Transliteration
savyā́m ánu sphígyam vāvase vṛ́ṣā na dā́no asya roṣati | mádhvā sám-pṛktāḥ sāraghéṇa dhenávas tū́yam éhi dráva píba ||
Translation
डाव्या (सव्य) मार्गाने फुगलेली समृद्धी प्रवाहित होते; वृषभासारखे त्याचे दान आनंदाच्या वेगाने उचंबळते। मधु व साराने संयुक्त त्या धारा—हे परिपूर्णतेच्या धेनूंनो—त्वरेने या; इथे धावा, प्या।
