ná dakṣiṇā́ ví cikite ná savyā́ ná prācī́nam ādityā́ nóta paścā́ | pā́kyā cid vasavo dhī́ryā cid yuṣmā́nīto abháyaṃ jyótiḥ aśyām ||

Translation

Hỡi các Āditya, không nhận ra bên phải, không nhận ra bên trái; chẳng phải phương đông, cũng chẳng phải phương tây. Dẫu bằng tâm non dại hay bằng tâm minh triết—được các Ngài, hỡi các Vasu, những quyền năng sáng rỡ, dẫn dắt—xin cho con đạt đến Ánh Sáng vô úy.
