Transliteration

úpa prá agāt sumán me ’dhāyi mánma devā́nām ā́śā úpa vītápṛṣṭhaḥ | ánv enaṃ víprā ṛ́ṣayo madanti devā́nāṃ púṣṭe cakṛma subándhum ||

Translation

Aproximou-se e avançou; em mim foi firmada uma boa intenção — a intenção que, em esperança, se volta aos deuses. Aproxima-se o portador de largo dorso; seguindo-o, os videntes e rishis se alegram. Para o aumento dos deuses, fizemos um bom laço, um bom aliado.
