Transliteration
yád devā́ adáḥ salilé su-saṃrabdhā́ átiṣṭhata | átrā vo nṛ́tyatām iva tīvró réṇur apā́yata ||
Translation
เมื่อเหล่าเทพยืนอยู่ ณ ที่นั้นเหนือผืนน้ำ พร้อมเพรียงและตั้งมั่นในเจตนา; แล้ว—ดุจผู้ร่ายรำในพิธีอันรวมจิต—ฝุ่นธุลีอันคมกล้าแห่งความมืดมัวของท่านทั้งหลายก็ถูกขับไล่ไป. สิ่งปกคลุมสั่นหลุด และความเคลื่อนไหวอันตื่นรู้ก็อุบัติขึ้น.
