Transliteration

váha vapā́ṃ jātávedas pitṛ́bhyo yátraínān véttha níhitān parā́ke | médasaḥ kulyā́ úpa tā́n srávantu satyā́ eṣām ā́śiṣaḥ sáṃ namantāṃ svā́hā

Translation

ਹੇ ਜਾਤਵੇਦਸ (ਅਗਨੀ), ਪਿਤ੍ਰਾਂ ਲਈ ਇਹ ਵਪਾ ਵਾਹ ਕੇ ਲੈ ਜਾ, ਜਿੱਥੇ ਤੂੰ ਜਾਣਦਾ ਹੈਂ ਕਿ ਇਹ ਦੂਰਲੇ ਪਰਲੋਕ ਖੇਤਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਨਿਹਿਤ ਹਨ। ਮੇਦਸ ਦੀਆਂ ਨਾਲੀਆਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਵੱਲ ਵਹਿਣ; ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਆਸ਼ੀਰਵਾਦ ਸੱਚੇ ਹੋ ਕੇ ਸਾਡੇ ਵੱਲ ਝੁਕਣ। ਸ੍ਵਾਹਾ।
