ये ते॒ पूर्वे॒ परा॑गता॒ अप॑रे पि॒तर॑श्च॒ ये। तेभ्यो॑ घृ॒तस्य॑ कु॒ल्यैऽतु श॒तधा॑रा व्युन्द॒ती
yé te pū́rve párāgatā́ ápare pitáraś ca yé | tébhyo ghṛtásya kulyā́ etu śatá-dhārā́ vyundatī́ |
To those thy Fathers, the former who have gone afar, and the later who are—unto them let the channel of ghee go forth, a hundred-streamed flood welling and spreading.
నీ పితరులు—మునుపటి వారు దూరంగా గతించినవారు, తరువాతి పితరులు—వారందరికీ ఘృతపు కుల్య ప్రవహించుగాక; శతధారలుగా ఉప్పొంగి విస్తరించుగాక.
