कथा दाशेम नमसा सुदानूनेवया मरुतो अच्छोक्तौ प्रश्रवसो मरुतो अच्छोक्तौ । मा नोऽहिर्बुध्न्यो रिषे धादस्माकं भूदुपमातिवनिः ॥

Transliteration

kathā dāśema námasā su-dānūn eváyā marúto ácchoktau práśravaso marúto ácchoktau | mā no áhīr budhnyó riṣé dhād asmā́kaṃ bhūd upamātivániḥ ||

Translation

Bagaimana kami akan mempersembahkan dengan namas (sembah-hormat) kepada para Marut yang pemurah—Marut yang datang oleh panggilan yang benar, para Marut yang jauh-mendengar yang tiba pada seruan yang jernih? Janganlah ular dari kedalaman (budhnya) menimpakan bahaya kepada kami; semoga daya kami untuk mengatasi dan penguasaan yang terukur menjadi berkesan bagi kami.
