In mid-air, unto Vāyu, they bowed together; thereby he won success. As in mid-air, unto Vāyu, they bowed together, even so for me let all convergences bow in accord.

ในแดนกลางฟ้า (antarikṣa) พวกเขาน้อมกายพร้อมกันต่อวายุ (Vāyu เทพแห่งลม); ด้วยเหตุนี้เขาจึงได้ความสำเร็จ. ดังที่ในแดนกลางฟ้าเขาน้อมพร้อมกันต่อวายุฉันใด ขอให้การมาบรรจบและความลงรอยทั้งปวงน้อมพร้อมกันเพื่อข้าพเจ้า ให้สอดคล้องเป็นหนึ่งเดียวฉันนั้น.
