The third heaven: this portion do I, the knowing one, bestow—O Viśvakarman, first-born of Order. What by us is given, beyond old age—along the unbroken thread may we pass wholly over.
Langit ketiga: bahagian ini aku, yang mengetahui, persembahkan—wahai Viśvakarman, yang pertama lahir daripada Ṛta (Tatanan). Apa yang oleh kami dianugerahkan, melampaui usia tua—menyusuri benang yang tidak terputus, semoga kami menyeberang seluruhnya.
