Transliteration
pári ṣyá suvāná akṣā índur avyé máda-cyutaḥ | dhā́rā yá ūrdhvó adhvaré bhrā́jā ná eti gavyayúḥ ||
Translation
Ausgepresst strömt Indu durch die Wolle, sein Rausch verfließt nicht. Der Strom, der im Opfergang (adhvara) aufwärts steigt, zieht wie ein Glänzender dahin, auf der Suche nach den lichten Herden des Lichts.
