Transliteration

prá ye vásubhya ī́vadā námo dúrye mitré váruṇe sūktá-vācaḥ | aváitv ábhvaṁ kṛṇutá várīyo diváḥpṛthivyór avásā madema ||

Translation

वसूंना पोहोचणारा नमस्कार वाहणाऱ्या आमच्या सुकथित वाणी पुढे जावोत; ज्या मित्र-वरुणांनाही दुर्निवार आहेत. तो विशाल अडथळा खाली पडून दूर होवो; आमच्यासाठी अधिक रुंद, अधिक मुक्त मार्ग करा. द्यावा-पृथिवीच्या अवस (पालनशक्ती) ने आम्ही अंतःपूर्णतेत आनंद मानू.
