ádrógham ā́ vaho uśató yaviṣṭhya devā́ṃ ajasra vītáye | abhí prayā́ṃsi sudhítā vaso gahi mándasva dhītíbhir hitáḥ ||
Translation
హే యవిష్ఠ (అతి యౌవనుడా)! అద్రోఘుడై దేవులను నిరంతరం ఇక్కడికి వాహించు—వీతయే, ఇష్టభోగార్థం. హే వసూ! సుధితమైన ప్రయాంసుల (సక్రమ అర్పణముల) వైపు రా; ధీతులతో హితుడై మందస్వ—ఆనందించు.
