Sanskrit (Devanagari)

उत्तरं द्विषतो मामयं मणिः कृणोतु देवजाः । यस्य लोका इमे त्रयः पयो दुग्धमुपासते । स मायमधि रोहतु मणिः श्रैष्ठ्याय मूर्धतः

IAST Transliteration

úttaraṃ dviṣatáḥ mām ayáṃ maṇíḥ kṛṇotu devá-jāḥ | yásya lokā́ imé tráyaḥ páyo dúgdham upā́sate | sá māyám ádhi rohatú maṇíḥ śráiṣṭhyāya mū́rdhataḥ ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Higher than the hater let this Jewel, God-born, make me. Whose are these three worlds that wait on him with milk, with draughts well-drawn—let that Jewel mount upon me, Māyā, for supremacy, upon my head.

Translation

Biarlah Permata ini, yang lahir daripada para dewa, menjadikan aku lebih tinggi daripada si pembenci. Dia yang kepadanya tiga dunia ini berkhidmat dengan susu, dengan minuman yang diperah elok—biarlah Permata itu naik pada diriku, Māyā, demi ketertinggian, di atas kepalaku.
