Transliteration
índrasyeva rātím ā́johuvānāḥ svastáye nā́vam ivā́ ruhema | urvī́ ná pṛthvī́ bahulé gabhī́re mā́ vām etáu mā́ parétau riṣāma ||
Translation
Invoquant le don comme venant d’Indra, puissions-nous y monter, tel un bateau, pour le bien-être. Vaste comme la terre, ample, profond : qu’aucun mal ne nous atteigne — ni à l’aller ni au retour — dans ce passage.
