वि मच्छ्रथाय रशनामिवाग रध्याम ते वरुण खां रतस्य | मा तन्तुश्छेदि वयतो धियं मे मा मात्रा शार्यपसः पुर रतोः

vi macchrathāya raśanāmivāgha ṛdhyāma te varuṇa khāṃ ṛtasya | mā tantuśchedi vayato dhiyaṃ me mā mātrā śāryapasaḥ pura ṛtoḥ

Loose me from sin as from a bond that binds me: may we swell, Varuṇa, thy spring of Order. Let not my thread, while I weave song, be severed, nor my work's sum, before the time, be shattered.
