Transliteration

dvitā́ ví vavre sa-nájā́ sanī́ḷe ayā́syaḥ stávamānebhir arkáiḥ | bhágo ná ménē paramé vyòman adhā́rayad ródasī su-dáṃsāḥ ||

Translation

Dua kali ia membentangkan—lahir sejak purba, di rumah yang sama—Ayāsya, oleh kidung-kidung pujian. Seperti Bhaga ia mengambil tempat duduknya di langit tertinggi; oleh kemahiran yang elok ia menyangga dua dunia.
