Do you, sons of strength, who have become gods by (your) good deeds, soaring aloft in the sky like falcons, bestow upon us riches; sons of Sudhanvan, you have become immortals.
Ye, whom your artist skill hath raised to Godhead have set you down above in heaven like falcons. So give us riches, Children of Sudhanvan, O Sons of Strength; ye have become immortal.
