भद्रं वै वरं वृणते भद्रं युञ्जन्ति दक्षिणम् । भद्रं वैवस्वते चक्षुर् बहुत्रा जीवतो मनः ॥
bhadraṃ vai varaṃ vṛṇate bhadraṃ yuñjanti dakṣiṇam | bhadraṃ vaivasvate cakṣur bahutrā jīvato manaḥ ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
A happy boon do men elect, a mighty blessing they obtain. Bliss with Vaivasvata they see. The live man's mind seeks many a place.
Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
