Transliteration

dhṛtávrato dhanadā́ḥ sómavṛddhaḥ sá hí vā́masya vásunaḥ purukṣúḥ | sáṃ jagmire pathyā́ rā́yo asmín samudré ná síndhavo yā́damānāḥ ||

Translation

Aquele que sustém o voto (dhṛtavrata), doador de riquezas, fortalecido pelo Soma — ele é, de fato, a ampla morada do bem desejável. Nele se ajuntam as correntes de plenitude que seguem o caminho reto, como rios que se encontram no oceano, movendo-se e oferecendo sua abundância.
