यो भूयिष्ठं नासत्याभ्यां विवेष चनिष्ठं पित्वो ररते विभागे । स तोकमस्य पीपरच्छमीभिरनूर्ध्वभासः सदमित्तुतुर्यात् ॥

yó bhū́yiṣṭhaṃ nā́satyābhyāṃ vivéṣa cániṣṭhaṃ pitvó rárate vi-bhāgé | sá tókám asya pī́parac chamī́bhir anū́rdhva-bhāsaḥ sádám ít tutur yāt ||

Barangsiapa paling banyak berbakti kepada Nāsatyā, dan dalam pembagian persembahan bahkan menuangkan teguk yang paling sedikit—baginya mereka menumbuhkan keturunannya dengan daya-daya hening mereka; dan ia, dengan cahaya yang tak menunduk ke bawah, melaju terus tanpa henti.
