Transliteration
úpa prá jinvann uśatī́r uśántam pátiṃ ná nítyaṃ jánayaḥ sa-nīḷāḥ | svásāraḥ śyā́vīm áruṣīm ájuṣran citrám ucchántīm uṣásam ná gā́vaḥ
Translation
Mereka maju mendesak dan membangunkan Yang Diidamkan dengan hasrat mereka, seperti para perempuan membangunkan tuan yang senantiasa hadir; para saudari se-rumah bersukacita pada yang gelap dan yang kemerahan—bagai sapi mereka mengikuti Fajar yang beraneka warna, Uṣas, saat ia terbit.
