आ गोमता नासत्या रथेनाश्वावता पुरुश्चन्द्रेण यातम् । अभि वां विश्वा नियुतः सचन्ते स्पार्हया श्रिया तन्वा शुभाना ॥

ā́ gómātā nāsatyā ráthenā́śvāvātā puruścandréṇa yātam | abhí vāṃ víśvā níyutaḥ sacante spā́rhayā śríyā tanvā́ śubhānā́ ||

Datanglah, wahai Nāsatyā, dengan rata yang kaya kawanan bercahaya dan kuda-kuda perkasa, berseri dengan banyak sinar. Segala kuasa yang terpasang mengiringi kalian; bercahaya pada tubuh sendiri dengan keindahan yang diidamkan, kalian pun tiba.
