IAST Transliteration

yáthā kalā́ṃ yáthā śapháṃ yáthā ṛṇáṃ sáṃ náyanti | evā́ duḥsvápnyaṃ sárvaṃ dviṣaté sáṃ nayāmasi

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

As men bring together a portion, as they drive together the hoofed herd, as they gather up a debt—so do we wholly convey all evil-dreaming unto the hater.

Translation

Sebagaimana orang-orang menghimpunkan suatu bahagian, sebagaimana mereka menggiring dan mengumpulkan kawanan berkuku, sebagaimana mereka menuntut dan menghimpunkan suatu hutang—demikianlah kami memindahkan seluruh mimpi-buruk itu kepada si pembenci.
