IAST Transliteration

iḍā́ | iḍáyā́ evā́smā́n ánu vastāṁ vraténa yásyāḥ padé punáte devayántaḥ | ghṛtápadī śákvarī sómapṛṣṭhópa yajñám ásthita vaiśvadevī́

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Iḍā—yea, by Iḍā may she, in ordered observance, encompass us; she at whose station the god-seeking men are cleansed. Ghee-footed, Śakvarī, Soma-backed, she hath taken her place beside the sacrifice, the Vaiśvadevī.

Translation

इड़ा हमारे साथ रहे, हमपे नज़र रखे। इड़ा की जगह पे भगवान के लोग साफ होते हैं। इड़ा घी से बनी है, सोम उसकी पीठ है। वो यज्ञ के पास खड़ी है, सब देवियों में से एक है।
