Transliteration

asárji skambhó divá udyató mádaḥ pári tridʰātúr bhúvanāny arṣati | aṃśúṃ rihanti matáyaḥ panípnataṃ girā yádi nirṇíjam ṛgmíṇo yayúḥ ||

Translation

จากเบื้องสูงอันสว่างแห่งท้องฟ้า เสาหลักผู้ค้ำจุนถูกปลดปล่อยแล้ว; ความปีติที่ถูกยกขึ้นไหลเวียนรอบ เติมเต็มโลกทั้งหลายที่ตั้งอยู่บนฐานสามชั้น. พลังแห่งความคิดเลียและขัดเกลาลำแสงอันเจิดจ้า หล่อหลอมอย่างประณีต; ครั้นนักขับร้องออกไปพร้อมบทสรรเสริญ ก็สวมอาภรณ์อันเรืองรองให้แก่เขา.
