IAST Transliteration

sūnṛ́tā sánnatiḥ kṣémáḥ svadhór jā́mṛ́taṁ sáhaḥ | ucchíṣṭe sárve pratyáñcaḥ kā́māḥ kā́mena tatŕ̥puḥ

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Truth-speaking, concord, welfare, svadhā-born immortality, and might—within Ucchiṣṭa; all desires, turned hitherward, are satisfied by desire itself.

Translation

सूनृता (सत्य-वाणी), संनति (मेल-मिलाप), क्षेम (कल्याण), स्वधा-जन्य अमृतत्व और सह (बल)—ये सब उच्छिष्ट में हैं; और सब कामनाएँ, इधर उन्मुख होकर, कामना से ही तृप्त होती हैं।
