Transliteration
adha sma yasyārcayaḥ samyak saṁ-yanti dhūminaḥ | yad īmahe trito divy upa dhmātā iva dhamati śiśīte dhmātari yathā ||
Translation
แล้วแท้จริง เมื่อเปลวไฟอันอวลควันของเขารวมตัวกันอย่างถูกระเบียบ—เมื่อเรามุ่งแสวงหาเขา—ทฤตะ (Trita) ผู้สถิตในสวรรค์ก็เป่าลมให้เขาดุจผู้ใช้ที่เป่าไฟ; เขาถูกลับให้คมและสว่างไสว ดุจผู้ขัดเงาในยามเป่าลม.
