IAST Romanisation

piśaṅgharūpaḥ subharo vayodhāḥ śruṣṭī vīro jāyate devakāmaḥ | prajāṃ tvaṣṭā vi ṣyatu nābhimasme athā devānāmapyetu pāthaḥ

Born is the pious hero swift of hearing, like gold in hue, well formed, and full of vigour. May Tvaṣṭar lengthen our line and kindred, and may they reach the place which Gods inhabit.
