Ye Twain who succoured Bharadvāja, who did aid Gaviṣṭhira, Viśvāmitra, and Kutsa—O Varuṇa, O Mitra; who helped Kakṣīvant, and Prota, and Kaṇva—do ye release us from distress and sin.
Vós dois que socorrestes Bharadvāja, que ajudastes Gaviṣṭhira, Viśvāmitra e Kutsa—ó Varuṇa, ó Mitra; que assististes Kakṣīvant, Prota e Kaṇva—libertai-nos da aflição e do pecado.
