उप कष्स्त्रं पर्ञ्चीत हन्ति राजभिर्भये चित सुक्षितिं दधे | नास्य वर्ता न तरुता महाधने नार्भे अस्ति वज्रिणः
IAST Romanisation
upa kṣstraṃ pṛñcīta hanti rājabhirbhaye cit sukṣitiṃ dadhe | nāsya vartā na tarutā mahādhane nārbhe asti vajriṇaḥ

He amplifies his lordly might, with kings he slays: e’en mid alarms he dwells secure In great or lesser fight none checks him, none subdues,—the wielder of the thunderbolt.
