Transliteration
yé te śukrā́saḥ śúcayaḥ śuciṣmáḥ kṣā́m vapanti víṣitāso áśvāḥ | ádha bhramáṣ ta urviyā́ ví bhāti yātáyamāno ádhi sā́nu pṛ́śneḥ ||
Translation
Daya-daya-Mu yang cerah dan suci itu, wahai nyala kesucian—seperti kuda-kuda yang terkendali rapi—membajak bumi tabiat kita. Lalu sinar putaran-Mu yang meluas memancar, bergerak di rabung yang berbelang (Pṛśnī), menuntun dan menghalau perjalanan ke hadapan.
