Translation
നിന്റെ നിക്രമണം (മുന്നോട്ട് ചുവടുവെക്കൽ), നിന്റെ നിഷദനം (കിടക്കൽ/ഇരിക്കൽ), നിന്റെ വിവർത്തനം (തിരിഞ്ഞുമാറൽ), കൂടാതെ അർവത് (വേഗശാലിയായ അശ്വം) എന്നതിന്റെ യച്ച പഡ്വീശം—പാതയും പാദമുദ്രയും എന്തൊക്കെയുണ്ടോ; അവൻ കുടിച്ചതും, അവൻ തിന്ന ഘാസി (മേവു/ചാറ്)യും—അവയെല്ലാം നിന്റേതായി ദേവന്മാരിൽ സ്വീകരിക്കപ്പെടട്ടെ.
