अस्य देवाः प्रदिशि ज्योतिरस्तु सूर्यो अग्निरुत वा हिरण्यम्। सपत्ना अस्मदधरे भवन्तूत्तमं नाकमधि रोहयेमम्

For this man let there be, in every quarter, the Gods’ own light—Sun, and Fire, yea, or bright Gold. Let rivals be brought low beneath us; and this one do thou raise aloft unto the highest heaven.
