दरुहं जिघांसन धवरसम अनिन्द्रां तेतिक्ते तिग्मा तुजसे अनीका | रणा चिद यत्र रणया न उग्रो दूरे अज्ञाता उषसो बबाधे
IAST Romanisation
druhaṃ jighāṃsan dhvarasam anindrāṃ tetikte tighmā tujase anīkā | ṛṇā cid yatra ṛṇayā na ughro dūre ajñātā uṣaso babādhe
English Translation (Griffith)
About to stay the Indra-less destructive spirit he sharpens his keen arms to strike her. Whereby the Strong, although our debts’ exactor, drives in the distant mornings that we know not.
