O Lady of Mānas(a), a refuge, kindly—Goddess, by the Gods measured out and built in the beginning—clothed in grass, benevolent art thou: then unto us grant wealth, with heroes (sons) therewith.
Wahai Isteri Mānas(a), tempat berlindung, yang menenteramkan; Dewi, yang oleh para Dewa diukur dan didirikan pada permulaan. Berselimut rumput, engkau berhati baik; maka kurniakanlah kepada kami kekayaan, beserta para wira (anak-anak lelaki) bersamanya.
