तं व इन्द्रं न सुक्रतुं वरुणमिव मायिनम् । अर्यमणं न मन्द्रं सृप्रभोजसं विष्णुं न स्तुष आदिशे ॥

táṃ va indrám na sukrátuṃ váruṇam iva māyínam | aryamáṇaṃ na mandráṃ sṛprá-bhojasaṃ víṣṇuṃ na stuṣe ā́diśe ||

ข้าพเจ้าสรรเสริญท่านเพื่อพวกท่าน—ดุจอินทระในเจตจำนงอันเข้มแข็ง ดุจวรุณะในอำนาจอันรู้เท่าทัน ดุจอริยมันในความรื่นรมย์กลมเกลียวและการหล่อเลี้ยงอันเอื้อเฟื้อ ดุจวิษณุในระเบียบอันแผ่กว้าง—ข้าพเจ้าขับสรรเสริญท่านในฐานะพลังผู้ชี้นำที่พึงดำเนินตาม.
