Transliteration
úpa prá agāt sumán me ’dhāyi mánma devā́nām ā́śā úpa vītápṛṣṭhaḥ | ánv enaṃ víprā ṛ́ṣayo madanti devā́nāṃ púṣṭe cakṛma subándhum ||
Translation
అది సమీపంగా, ముందుకు వచ్చి చేరింది; నా అంతరంలో సుమన్—శుభచింతన—స్థాపితమైంది; అది దేవుల ఆశ వైపు మొగ్గిన చింతన. విశాల-పృష్ఠుడైన వాహకుడు సమీపానికి వస్తాడు; అతని వెంట విప్రులు, ఋషులు ఆనందిస్తారు. దేవుల పుష్టికోసం మేము సుబంధు—శుభ బంధం, శుభ సంయోగం—నిర్మించాము.
