Transliteration
yé devā́so ábhavatā sukṛtyā́ śyenā́ ivéd ádhi diví niṣédá | té rátnam dhāta śaváso napātaḥ saudhánvanā ábhavatāmṛ́tāsaḥ ||
Translation
તમે જ, સુકૃત્યા વડે, દેવ બન્યા; શ્યેન સમા તમે દ્યૌમાં આસન ગ્રહણ કર્યું. તેથી, હે શવસોના નપાતો, હે સૌધન્વનો, રત્ન સ્થાપિત કરો; અમારા માટે અમૃત શક્તિઓ બની જાઓ—મનુષ્યમાં અમર લાભ સ્થાપિત કરનાર.
