prá hy ácchā manīṣā́ spārhā́ yánti ni-yútaḥ | prá dasrā́ niyúd-rathaḥ pūṣā́ aviṣṭu mā́hinaḥ ||
Translation
അതെ, ലക്ഷ്യത്തേക്കു സ്പൃഹണീയമായ മനീഷകൾ നിയുത (യുക്ത, ക്രമിത)മായി മുന്നേറുന്നു. അത്ഭുതശക്തികൾ അവരുടെ നിയുത രഥത്തോടെ മുന്നോട്ട് സഞ്ചരിക്കുന്നു; മഹാനായ പൂഷൻ ഞങ്ങളെ നയിക്കയും യാത്രയെ കാക്കയും ചെയ്യട്ടെ.
