Transliteration

amājū́r iva pitróḥ sácā satī́ samānā́d ā́ sádasas tvām iye bhágam | kṛdhí prakétam úpa māsyā́ bhara daddhí bhāgáṃ tanvò yéna mā́mahaḥ ||

Translation

Como un niño que se arrima a sus padres, permaneciendo en una misma casa de conciencia, vengo a ti desde el asiento común, oh Bhaga. Haz para nosotros la percepción clara; acércala en su justa medida; concede la parte a nuestro ser encarnado, por la cual crezcamos en dicha.
