यजन्ते अस्य सख्यं वयश्च नमस्विनः स्व ऋतस्य धामन् । वि पृक्षो बाबधे नृभिः स्तवान इदं नमो रुद्राय प्रेष्ठम् ॥

yájante asya sakhyáṃ váyaś ca namasvínaḥ svá ṛtásya dhā́man | ví pṛ́kṣo bābadhe nṛ́bhiḥ stávāna idáṃ námo rudrā́ya préṣṭham ||

Die Verehrer ehren seine Freundschaft und sein lebenspendendes Wachstum, in der eigenen Wohnstatt des ṛta. Weit breitet sich die stärkende Kraft aus, wenn sie von Menschen gepriesen wird: dies ist die liebste Huldigung an Rudra, dieser Gruß der teuerste.
