May he who brings life, mover and renovator, establisher of the chariot, the doer of rites, protect us; may the lofty purifier drive away harm for us.
May the life of Subandhu be augmented so as to be more lasting and newer, as men conveyed in acar (are carried on) by a skilful (driver); he who falls from life, increases (his) desire to live; may Nirṛti depart faroff.
His life hath been renewed and carried forward as two men, car-borne, by the skilful driver. One falls, then seeks the goal with quickened vigour. Let Nirrti depart to distant places.
