Rich in vital strength, rich in milk, on Earth duly measured out and measured; bearing all manner of food, O Hall—harm not him that takes thee to himself.
Bertenaga-hayat, kaya susu; di Bumi ditetapkan dan diukur dengan sewajarnya. Menanggung segala jenis makanan, wahai Śālā (Balai/Aula)—janganlah engkau mencederakan dia yang menerima engkau sebagai miliknya.
