प्र स क्षयं॑ तिरते॒ वि म॒हीरिषो॒ यो वो॒ वरा॑य॒ दाश॑ति । प्र प्र॒जाभि॑र्जायते॒ धर्म॑ण॒स्पर्यरि॑ष्टः॒ सर्व॑ एधते
pra sa kṣayaṃ tirate vi mahīriṣo yo vo varāya dāśati pra prajābhirjāyate dharmaṇasparyariṣṭaḥ sarva edhate
May destruction pass away where the kings of earth strive, he who grants you bounty. From the progeny arises law; the protector who removes foes, he allots riches.
He enlarges his dweling, he has abundant food who offers you (oblations) to obtain a blessing; throughhis pious acts he is born on every side in his children; all prosper (through your favour) unharmed (by enemies).
He makes his house endure, he gathers plenteous food who pays obedience to your will. Born in his sons anew he spreads as Law commands, and prospers every way unharmed.
