Transliteration

sū́ryaṃ cákṣur gacchatu vā́tam ātmā́ dyā́ṃ ca gaccha pṛthivī́ṃ ca dhármaṇā | apó vā gaccha yádi tátra te hitám óṣadhīṣu práti tiṣṭha śárīraiḥ ||

Translation

Пусть зрение уйдёт к Солнцу; пусть дыхание жизни — к Ветру. Иди, по закону (dharma) твоей истины, к Небу и к Земле. Или иди к Водам, если там тебе назначено место; в растениях вновь утвердись, с силами телесного воплощения.
