Sanskrit (Devanagari)

na yo varāya marutāmiva svanaḥ seneva sṛṣṭā divyā yathāśaniḥ | aghnirjambhaistighitairatti bharvati yodho na śatrūn sa vanā ny ṛñjate
English Translation (Griffith)
He whom no force can stay, even as the Maruts’ roar, like to a dart sent forth, even as the bolt from heaven, Agni with sharpened jaws chews up and eats the trees, and conquers them as when the warrior smites his foes.
