यत्र॑ वः प्रे॒ङ्खा हरि॑ता॒ अर्जु॑ना उ॒त यत्रा॑घा॒ताः क॑र्क॒र्यः सं॒वद॑न्ति । तत् परे॑ताप्सरसः॒ प्रति॑बुद्धा अभूतन
yátra vaḥ preṅkhā́ harítā árjunā utá yátrāghātā́ḥ karkaryàḥ saṃvádanti | tát paréta apsarásaḥ pratíbuddhā abhūtana
Where are your green swings amid the Arjuna-trees, and where the struck Karkarīs make concerted sound—thither depart, O Apsarases; detected and brought to wakefulness, be ye (so) become.
あなたがたの緑のぶらんこがArjuna樹の間にあり、また打たれたKarkarīが合わさって鳴り響くところへ――アプサラスたちよ、そこへ去れ。見破られ、呼び覚まされたなら、そのとおりに成れ(去れ)。
