Transliteration

vaiśvānará̄ya pṛthu-pā́jase vípo rátnā vidhanta dharuṇéṣu ca gā́tave | agnír hí devā́n amṛ́to duvasyáty áthā dhármāṇi sanatā́ ná dū́duṣat ||

Translation

Para Vaiśvānara, amplo em seu fulgor, os videntes dispõem os tesouros e os firmes fundamentos para o nosso caminhar. Pois Agni, o Imortal, serve verdadeiramente aos deuses; por isso as leis eternas do Dharma não falham nem caem em desordem.
