Sanskrit Original
त्वे ध॒र्माण॑ आसते जु॒हूभिः॑ सिञ्च॒तीरि॑व । कृ॒ष्णा रू॒पाण्यर्जु॑ना॒ वि वो॒ मदे॒ विश्वा॒ अधि॒ श्रियो॑ धिषे॒ विव॑क्षसे
tve dharmāṇa āsate juhūbhiḥ siñcatīriva kṛṣṇā rūpāṇyarjunā vi vo made viśvā adhi śriyo dhiṣe vivakṣase
With rites you seat the laws; as if watering a furrow, you bestow; dark forms and bright ones you grant in sacrifice, all wealth you distribute.
The establishers (of the rite) worship you with their ladles (filled with the oblation), like (earth)sprinkling (showers); you sustain exceedingly black forms and white and all beauties for your exhilaration; youare mighty.
The holy statutes rest by thee, as 'twere with ladles that o'erflow. Black and white-gleaming colours,-at your glad carouse-all glories thou assurnest. Thou art waxing great.
