मा नो अस्मिन मघवन पर्त्स्वंहसि नहि ते अन्तः शवसः परीणशे | अक्रन्दयो नद्यो रोरुवद वना कथा न कषोणीर्भियसा समारत

mā no asmin maghavan pṛtsvaṃhasi nahi te antaḥ śavasaḥ parīṇaśe | akrandayo nadyo roruvad vanā kathā na kṣoṇīrbhiyasā samārata

English Translation (Griffith)

URGE us not, Maghavan, to this distressful fight, for none may comprehend the limit of thy strength. Thou with fierce shout hast made the woods and rivers roar: did not men run in crowds together in their fear?
