आ जि॑घ्र क॒लशं॑ म॒ह्या त्वा॑ विश॒न्त्विन्द॑वः। पुन॑रू॒र्जा नि व॑र्तस्व॒ सा न॑: स॒हस्रं॑ धुक्ष्वो॒रुधा॑रा॒ पय॑स्वती॒ पुन॒र्मा वि॑शताद्र॒यिः
Transliteration
ā́ jighra kaláśaṁ mahyā́ tvā viśántv índavaḥ | púnar ūrjā́ ní vartasva sā́ naḥ sahásraṁ dhukṣvorúdhārā páyasvatī púnar mā́ viśatād rayíḥ
Translation
ಹೇ ಕಲಶ, ನೀನು ವಾಸನೆ ಗ್ರಹಿಸು; ನನ್ನ ಹಿತಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಸೋಮಬಿಂದುಗಳು ನಿನ್ನೊಳಗೆ ಪ್ರವೇಶಿಸಲಿ. ಪೋಷಕಶಕ್ತಿಯೊಂದಿಗೆ ಮತ್ತೆ ಮರಳಿ ಬಾ; ನಮಗಾಗಿ ಸಹಸ್ರಪಟ್ಟು ದೋಹಿಸು—ವಿಶಾಲಧಾರೆಯುಳ್ಳ, ಕ್ಷೀರಸಮೃದ್ಧ. ಮತ್ತು ಸಂಪತ್ತು ಮತ್ತೆ ನನ್ನೊಳಗೆ ಪ್ರವೇಶಿಸಲಿ.
