Transliteration

pavámāno abhyàrṣā su-vī́ryam urvī́ṃ gavyū́tiṃ máhi śárma sa-práthāḥ | mā́kir no asyá pári-sūtir ī́śaténdo jayéma tváyā dhánaṃ-dhanam ||

Translation

Oh Soma, mientras eres purificado, fluye hacia nosotros trayendo fuerza heroica, el ancho pastizal de los rayos luminosos y el gran amparo de paz, vastamente extendido. Que ninguna presión envolvente de esta oscuridad llegue a dominarnos. Contigo, oh Indu, conquistemos riqueza tras riqueza: plenitudes siempre renovadas.
