औषधीषु बलं धत्ते स्वधया च पिदृष्वपि / सूर्यो ऽमरेष्वप्यमृतं त्रयं त्रिषु न यच्छति
auṣadhīṣu balaṃ dhatte svadhayā ca pidṛṣvapi / sūryo 'mareṣvapyamṛtaṃ trayaṃ triṣu na yacchati
The Sun places strength within the healing herbs, and by svadhā he also satisfies the Pitṛs. Even among the gods he is the cause of amṛta; yet this threefold gift he does not bestow interchangeably upon the three.
