We know the Father of Śara, Mitra, of hundredfold might. Therewith, for thy body, making welfare—upon the earth—let thine in-sprinkling be without thee: so (be it).

Kami mengetahui Bapa Śara, Mitra, yang berdaya seratus kali. Dengan itu, demi tubuhmu, kami mendatangkan sejahtera; di atas bumi, biarlah percikan/curahanmu keluar darimu—di luar (tubuhmu) adanya; ‘bāl’ demikianlah.
