Transliteration

ut syā naḥ sárasvatī juṣāṇópa śravat su-bhágā yajñé asmín | mitajñúbhir namasyàir iyānā rāyā yujā cid úttarā sákhibhyaḥ ||

Translation

Et que Sarasvatī nous entende — consentante avec grâce, porteuse de bonne fortune — et qu’elle s’approche en ce sacrifice. Avançant avec nos connaisseurs de la mesure et nos actes de révérence, qu’elle devienne la puissance plus haute, qui élève, pour nos compagnons — même par l’attelage de son abondance (rāyā).
