Translation

ನಾವು ತ್ರ್ಯಂಬಕನನ್ನು ಯಜಿಸುತ್ತೇವೆ— ಸುಗಂಧಿಯನ್ನೂ ಪುಷ್ಟಿವರ್ಧಕನನ್ನೂ. ಹೇಗೆ ಉರ್ವಾರುಕ (ಸೌತೆಕಾಯಿ) ಬಂಧನದಿಂದ ಬಿಡುವದೋ ಹಾಗೆ ನಾನು ಮೃತ್ಯುವಿನ ಬಂಧನದಿಂದ ಮುಕ್ತನಾಗಲಿ— ಅಮೃತತ್ವದಿಂದಲ್ಲ. ನಾವು ತ್ರ್ಯಂಬಕನನ್ನು ಯಜಿಸುತ್ತೇವೆ— ಸುಗಂಧಿಯನ್ನೂ ಪತಿವೇದನ (ಪತಿಯನ್ನು ದಾನಮಾಡುವ) ಕರ್ತನನ್ನೂ. ಹೇಗೆ ಉರ್ವಾರುಕ ಬಂಧನದಿಂದ ಬಿಡುವದೋ ಹಾಗೆ ನಾನು ಇಲ್ಲಿಂದ (ಈ ಬಂಧನದಿಂದ) ಮುಕ್ತನಾಗಲಿ— ಮತ್ತು ಕೂಡ.
