आत्मा पितुस्तनूर्वास ओजोदा अभ्यञ्जनम् । तुरीयमिद्रोहितस्य पाकस्थामानं भोजं दातारमब्रवम् ॥

Transliteration

ātmā́ pitús tanū́r vā́sa ojó-dā́ abhy-àñjanam | turīyám íd rohítasya pā́ka-sthāmānaṃ bhójāṃ dā́tāram abravām ||

Translation

Ātman adalah sang ayah; tubuh adalah kediaman dan jubah; pemberi daya adalah pengurapan di dalam. Sebagai daya keempat dari Rohita sungguh aku memaklumkan Pākasthāmā—yang dermawan, sang pemberi—yang menyempurnakan kenikmatan jiwa yang telah matang.
