Transliteration
sá pū́rvyo vasu-víj jā́yamāno mṛjānáḥ apsú duduhānáḥ ádrau | abhiśastí-pā bhuvánasya rā́jā vidád gātúṃ bráhmaṇe pū́yamānaḥ ||
Translation
Ia, Yang Purba, penemu-ketemu kekayaan, lahir kembali; disucikan di dalam air, diperah di atas batu. Penjaga dari kata-kata permusuhan dan serangan, raja jagat; ketika ia dimurnikan, ia menemukan jalan bagi Brahman—membukakan jalan agar mantra menjelma sebagai kebenaran.
