इति चिन्नु प्रजायै पशुमत्यै देवासो वनते मर्त्यो व आ देवासो वनते मर्त्यो वः । अत्रा शिवां तन्वो धासिमस्या जरां चिन्मे निॠतिर्जग्रसीत ॥

íti cin nu pra-jā́yai paśu-mátyai devā́so vánate mártyo va ā́ devāso vanate mártyo vaḥ | átrā śivā́ṃ tanvò dhāsím asyā́ jarā́ṃ cin me níḥṛtiḥ jagrasīt ||

ఇట్లే, ప్రజ కోసం మరియు పశుమతీ—పశుసంపద/బలసమృద్ధి—కోసం, ఓ దేవులారా, ఒక మర్త్యుడు మిమ్మల్ని జయిస్తాడు—అవును, ఒక మర్త్యుడే మిమ్మల్ని పొందుతాడు. ఇక్కడ మా దేహ-స్వరూపంలో శివమైన (కల్యాణకరమైన) తనువును స్థాపించుదుము; నిఋతి—వినాశశక్తి—నా జరా మరియు క్షయాన్ని కూడా గ్రసించకూడదు.
