अरमयः सरपसस्तराय कं तुर्वीतये च वय्याय च स्रुतिम् । नीचा सन्तमुदनयः परावृजं प्रान्धं श्रोणं श्रवयन्त्सास्युक्थ्यः ॥
Transliteration
áramayaḥ sárāpasas tárāya kám turvī́taye ca vayyā́ya ca srutím | nīcā́ sántam úd anayaḥ parā-vṛ́jaṃ prá ā́ndhaṃ śróṇaṃ śraváyann sá āsy ukthyáḥ ||
Translation
你为塔罗（Tārā）、为坎（Kaṃ）、为图尔维提（Turvīti）与瓦亚（Vayya）备妥迅捷之众，并为他们安置行路的轨辙。那沉沦于下者，你引之上升；那背离者，你使之转回而前行；你使盲者与跛者得以听闻——他确是此颂之真实所指、颂歌的正主。
