Transliteration
yá udṛ́ci yajñé adhvareṣṭhā́ marúd-bhyo ná mā́nuṣo dadā́śat | revát sá váyo dadhate su-vī́raṃ sá devā́nām ápi go-pīthé astu ||
Translation
जो मनुष्य यज्ञात, अग्रस्थ अध्वरात, सरळ उभा राहून मरुतांना यथोचित दान देतो—तो समृद्ध पूर्णता आणि सु-वीर्य (सुवीरं) प्राप्त करतो; तो देवांच्या रक्षण-आश्रयात (गोपीथ) असो.
