IAST Transliteration

yé kīlāléna tarpáyatho yé ghṛténa yā́bhyām ṛté ná kíṃ caná śaknuvánti | dyā́vā-pṛthivī bhávataṃ me syóne té no muñcatam áṃhasaḥ ||

English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Ye who with sweet ferment refresh, ye who with ghee; without whom men are not able to effect aught at all—O Heaven and Earth, be gracious unto me: from anguish and from evil set us free.

Translation

ท่านทั้งสองผู้หล่อเลี้ยงด้วยน้ำหมักหวาน และผู้หล่อเลี้ยงด้วยฆี (ghṛta); หากปราศจากท่าน มนุษย์ย่อมทำสิ่งใดมิได้เลย. โอสวรรค์และแผ่นดิน จงเป็นที่เกื้อกูลอันอ่อนโยนแก่ข้าพเจ้า; โปรดปลดปล่อยเราจากความทุกข์ระทมและจากความชั่วร้ายเถิด.
