Sanskrit (Devanagari)
अधीवसं परि मतु रिहन्नह तुविग्रेभिः सत्वभिर्याति वि जरयः | वयो दधत पद्वते रेरिहत सदानु शयेनी सचतेवर्तनीरह
IAST Romanisation
adhīvasaṃ pari matu rihannaha tuvighrebhiḥ satvabhiryāti vi jrayaḥ | vayo dadhat padvate rerihat sadānu śyenī sacatevartanīraha
English Translation (Griffith)
Licking the mantle of the Mother, far and wide he wanders over fields with beasts that flee apace. Strengthening all that walk, licking up all around, a blackened path, forsooth, he leaves where’er he goes.
