यज्ञोऽसि यज्ञरूपोऽसि यज्ञांगोऽसि रमापते । ततोऽद्य कृपया विष्णो देवानां वरदो भव
yajño'si yajñarūpo'si yajñāṃgo'si ramāpate | tato'dya kṛpayā viṣṇo devānāṃ varado bhava
Tu es le sacrifice lui-même ; Tu es la forme même du sacrifice ; Tu es les membres du sacrifice, ô Seigneur de Ramā. Ainsi, aujourd’hui, ô Viṣṇu, par compassion, deviens le dispensateur de grâces pour les dieux.
