IAST Transliteration

tát tvā yā́mi suvī́ryaṃ tád bráhma pū́rvacittayé | yéna yátibhyo bhṛ́gave dháne hité yéna práskāṇvam ā́vitha ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

To that thy noble hero-might I come; to that dread prayer, for ancient forethought: Wherewith thou helpedst Bhṛgu for the wealth set forth, wherewith thou didst befriend Praskaṇva.

Translation

A essa tua nobre força heroica eu me achego; a essa terrível prece (brahman), pela antiga previdência. Com o que ajudaste Bhṛgu pela riqueza apresentada, com o que favoreceste Praskaṇva—com isso, ampara-nos também.
