English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Auspicious be your cattle-stall; like the thriving pot-herb let it prosper. Here, even here, moreover, increase and be born forth: by me for you we bring the whole to issue.

Translation

మీ గోష్ఠం (పశువుల స్థలం) శివంగా (మంగళంగా) ఉండుగాక; శారిశాక (కూరగాయ/ఆకుకూర) వలె అది పుష్టిగా వర్ధిల్లుగాక. ఇక్కడే, ఈ స్థలంలోనే, మరింత పెరిగి సంతానాన్ని కనండి; నేను మీకోసం సమస్తాన్ని కలిపి సృష్టించి/ప్రకటింపజేస్తున్నాను.
