ऊर्ध्वो गन्धर्वो अधि नाके अस्थाद् विश्वा रूपा प्रतिचक्षाणो अस्य । भानुः शुक्रेण शोचिषा व्य् अद्यौत् प्रारूरुचद् रोदसी मातरा शुचिः ॥

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

High to heaven's vault hath the Gandharva risen, beholding all his varied forms and figures. His ray hath shone abroad with gleaming splendour: pure, he hath lighted both the worlds, the Parents.
