अश्वो न क्रन्दञ्जनिभिः समिध्यते वैश्वानरः कुशिकेभिर्युगेयुगे । स नो अग्निः सुवीर्यं स्वश्व्यं दधातु रत्नममृतेषु जागृविः ॥
Transliteration
aśvó na krándan jánibhiḥ sám idhyate vaiśvānaráḥ kuśikébhir yugé-yuge | sá no agníḥ su-vī́ryaṁ sv-aśvyáṁ dádhātu rátnam amṛ́teṣu jā́gṛviḥ ||
Translation
いななき立つ馬のごとく、ヴァイシュヴァーナラ（Vaiśvānara）は諸々の「生起」によって燃え立ち、クシカ（Kuśika）らにより世々にわたり点ぜられる。願わくはそのアグニ（Agni）—不死者の中に目覚めている者—が、われらに宝を授けたまえ。すなわち高き英雄の力と、前へ運ぶ生命の息（prāṇa）を正しく御する力とを。
