पृक्षे ता विश्वा भुवना ववक्षिरे मित्राय वा सदमा जीरदानवः । पृषदश्वासो अनवभ्रराधस ऋजिप्यासो न वयुनेषु धूर्षदः ॥

pṛkṣé tā́ viśvā́ bhúvanā vavakṣire mitrā́ya vā sád amā́ jīrá-dānavaḥ | pṛ́ṣad-aśvāso anavabhra-rā́dhasa ṛjipyā́so ná vayúneṣu dhū́ḥ-sadaḥ ||

पोषणासाठी त्यांनी सर्व भुवने धारण केली आहेत—सतत गतिमान; मित्राच्या सौहार्दासाठी ते सदन-आसनाकडे येतात. ठिपक्यांच्या अश्वांचे, मेघरहित समृद्धीचे, सरळ हाकणारे—विवेकाच्या कार्य-मार्गांत ते दृढपणे उभे राहतात.
