ā́ suṣváyantī yajáte upā́ke uṣā́sā náktā sadatāṃ ní yónau | divyé yóṣaṇe bṛhatī́ surukmé ádhi śríyaṃ śukrapíśaṃ dádhāne
Translation
മധുരധ്വനിയോടെ സമീപിച്ചെത്തി, യജമാനന്റെ അടുത്തായി, ഉഷസ്സും രാത്രിയും തങ്ങളുടെ യുക്തമായ യോനി (ആസനം)യിൽ ഇരിക്കട്ടെ. ആ രണ്ടു ദിവ്യ യുവതികൾ—മഹത്തായവ, മനോഹരമായ സ്വർണ്ണകാന്തിയുള്ളവ—തങ്ങളിലേയ്ക്ക് ശ്രീയും ദീപ്തമായ അലങ്കാരവും ധരിക്കട്ടെ.
