Transliteration
tvēṣás te dhūmá ṛṇvati diví ṣán śukrá ā́tataḥ | sū́ro ná hí dyutā́ tváṃ kṛpā́ pāvaka rócase ||
Translation
હે પાવક! તારો તીવ્ર ધૂમ સ્વર્ગમાં ઊછળે છે અને વ્યાપે છે—શુક્લ, પ્રકાશમાન અને સર્વત્ર પ્રસરી ગયેલો. કારણ કે તું સૂર્ય સમી દ્યુતિથી ઝળહળે છે; હે પાવક, કૃપા (ઘડનાર શક્તિ) વડે તું પ્રકાશ પ્રગટાવે છે.
