सहस्राक्षं त्वया कष्टं मन्मखे विपुलं कृतम् । आनीता च तथा पत्नी गायत्री च सुमध्यमा
sahasrākṣaṃ tvayā kaṣṭaṃ manmakhe vipulaṃ kṛtam | ānītā ca tathā patnī gāyatrī ca sumadhyamā
Ô Sahasrākṣa, tu as enduré une grande peine dans mon sacrifice. Et tu as aussi amené ton épouse, Gāyatrī, à la taille gracieuse.

Support of sacred rites (yajña) through effort and proper accompaniment is honored; dharma is upheld through willing hardship.
