अ॒र्ध॒मा॒साः परू॑ᳪषि ते॒ मासा॒ आ च्छ्य॑न्तु॒ शम्य॑न्तः । अ॒हो॒रा॒त्राणि॑ म॒रुतो॒ विलि॑ष्टᳪ सूदयन्तु ते
Transliteration
ardhamāsā́ḥ parū́ṃṣi te mā́sā ā́ cchyantu śámyantaḥ | ahorātrā́ṇi marúto víliṣṭaṃ sūdayantu te
Translation
അർദ്ധമാസങ്ങൾ നിന്റെ സന്ധികളാകട്ടെ; ശമനം വരുത്തുന്ന മാസങ്ങൾ അവയെ മൂടി പൊതിയട്ടെ. അഹോരാത്രങ്ങൾ—മരുത്ഗണം—നിനക്കായി ഇളകിപ്പോയതും ശരിയായി ഘടിപ്പിക്കപ്പെടാത്തതും എല്ലാം ഒന്നിച്ചുകൂട്ടി സുസ്ഥിരമാക്കട്ടെ.
