raré havyáṃ matíbhir yajñiyā́nāṃ nákṣat kā́maṃ mártyānām ásinvan | dhā́tā rayím avidásyaṃ sadā́sāṃ sakṣī́mahi yujyébhir nú deváiḥ ||

Translation

Ia telah menganugerahkan persembahan kepada yang layak disembah melalui bentuk-bentuk pikiran kami; ia telah memenuhi hasrat para fana tanpa kikir. Semoga Dhātṛ menegakkan bagi kami rayi yang tak dapat hilang, yang senantiasa menetap; semoga kami mampu menyertai para dewa yang kini hendak dipersatukan (dalam yoga).
