तां तु गाथां जगुः प्रीता गन्धर्वा: सूर्यवर्चस: । पितृदेवमनुष्याणां शृण्वतां वल्गुवादिन:,सूर्यके समान तेजस्वी और मधुरभाषी गन्धर्वोने प्रसन्न होकर देवताओं, पितरों और मनुष्योंके सुनते हुए यह गाथा गायी थी
tāṃ tu gāthāṃ jaguḥ prītā gandharvāḥ sūryavarcasaḥ | pitṛdevamanuṣyāṇāṃ śṛṇvatāṃ valguvādinaḥ ||
喜びに満ち、太陽のごとく輝き言葉も甘美なるガンダルヴァたちは、その歌を歌い上げた。祖霊（ピトリ）と神々と人々が、皆それを聴いていた。
