sa ghā́ no yogá ā́ bhuvat sá rāyé sá puraṃdhyām | gamád vājébhir ā́ sá naḥ ||
Translation
May he indeed become for us the yoking-force in the union (of our consciousness); may he be for our spiritual plenitude (rāyí) and for the fullness of right-intelligence (puraṃdhi). May he come to us with the vājās—powers of accomplished force and victorious increase.
