उपास्महे कालं अमृताक्षं ऋतस्य पथिभिर्धिया
तन्नो देवा अनुमदन्तु यज्ञं सुवीर्यम्
Upasmahe Kalam Amritaksham Ritasya Pathibhirdhiya
Tanno Deva Anumadantu Yajnam Suviryam
With illumined thought along the paths of Cosmic Order we worship Kala, whose axle is immortality itself;
May the Gods rejoice in our sacrifice and grant us heroic spiritual strength.
