Transliteration

gambhīrā́m̐ udadhī́m̐r iva krátuṁ puṣyasi gā́ iva | prá su-gopā́ yávasaṁ dhenávo yáthā hradáṁ kulyā́ iva ā́śata ||

Translation

Ty pielęgnujesz wolę działania, głęboką jak oceany, jak są karmione świetliste stada. Naprzód ruszają dobrze strzeżone strumienie wzrostu, jak krowy mleczne spieszą na pastwisko, jak kanały płyną do jeziora wewnątrz.
