यद् अत्र सत्यं तुवं मार्गसे ऋजुः सेतुर् महा सत्पुरुषेण सेवितः ।
इमां गिरं व्याहर अग्रपुद्गल सहस्रनेत्रो मघवां च शोभसे ॥ ३३ ॥

yad atra satyaṃ tuvaṃ mārgase ṛjuḥ setur mahā satpuruṣeṇa sevitaḥ |
imāṃ giraṃ vyāhara agrapudgala sahasranetro maghavāṃ ca śobhase || 33 ||

Since thou hast uprightly walked in the way of truth, thou art a mighty bridge over which good men cross. O Foremost Man, thou that shinest forth like thousand-eyed Maghavan, pour forth this hymn of thine. (33)
