I invoke the radiant, lovely one with good praise; may she hear us and make us auspiciously wise. May she, pierced by the needle, grant strength, freeing us a hundredfold.
I invoke, with suitable praise, Rākā, who is worthily invoked; may she, who is auspicious of good fortune, hear us, and spontaneously understand (our purpose); may she sew her work with an infallible needle; may she grant us excellent and opulent descendants.
With eulogy I call on Raka swift to hear may she, auspicious, hear us, and herself observe. With never-breaking needle may she sew her work, and give a hero son most wealthy, meet for praise.
