prá va éko mimaya bhū́ry ā́go yán mā pitéva kitaváṃ śaśā́sa | āré pā́śā āré aghā́ni devā mā́ mā́dhi putré vím ivā́ grabhīṣṭa ||

Que uno de vosotros me haya medido mucha culpa, como un padre reprende al hijo jugador. Lejos estén los lazos, lejos los males, oh dioses; no me apreséis por causa del hijo, como el pajarero prende a su presa.
