Transliteration

nā́kasya pṛṣṭhé ádhi tiṣṭhati śritó yáḥ pṛṇā́ti sá ha devéṣu gacchati | tásmā ā́po ghṛtám arṣanti síndhavas tásmā iyáṃ dakṣiṇā́ pinvate sádā ||

Translation

ผู้ใดเติมเต็มและทำให้สำเร็จ ผู้นั้นตั้งมั่นโดยมีที่พึ่งอยู่บนยอดแห่งสวรรค์; แท้จริงเขาย่อมไปสู่หมู่เทพ. เพื่อเขา เหล่าน้ำทั้งหลายหลั่งแสงอันใสกระจ่างดุจฆฤตะ และสายน้ำทั้งหลายไหลพามันไป; เพื่อเขา ทักษิณา (Dakṣiṇā, ทาน/ของบูชา) นี้ย่อมพอกพูนเพิ่มพูนอยู่เสมอ.
