संवत्सरस्य प्रतिमां यां त्वा रात्र्य् उपास्महे । सा न आयुष्मतीं प्रजां रायस् पोषेण सं सृज ॥३॥
saṃvatsarasya pratimāṃ yāṃ tvā rātry upāsmahe | sā na āyuṣmatīṃ prajāṃ rāyas poṣeṇa saṃ sṛja ||3||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Thou, O night, whom we worship (upa-ās) as model (pratimā́) of the year-—do thou unite our long-lived progeny with abundance of wealth.
Translated by William Dwight Whitney (1905)
