Transliteration
svayáṃ yajasva diví deva devā́n kíṃ te pā́kaḥ kṛṇavad ápracetāḥ | yáthā́yaja ṛtúbhir deva devā́n evā́ yajasva tanváṃ sujāta ||
Translation
ಹೇ ದೇವ, ಸ್ವಯಂ ದಿವಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ದೇವರನ್ನು ಯಜಿಸು; ಅಪ್ರಚೇತ ಪಾಕನು ನಿನಗಾಗಿ ಏನು ಮಾಡಬಲ್ಲನು? ಋತುಗಳೊಂದಿಗೆ ನೀನು ದೇವರನ್ನು ಯಜಿಸಿದಂತೆ, ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಈಗಲೂ ಯಜಿಸು—ಹೇ ಸುಜಾತ, ನಿನ್ನ ತನುವನ್ನೇ ಹವಿಯಾಗಿ ಅರ್ಪಿಸು.
