priyā́sa ít te maghavann abhíṣṭau náro madema śaráṇe sákhāyaḥ | ní turváśaṃ ní yā́dvaṃ śiśīhy atithigvā́ya śáṃsyaṃ kariṣyán ||

Translation

Como teus amados, sim, ó Maghavan, na tua proximidade desejada alegremo-nos nós, os varões, como companheiros no refúgio. Abate Turvaśa, abate Yādva, aguçando a vontade por Atithigva, o vidente-hóspede—como quem está prestes a cumprir o que deve ser proclamado.
