अभिगच्छामहे सर्वे शुचयः पुण्यमाश्रमम्। इह वासः परोऽस्माकं सुखं वत्स्यामहे निशाम्॥ स्नाताश्च कृतजप्याश्च हुतहव्या नरोत्तम ।

English Meaning

Let us then, having purified ourselves, enter the holy hermitage! It is highly desirable for us to sojourn here, here will we happily spend the night, having bathed, and recited the mantras, and offered oblations to the sacrificial fire, O best of men.
