स्वास॑स्थे भवत॒मिन्द॑वे नो यु॒जे वां॒ ब्रह्म॑ पू॒र्व्यं नमो॑भिः । वि श्लोक॑ एति प॒थ्येऽव सू॒रिः शृ॒ण्वन्तु॒ विश्वे॑ अ॒मृता॑स ए॒तत्
svā́sasthe bhavatam índave no yujé vāṃ bráhma pū́rvyaṃ namóbhíḥ | ví ślóka eti pathyé’va sūríḥ śṛṇvántu víśve amṛ́tāsa etát
Be ye in sound estate for us, O Indu: for your yoking we bring, with reverent homage, the ancient spell. Forth goes the proclamation on the wholesome path; let all the Immortals hearken unto this.
Будьте для нас в благом здравии, о Инду; для вашего впряжения мы приносим, с благоговейными поклонами, древнее брахманское заклинание. Вперёд идёт возглас по благому пути; да внемлют этому все Бессмертные.
