Indra by form, Agni by the bearer, Prajāpati—Parameṣṭhin—Virāj: into Vaiśvānara he strode, into Vaiśvānara he strode; into the draught-ox he strode. Thereby he made it firm; thereby he upheld it.
Indra sa anyo, Agni sa tagapagdala, Prajapati - Paramesthin - Viraj: patungo sa Vaishvanara siya ay lumakad, patungo sa Vaishvanara siya ay lumakad; patungo sa baka ng paghila siya ay lumakad. Doon niya ito ginawang matibay; doon niya ito itinataguyod.
