Transliteration
ātmā́ pitús tanū́r vā́sa ojó-dā́ abhy-àñjanam | turīyám íd rohítasya pā́ka-sthāmānaṃ bhójāṃ dā́tāram abravām ||
Translation
O Si-mesmo é o pai; o corpo é morada e veste; o doador de força é a unção interior. Como quarta potência de Rohita proclamei Pākasthāmā — o generoso, o doador — que completa o gozo maduro da alma.
