अरं॑ दा॒सो न मी॒ळ्हुषे॑ कराण्य॒हं दे॒वाय॒ भूर्ण॒येऽना॑गाः । अचे॑तयद॒चितो॑ दे॒वो अ॒र्यो गृत्सं॑ रा॒ये क॒वित॑रो जुनाति
araṃ dāso na mīḷhuṣe karāṇyahaṃ devāya bhūrṇaye'nāgāḥ acetayadacito devo aryo gṛtsaṃ rāye kavitaro junāti
I am a humble servant; do not restrain me in deeds — I am born for the god, unbound. The god, unknowing of this, the noble one seizes the fat for the king; the poets chant.
Liberated from sin, I may perform diligent service, like a slave, to the divine showerer (of benefits), thesustainer of the world; may he, the divine lord, give intelligence to us who are devoid of understanding; may hewho is most wise, guide the worshipper to wealth.
Slavelike may I do service to the Bounteous, serve, free from sin, the God inclined to anger. This gentle Lord gives wisdom to the simple: the wiser God leads on the wise to riches.
