Transliteration
yaṃ tvam agne sa॒m-adahaḥ tam oṃ iti niḥ vāpaya punaḥ | kiyāmbu atra rohatu pāka-dūrvā vi-alkaśā ||
Translation
ผู้ใดที่ท่านเผาผลาญจนสิ้น, โอ อัคนี, ผู้นั้นจงปล่อยคืนอีกครั้ง; ให้เขาถูกวางลงใหม่อีกครา. ขอให้น้ำ ณ ที่นี้ผุดขึ้น; ขอให้หญ้าเยียวยาเติบโต—ไม่เหี่ยวเฉา—เพื่อให้ภาวะชีวิตกลับคืนความครบถ้วนหลังการผ่านพ้น.
