आ धेनवो मामतेयमवन्तीर्ब्रह्मप्रियं पीपयन्त्सस्मिन्नूधन् । पित्वो भिक्षेत वयुनानि विद्वानासाविवासन्नदितिमुरुष्येत् ॥

ā́ dhenávo māmateyám avantīr brahma-priyáṃ pīpayán sasmínn ū́dhan | pítvo bhíkṣeta vayúnāni vidvā́n āsā́ āvivā́sann áditim uruṣyét ||

Chegam as vacas nutridoras, amparando o filho de Māmata; neste úbere elas enchem o amado do brahman. Tendo bebido, o conhecedor peça os discernimentos (vayunāni); com a boca em adoração, que ele amplie e proteja Aditi, a inteireza infinita.
