Transliteration
ā́ devó dade budhnyā́ vásūni vaiśvānará úd itā sū́ryasya | ā́ samudrā́d avarā́d ā́ parasmā́d ā́gnír dade divá ā́ pṛthivyā́ḥ ||
Translation
The divine One gives the deep-founded riches; Vaiśvānara gives from the rising of the Sun. From the lower ocean and from the farther beyond, Agni gives—from Heaven down to Earth.
