Transliteration
śuśruvā́ṃsā cid aśvinā purū́ṇy abhí bráhmāṇi cakṣāthe ṛ́ṣīṇām | práti prá yātaṃ váram ā́ jánāyāsmé vāṃ astu sumatíś caniṣṭhā́ ||
Translation
હે અશ્વિનો, શ્રવણ કરનારાઓ સમા હોવા છતાં તમે ઋષિઓનાં અનેક બ્રહ્માણિ—પ્રેરિત સ્તુતિ-વચનો—ને નિહાળો છો. શ્રેષ્ઠ વર લઈને મનુષ્ય તરફ પ્રગટ થઈ આગળ આવો; અમામાં તમારું અતિનિષ્ઠ સુમતિ—સુવિચારયુક્ત કૃપા—સ્થિર રહે.
