ऋतेन देवः सविता शमायत ऋतस्य शृङ्गमुर्विया वि पप्रथे । ऋतं सासाह महि चित्पृतन्यतो मा नो वि यौष्टं सख्या मुमोचतम् ॥

Transliteration

ṛtena devaḥ savitā śamāyate ṛtasya śṛṅgam urviyā vi paprathe | ṛtaṃ sasāha mahi cit pṛtanyato mā no vi yauṣṭaṃ sakhyā mumocatam ||

Translation

ಋತದಿಂದ ದೇವ ಸವಿತೃ ಶಾಂತನಾಗಿ ಶಮವನ್ನು ತರುತ್ತಾನೆ; ಋತದ ಶೃಂಗವನ್ನು ಅವನು ವಿಶಾಲತೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ವ್ಯಾಪಕವಾಗಿ ಹರಡಿದ್ದಾನೆ. ಯುದ್ಧದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೋರಾಡುವ ಮಹಾಬಲಿಷ್ಠರ ವಿರುದ್ಧವೂ ಅವನು ನಮ್ಮಿಗಾಗಿ ಋತವನ್ನು ಜಯಿಸಿದ್ದಾನೆ—ಅವನು ನಮ್ಮ ಸಖ್ಯವನ್ನು ಸಡಿಲಗೊಳಿಸಬಾರದು; ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಸಹಚರತ್ವದ ಬಂಧನದಿಂದ ಬಿಡಿಸಬಾರದು.
