ऋतं दिवे तदवोचं पृथिव्या अभिश्रावाय प्रथमं सुमेधाः । पातामवद्याद्दुरितादभीके पिता माता च रक्षतामवोभिः ॥

ṛtáṃ divé tád avocaṃ pṛthivyā́ abhiśrāvā́ya prathamáṃ sumedhā́ḥ | pātā́m avadyā́d duritā́d abhī́ke pitā́ mātā́ ca rakṣatām ávobhiḥ ||

Rta—tatanan Kebenaran—kepada Langit, itulah yang kuucapkan; kepada Bumi untuk pendengaran pertama, wahai yang berakal jernih. Moga Bapa dan Ibu memelihara kami dengan daya asuhan mereka, dekat di sisi, daripada cela dan daripada lintasan sukar salah serta derita.
