rohíṇī vanaspátiḥ | roháṇy asi roháṇy ásthnaś chinnásya roháṇī | roháyedám arúndhatī
Rohiṇī is the Forest’s Lord. Rohiṇī thou art: Rohiṇī, the knitter-up of bone that hath been severed. Knit thou this here—O Arundhatī, the firm restrainer.
రోహిణీ వనస్పతుల అధిష్ఠాత్రి. నీవే రోహిణీ; హే రోహిణీ—చిన్నమైన ఎముకను మళ్లీ కలిపే దేవత. హే అరుంధతీ, దృఢంగా నియంత్రించువాడవు—ఇదిని ఇక్కడే కలిపి, దీనిని రోహింపజేయి.
