Transliteration

nū́ cít sá bhreṣate jánō ná réṣan máno yó asya ghōrám āvivā́sāt | yajñáir yá índre dádhate duvā́ṃsi kṣáyat sá rāyé ṛtapā́ ṛtéjāḥ ||

Translation

แม้บัดนี้ ผู้นั้นก็ไม่สะดุด และจิตก็ไม่ตกสู่ความพินาศ—ผู้ที่บูชาพลังอันน่าสะพรึงของท่านด้วยความเคารพ. ผู้ใดตั้งเครื่องบูชาไว้ในอินทระด้วยยัญพิธี ผู้นั้นย่อมพำนักในความอุดมสมบูรณ์: ผู้ดื่มฤตะ (ṛta) ผู้เกิดจากฤตะ.
