविः ॥

Transliteration

aśvó na krándan jánibhiḥ sám idhyate vaiśvānaráḥ kuśikébhir yugé-yuge | sá no agníḥ su-vī́ryaṁ sv-aśvyáṁ dádhātu rátnam amṛ́teṣu jā́gṛviḥ ||

Translation

Wie ein wieherndes Ross wird Vaiśvānara durch die Geburten entzündet, Zeitalter um Zeitalter, von den Kuśikas. Möge uns jener Agni, wach unter den Unsterblichen, den Schatz verleihen — edle Heldenkraft und rechte Herrschaft über die Lebenskräfte, die uns vorantragen.
