Transliteration

pari-hvṛtédanā jano yuṣmā́dattasya vāyati | devā́ adábhram ā́śa vo yám ādityā́ ahetanānehasaḥ vo ūtáyaḥ su-ūtáyaḥ vo ūtáyaḥ ||

Translation

Ketika manusia terhimpit dari segala sisi dan merasa dilemahkan, ia tetap mencari daya yang Engkau anugerahkan. Wahai para Dewa, harapan yang tak pernah gagal yang telah Engkau tegakkan di dalam diri kami—wahai Āditya—janganlah diguncangkan; semoga pertolongan-Mu, pertolongan-Mu yang baik, menyertai kami, bebas dari mara bahaya.
