विश्वावयुरुवाच तथ्यं शुभं चैतदुक्त त्वया विभो सम्यक् क्षेम्यं दैवताद्यं यथावत् । स्वस्त्यक्षयं भवतश्चास्तु नित्यं बुद्धा सदा बुद्धियुक्त मनस्ते
Viśvāvasur uvāca—tathyaṁ śubhaṁ caitad uktaṁ tvayā vibho samyak kṣemyaṁ daivatādyaṁ yathāvat | svasty akṣayaṁ bhavataś cāstu nityaṁ buddhā sadā buddhiyuktaṁ manas te ||
Dijo Viśvāvasu: «Oh Señor, lo que has dicho es verdadero y auspicioso. Has descrito correcta y ordenadamente a Brahman, fuente primordial de los dioses: un relato saludable y de supremo beneficio. Que el bienestar imperecedero te acompañe siempre; que tu mente permanezca continuamente despierta y unida a la sabiduría.»
