Sanskrit (Devanagari)

आ त्वा॑गमं॒ शंता॑तिभि॒रथो॑ अरि॒ष्टता॑तिभिः । दक्षं॑ त उ॒ग्रमाभा॑रिषं॒ परा॒ यक्ष्मं॑ सुवामि ते

IAST Transliteration

ā tvā́gamam śáṃtātibhir átho ariṣṭátātibhiḥ | dákṣaṃ ta ugrám ā́bhāriṣam párā yákṣmaṃ suvāmi te

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Hither have I come unto thee with bestowals of peace, yea, with bestowals of unhurt security. For thee have I brought strong, vigorous power: from thee I drive the wasting Yakṣma far away.

Translation

Aku datang kepadamu dengan anugerah kedamaian, ya, dengan anugerah keselamatan yang tak terluka. Untukmu kubawa daya yang kuat dan gagah; dari padamu kuusir Yakṣma yang menggerogoti jauh-jauh.
