vaiśvānaráya práti vedayāmi yád ṛṇáṃ saṃgáre devátāsu | sá etā́n pā́śān vicṛtáṃ véda sárvān átha pakvéna sahá sáṃ bhavema ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Unto Vaiśvānara I make declaration, of the debt (that stands) in contest among the Gods. He knoweth all these nooses, disentangled in their whole extent; then, with the ripened issue, may we come together in completeness.
