Translation

പരിജ്മാ—വ്യാപകമായി സഞ്ചരിക്കുന്ന ശക്തി—ഞങ്ങളെ ആനന്ദിപ്പിക്കട്ടെ; അപാം വൃഷണ്വാൻ, ജലങ്ങളുടെ പ്രബലമായ വാതശക്തി ഞങ്ങളെ ആനന്ദിപ്പിക്കട്ടെ. ഹേ ഇന്ദ്രനും പർവതനും, ഞങ്ങൾക്കായി ഊർജങ്ങളെ മൂർച്ചപ്പെടുത്തുവിൻ. അപ്പോൾ സർവ്വദേവന്മാർ ഞങ്ങൾക്ക് വിശാലാവകാശം (വരിവസ്) ഒരുക്കട്ടെ—ആത്മാവിന്റെ സ്വതന്ത്രഗതിക്കും വിജയകരമായ ഭവത്തിനും ഇടം.
