Transliteration
īḷiṣvā́ hí pratīvyàṃ yáj asva jāta-védasam | cariṣṇú-dhū́mam agṛbhīta-śóciṣam ||
Translation
ಸ್ತುತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ನಿನ್ನ ಇಚ್ಛೆಯನ್ನು ಅರ್ಪಿಸು; ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ಅವನು ಪ್ರತೀವ್ಯ (ನಮ್ಮ ಎದುರು ನಿಂತು ಪ್ರತಿಕ್ರಿಯಿಸುವ) ಶಕ್ತಿ. ಜಾತವೇದಸ (ಎಲ್ಲ ಜನ್ಮಗಳ ಜ್ಞಾತ) ಅಗ್ನಿಗೆ ಯಜ್ಞಮಾಡು. ಅವನು ಚರಿಷ್ಣು ಧೂಮ (ಏರಿಹೋಗುವ ಧೂಮ)ದೊಂದಿಗೆ ಚಲಿಸುತ್ತಾನೆ; ಅವನ ಶೋಚಿ (ಜ್ವಾಲೆ) ಯಾರಿಗೂ ಹಿಡಿಯದು—ಮಾನವ ಪಾತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ಅಕ್ಷಯ ಪ್ರಕಾಶ.
