विराड् वाग् विराट् पृथिवी विराड् अन्तरिक्षं विराट् प्रजापतिः । विराण् मृत्युः साध्यानाम् अधिराजो बभूव तस्य भूतं भव्यं वशे स मे भूतं भव्यं वशे कृणोतु ॥२४॥

virāḍ vāg virāṭ pṛthivī virāḍ antarikṣaṃ virāṭ prajāpatiḥ | virāṇ mṛtyuḥ sādhyānām adhirājo babhūva tasya bhūtaṃ bhavyaṃ vaśe sa me bhūtaṃ bhavyaṃ vaśe kṛṇotu ||24||

Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.

Virā́j [is] speech, virā́j earth, virā́j atmosphere, virā́j Prajāpati; virā́j became death, the over-king of the perfectibles (sādhyá); in his control are what was, what is to be; let him put in my control what was, what is to be.
