संवत्सरस्य प्रतिमां यां त्वा रात्र्युपास्महे । सा न आयुष्मतीं प्रजां रायस्पोषेण सं सृज

The counterpart of the Year, thee, Night, we reverently attend: do thou for us bring forth life-laden offspring, with wealth’s increase and thriving joined thereto.
संवत्सर की प्रतिमा, हे रात्रि, तुझे हम श्रद्धापूर्वक उपासना करते हैं। तू हमारे लिए आयुष्मती प्रजा को, धन-वृद्धि और पोषण-समृद्धि के साथ, उत्पन्न कर।
