वि॒द्युतो॒ ज्योतिः॒ परि॑ सं॒जिहा॑नं मि॒त्रावरु॑णा॒ यदप॑श्यतां त्वा । तत्ते॒ जन्मो॒तैकं॑ वसिष्ठा॒गस्त्यो॒ यत्त्वा॑ वि॒श आ॑ज॒भार॑
vidyuto jyotiḥ pari saṃjihānaṃ mitrāvaruṇā yadapaśyatāṃ tvā tatte janmotaikaṃ vasiṣṭhāgastyo yattvā viśa ājabhāra
Lightning, light, encompassed all; Mitra-Varuna saw thee. That single birth of thine Vasishtha-Agastya claimed when he invoked power and brought thee into being.
When Mitra and Varuṇa beheld you, Vasiṣṭha, quitting the lustre of the lightning (for a different form),then one of your births (took plural ce), inasmuch as Agastya bore you from your (former) abode.
A form of lustre springing from the lightning wast thou, when Varuna and Mitra saw thee. Tliy one and only birth was then, Vasistha, when from thy stock Agastya brought thee hither.
