udaprúto na váyo rákṣamāṇā vāvádataḥ abhriyásyeva ghóṣāḥ | giribhrájo nórmayo mádanto bṛ́haspátim abhyàrká anāvan ||
Translation
Jak ptaki wznoszące się z wód, strzegące własnego tchnienia życia, wołania rozbrzmiewają jak te z chmury. Jak fale błyszczące na zboczu góry, radujące się, hymny wzbiły się ku Bṛhaspatiemu.
