अन्नं पूर्वा रासतां मे अषाढा ऊर्जं देव्युत्तरा आ वहन्तु । अभिजिन्मे रासतां पुण्यमेव श्रवणः श्रविष्ठाः कुर्वतां सुपुष्टिम्

May the former (Stars) bestow on me food; may the unconquered Aṣāḍhās, the divine Later Ones, convey hither vital strength. May Abhijit grant me auspicious good; may Śravaṇa and Śraviṣṭhā, most famed, make for me fair thriving.
