अ॒र्वाङ् प॒रस्ता॒त् प्रय॑तो व्य॒ध्व आ॒शुर्वि॑प॒श्चित् प॒तय॑न् पत॒ङ्गः । विष्णु॒र्विचि॑त्तः॒ शव॑साधि॒तिष्ठ॒न् प्र के॒तुना॑ सहते॒ विश्व॒मेज॑त्
arvā́ṅ parástāt práyataḥ vyàdhv āśúrvipáścit patáyan pataṅgáḥ | víṣṇur vícittaḥ śávasādhi-tíṣṭhan prá ketúnā sahate víśvam éjat ||
Hitherward from beyond, impelled along the paths, swift and wise, flying—the Patanga. Viṣṇu, of manifold appearance, presiding with might, with his ray-banner overcometh all that stirreth and moveth.
Hacia aquí, desde más allá, impulsado por los caminos, veloz y sabio, vuela — el Pataṅga. Viṣṇu, de múltiples apariencias, presidiendo con poder, con su estandarte de rayos vence a todo lo que se agita y se mueve.
