ता ईं वर्धन्ति मह्यस्य पौंस्यं नि मातरा नयति रेतसे भुजे । दधाति पुत्रोऽवरं परं पितुर्नाम तृतीयमधि रोचने दिवः ॥

tā īṃ vardhanti mahy asya paṃsyaṃ ni mātarā nayati retase bhuje | dadhāti putro 'varam paraṃ pitur nāma tṛtīyam adhi rocane divaḥ ||

Keduanya menumbuhkan keperkasaan besar miliknya; kedua Ibu dituntun ke bawah bagi benih dan bagi kenikmatan. Sang Putra menegakkan nama Bapa yang bawah dan yang atas; dan yang ketiga ia tempatkan di ranah bercahaya di langit.
