प्र होता जातो महान्नभोविन्नृषद्वा सीददपामुपस्थे । दधिर्यो धायि स ते वयांसि यन्ता वसूनि विधते तनूपाः ॥

prá hótā jā́to mahā́n nabhó-vin nṛ-sádvā sīdad apā́m upásthe | dadhír yó dhā́yi sá te váyāṃsi yantā́ vasū́ni vidhaté tanū-pā́ḥ ||

Ngài sinh làm vị tư tế của lễ hiến, vĩ đại, am tường cõi cao; giữa loài người Ngài ngự như sức mạnh nội tại, trong lòng (tấc) của các dòng nước. Đấng được đặt vững làm nền tảng ấy—dẫn dắt bước đi của ngươi, đem của cải đến cho người hành lễ, và hộ trì sinh linh mang thân.
