यास्ते॑ धा॒ना अ॑नुकि॒रामि॑ ति॒लमि॑श्राः स्व॒धाव॑तीः । तास्ते॑ सन्तू॒द्भ्वीः प्र॒भ्वीस्तास्ते॑ य॒मो राजानु॑ मन्यताम्
yā́s te dhānā́ anukirā́mi tilámiśrāḥ svadhā́vatīḥ | tā́s te santūd́bhvīḥ prábhvīs tā́s te yámó rājā́ ánu manyatām ||
The grains that I strew for thee, mingled with sesame, endowed with Svadhā—let these be thine, abundant and prevailing; these for thee may King Yama approve.
जो दाल मैं तुम्हारे लिए बिखेरता हूँ, तिल मिला के, स्वधा के साथ, वो सब तुम्हारा हो। भारी मात्रा में हो, असर में हो। यम राजा इसको मान लें।
