Sanskrit recitationAtharva Veda 4.34.5

ṣá yajñā́nāṃ vítato váhiṣṭho viṣṭāríṇaṃ paktvā́ divám ā́ vivéśa | āṇḍī́kaṃ kumúdaṃ sáṃ tanoti bísam śālū́kaṃ śáphako mulā́lī | etā́s tvā dhā́rā úpa yantu sárvāḥ svargé loké mádhumat pínvamānāḥ úpa tvā tiṣṭhantu puṣkaríṇīḥ sámantāḥ

He, best bearer among rites when duly spread abroad, having cooked the Vistārin, hath entered into heaven. Āṇḍīka and Kumuda he spreadeth forth—Bisa, Śālūka, Śaphaka, Mulālī. Let all these streams come nigh to thee, swelling with honeyed sweetness in the heavenly world; let lotus-pools stand about thee on every side.

เขาเป็นผู้แบกพาพิธีบูชาทั้งหลายอันประเสริฐยิ่ง เมื่อพิธีถูกแผ่ขยายอย่างถูกต้องแล้ว ครั้นได้หุงต้ม “Vistārin” ก็ได้เข้าสู่โลกสวรรค์ เขาแผ่ Āṇḍīka และ Kumuda ออกไป—ทั้ง Bisa, Śālūka, Śaphaka, Mulālī ด้วย ขอให้สายน้ำทั้งปวงเหล่านี้เข้ามาใกล้ท่าน พองเต็มด้วยความหวานดุจน้ำผึ้งในโลกสวรรค์ และขอให้สระบัว (puṣkariṇī) ตั้งรายล้อมท่านโดยรอบทุกทิศ
