अयं निधिः सरमे अद्रिबुध्नो गोभिरश्वेभिर्वसुभिर्न्यृष्टः । रक्षन्ति तं पणयो ये सुगोपा रेकु पदमलकमा जगन्थ ॥

ayáṃ nidhíḥ sarame ádribudhno góbhiḥ áśvebhir vásubhir ny-ṛ́ṣṭaḥ | rákṣanti táṃ paṇáyo yé su-gopā́ réku pádám álakam ā́ jagantha ||

Eis o tesouro, ó Saramā, oculto no fundo da rocha, ali deposto com vacas, com cavalos, com riquezas. Os Paṇis o guardam, bons pastores da sua escuridão. Mas tu chegaste ao rastro, ao sinal, à própria morada.
