IAST Transliteration

imā́ u tvā purū́vaso gíro vardhantu yā́ máma | pāvakávarṇā́ḥ śúcayo vipaścíto ’bhí stómair anūṣata ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

These, verily, O Much-wealthy, my songs shall strengthen thee;—pure, of cleansing lustre, wise and stainless,—they have with praises sung unto thee.

Translation

હે પુરુવસુ (ઘનસંપન્ન), આ મારી સ્તુતિ-વાણીઓ તને નિશ્ચયે બળ આપે; પાવક વર્ણવાળી, શુદ્ધ, વિપશ્ચિત (જ્ઞાની) અને નિર્મળ—એ તને સ્તોમો (સ્તુતિઓ) વડે અભિષુત કરી ગાઈ છે.
