न ते सव्यं न दक्षिणं हस्तं वरन्त आमुरः । न परिबाधो हरिवो गविष्टिषु ॥

ná te savyáṃ ná dákṣiṇaṃ hástaṃ varanta āmúraḥ | ná paribā́dho harivo gáviṣṭiṣu ||

हे हरिवो! कोणतीही आमुर (जडत्व/मंदता) तुझा डावा वा उजवा हात रोखू शकत नाही; आणि गविष्टि—प्रकाश-रश्मींच्या शोधात—कोणताही परिबाध (घेरणारा दबाव) तुला अडवू शकत नाही.
