agacchataṃ kṛpamāṇaṃ parāvati pituḥ svasya tyajasā nibādhitam svarvatīrita ūtīryuvoraha citrā abhīke abhavannabhiṣṭayaḥ
Father went on, showing compassion, abandoning his own, bound by renunciation. On the celestial bank and the lower bank your many‑colored horses became near to desired goals.
You repaired to him who, aflicted by the abandonment of his own father, praised you from afar; hence your prompt and wonderful succours have been wished to be at hand (by all).
Ye went to him who mourned in a far distant place, him who was left forlorn by treachery of his sire. Rich with the light ofheaven was then the help ye gave, and marvellous your succour when ye stood by him.
