Transliteration
utá smā́syá drúvatas turaṇyatáḥ párṇaṃ ná vér ánvavāti pragardhínaḥ | śyenásyeva dhrájató aṅkásaṃ pári dadhikrā́vṇaḥ sáhorjā́ tárītrataḥ svā́hā
Translation
ยิ่งกว่านั้น เมื่อเขาวิ่งอย่างมั่นคงและรวดเร็ว ลมกรรโชกอันรุนแรงย่อมไล่ตามดุจใบไม้ตามหลังนก. ดุจเหยี่ยวโผบินก้มตัวพุ่งลงฉับพลัน ดธิกฺราวัน (Dadhikrāvan) โอบล้อมสิ่งนั้นไว้—ด้วยเดชานุภาพและพลังอันค้ำจุนประคอง ประหนึ่งผู้กู้ภัยผู้พาข้ามฟาก: สวาหา (Svāhā)!
