Sanskrit Original
वै॒श्वा॒न॒रस्य॑ सुम॒तौ स्या॑म॒ राजा॒ हि कं॒ भुव॑नानामभि॒श्रीः । इ॒तो जा॒तो विश्व॑मि॒दं वि च॑ष्टे वैश्वान॒रो य॑तते॒ सूर्ये॑ण
vaiśvānarasya sumatau syāma rājā hi kaṃ bhuvanānāmabhiśrīḥ ito jāto viśvamidaṃ vi caṣṭe vaiśvānaro yatate sūryeṇa
May we be in the good thought of Viśvānaṟa (Vishvanara), the king, for he is indeed the splendor of the worlds. Born from here, Viśvānaṟa strives with the sun over all this universe.
May we continue in the favour of Vaiśvānara, for verily he is the august sovereign of all beings; as soon as genitive rated from this (wood), he surveys the universe; he accompanies the rising sun.
STILL in Vaisvanara's grace may we continue: yea, he is King supreme o'er all things living. Sprung hence to life upon this All he looketh. Vaisvanara hath rivalry with Surya.
