प्र वां शरद्वान्वृषभो न निष्षाट् पूर्वीरिषश्चरति मध्व इष्णन् । एवैरन्यस्य पीपयन्त वाजैर्वेषन्तीरूर्ध्वा नद्यो न आगुः ॥

pra vāṃ śarat-vān vṛṣabho na niṣṣāṭ pūrvīr iṣaś carati madhva iṣṇan | evair anyasya pīpayanta vājair veṣantīr ūrdhvā nadyo naḥ ā aguḥ ||

మీ ఉత్సాహవంతమైన శక్తి ముందుకు ఉప్పొంగుతుంది—విడిచిపెట్టిన వృషభంలా; అది పూర్వపు ప్రేరణలతో సాగుతూ, మధురానందమైన మధువును పిండుతుంది. వేగవంతమైన ప్రవాహాలతో అది మీలో ఒకరిని వాజైః—బలసమృద్ధులతో—పూరింపజేస్తుంది; పైకి ఎగసే నదులవలె, ఆకాంక్షతో పిలుస్తూ శక్తులు మా వద్దకు వస్తాయి.
