Transliteration
adhā́ hi vikṣv ī́ḍyo’si priyó no átīthiḥ | raṇváḥ purī́va jū́ryaḥ sūnúr na trayayā́yyaḥ ||
Translation
Maka sungguh, di antara bangsa-bangsa engkau layak dirindu dan dipuji; engkau tamu kesayangan kami. Menyenangkan, laksana benteng; senantiasa muda dalam daya pertumbuhanmu; laksana seorang putra yang membawa pertambahan tiga-lapis bagi keberadaan.
