अध स्वनादुत बिभ्युः पतत्रिणो द्रप्सा यत्ते यवसादो व्यस्थिरन् । सुगं तत्ते तावकेभ्यो रथेभ्योऽग्ने सख्ये मा रिषामा वयं तव ॥

Transliteration

ádha svanā́d uta bíbhyuḥ patatríṇo drapsā́ yát te yavasā́do vy àsthiran | sugáṃ tát te tāvakébhyo rathébhyo 'gne sakhyé mā́ riṣāmā vayáṃ táva ||

Translation

Kemudian, pada gemamu, bahkan kuasa-kuasa bersayap pun gementar; titisan yang menyusu pada sari kehidupan berserak berpisah. Jadikanlah gerak rata-rata-Mu bagi kami suatu laluan yang sejahtera; wahai Agni, dalam persahabatan-Mu janganlah kami—yang milik-Mu—ditimpa mudarat.
