He who for our play hath made this wealth, he who (ordains) the dice’s seizure and the leaving of a remnant—may that God, accepting this oblation, with the Gandharvas let us rejoice in common mirth.
Aquel que para nuestro juego hizo esta riqueza, aquel que dispone la toma de los dados y el dejar un remanente: que ese Dios, aceptando esta ofrenda, con los Gandharvas nos haga regocijarnos en alegría compartida.
