Transliteration

vi jānīhy āryān ye ca dasyavo barhiṣmate randhayā śāsad avratān | śākī bhava yajamānasya coditā viśvettā te sadha-mādeṣu cākana ||

Translation

Kenalilah dengan nyata kuasa-kuasa Ārya dan mereka yang Dasyu; demi dia yang menghamparkan barhis (hamparan suci), tundukkanlah yang tidak ber-aturan, yang menolak dharma yang benar. Jadilah berdaya, didorong oleh kehendak yajamāna (pelaksana yajña); dan semoga segala kuasamu ini bersukaria dalam madhu bersama, dalam ekstasi perjamuan suci.
