ते वा एते रसानां रसाः । वेदा हि रसाः । तेषाम् एते रसाः । तानि वा एतान्य् अमृतानाम् अमृतानि । वेदा ह्य् अमृताः । तेषाम् एतान्य् अमृतानि

te vā ete rasānāṃ rasāḥ | vedā hi rasāḥ | teṣām ete rasāḥ | tāni vā etāny amṛtānām amṛtāni | vedā hy amṛtāḥ | teṣām etāny amṛtāni

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

These (the different colours in the sun) are the essences of the essences. For the Vedas are essences (the best things in the world); and of them (after they have assumed the form of sacrifice) these (the colours rising to the sun) are again the essences. They are the nectar of the nectar. For the Vedas are nectar (immortal), and of them these are the nectar.
