दुरोकशोचिः करतुर्न नित्यो जायेव योनावरं विश्वस्मै | चित्रो यदभ्राट छवेतो न विक्षु रथो न रुक्मी तवेषः समत्सु

durokaśociḥ kraturna nityo jāyeva yonāvaraṃ viśvasmai | citro yadabhrāṭ chveto na vikṣu ratho na rukmī tveṣaḥ samatsu

With flame insatiate, like eternal might; caring for each one like a dame at home; Bright when he shines forth, whitish mid the folk, like a car, gold-decked, thundering to the fight.
