agrégó rājā ā́pyas taviṣyate vimā́nó ahnā́ṃ bhuvaneṣv árpitaḥ | hárir ghṛtásnuḥ sudṛ́śīko arṇavó jyótīrathaḥ pavate rā́ya okyàḥ ||
Translation
जो अग्रगामी राजा आहे, जो आपः (जल-तत्त्व) यांचा स्वामी आहे, तो स्तुतींनी अधिकच महिमान होतो—दिवसांचे मापन करीत, भुवनांत प्रतिष्ठित। हरि, घृत-स्नु (दीप्त रसाने झरणारा), सुदृशीक, विस्ताराने अर्णवासारखा; ज्योति-रथावर आरूढ होऊन, तो पवमान सोम रयीच्या अंतर्गृह (ओक्य) कडे शुद्ध होत वाहतो।
