May you be the refuge of your friends, even as the ocean is the refuge of the rivers, the sun of the other planets, the pious of the truth, fertile soil of the seeds and Parjanya of the created beings. May your relations depend on you even as the immortals depend upon the thousand-eyed Indra.
समुद्र इव सिन्धूनां ज्योतिषामिव भास्करः। सत्यस्य च यथा सन्तो बीजानामिव चोर्वरा॥ पर्जन्य इव भूतानां प्रतिष्ठा सुहृदां भव। बान्धवास्त्वानुजीवन्तु सहस्राक्षमिवामराः॥
